Exactly ATA..and if these Managers arnt forthcoming in doing that.... ...just give us the readings they've taken accross the width that morning! Bernie's trying hard...one day he might even get 'Awapuni' right instead of Arra Puni... But these suits are all the same...into 'suit' speak... ...if it's coming from the track managers the info must be GOLD yea na

Oops! That slipped between the sheets! Wins today at Doomben...4th start...note to self...check dates of polls!

A first starter at Ipswich on Friday... Better Than Ready ex Touchy... Had to be a Raging Pole... Bred by the late great Rugby legend Stan Pilecki... Like a raging bull near the line...and Polish to boot...so obvious...any other suggestions are simply dirty minded

So Earily asks Godber today... Mikey Mikey Mikey..we've been talking for years and these flag starts continually have problems"?? Mikey...now upset..."oh yes welllllllll. We've spoken with NZTR again and we relly relly encourage them to start these races from the stalls...besides over 2 miles it doesn't matter does it"? ffs...YES IT DOES!! oh great...but it never happens does it Mike...they just do as they please these Clubs.... ...and so do the Starters...very reluctant to call any horse back...who cares if one gets a jump start eh Boys" Then Earily clean forgot to mention to Mike that the hopeless RIU....didn't even bother to inspect the track...after two slipped on the flat in 'Puddle f in Alley' f me Hopeless is as Hopeless RIU does eh Mike?

Oustanding gift to the Queen when Scomo turns up to visit the Palace..after his incredible come from behind election win... A book about WINX signed by her owners....Debs one... undoubtedly treasured by Her Majesty In a tartan bag...who knew the Queen was Scottish?

McKelvie's family friends with Dame Julie Christale too isn't he? Maybe that's how he got the job...after she introduced him to a day out? BTW...Winnie's celebrating 40 years in Parliament today! What a stunning contribution! Soon his legacy will be cemented with the Racing Industry A Bronze plaque at HQ alongside Sunline...both Champions!

Did I see 1.30.2 for the mile Weas? Downhill with a tail wind...or ultra fast surface...Horlick like? Badly scuttled at the start too...life ain't fear at times!

Needs 'fixing' again by the looks! Mark Davidson in charge...he's usually all over things like this isn't he Freda? Punters, at the very least, deserved a post race inspection of the track after they did they Money cold...other stakeholders as well...and into future racing there Observe the completely unsatisfactory Stipe report from the hopeless RIU ADEQUACY (S Karnicnik) – Poor leap at the fence near the 2000 metres. IRISH DUDE (T Moki) – Poor leap at the fence near the 2000 metres. Lost its footing and fell on entering the back straight dislodging its rider. GO GO GONZO (G Walsh) – Poor leap at the fence near the 2000 metres. PADDY OWEN (S Higgins) – Poor leap at the fence near the 2000 metres. Lost its footing and fell on entering the back straight dislodging its rider. REGALO REAAL (M Gillies) – Poor leap at the fence near the 1200 metres. DELACROIX (J Seivwright) – Poor leap at the last fence. Prior to authorisation of placings Stewards reviewed footage of the flag start and were satisfied that ADEQUACY had not gained an unfair advantage at the start. Hahahahaha

And this 'painted' filly is for sale at the upcoming MM sale...the breeder purposely breeding a coloured horse... By Holy Roman Empire..kept a secret until her colours set!

Taking races off them is a continuing debate...happened once in Australia...and probably never again...Stipes here are totally gun shy over the situation... The other thing is what the hell are we doing allowing 15yo school kids like Luke Myers loose on the race course where they have no means to pay a fine if this happens? They should have suspended him but the whip rules don't allow that...apart from serious breaches...and you could argue winning a race by breaking the rules is serious I guess ...he got his fine reduced due to the fact he's not earning then... 8 career rides now for 2 illegal whip breaches... 30 strikes up the straight....14 before the 100M... Just ban amatuer races... They have no place in this day and age...not only are they a shocking sight But they're taking rides off struggling professionals Mr Oatham produced Mr Myers' record which showed one previous breach under this Rule in the last 12 months. This occurred on 15 August 2018 and resulted in a $250 fine. He said that a fine would be an appropriate penalty for this breach and he reminded the Committee that Amateur Jockeys ride infrequently for no monetary gain. He said Mr Myers' riding style was untidy and there was a pause for 4 strides, albeit not the required 5. He added that although he incurred a $250 fine for his first breach of the rule, a similar ($250) monetary fine would suffice on this occasion due to Mr Myers' status. Mr Myers said that he accepted the Stewards' submission as to quantum of fine. In response to questions from the Committee Mr Myers said that he was still attending school and had no financial means to pay a fine, but if given the choice between a suspension or fine he would prefer a fine. The Committee was advised that Mr Myers has had 8 career rides to date. Reasons For Penalty: The Committee considered all the evidence and submissions presented. Given that this was a whip breach, animal welfare was at the forefront of our decision making. We reviewed the race film and confirmed that Mr Myers struck his mount 14 times with no more than 4 strides respite. It is also noteworthy that MIZZENA won the race by a short margin (a head). The JCA Guide establishes the starting point for a 2nd admitted breach is a $500 fine. Ordinarily for whip breaches we are reluctant to impose a fine less than the starting point unless there are exceptional or extenuating circumstances, in which case we may do so in the exercise of our discretion. We assessed the breach as mid-range after taking into account the number of strikes and the force used by Mr Myers. In mitigation we had due regard for Mr Myers' Amateur status; his limited number of career rides and the fact that he is a student with no earning capacity. We did consider a suspension as an option but given the limited number of available meetings providing races for Amateur riders, we opted for a fine; and therefore after taking into account all the above factors the Committee considers a fine of $400 appropriate. This reflects the fact that professional riders are able to off-set any fine, in part, with their riding fee, whereas Amateur riders do not receive a riding fee. Further as a 15 year old college student, we recognised that Mr Myers has limited means to pay a fine. The $100 reduction from the starting point reflects these two factors. Mr Myers was reminded by the Committee of his future obligations. Specifically he was advised that a 3rd breach of this Rule within 12 months would result in a suspension.

So as I suspected....these b/s 'track reports' are 'inspired' by these 'Track Managers'.... ....who, after numerous requests, from the likes of Doyens such as Pitty, to release ALL information.. notably these Pen. Readings they take...30 in all ...and especially in the straight...which would clearly show where a bias exists... said "bugger off" ...Remember figjam Andy Lacey taking a walk of Whanganui on Saturday and telling us the outside was 6/7...and the inside 11? And all the Track manager told us was... "@ 4 races in...then they'll be coming to the outside" ...make that the 2nd...and the 'outside' where no rating was reported... Just how stupid are these 'Track managers' to deny Punters access to this info.... ...seeing as how PUNTERS are keeping them in a job...beggars belief Read and weep 'Bernie's Blog' b/s...Saundry...gullible az "I'm sure you'll agree" bugger off...nobody agrees.. "quality information" hahahahahaha "This week you may have noticed the appearance of videos on our website and social channels from track managers leading up to their race days. This is something which had its origins from the recent Racecourse Managers’ Conference where the track managers were given a one-page brief on filming these for use online. I am sure you will agree that the track managers are all doing a great job providing the relevant information sought after by punters, trainers and owners alike. These videos, which started to go up last week, are being widely shared on social media so there is definitely an appetite for this quality information from the people charged with preparing our tracks for racing."

And you had him at 20's! Hate it when those racing incidents happen...

So you gave us a 'taste' you old goat ELLERSLIE...a new chase course...full of possibilities now Winter's about to grab us by the coolies.... ...and then you buggered off like you saw Trump or something...you twit ELLERSLIE desolation row But it wasn't your fault obviously...the Committee committed you to a life of leisure...a full 18 hole course....and then some...up the hill....Rabbitville Paradise....that's all that'll take over now... desolation row ...and Vermin of course...Rats to die for....eating their way into the wealthy neighbours pantry's...and panties when that's gone...no doubt...after they've consumed you... ...desolation row ...the Queen's City won't give a jot you've gone though...ignored for too long...the Ghosts of Champion trainer's cries of anguish of "wtf have you become"...long gone...all that will break the silence now... desolation row ...rest well you giant monolithic old thing...12 weeks will seem like an eternity...but not to your suits who supposedly work there..they're gone...off to enjoy the baubles of power on white sand and blue sky horizons... desolation row...

Hold da phone! Those are a tad wrong evidently... The ones taken off video are far more accurate... ...and Benchmarked to previous strongly run Derbys... This writer had Madhmood on equal terms to the winner as well...after allowing for a stumble 800 out...interesting

Don't forget the 'warnings' yesterday as well...including the very lenient allowances in the Amatuer race... J Fillmore MEANT TO BEExcessive use of whip [Rule 638(3)(b)(ii)] S Karnicnik KINGS KITE Excessive use of whip [Rule 638(3)(b)(ii)] W Gordon LACUSTRE Excessive use of whip [Rule 638(3)(b)(ii)] D Mansour RIPPIN Excessive use of whip [Rule 638(3)(b)(ii)] A Goindasamy GRAND RIO Excessive use of whip [Rule 638(3)(b)(ii)] This is very timely to get rid of these horrendous Amatuer riders races though... Their abusive whip record was nothing short of APPALLING last season... Either that or a good series to trial the NO WHIP concept...or possible down the shoulder use only...while retaining the reins

And all grown up! Note the Colours...just like the horse!

I counted 30...and hard ones at that..25 for the Irishman Nick Downs when 2nd in the Steeples as well...fined midweek for a whip violation... ..and what's more the Woman amatuer, abiding by the rules, can't protest!

I'm just happy Lord Sir Bishop Tamaki of the Holy Grail of Grand Poo Bahs has granted Matty his blessings to go for it...hard az So I don't give a flying gig about getting jumped now...whippee btw...what's this got to do with 'Track Videos'?? best

What a farce of farcical proportions... First off we're told there's "confusion" about were the start is... Oh that's right...it's up there...a shute somewhere...where the stalls either cant go or they're too late to shift them?? Looked like the Duck Shoot range actually.... So the Starter got his Starters license from the local Dairy obviously...and allows the subsequent leader..and winner...a running start rather than the rest who are rolling.... ...got a 6L break in no time then....Stipes Inquiry after..."no problem"...great Started looking like a race...then they go off grid to which the caller..Basil....yes Faulty Towers coming up...labels the area "Puddle alley" 3 times...ok we get it now... Its obviously a shit heap of a place where only ducks would venture...right? Thats right..the horse in 2nd place promptly slips over on the flat...'puddle alley' took its first victim...don't worry about the fences...it's obviously the flat that's hard to negotiate... ...out the back, the stablemate of the first 'flat faller', goes out in sympathy losing its back legs in an inglorious display of failing to dodge the puddles in 'puddle alley'... ...it looked more like quicksand though...and they disappeared into the alley...of puddles... Puddles 2 Fences 0 So obviously the Stipes would have 'enquired' into the fact two horses got taken down by the puddles...in the alley...was it safe...pre race...or suddenly developed holes...quicksand?? You guessed it...not a dickybird about it...just 'lost their footing' ffs Sort yaselves out

So this is it for the Queen's City... ZERO racing in the Auckland Metro area for 12 looooonnnnggggg weeks.... What a freaken joke...this is how NOT to grow a SPORT... The World Famous Hill...just a ghost Hill now...a few select races...then locked up What a total waste.... Just sell it off if you're not going to use it Auckland Racing Club... The Committee in the Maldives sunning your skinny white asses while Muzza Baker has to travel to Ruakaka...do you have no shame?? You had the opportunity to put a Strathyr in...but you BLEW IT TOTALLY abrogating your responsibility to the Racing Industry in Auckland...and NZ Enjoy your break soft cocks

This one of Bouchard is cool as well!! Maybe more concentration on tennis than social media though... what a shame our Jocks woman don't promote the sport as well as Genie

Interesting splits too... ...looks like Mad could be just a 2K horse moon! Just get on in the Cox!

How good looking is this dude...and a Thoroughbred!! A rare OVERO Thoroughbred... ...and Stakes Placed in Germany now!

And many times they do..often you'll hear the Clubs CEO's like Butch Castles trumpeting that very fact...in cohoots with a Stipe....to rubber stamp the Track Manager's opinion... ...the problem with tracks like WANGANUI is the Track Manager guessing how long they take to come to the outside... ...then not telling us what the reading is where they actually race! How stupid is that?

How dare you!!! Kelvin Tyler is az honest azzzz!...the day is long...and it's very long down there... Az soon az he said that he instantly apologised.... ...which is more than a Harness type would do when charged with adminning Blue stuff... ..or supplying party poppers...give us an mmmmm...give us a Deeeee...an hhhhhh what have we got?? Its party time après Jewels....let's dance...hard out baby... ...and they still get to drive and be laudered...weird az
