  3. Horse trainers face assault allegations Police have become involved in two alleged assaults involving harness racing trainers. One incident happened at the Kaikoura Cup meeting last week, and the other several weeks ago in Canterbury. In the Kaikoura assault, it is alleged a trainer punched another trainer, leaving him with a black eye. The trainer being investigated for that alleged assault is also caught up in Operation Inca, where he is facing charges. Operation Inca is the long-running investigation into alleged race fixing and drug-related matters within the harness racing industry. The victim of the alleged assault at Kaikoura told The Star: “I have a decent black eye. Actually, a really good one, to be honest. “There was no good reason for why it happened. He was definitely in the wrong. He was talking about people behind their backs and I hit him up about it and told the person he was talking about. He got very upset about it. But, I would do it again, for a black eye, I’d do it again.” The trainer accused of the assault would not talk to The Star: “Mind your own business.” In the other incident, another trainer is alleged to have assaulted his partner. Racing Integrity Unit general manager Mike Godber confirmed it had received information regarding the matter and passed it on to police. The RIU is the racing industry’s investigative body. The Star understands the woman and her family, who are involved in the administration of the harness racing industry, do not want to take the matter further. Police confirmed they are looking into both alleged assaults. louis.day@starmedia.kiwi sophie.cornish@starmedia.kiwi Star News
  4. bet size bound to be a consideration but betting history probably more important
  5. i have not heard of a restricted punter being restricted the first time they were in the black were you restricted immediately you were an overall winner ?
  6. lord manhattan and mike defilippi ran 3rd lol
  7. did me out of a quinella at timaru one day
  8. i would expect they will be given some latitude as i believe all restricted punters have been afforded
  9. why do you think the boys get paid are being discouraged ?
  10. then lord lenny came along and his half bro lookahead (by the sire of bloss) drove bonnies chance before richard brosnan took over her training and was go to driver for gordon davidson of steady lady, gate pa and rollicking dean fame and he also drove giovanetto as a 2 and early 3yo

  20. i have to refer you to the tab for that answer i do applaud them for doing so but its rather gobbledygook so work still to be done if it is to continue I await what they tell you
  21. what was the agency turnover figure for 18/19 and what is it for the first 3 months of 19/20 ?
  22. as a stand alone figure one has much more relevance that the other but the more info the better have you inquired as to why these are not obviously available to the public?
  23. are you meaning tote turnover
  24. makes perfect sense to restrict fixed odds access to some some of those $10k bets are by previously restricted punters so its not a life time thing any progress re the perceived breach to your human rights
