  1. They should have given Forbury the Easter Saturday and Monday dates they took off Hawera
  2. The horse is probably the stable's galloping pace maker going around for "also ran money" to go some way toward paying for feed and shoes.
  3. He wasn't charged with any driving offences. He pleaded guilty to betting on another horse in a race that he was driving in.
  4. http://www.jca.org.nz/non-race-day-hearings/appeal-s-lawson-v-riu-decision-dated-29-may-2020-chair-hon-j-w-gendall-qc
  5. Racing at Alexandra Park is in big trouble
  6. Moved South a while back I think, but not sure where exactly
  7. My guess is he's gone because Justin Evans' salary was less
  8. WTF has this conversation got to do with Harness Racing?
  9. I have a friend who started work as an investigator a few years back and he wasn't on a lot more.
  10. Came from higher up I believe - thoroughbreds effected just the same ......
  11. Because HRNZ made an order to that effect - and from memory stated that a breach of the order would be considered a serious offence.
  12. Let's wait and see if there are 97 Auckland trained horses nominated for the first June meetings in the North - I anticipate NOT! How can there be one horse ready to qualify in May when nobody's meant to be fast working?
  13. Hmmmmm - I recall the last "all mile night" only attracted enough nominations to make up 5 races (just)!
  14. Garrick Knight's latest tweet is interesting
  15. That just show's how outdated the HRNZ rules are - though I'm sure it would be argued that "inspector" and "investigator" are the same thing.
  16. 223 (3) Every Racecourse Inspector shall be entitled to enter upon the property of any licensed person and enter any building, room or place thereon used in connection with the training or breeding of horses when exercising their power under these Rules. Got bored so had a look - can't find anything in relation to your numbers 3 and 4.
  17. Unfortunately, if the government restricts travel between regions like Auckland and Waikato then I can't see either venue getting a worthwhile meeting off the ground
  18. Didn't know these guys had even opened yet? LONE STAR ALEXANDRA PARK 32 $150,000.00 07/04/2020
  19. Not "our" HRNZ though ......
  20. HRNZ LTD 69 $482,212.80 07/04/2020
  21. Rumour is that he’s already handed in his licence
  22. Yep - only applies to jockeys for some reason
  23. Owner gave Butcher the drag according to Garrick Knight
  24. Acting on a report provided by Racing Investigators who completed a stable inspection at the training premises of N McGrath, Stewards ordered that CLOUD NINE and STEEL THE SHOW in Race 8 be scratched acting under Rule 213(1)(c). An investigation was opened into this matter.
  25. ..... that team driving backfired on them!
