  10. doh! I have not been looking a them lately, popped in to see if a young rider was having any rides and see that they not longer have the Trainers and Rider options? am I missing something? or have they dropped them?
  11. we were going to go! noted the weather! cancelled and headed off to Cromwell for 3 days instead! 4c out side, with a serious wind chill.. snow not to far up the hills!
  12. surprised to see so many don't have a photo up.
  13. and the irony of how more and more historically has been bet on the 'oz product' v NZ... what odds the new total monopoly just takes more and more and more... sigh
  14. noted. we actually book accommodation for that last meeting, but cancelled when the notice re track inspection kicked in... sigh, will have a look at that spring meeting.
  15. “In a time when perception matters more than ever, this is a welcome and timely step forward.” “This isn’t about PR or spin. It’s about showing people what actually happens and trusting that the truth speaks for itself.” I quest it might be time for me to head off to the back paddock and bring in the full sister to the great Pinocchio! I be willing to sell 5% shares at $10000. Planning to set resulting strapping young colt for the G1 two year old races and then later go for the Derby and as a 4 year old either the Cox Plate or Melbourne Cup, though will keep open having a go at the Everest! Aldous Huxley has agreed to take a small share and also train the champ for us!!! Regards, George Orwell ps, minimal propaganda was used in this post!
  16. How in a Capitalist economy can a large multinational be allowed to form a total monopoly? Claiming amongst other things that it will allow them to better deal with problem gambling??? While at the same time be screwing the punter with ever large 'take outs'! Yeah Right!!! I presume that these 'leading' capitalist are in support of this new monopoly? "Vela is joined by Cambridge Stud owner Brendan Lindsay, Waikato Stud boss Mark Chittick, big-time investor and breeder Greg Tomlinson, Ken Breckon, who owns giant harness racing operation Breckon Farms, and in a huge coup, champion expat trainer Chris Waller." ps. Does CER come into play?
  17. fecking delusional... for me! it just strengthens my resolve to totally retired from racing and betting... date locked in, 3/3/26 tick!
  18. curry favour phrase of curry ingratiate oneself with someone through obsequious behaviour.
  19. `T, I don't think you curry much favour using language like the above. Many workers go to work and make errors of judgement!
  20. yip, that is partly why I put the post up... it is especially weak for Racing History, especially around facts! partly down to the crap strategic decisions from HO around their data base...
  21. to the question: What initiatives exist to educate youth about gambling risks? New Zealand has been stepping up its efforts to educate young people about gambling risks through a mix of school-based programs, public health strategies, and community outreach. Here are some key initiatives: Tūturu Program: Developed by the New Zealand Drug Foundation, this initiative integrates gambling education into school curricula. It emphasizes real-life decision-making and wellbeing, helping students understand gambling risks in the context of broader life choices. Government Strategy to Prevent and Minimise Gambling Harm: Backed by a $76 million investment, this national strategy includes education initiatives specifically targeting rangatahi (young people). It also funds digital tools, peer support networks, and culturally tailored resources for Māori, Pacific, and Asian communities. Safer Gambling Aotearoa Campaign: This public awareness campaign promotes early recognition of harmful gambling behaviors. It uses posters, digital content, and community events to encourage young people to seek help and support others. Gamble Host Resources: These are training and education materials aimed at venues that offer gambling, but they also include youth-focused content to raise awareness and promote safer environments. If you're curious, I can also help you explore how these programs are being received by young people or how they compare to international efforts. Want to dig deeper?
