as it should be! with thanks! @Wingatui recently, a nice day, I recon there might have been 50 people pass around the Public area! I recon I spoke to 49

what would the price of a beer be? $9 at Wingatui the other day! for those big meetings, a entrance charge?

It would be interesting to track that in nz since the start of TAB? Handsome profits for each race once! When did it change, when did the prize money get out of wack with what was bet? How obliged are new Tab managers now in releasing betting numbers?

I got to know him when he first started out! from humble (racing) beginnings! he really did start at the bottom! A lot have him starting out at Paddy Bus, but he actually started with another Foxton trainer, Alister Good, a interesting bloke was he... gee! 30 years later! 162 G1's.. What a ride!

he present perplexed in the after race interview! At least 3 of his runners put in Winning runs Then, where to be placing next??? Great race well deserving of its G1 tag!!!

please share

how is that meant to work?

(from left field) By chance: I note the passing of Prof Bill Harris earlier this year!

yip... baton down the hatches! ride the chaos! and see where ya end up! ☹️ then, cognitzing all that sort of stuff! how can "one" detach from it and Find some Fun via the up coming Spring races

As the 'rate of profit declined', there has been a need for a more 'hands on approach', driven by the voting power of the Big Clubs! as ever, In whose Interest$?

tick... though, the ever use of straw dogs get tedious... more historical stuff needed.. more insights into upcoming group races...

sigh....

Top Waikato jockey Matthew Cameron suspended for cocaine Jo Lines-MacKenzie August 20, 2024 • 01:01pm Share Matthew Cameron has been suspended from riding for nine months (file photo) TRISH DUNELL / The Press Waikato jockey Matthew Cameron has been forced to hang up the saddle for nine months after testing positive for cocaine. The 37-year-old claims he didn’t realise his non-alcoholic drink at a Cambridge gathering had the Class A drug in it - though he was aware some people were putting“caps” into their drinks. In a decision released by the Racing Integrity Board, it’s stated Cameron had ridden in several races at Racing Rotorua club meeting at Arawa Park on July 3, 2024. He was one of 20 jockeys selected for drug screening that day. Cameron supplied a urine sample which upon analysis was positive to benzoylecgonine, a metabolite of cocaine. On July 11, a Racing Integrity Board investigator advised Cameron of the result. Cameron “adamantly denied snorting cocaine”, but he admitted to having been at a friend’s address in Cambridge on the evening of June 29, where he was aware of drug use. Matthew Cameron was convicted of indecent assault on a man in 2021. Mark Taylor / Waikato Times Cameron has no previous judicial history involving controlled drugs. He has two other historic offences, one making a false statement and falsifying documentation in 2007, resulting in a 6-month disqualification. And he had his riding licence revoked after being convicted of an indecent assault in 2021. On the cocaine allegation, Cameron told the investigator the female host told the drink that might have cocaine in it - after he’d finished drinking it. “I’m pretty sure one of the boys put something in the drink.” Cameon alleges he didn’t think a lot about it at the time and didn’t feel any different. He estimates that he had four to five non-alcoholic beverages before driving home. Cameron said in an email response to the RIB that he was aware that there were drugs at the property but had no intention of consuming any. “I would like to clear up that my drink wasn’t spiked as I see drink spiking a little different to what I have said. “I was aware that people were putting caps of cocaine into there [sic] drinks, and I was unlucky that someone had put one of them into the drink I was drinking not knowing it was mine or intentionally doing it to me.” Cameron was told after he had consumed the drink cocaine had been put in it. “I’m not denying that cocaine was in my system. All I can say is there was no intention to go to this gathering and consume the drug.” Matthew Cameron says he didn’t know cocaine was in a drink he consumed (file photo) Glenn Jeffrey/Fairfax NZ / Glenn Jeffrey The RIB took Cameron’s suggestion of cocaine in his drink to the Institute of Environmental Science and Research scientist in the toxicology team. An unnamed member who has 31 years experience stated she’s never had a case where a person has used cocaine by way of ingestion through drinking. She said cocaine users predominantly snort or inject the substance. New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing began drug testing industry participants in 1995. All riders are aware of the policy and the consequences should they not comply, the organisation said. The testing is conducted to maintain a safe and healthy workplace and to maintain the integrity of the industry. Cameron has been disqualified for nine months and ordered to pay the analysis costs of $187.50 to the RIB.
