Thanks, I've passed that on

I note that they have uploaded videos of each subject on Weigh In this week. I presume this is to censor the thinly veiled threat in the comment from the Avondale CEO. It won't go away fellas just because you hide it. Much the same as the weekly and YTD wagering data

The Queens fave

Come on VS, well at least you didn't say Sheryl Crow

My next door neighbour is a part owner of Zedsational, So any updates are appreciated, and I will pass them on to her

Does anyone have an update on her condition?

I think we should put in a shortish response, on issues that appear not to be thought out eg The report states"Requires reconstruction of course proper, a synthetic track", for Awapuni and Riccarton. This is ambiguous It then says further in the venue plan 20/21Race at 34 existing venues (Awapuni course proper still out but race on synthetic So it would appear the plan at Awapuni and Riccarton anyway, but not other courses like Hastings, New Plymouth, Auckland, is to put in 2 tracks at the above 2 venues From info disseminated by someone who should know. on the Strathayr thread, we are being told a properly constructed Strathayr track will handle extra wear, so why spend extra money on synthetic tracks, at Riccarton, Awapuni and Cambridge I would say a lot of the stuff in the report is non-negotiable, and all you can really do is agree in principle, so might as well say nothing Thoughts

A few more questions 1. The majority of race day abandonments in NZ have been down to 2 things - waterlogged tracks, through excessive rain either in the days leading up to or on race day - rain on the day on say a G3/D4 tracks, a horse slips, the meeting is called off due to safety concerns Please note we run a scale in NZ from Fast1 up to Heavy 11(Fast, Good, Dead, Soft, Heavy) What impact would Strathayr tracks have on this 2. For the Winter months(June, July, Aug), other than Ruakaka and Te Rapa, NZ races on heavy tracks, more often than not very heavy tracks. We get a situation where margins are double digit lengths, fields finish spread over 200m, and 800m out you know whether your horse will be in the finish. Not very inspiring for punters. What would be the situation on a Strathayr track Please note that in the 3 months June/July/Aug we get cumulative rainfall totals in the high 300mm for places like Tauranga, New Plymouth, Auckland, 3 notable bog tracks in heavy rainfall conditions Thanks again

Fair enough, was just trying to illustrate the folly of trying to re-invent the wheel, when there is a perfectly proven product available. Let's see where your last paragraph goes

I read about that, severe stomach pain from a fishbone that he swallowed, apparently it will dissolve

Classic

Thanks, I have a few more 1. How does the support work, is it part of a maintenance contract ?? People left to their own devices, can tend to stuff things up 2. Does Strathayr license out in each country and just become a project manager. ie growing of the turf, installation work etc 3. Had Eagle Farm been Strathayr, I presume there would have been no problems and they would have been racing there 2-3 years ago

Can we keep this thread low profile, god forbid Ted hears about it He must have already copy and pasted a telephone book off Whaleoil I suppose it keeps the traffic up on the liquorice all sorts site Might rename it Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

It's not dark anymore it's liquorice all sorted By that fella, is that the one that was predicting a Nats/Greens coalition Surely even Thomas could debate with someone who was so far off the mark

Catch 22 isn't it These people that have been charged are innocent till proven guilty They will defend their innocence in every court in the land. Meantime the integrity of the sport suffers with all the attention. This case is no different to the Cropp case, where she took it all the way to the Supreme Court and lost I remember it vividly, because at the time, she was riding the Chief Justice's horse in a big cup, and the Chief Justice, Dame Sian Elias, had to stand down from the case. The only difference with Cropp's case, at the time, the Rules of racing did not allow NZTR to suspend her license http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/279835/Racehorse-owning-judge-stands-down-from-Cropp-case

9.15 all up, just as a comparison, not that it matters, and no I didn't

If I recall correctly, this is the clause that went into the Thoroughbred rules after the Lisa Cropp case
