    Correct, that woman trainer from Riccarton is too thick to know that her third rate scrubbers aren't good enough to compete on firm grass/turf, whereas the Synthetic gives her a second crack. Her and the clown she's in bed with are also anti padded whips, yet the likes of J.B. Cummings and other successful horse personnel are/were pro non padded whips ! Elsewhere on this forum she referred to Winston Peters as clueless. If Peters is clueless, his predecessors were imbeciles.

    The most proven method of getting a horse beat is to take it via the pilgrimage. A well known Australian jockey of an earlier era in Mel Schumacher was disqualified for life (reduced to five years) for pulling another jockeys leg whilst winning the 1961 AJC Derby. It's an indictment on our weak useless Stewards when Schumacher can get life (reduced to five years) for trying to win, yet 65 years later with modern digital technology Kennedy can walk free for trying to lose !

    Doubt there's been a poorer exhibition in a major race here, maybe on an off track there's an excuse but certainly not on firm Strathayr. Even if he was told to lead, no jockey worth their salt should murder the horse in doing so. I've seen dead ones ridden like that but never in a million dollar race. Incompetence personified.

    If a little known apprentice navigated the course like a drunken sailor bouncing up and down like a whores drawers you'd never hear of them again. In Australia or Hong Kong he'd be on the mat for not riding the horse on its merits and looking at a long stint in the sin bin. Didn't that jockey win a premiership and seven in a day???

    Was the jockey on a sight seeing trip or did he loose his compass?

    Since the inception of the Ellerslie Strathayr many runners have been murdered by jockeys loosing their compass. The slight downhill run to the home bend and insufficient camber makes it impractical to go wide IMO. The caveat is if another runner gives you a cart into the race as was the case with the Cup winner, but what usually occurs is the half-baked jockeys inside you force you over considerably more extra ground, not only exacerbating your chance but theirs as well. Ellerslie should consider installing a false (cutaway) rail which would be a massive assist to back runners.

    Yes, the Maori All Blacks alone can tongue each other for ever and a day on home soil but certainly not in another country. Our national anthem sung by a Maori is more appropriate.

    Wightman's horse is still capable of performing at that level in my view. You can get away with using them against inferior opposition but against a quality field it's a different story. This race highlights how bad our jockeys currently are when a bloke from Australia who's rarely rides here can come from last and not go around a horse. Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

    Good post TAB. Smells like Fish has also requested me confront him/her/it in person but when one has walked with kings/queens in life you have little regard for minnows of Smells like Fish's ilk.

    That's Camilla I'm riding, I ride her often. As for asking why, I often ask myself why I'm conversing with non achievers in the game !

    When I last spoke to TK he was contemplating sending it to that woman trainer from Riccarton, she knows all about training slow bastards !
  12. billy connolly
    Another conviction. Hard to believe that a jockey who won a Melbourne Cup and was once Moroney's stable rider would keep this slow bastard going, especially so when he owns half.

    Don't know the facts but if I was Laxon/Symons I'd be hiring hit men. What is the banks position, wouldn't there be interest accruing or have the funds vanished ?
  14. billy connolly
    Had a phenomenal turn of foot when wanted. You have a better memory than David McCarthy, but McCarthy was a better scribbler !

    The Twinkle was an outstanding racemare and arguably the best horse the brothers bred or raced but she was a flop as a broodmare. The Twinkle won the 1980 Timaru Cup beating The Fantasy, The Dimple won it in 1981 and 82.

    Herock's exhibition on Idyllic was mostly responsible for the time posted in Telegraph. Hercock is a piss-poor rider in my view.

    This is the original PDF report, note their/there spelling. Report 2024-12-22 Gore.pdf

    Incredible that Rebecca Haley who couldn't make the grade as a jockey now finds herself the Chairperson of Stewards at Gore. And if Haley dictated this Stewards report, when using a noun that is owned by someone, the correct pronunciation is their not there FFS.

    Wankathon !

    Oh dear, now we've got the woman trainer from Riccarton putting the boot into a Hall of Famer with over 2000 wins in the bin. Possibly 80% of race interference can be attributed to slow bastards getting in the way of horses with ability which has no doubt been a contributing factor in Bossom's rap sheet. There's not a lot of difference between winning and losing in this game but the winners have the mongrel to succeed!

    John Craig's integrity is beyond reproach. A former West Coaster, he's been in the game for 55 years and was the assistant judge to his predecessor. Get back into bed with that woman trainer from Riccarton.

    The general public are like you, wouldn't have a clue and neither would the clowns you're in bed with. Jockey incompetence is a bigger issue than soft, padded whips. Get yourself a decent horse as the scrubbers you send around need more than whip persuasion.
  23. billy connolly
    Ironical that horses (including those trained by you) are permitted to be domiciled in zoo like conditions and forced to perform the same monotonous routine every day, yet you're preaching to the ignorant on whip use ! The zoo like conditions in which you and many other public trainers train under does far more damage to a horses mind and well-being than a few whip strikes, flank included. Get back into bed with the clown who started this thread, neither of you have a clue.

    Nothing wrong with my riding record, squire. Ridden some very nice fillies both on and off the track. Regarding woman jockeys, they weren't a threat in my day as the males were dominant... and better but I did enjoy riding against them as they made good (bunny) pacemakers in staying races !

    I'm currently on the waiting list to have a sex-change operation, have been on hormone treatment for two years, wear women's clothes, and carry a driver's license sporting a new name (Michelle). My face is framed by long hair and dangly white earrings and once my "adam's apples" are removed (hopefully) I can be recognized as a woman.
