    Do we know if this positive is to cobalt, or something else? The ruling for cobalt was flawed for one thing. There is no evidence cobalt is performance enhancing. The Australian court cases proved the injustice. Same applies here even though all trainers bar one put their hands up, and were charged as guilty. Every licence holder should be treated equally.

    All the hype leading in then an unsafe track offered. I think that is more than teething problems as mentioned earlier on here.

    I don't see how they can race on the back of how the track played on Karaka Millions night. I doubt many jockeys would put their hands up. Avondale may be a cot case but, the track surface looked a lot safer than Ellerslie and in better condition than Pukekohe. Can we PLEASE forget about people getting drunk and focus on the horse and rider safety?

    It will be an interesting one to hear by the sounds.
  5. Special Agent
    Who would want a horse in Central?
  6. Special Agent
    There are examples of farm training, the use of water treadmills and trips to the beach that have worked wonders for such horses.

    And thus sold at market value.

    WTF!!! Trentham off due to an unsafe track. Well done to all concerned. Stop worrying about what licence holders are doing wrongly. Get your own shit under control. This is not a joke. Injuries and deaths are unacceptable.
  9. Special Agent
    And now Trentham off!!!!!! FFS.

    As one trainer told NZTR, don't bother us with stable audits until you get tracks up to scratch. What they are and aren't doing with track maintenance is killing and injuring. I don't think a bucket not properly scrubbed is even worthy of mention on their report.

    Inconsistent (unsafe) track at Hastings so, just the two races there today. No further comment from me required.
  12. Special Agent
    In some instances that could be tricky. Why would riding engagements and fees be different to any other race.
  13. Special Agent
    Probably not gossiping, more likely annoyed.
  14. Special Agent
    Oh yes, you are all correct. NZ Bred OR the other condition.
  15. Special Agent
    To me it would suggest vendor buy backs are okay but, open to comment.
  16. Special Agent
    Reading the terms, I'd say no.
  17. Special Agent
    Yes it does. How is this being addressed?
  18. Special Agent
    More gimmicks.
  19. Special Agent
    Oh dear. Is that a $80K race in our money? The Entain way ... quantity.
  20. Special Agent
    These are all great points that everyone is bringing up, and so bloody obvious those in charge are just giving us all the fingers. It can only end in tears!!

    It is quite surprising breeders are backing this one as it will not reflect a genuine black type race. I thought I heard Bruce Sharrock correct himself saying the CJC would have to buy their slot. What with? They'd have to sell the two houses on the property, if they haven't already.
  22. Special Agent
    So to enter your horse it either has to be NZ bred or to have gone through the NZ sales. I'd say NZB's contribution is providing the vehicle to Auction. NZTR is retaining a slot for whatever knows what purpose.

    If you ask do you think you will be answered?

    Well that makes sense doesn't it because Palmerston North is so close to Petone where the settlers landed on 22nd January 1840. Even the citizens of Maxwell get a holiday on Wellington Anniversary Day, not that their town's sign will let you know these days that it is Maxwell you are passing through. Anniversary Day will be celebrated on Wednesday 20th January in 2025. The Awapuni race is much earlier than that. It's like the Easter Bunny turning up at Christmas.
  25. Special Agent
    Is there any more land to sell? On the subject of the CJC, where do they feature in the highlights package? A weird one for me is the transfer of the Anniversary from Trentham to Awapuni early in the New Year. One would assume the Anniversary was so named as it is usually staged on or around Wellington Anniversary Day.
