    Oh, and it's literacy JB.

    I think all training centres do except maybe Cambridge and perhaps where they volunteer staffed

    It's actually the least of my worries that they can't spell, use a spell checker or get someone who can to edit their press and news releases, though that would at least give the impression of some professionalism which is hard to see anywhere else in the operation.
  4. curious
    That sounds a bit defamatory?

    Heavy 9, Heavy 8 retrospective to R1, Soft 7 following R3

    Very hard to prove though that an infringement more than 100m out cost a horse a win.
  7. curious
    Of course. As with interference related relegations, stewards must be certain that the rule breach affected the result. Much easier when that was a deadheat and this is the first time such a protest has been upheld since 2016 but rightly so in my view.

    Just needs the bit about "good income earning opportunities available"!

    Haha. Brilliant. When I've used a treadmill if we want them to go faster we speed up the treadmill. What a stupid remark from an "expert" witness. Be pretty easy to measure the speeds off the video. Did they bother?
  12. curious
    Yeahh well they should put the judge on one of those horses carrying something that the horse thinks is a battery and turn him loose.

    And NZTR in their usual sympathetic and transparent fashion still have provided no update that I can see on the well-being of the other injured riders.
  14. curious
    It's a big responsibility that you shoulder Reefton. Some other clubs don't seem to grasp the gravity of that.
  15. curious
    Can't think of a case where that has occurred but if it has or did and best practice preparation has been followed, then it's probably due circumstances beyond anyone's control and I would see neither the club nor NZTR responsible.

    It was probably me Mark. The responsibility lies clearly with the clubs to prepare suitable tracks. NZTR can provide policy, guidelines, advice, whatever but if clubs choose to ignore it, essentially telling NZTR to stick it, there is little they can do beyond what they are in not funding the abandoned days and removing other racedays until they can present suitable tracks.
  20. curious
    That was meant to say than if run at Awapuni.
  21. curious
    Peculiar to me. Don't see why moving to Otaki would make any difference to servicing requirements than if the meeting had been run at Otaki. On the other hand, I think 8 races is plenty for any raceday.
  22. curious
    Where would NZTR get the money to throw?
  23. curious
    Maybe because they now appear to be a lot more stuffed than they were then or anyone imagined possible.
  24. curious
    Yes. For 14 years.
  25. curious
    Yes. And the report suggests that various failures by the club have contributed despite the track being stuffed in the first place. It indicates a lack of an effective and well maintained irrigation system, a lack of other appropriate equipment and a lack of adequate education for the course management staff. This is a board and management resourcing issue.
