Centaur, did you consider that the accidental publication of the 4th place dividend may have been after the first three were calculated correctly and therefore stood once the fourth was corrected and removed?

All seems rather too little too late doesn't it? Surely, they should have made the case for these jobs to be on the skills shortage list some time ago if there is such a shortage?

Haha thanks! The comment he referred to had nothing to do with GoJ. I haven't a clue who he or she is even. It was a play on words joke which I think most people got. What the heck it had to do with LJM is beyond me. Perhaps he'll explain.

Sorry, you've completely lost me.

Amberley RC lost their assets as well in that treachery as well as the Riccarton Turf Club. As far as I know, the Amberley and North Canterbury ownership interests in that track remain the property of those clubs and are on loan to the CJC.

Probably easier to just get wasted yourself and not worry about it.

And an interesting link between the Warriors CEO/NZTR board chair and the manager/agent for quite a number of Warriors including star player Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, no?

Exactly. We do not know if the vaccinated populations are more likely to be engaged with other protective factors such as you mention as well as the basics such as distancing, sanitisation, PPE use etc. No research has partialed eout these things yet. In the worst case there are tubes of Ivermectin in the tack room.

Having just been offered the vaccination I am trying to decide but will at least wait till the FDA makes a decision on approval. There is no doubt a personal and public health benefit of having it because it appears to reduce the risk of hospitilisation and death if you contract it though the quantum of that remains quite debateable. There are also signs in the data and research that it may reduce the risk of contracting it and of transmitting it, though that remains unclear. It's a risk/benefit thing given available information for me I guess. A major stumbling block is that while the short term adverse effects are mostly relatively minor, longer term adverse effects are entirely unknown. The idea that now booster injections are likely necessary (and they are talking 6-12 month intervals) while the adverse effects of the initial jab/s are completely unknown just adds to that concern. Boosters to modify effectiveness against new strains also seem highly likely as you say.

This is a worry: Drugmaker Pfizer said Thursday it is seeing waning immunity from its coronavirus vaccine and says it is picking up its efforts to develop a booster dose that will protect people from variants.

And the idea that someone in the industry thinks that NOW is the time for change. Some of us thought that decades ago.

Just that over there they might get paid for their trouble. Here it's a community service.

Not a good look.

INTEGRITY is doing things in accord with human rights law and natural justice due process. I'd say the NYRA are screwed here (if I were the next mayor of Auckland I would have said 'fucked') and I expect it will cost them plenty as it should.

Rings a bell eh? A racing authority thinks they can apply rules above and beyond the laws of the land, in particular human rights and natural justice. All over the presence of an illegal drug at an infinitissimal level that could not possibly have affected the horse's performance. Reminds me of the recent cobalt shemozzle down under.

I assume their analysis suggests it is more efficient to move the horse population either permanently or regularly to that track.

My reading was that it was for all industry meetings and only between Aug 28 and April 2. No increases at all during that period.

Yes what are the feature mins going to for the "other levels"? You'd think they would say in this sort of announcement.

Is it true that Forbury are gifting their lights to the CJC so you can gallop before daylight for the increased fees?

Other than the regular meeting fees for any additional meetings, I don't see how that could be justified, especially since they were supposedly built primarily for training and trialling purposes which are largely expected to be self-funding. So, there is no increase in funding, just a reversion to the pre-covid levels?

So, you think in the US they get prescription drugs without a prescription or them being supplied by a vet?

Isn't that already the case in most jurisdictions?

What is ridiculous about it? You want to allow one tx for EIPH on racedays and not another even though you argue those txs are weakening the breed?

I'm not refusing to acknowledge it although there are anomolies in the figures which for example included Puerto Rico until 2016. I'm saying that there is no evidence that Lasix has much if anything to do with that reduction.
