  1. Initial report said final report June, by which time they'll all be being raced on again. Doesn't seem like good timing to me. Meanwhile the HISA have reported that in the US fatality rates nationally have dropped to less than 1/1000 (down 27% year on year) for the first time ever, and that's mostly on dirt tracks. The track by track and surface breakdown is due out next month.
  2. Shows as having 5 in training.
  3. Well, at least they talked to Sam. Nothing reported from Colin yet! A step up from Guerin's effort if you can call it that. In to $10 on the TAB I see.
  4. Why? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the bill unless the dogs are de-registered?
  5. But there are probably none imminent or forecast for the next 3 years, and probably the opposite after that as far as I can see.
  6. "New Zealand racing has enjoyed enormous growth since Entain took over the TAB business" I wonder where Guerin thinks that has occurred? Yearling sale prices? Foal crops? Number of starters? Number of codes still racing? Competition for punters? Programming? Pattern race status? I wonder where you get whatever he is on?
  7. Are they running or being run?
  8. I'm no sectionals guru. For me the important one is from the gates to the line. The fastest of those usually wins. However, I'd have thought 23.86 was pretty quick for a first 400 there. The R75 1400 was 24.7 and the open 1200 24.09?
  9. I note that Guerin didn't bother to add any comments from the owner or trainer!
  10. I think that they are rumours might be the rumour here
  11. You don't think 1.21.7 on the bridle is a pretty good sectional for 1400 round Ascot Park??
  12. And yes, I'm big on whips as a training aid. Always carry one myself.
  13. Sounds like we'll find out on March 8th if it worked.
  14. Seriously? Not sure I'd want to be there if there are 10,000.
  15. Quick update. I have it on good authority that both the RIB and SPCA are actively involved and reportedly the horses have been removed from the property.
  16. It's not really comparable. That's my rating based on performance. The official ratings are in accord with guidelines about how many points they get for a win etc.
  17. Yep 90s I'd say. Can't easily convert exactly.
  18. Open class level but still shy of AL/Sav/CBL
  19. I made that comment based on my ratings not the official ones. AL, Sav and CBL aren't in the field.
  20. Yeahh trial was tidy enough. https://racing.hkjc.com/racing/video/play.asp?type=brts&date=20250215&rc=hv&no=04&lang=eng
  21. So far, it looks like about an R75. Hopefully, one of the remaining slots will give it a buzz.
  22. Don't want to jump the gun here pending verification but is this what we are paying our 1% of stakes for?
  23. This was recently posted if there's anyone in Tauranga area that can help. NZTR's welfare system at its best and seemingly culpable licence holders. https://www.facebook.com/vadasangelsanimalrescue
