Why not? The connections can file an information with the JCA (on a raceday) can't they? The whip rule is clear. Surely there are grounds for a protest if a horse is narrowly beaten by one where there has been excessive use. What rule prevents it? 3) A Rider shall not: (a) use a whip other than a padded whip of a type, make or model specifically approved by NZTR, in a Race or trial (including a jump-out or test for certification purposes) or trackwork; (b) strike a horse with a whip in a manner or to an extent which is: [Amended 1 May 2015] (i) unnecessary (ii) or excessive (iii) or improper; (c) strike a horse forward of its shoulder; and/or (d) during a Race or trial (including a jump-out or test for certification purposes), use or carry more than one padded whip.

Yes. That's the way to do it and the stipes won't do it. The connections need to.

Like Ms Peintour in the Del Mar Oaks in a moment. Surprisingly $61 NZ Tab.

Ran 1.17.4 actually. 9.7 seconds the last 200, if you believe their clock, but never managed to win a Group 1 (from memory). But yes, I think she could actually, even though she's not a 1400m horse. Remember Longchamp is downhill.

I think I saw her telling Hughie that yesterday. "You've gone too soon Hughie. Now we're wasting energy covering all this extra ground. Let's just wait for the 200 when I can see the winning post and we'll go from there. Won't be a problem."

The planes fly both ways RM

And I'm sure Waller knows that

She ran her final 600m in 32.33 seconds

Thommo will dismiss that because it was in the fast lane. Add .5 seconds? Or have you already got that allowed for in your back in class programme?

Won like an even money shot!

And one of the 4 with no claim on a heavy 11. What on earth is going on?

How stupid can you get, administering an alkalinising agent within 24 hours of a race. Of course they get away with it here.

Yeahhh...Thommo will be in raptures getting some high class black type form to work off. Any maideners in it?

Oh I see. So the announcement about the announcement was cancelled. Presumably the guvmint will be launching a working group to investigate?

I just don't see how he can be so thick. Nobody agrees with him except maybe a bunch of other losing punters out there that haven't given this much thought.

Read that again Thommo, along with the previous bit from mardigras that I highlighted for you since you don't understand the actual numbers.

An announcement about an announcement maybe?

So, did anything happen at 11 a.m.?

You'll have to say a bit more. You've lost me. The question was about the evidence that German horses bleed less than those in the rest of the world. Please point us to the evidence.

OK, so yur blank again on the evidence front. No surprise.

No. It used to a while back but I think CS stuffed it when he was still there and it hasn't been resurrected.

That's weird. It's now working The site page update without refreshing as I have been having to do.

Thanks. That's helpful. I'll check.

Is there some reason why this is no longer happening ...something on my end?

They'll be the same statistics that show that horses with blinkers on first time generate a greater ROI than those without, or similarly those dropping back from black type races. That is, there are none. It's another hunch being fraudulently promoted by the resident fraudster.
