Punting revenue?

I'd love one despite the lack of opportunities. That's the dream. Working on it on a number of fronts. The ultimate breeding and conditioning challenge. A Castletown or Kiwi.

No. Long time since I watched any tv news.

You watch 3 news?

Like me, they will probably be far more interested in Sunday's Champions' final against the Black Caps than the NZBKiwi.

We are all immigrants aren't we? Or, descendants of them. What do you mean?

Of course. As set down for WFA or Set Weight races.

I agree that there would be merit in making it set weights with no penalties.

Rehoming? Re-employment of participants?

As in WFA? So, no penalties?

I see this disappeared over there at the name calling place when it was revealed that it had been pinched from here.

Do you think it should be a handicap?

What price do you make him in there? Has to be odds on? Great opportunity to get that Golden Ticket for some serious money too now which he probably wouldn't manage in Oz.

NZB Kiwi Winner to Secure $10m Golden Eagle Ticket New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing (NZTR) and Racing New South Wales (Racing NSW) are thrilled to announce that the inaugural $3.5 million NZB Kiwi (1500m) slot race has officially become a ‘Golden Ticket’ race, granting the winner direct entry into Australia’s prestigious $10 million Golden Eagle (1500m) at Rosehill Gardens on 1 November 2025.

Where do you find that?

What? Ratings have nothing to do with weights for SW&P races. 7.5 Set Weight and Penalty and Set Weight 2YO and 3YO Races For all Non Group and Listed Set Weight and Penalty races, the weights will be 57.5kg for Colts and Geldings and 55.5kg for Fillies, with a 1kg penalty for winning two flat races, 2kg penalty three flat races and 3kg penalty for winning four or more flat races applied. Maidens are given a 1.5kg allowance. For all Non Group and Listed Set Weight races, the weights will be 57.5kg for Colts and Geldings and 55.5kg for Fillies The weights for all Set Weight mixed gender open Two-Year-Old and Three-Year-Old Group and Listed races will be 56.5kg for Colts and Geldings, and 54.5kg for Fillies

Standard SW&P WEIGHT SCALE Colts & Geldings – 57kg Fillies – 55kg, plus Penalties (in each case) as per the NZTR Standard Regulations for Racemeeting Programmes (No Allowances).

I did say most, and one of those left open, the mdn 1335, has 24 noms and will likely be split.

Yet Ellerslie also have noms left open for 5 races. So, that programming is also screwed. 5 noms for a $250k open sprint. Though most 20k races at Gore are overflowing.

Yes. That doesn't make sense either. And at least it should be a staying race, which would take a bit of speed out of it and be more relevant for an amateur flat race.

Are they used by the stipes to issue tickets?

Yeahh. No brainer. The kiwi is mostly a race for second stringer 3yos.

To have 2 days of jumps racing in the SI, when there is no other jumps racing and Riccarton itself, no longer even has schooling fences? https://loveracing.nz//OnHorseFiles/2025 Jumps Racing Calendar.pdf
