curious

The handler's voice could do that couldn't it? Would that be illegal?

Oh for Pete's sake.

They don't have a usable racecourse either.

That's total bs. Never saw a flooding problem there either.

Or god forbid, Foxton redeployed.

Stratford probably could have held the meeting.

There is a plan B and a policy for that but they've perhaps worked out that it's flawed because most winter gallopers won't want to race on the poly. 1. If a turf racetrack is determined by NZTR or a Stipendiary Steward to be unsuitable or unsafe, or is otherwise unavailable, for racing, NZTR may decide to transfer a racemeeting from that racetrack to a synthetic racetrack if, in its opinion, there are no other suitable turf racetracks in the relevant region to hold the racemeeting or it is not otherwise appropriate in the circumstances to transfer the meeting to a turf track

A Club must arrange for a track gallop on the course on the morning of the race meeting to reconfirm the declared track rating, unless this is not practical Why would a club bother if the rider's opinion is going to be ignored or over-ruled?

Entain NZ is running online casino operations which are funding NZ racing? I didn't think so.

Has to be TAB For Ever

Did Boay even exist when it was named?

No, but many can.

Not a harness fan but just watched a race there. Love it. You can actually see the whole field most of the time and where horses are and how they are traveling. Great stuff.

I haven't either but I don't understand the technology. I wonder if a no tv meeting was considered.

That's interesting. With 4 days till the close of noms they only have 2 jumps races available for nomination and no stakes declared for those.

Apparently only one available tv truck on the day.

And speaking of Hastings, it might be 10 years ago now but the chair at the time was Mick Ormond, a very successful Waipuk farmer I think. While frustrated with the club's financial situation and consequently the venue at the time, I don't recall that track having anything like its recent problems back then.

👍

I was a decade too early. Hooksy looks a lot younger than I thought he did in 2015. Is the Boay name something to do with a bodyguard?

Ah. Bit of help from the database genius on another channel. Might have been raced by a syndicate managed by one L. Molloy?

Second thoughts from the brand, maybe mid 2000s? And Chris didn't ride from 2000 - 2005 so has to be after that.

Has me flummoxed. It was a while ago. Late 90s early 2000s.

Where did you see that no replacement meeting was due to no jockeys CS? They've all got a day off otherwise tomorrow don't they?
