    I was more thinking about reclaiming the sling!

    Oh. I just looked. He was and once when winning on my horse!
  3. curious
    OK. Was he ever suspended under the whip rules?
  4. curious
    I agree. Assuming the no strikes on the flank rule comes in in due course, it is only the last 200 that remains a significant problem. The jumps racing review identified a similar issue. "Even those who supported the continuation of jumps identified a concern about use of the whip during the races, especially at the end of the races after the last jump." So, I don't think that it's just Thomas and I that notice as has been suggested here.

    Correct. TITICACA (K Myers) - Rider dropped her whip near the 350 metres.

    1 September 2021 for the rules. Penalties were updated last year though. Yes. Rules are rules, if breaches are enforced. I don't recall CWJ having any major issues with the rules prior to that in recent years. Did he, as you inferred? I can 't recall him ever taking his hands off the reins on one of mine though it's hard to tell with a left-hander without looking at the head on.

    The current rules are the strictest we've had here, if still largely ineffective.
  8. curious
    Did he breach the current whip rules?

    Instant red card in any other sport for that kind of abuse. Shame he does it here when he knows he can get away with it for a slap on the hand.

    Well I noticed. NZTR won't have. They have the same head in the sand approach that got the greyhounds where they are now. 6 or 7 flagrant breaches. We need relegation for that. If the 99.9% is correct, then most of those who would notice don't watch or participate any longer.
  11. curious
    That was definitely not a good look.

    Also, what did you make of the 1200m times TAB? Also the so called crowd? The stand looked half empty even after the main races although there was a reasonable smattering of people down on the grass and in front of the old tote building. I haven't been to that meeting for 5 years now but it certainly looked sparse on tv compared to then even.

    Yeah. Nice win for Danny and Tina. Some of us tried to give the cup a crack but plans went awry! Programming issues and lack of decent lead up staying races don't help either. There's always next year though.
  14. curious
    So, is the TabNZ tote pool commingled with the HKJC one?
  15. curious
    I'd agree with that.
  16. curious
    Are you there SA? The place looks deserted on TV.
  17. curious
    Of course. You can no longer have a Group 1 handicap.
  18. curious
    Does this somehow stop overseas operators offering fixed odds?
  19. curious
    That might create some opportunities for those that can sort them out?
  20. curious
    Is that a new bookie?
  21. curious
    I can't find any markets in Oz either. Have I got the wrong day?
  22. curious
    Might not be yours, but could be mine.
  23. curious
    That's odd. I can't see it either.
  24. curious
    I think you should amend that response.
  25. curious
    They don't seem to me to too interested in fixing a number of problems. Some a lot more critical than that one.
