    Beats me. Why would you schedule synthetic trials when there's no synthetic racing for 2 1/2 months and plenty of perfectly good grass tracks about? OK for young ones that might need some gate practice but not much else.

    Meeting News Riccarton Synthetic Trials - Deleted The Riccarton Synthetic Trials that were scheduled to run tomorrow (Tues 13-02) have been deleted due to insufficient nominations.

    I thought the whole growing medium below the turf was supposed to be sand and mesh elements?

    I don't think there is any suggestion that bandages be banned for racing. I don't think there is any in the Netherlands. Only trotting. This initiative applies only to equestrian events.

    Agree with the rest of your post but numb nuts? Or horse health and safety visionaries? https://equusmagazine.com/news/dutch-national-federation-bans-bandages-in-competition/

    You've been watching too many 1980's Jane Fonda "no pain, no gain" work out videos.

    Note the final post in this old thread.

    Usually by treatment, rest and healing.

    Funny that they've phased it out because of catastrophic injury rates.

    As per the NZEVA doc posted above, bute actually went to 9.8 days recommended withdrawal time here, estimated 7 day detection time. Meloxicam by comparison 3 days detection, 4.2 possible withdrawal time.

    Questionable at best. Probably negative for bone injuries, neutral for soft tissue ones. Make every one feel better though including the horse.
  12. curious
    Only evidenced treatment value is probably pain management, not healing, and it may be counter effective to that.
  13. curious
    3 day detection time cf 7 for bute? No more effective. Overall, PBZ was more effective than MXM at reducing pain in the HBS model, while MXM was more effective at reducing pain in the SYN model at the oral doses used. Banse H, Cribb AE. Comparative efficacy of oral meloxicam and phenylbutazone in 2 experimental pain models in the horse. Can Vet J. 2017 Feb;58(2):157-167. PMID: 28216685; PMCID: PMC5234315.

    How do you know that? It wasn't publicly reported until she was retired but she must have been sore somewhere for her to be on bute surely. It's not generally used as a prophylactic.

    We don't know the levels yet but if they are marginal then maybe.

    It was also a pre-race test which if they were pushing the withdrawal time boundaries might have caught them out.

    Gross revenue is roughly 15% of turnover. Net about half that. Varies a bit year to year and quite a bit meeting to meeting. They should publish those figures. Harness do. TAB4ever may have them?

    The net wagering revenue from the Karaka meeying would have been about 750k. That leaves 3.8m that had to be made up for the stakes from sponsorship, sweepstake contributions and funding from NZTR which in itself comes substantially from sports betting, overseas racing and pokies. We are indire straits if that spreads through the rest of NZ racing's contribution as is tending to happen.

    This was not an added race. It was in the original programme.
  22. curious
    Not sure why that's a surprise with no 2yo races in the SI. Only one Pearl nominated horse so that's obviously not a big attraction.
  23. curious
    It might be usual but it doesn't strike me as "normal".
  24. curious
    Einstein's definition of insanity springs to mind.
  25. curious
    They had 5 noms for both races just before noms closed. Seems inequitable to run the 2yo and not even leave noms open for the open 1800. It was a 50k race that some may have aimed for at considerable expense. I wonder if they got on the phone to see if they could get a few more or would that be in the too hard basket?
