    1.14 1200s. I'd say a forgiving Good4.

    Nothing for trials I don't think. They are self funding.

    No. They bought their own gates (8), and volunteers assembled them, partly funded by a Racing Safety Development Fund Grant. I was on the committee when that application was written.

    It's a disgrace from that perspective aside from the level of detail supplied (or not supplied) about the various tracks. Neither provides me with much confidence.

    Where did he say she wasn't?

    Oh and the typo is cut and pasted from the NZTR job ad. They don't have many that can proof read or use a spell checker there.

    Will be when they get a race date!

    The Central Districts Club Hub is a standalone not-for-profit that provides vital operational services to 11 thoroughbred racecourses in the lower North Island. The Hub owns shared raceday infrastructure and employs a number of staff who travel around the region on behalf of 16 well-stablished racing clubs.

    Targeted and won a couple of those back when 5k was well, 5k.

    Had a couple of goes but dropped my whip the first time and lost my balance leaving the gates the next. Got the sack.

    You've got to get them in the game before you worry about keeping them in it?

    revision of the Famis bonus scheme from the 90s? Never have contributed much to wagering revenue as far as I can see. Hardly any sort of new initiative.
  16. curious
    That was King George's fault wasn't it?
  17. curious
    How or where did I infer that?
  18. curious
    That's the problem. It's not. It's based on and adds to the precedent. It's insufficient, and can only be fixed by NZTR issuing revised penalty guidelines for these cases that are more in keeping with the damage they cause to participation, wagering and the public image of racing. I wonder how the hundreds of punters who backed Churchillian and lost their bet are feeling now.

    Of course and I haven't had a horse in work for 2 years, but I'm a licence holder and have a duty to stay up to date. Actually, I was alerted to updates almost a year ago by a post you made on here: https://bitofayarn.com/topic/94287-nzeva-prohibited-substance-recommended-withholding-times/

    Either way, that amounts to negligence imo. The information that Grierson supplied is available to all and it's implausible to me that experienced trainers and vets would not be aware of it.
  21. curious
    Well that's not what the NZVA guidlines say. They say after 12 iv doses, detection time is 3 days, so you'd have to take that up with Grierson if you think it's so far wrong.
  22. curious
    No. It's the established International Screening Limit (ISL). “The International Screening Limit (ISL) is the urine or plasma concentration adopted for the screening of a specified therapeutic prohibited substance; it is derived from administration studies followed by a risk analysis consisting of two components: a risk assessment (evaluation of the effect of the substance and factors related to its control) and a risk management (decision step for harmonisation).
  23. curious
    Yes, and the treating veterinarian should have passed on that advice when prescribing the medication though it's very surprising that trainers of their experience would not be aware of the necessary precautions. It is also strange that the case hasn't prompted Grierson and the NZEVA to add the detection time for oral and possibly transdermal flunixin to their recommended witholding times guide.
  24. curious
    Except this is supposedly not the treated horse and that applies to bedding contamination from excreted material, not rubbing noses or other transdermal transfer.
  25. curious
    No they didn't. That is for their May race days isn't it?
