Well he has struggled riding in NZ, only just started back riding after a suspension, 4 times charged for using whip above allowed height. Whatever you say, looked ordinary when jumping off. Maybe he needs some Velcro….
-
No doubt it moved out, horses are not machines. Question is, minimal movement, experienced jockey would have stayed on.
-
You on home leave again Tommy? Don’t post for weeks then appear on a Monday 😁🤣
-
Well, here is another jump off today at Wanganui. Horse was leading, moved out but come on, surely this happens far too often. What’s everyone’s views on this? IMG_9877.mov
-
Yes, unfortunate indeed. Although when I saw incident on TV, thought it may have been worse. Hope she recovers quickly
-
Haha…. After Slipper Island just won, clown interviewing Rory Hutchins asked if he noticed horse had improved since last start🤣🤣🤣, first ride on it. Oh dear, too many involved
-
Who is this Erin Leighton? Nothing against her but we have so many so called experts talking before race starts….why not hear more from trainers or owners, be far more interesting than a girl sitting on a horse telling us all the horses coats look good in the sun 🤭
-
Oh dear, what a terrible field today for the Wellington Cup. Must be the worst collection of mostly average hacks running around….. So many great previous winners that performed well or won the Melbourne Cup, Il Tempo, Simon De Montfort, Battle Heights, Good Lord, Koiro Trelay, Kiwi, Secured Deposit, Castletown, Second Coming….compare some of those horses to the nags running today. Maybe the time has come to race the cup over a shorter distance, may get a far better class horses running around….Australia must be laughing at that field.
-
So when the dog racing stops…. what is everyone employed in this industry going to do? Be interesting to hear thoughts of some…
-
Maybe Chief had a cow called Durban Chief that he bumped into…
-
I see Dexter is back in NZ…. Surprised that him arriving was not on social media or TV…. for what he has achieved around the world should have some sort of celebration… Or maybe he would rather slip in and out….
-
Haha…. That is funny -
Is he based in Nth Island? Not seen him drive down here, good to see him back in the game.
-
Michael Hay has recently started driving in the Nth Island. Is this John Hays son? If so, where has he been for many years, good to see him back in the harness game
-
Warnings are not good, surely even you can agree. We halt racing for so called dangerous tracks…. but see nothing wrong with dangerous riding. I’m not targeting Lily, others have a worse record
-
I never said she wasn’t a good rider, I said she is mentioned in the Stipes Reports more than should be. Rode Don Pedro at Trentham 3 wide the trip…. and received a warning on Chantilly Lace. She did well at Greymouth on some great rides…. also small fields so less to clip heels with
-
Come on, she had some great rides, Myers runners always go well on the coast. Shows how bad some of the other muppet riders are
-
But you have to agree, the majority of horses falling or jockeys falling off, are from inexperienced jockeys, same those clipping heels. Need more time at trials way before they turn up on Raceday, no doubt there will be far more falls in the coming days. If those in the industry can’t sort these issues, gallops will be next to go, why not if horses race around in fields not in control, or jockeys getting trampled. I have not seen any jockey or horse falling I Australia for a long time, not just metro tracks, but outback as well.
-
My attacks are not personal, I am really concerned about the training and quality of jockeys we have in NZ. It seems some just want to get the front then slam on the brakes, it’s bloody dangerous, but it seems that I am the only one on here that is concerned about the skill of some of our jockeys, trust me it’s getting worse.

I would have held on….

Now in the first race at Kurow….Balloo hops off as gates open 😂😂
-
Well Done Freda aka Pam - $20 FOB Winner in the first at Kurow!
Newmarket replied to Chief Stipe's topic in Galloping Chat
Yep, good one. Priced dropped quick so somebody got plenty 👍 -
Yep, outside horse did slip, so maybe I was wrong, but the inside horse??
-
I posted it before Boxing Day you muppet
