Trojan Posted December 6, 2024 Author Share Posted December 6, 2024 Wow! How brave are the Stewards?! They upgrade to a G4!!! Joe Doyle reckons the track is "firey" and Gryllsie said it is a G3! Of I forgot the policy is to only upgrade 1 rating at a time!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trojan Posted December 6, 2024 Author Share Posted December 6, 2024 WTF are the race win times? Not on the TAB site and seems NZTR are only posting videos and no results. Perhaps they are having committee meetings to decide the race win times? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trojan Posted December 7, 2024 Author Share Posted December 7, 2024 Uh?! Ellerslie has the result and time for R1 on the NZTR website but Trentham nothing yet for the first two races! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trojan Posted December 7, 2024 Author Share Posted December 7, 2024 Trentham 3 races now and no times. Ellerslie 2 races and times and last 600m. Oatham is the stipe at Trentham. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trojan Posted December 7, 2024 Author Share Posted December 7, 2024 RIght - Trentham now a G3! Result for race 4 is on NZTR - no time! But not results for the first 3 races! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trojan Posted December 7, 2024 Author Share Posted December 7, 2024 From the Stewards Report: Due to equipment issues, no Photo Finish or Official Timing was available for Races 1 and 3, with the inside Photo Finish camera only being operational for Race 2. So if they had no times for the first three races then they were relying on Jockey feed back for the track ratings? Lucky there wasn't any close finishes as well. From my observation of some horse actions there will be some sore ponies today. Soft 5 was complete BS. Very very amateur all round on a Grp 1 day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trojan Posted December 7, 2024 Author Share Posted December 7, 2024 Just read more of the report the first upgrade from S5 to G4 was retrospective to race 1. That is they ran the first race, which was untimed and then decided it was a G4. Did Oatham or Goodwin walk the track when the got to the course presumably prior to race 1? When did they test the timing and Photo Finish equipment which are both linked? I notice no one reported back to the Trackside Studio. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray Fish Posted December 7, 2024 Share Posted December 7, 2024 i had a busy day so was in and out trying to watch, and early on thought, I wonder what times they were going, when to have a quick look but (now I know why) couldn't find any...

Wingman Posted December 7, 2024 Share Posted December 7, 2024 Platinum Attack was in another class in the last and ran an astonishing time of 1.06.84. Trentham has their carnival earlier now to accommodate Karaka meeting so 4,11 and 18 Jan but what were the Muppets at NZTR thinking in also having later this month, meetings at Trentham on 15 and 21 Dec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a horse slips or when a Jockey says their horse felt like it would slip. Then the Stewards are all over it!! Well here are some questions for the RIB - the S5 was BS - was a penetrometer reading taking at 6:30am? Were any horses galloped on the course prior to the meeting starting which is in the NZTR protocol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trojan Posted December 7, 2024 Author Share Posted December 7, 2024 This is what Ballarat produced yesterday: Penetrometer 5.46 Rainfall 2mm last 24 hours, 32mm last 7 days Last Update Inspection 6AM 7/12; Chance of showers throughout the morning Race 1 Good 4 Race 7 Good 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
