Thank you for that Pam.  I often think it be a great idea if someone in authority was to keep an eye on comments on places like this and come on occasionally to clarify situations which might often have a simple explanation.

Yes, absolutely.

In the very early days of Channel X [ Dave and Ange ] there was a Q & A session, once a week/month, not sure as I wasn't around.  But someone from NZTR would answer genuine queries and I think it was a really good option.

Probably keeping it courteous might have been a problem, otherwise there would have been no reason for the section to be removed.

It went to the jumpouts and couldn't even get a barrier certificate there.

My understanding is (as in CW's comments above), that was because she was ridden at the jump outs by a stable track work rider and it was ruled she had to be ridden by a licensed jockey in order to receive a barrier certificate.

Interesting though that there is no mention in the Stipes report for the offending races.  

That's from 32 starts with never even a warning from the stipes about her barrier manners?

Yes but that seems to be an administrative issue not a reflection on the horses behaviour.  If you can point me to the official report online that says she was nailed for her barrier manners in her last start I'd be grateful.

Then that is his mistake again or his trainers.

No, apparently they all worked on her and she refused flatly.

Once everyone had given up and decision made she went in on her own!

I think Donovan was on at some stage.

I don't think trackwork riders can ride at jumpouts?  have to be licensed.

For example my lad could ride if needed, as he is a ticketed amateur jockey.

EARS BACK (K Hercock) - Declared a late scratching at 4:11pm after refusing to load. Connections were advised that
EARS BACK is required to barrier trial to the satisfaction of a Stipendiary Steward prior to racing next.

Ok so there was a race after the last one on its profile at NZTR but it isn't listed because it didn't start.  

Sorry I'm with @Freda on this one.

I'd say there will be some anxious connections at the trials tomorrow.

Have you race 90 or is it 90 seconds?

Not sure quite what you mean but I think it's 90secs to load, races or trials.

Is that a jump out rule specific to Riccarton?
