TIME FOR CHANGE Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 A question someone may know answer. When it comes to Trainers 10% winning stake are Te Akau the trainers who employ Jamie and pay him a salary or is Jamie the trainer receiving 10%. Quote
Freda Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 That's an interesting point....whatever the employment conditions are, Jamie still is the one holding the trainer's licence .. so he should be the one to be paid in the first instance - surely? Quote

Definitely. Them's the rules. Can't be paid to anyone else. Subject to Rule 505A, NZTR, on behalf of a Club, shall pay to a Trainer a sum of money, being (as set out in Rule 503(2)) 10% of the gross stakes (exclusive of trophies, prizes and the value of any awards or rights) Quote
Fred Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Obviously it depends on their own [private] arrangements. Quote
Reefton Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 That also raises the question of the misleading nature of the continual claims that 'Te Akau' has trained so many winners of a given race(often the 2000 Guineas) 'Te Akau' didn't train them - there were four different trainers involved weren't there(Walker, Bridgman, Autridge and Richards and now Richards alone). I guess it suits the advertising hype but it is blatantly incorrect. 2 1 Quote
Fred Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 You could add James and Waterhouse to the TA list -but as the owners pay Te Akau stables you could say they are Te Akau trained. Quote

Don't think James or G Waterhouse trained a 2000 Guineas winner for them. So if you are saying they were all Te Akau trained then how come the racebook doesn't just say 'Te Akau Matamata' Quote
mumbles Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 I'm presuming that the 3 Rogersons have separate barns for their team,so who trains who. Who takes the fall and who takes the glory ? 1 Quote
