Are you and silly old sbazzo cut from the same loin cloth head?

Its the same as expecting IN A TWINKLING to get the Barrier Blanket on in the Derby...

...then observing the sacked Ellerslie Starter not following the Manual...

...which should have listed the BB horses...but couldn't be f'ed

'TA S First Time TT'.....should be just that...

Not 'First time...but really 4 th time because we can't be f'd asking any f'ers connected to the neddy"

Yea that bullshit

Could be any number of things chaps...

Why is Generation xyz less malleable than Boomers?

Perhaps they spend less time at Chef's best breakers...and don't get enough sackings around the flanks..

..then the cold steel hits a Filly's flank and she thinks the attendant wants a bit?

wtf knows...but IN A TWINKLING improved markedly when it went on..except in the Derby when the clown Starters forgot to put it on their Starters list...

...and he was slow out

Perhaps the Japs have more time at the Breakers...and/or they pad the shit out of their stalls?

Think it through Tommo

Wrap your tootsies in a bit of cold steel so you contact the ground, then put your bare bum [shock horror] against the metal gates -that tingle is not from the voltage in the whip you carry..

Given a few 'barrier rogues' I found they were all o k in our hand operated gates.

I conclude that some of the nags are more susceptible to a bit of electricity floating around.

ok think Ive got this...

So the Japs don't use them due to the high humidity being that dry air is more suitable to conduct static electricity 

And all those years where NZ Racing had no Barrier blankets...we were too humid...

..so we didn't need them..but with climate change the air is as dry as a nuns cabinet locker...being they don't drink?

is that right Fred

You are an idiot Thomaas.  All these extra requirements at the barriers have arisen through pandering to poorly prepared horses.

The Japanese doesn't allow barrier blankets nor barrier attendants up on the barriers during the start.  If a horse cannot behave without these then it cannot start.

Prince of Arran second in the Melbourne Cup requires a barrier blanket and was not given compensation to use one when they were keen to take the horse to race in Japan.

Japanese rules:

5. Starting Gate Loading Procedures
All JRA races use a Starting Gate System. The Starting Gate is a movable set of stalls with gates that open simultaneously at the start of the race. Prior to running in races conducted by the JRA, only horses which passed a gate test prior to the final declaration are able to run in the race.

During the gate test, the starter will check the necessary loading procedures for a minimum twice, and a horse needs to be approved by the starter as being capable of loading, standing still and leaving (jumping out of) the stalls. Trainers are required to inform the JRA after the preliminary nomination if the horse has any unruly or specific behavior at the start. However, no special loading request will be permitted apart from request to load the horse first for efficient loading.

Loading will take place under the direction of the starters. As a general rule, horses with odd numbers in the draw will be loaded first, followed by those with even numbers, and the horse with the highest number in the draw will be loaded last no matter whether the number is odd or even. This procedure is taken for the safety of horses and people concerned, for speedy and efficient loading to start the race.

However, horses with blindfolds or those horses with bad records at loading may be loaded first no matter whether the draw is odd or even. Should there be an unruly horse with the highest number, the starter may decide to load the horse with the second highest number draw last.

Cmon boys..have you got a coronavirus inhabiting a space?

The Japs can afford to cancel out problem horses...we can't...

Its that simple...

If you've got a problem with the non skill of Muzza's and Jammie's Breakers...

You send them an email with the Breaker of your dreams..

Barrier Blankets rule..ok?

Especially on IN A TWINKLING types who were tardy out previously...

Then in the Derby without...When the bloody minded Starter refused to read the Manual and adhere to a Starters card...
