We are just lucky that NZTR got them all vaccinated so it was never going to be an issue for the industry...!

Well Colgan is on the injured list on NZTR website, McNab is still listed for his rides tomorrow.

Opie tested positive today.

Can someone explain how Opie rode in r2 on Lady Koval, surely you would produce a negative prior to r1,does not add up to me,

I do believe Ms Nicholas is and ok rider,but her ride on Row of Eights was worthy of a charge of not giving a horse every possible chance. M Williamson needs to be replaced or at least stood down for a period and yes I did have bet on Row Of Eights

Disturbing program on radio this morning how the disabled are being forgotten during the pandemic. From personal experience I know there is a severe cut down in health services. Yet the Government thinks the only disadvantaged are Maori which to many overseas observers they are the most privileged on earth. Millions spent on consultants etc to set up another duplicated bureaucratic entity yet little at the coal face.

Are you saying the three Jockeys stood down are disabled?

Therefore the holy water (P-fizzzer) isn't working.

I'm currently writing a book (titled CHAGS) about how I evaded covid, herpes, AIDS, gonorrhea and syphilis.

Full credit to Wiremu Pinn and those that have helped get him back in the saddle.  A natural horseman and I already rate him above Michael Walker.

I too noticed how he dismounted from the mare who is known as being cantankerous.  Didn't let her go and took her tongue tie off.  Good thinking.

I also like how well he spoke after the race saying his focus was on being a better person first and then a Jockey.

I also like his quip about it being a shame the Auckland Cup was no longer a Group 1.

You're missing out on a lot of fun trying to catch a few of those.

Chief,he didn't dismount, he got dropped when she whipped around.I watched her going to the start and she was a hand fill, so fill credit to him.

I can't understand why Harry has an issue with him,unless his behaviour has changed,as like you i thought he spoke very well and thanking the trainer who has and will continue to support him was well thought.

You'd know about being dropped but at least he got more than 50m from the birdcage!  😉

In my opinion he gracefully dismounted and had the gumption to hold onto the horse unlike some apprentices who panic and let go.

But that aside - it would be a bit churlish of Harry to have an issue unless he has short memory of his own early career!

Been. You should move your highchair closer to the TV or get someone to sit you on the bar. 😉

Is there a video?  He landed on his feet holding the reins.  They're still chasing your last ride!

[nod]

My last ride-this morning--I dismounted gracefully

It was very dark at the time

[curious]

Now Wiremu Pinn afflicted?

Very sad Tim. I took a look at the Waitangi Day thread, it's disgusting.

I thought this would have happened a week ago and affected the Derby meeting.  

This doesn't help either:
