    Trentham Gold Cup

    Crazy system at present we are most likely to race our horse which likely to be On the ballot in its own grade out of its grade as it’s the only option to get a start. Maybe they need the odd rating 65 race that is limited to 2 wins max ?

  3. We're Doomed

    Trentham Gold Cup

    If you think it is bad in the NI try racing a 65 horse in the south. A couple of weeks ago they balloted and eliminated 12 horses from a rating 65 at Ashburton when they could easily have run an extra race. Pointless racing 65s for $10,000 if they refuse to split them to get horses through the grades. Then at Riccarton last week we had the crazy situation of 5 and 7 horses racing in two $35,000 open races and heaps being balloted from 65 grades. A major problem is the allocation of stakes money. Those same 5 and 7 horses at Riccarton would have raced for $30,000. All of the other non maiden races could have $2,500 taken off them as well and that would have provided enough money to run a $20,000 2yo race. I would like to know what half-wit thought it was a good idea for 65s to run for $22,500 rather than $20,000. That money could have been put to much better use. It all comes back to the industry being run by outsiders with absolutely no feel for racing and an inability to get the basics right. And my god, most of the programmes are so boring. With all of the 3yos winning maidens at the moment perhaps Riccarton could have put on a 3yo 1,200m rather than wasting $35,000 for 5 open milers. Give then something to aspire to. But oh no, we didn't used to do that in the 70s, no need to change things so dramatically now.

    One big problem we have compared to Australia is no respect for iconic names. The Challenge Stakes used to be a major race, I remember Grey Way racing in it, against a young filly I think. Every weekend we see races with iconic names all over Australia, even at minor meetings, whereas in NZ we don't bother.

    There is pretty much no relationship between the NZ rating system and that in Hong Kong. Chalk and cheese. The HK rating system is designed to make racing competitive, entertaining and attractive to punters. The kiwi one is designed for the opposite. I'm not sure that Bruce Sherwin had much influence on the rating system here. It was designed by Greg Carpenter under significant influence I suspect from the big breeders primarily and is totally useless, I agree. Just have a look at the first race in HK tomorrow. Shock horror. There's a weight spread of 9kgs.

  8. I found a few more of his dribbling .... One word sums up probably the responsibility of any deputy prime minister, and that one word is 'to be prepared.' I love Auckland, I practically grew up in Hamilton. It's wonderful to be here in the great Province of Invercargill. I was recently on a tour of Latin America, and the only regret I have was that I didn't study Latin harder in school so I could converse with those people. We have a firm commitment to NATO, we are a part of NATO. We have a firm commitment to Europe. We are a part of Europe. The global importance of the Middle East is that it keeps the Far East and the Near East from encroaching on each other. We're going to have the best-educated Kiwi people in the world. I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy - but that could change. We are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not occur. The future will be better tomorrow, especially for the Racing Industry.

    Blue, they have earnt it, that’s the trouble. As army says, they keep dropping back multiple winners thus cluttering up everything. Now Bruce Sherwin is a very intelligent guy, very experienced in all facets of thoughbred racing, especially Hong Kong and Macau. Come in Big Dog.

  10. To his credit, Whisky Winn did come up with one quote a few years ago that truly reflected his character..... "Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have quickly learnt that it bears a very close resemblance to the first - I can screw who I like when I like and all on a tax payer funded first class gravy train. Giddy Up"

    I think it is not so much moving horses through the grades but not letting them to drop back down a grade. How can you have a horse that is won 8 races in a rating 65 grade. A rating 65 grade cant drop back to madiens so then why do the other grades let the horse drop back. Rating 65 gets drops backs and madiens going up so of course it is top heavy. Once you leave a grade then you should not be able to go back. The 75 85 and opens are often light in numbers so there isnt much of a chance for a horse constintley missing out on a start

    The idiots need to move some horses through the grades. It wont effect those horses chances as they will still racing against each other! Or have I got it wrong

  13. I see no problem in both mining company or Sir Patrick Hogan supporting their chosen Party... that is what i consider a Freedom in all honesty its secondary to the choice we have to cast our vote. And as i said before... to restrict a person to show their support... and then to fine them is oppressive. afterall.... advertising can come under all manner of forms. whether its a Publication, public speaking,facebook, twitter or writing on your fence.. everyone has a right to carry that freedom out without being penalised

    Training costs AU

    no change from $120 Puha......most of the 'top' charge about 130-150. However, and it's a huge however, running costs can be much cheaper than NZ.......raceday is a no brainer, if your horse is up to city class, the starters incentive can be 2K paid back to 10th...plus an incentive fee of 200 bucks, so, you will end up in front even if down the track......in NZ we were slugged close to 700 bucks just to trial ,[Otaki to Waverley] after the floating and ancillary costs.....our friends here kacked themselves laughing when we showed them.......that sort of thing will eventually kill of the owner over there.....instead of incentivising they are being spurned.......anyway I'm wasting electricity as it falls on deaf ears....John Messara will address it no doubt, as should the absolutely useless trainers association who have been silent for so long and now are squealing like a trapped mouse....
