In early as going away for the weekend . Wanganui Race 3 Lantern Way Morphetville Race 3 Air assault Thanks guys .

I agree with all that but the interesting thing for me around the camber argument is that the race where the horse slipped , the winner came wider and was travelling faster than the horse that slipped on its inside yet had no issues , surely if it is purely a camber issue then the horse should have had issues as well . Personally from all I've read I think this is mostly about the grass and structure underneath that seeding instead of laying has caused , hence not enabling the horses to get a grip as a hoof hits the track .

That's my point , why keep foisting them on people , when clearly whilst the grass tracks are still in reasonable shape that's what trainers and owners want .

Got bored long before the end so didn't hear that . I agree , would love to hear him answer some hard hitting questions from Industry participants , Sharrock can be in the seat next to him as well .

Well if common sense had been in practice they would have said they were moving the meeting yesterday , whole heartedly self interest was at play . The most interesting aspect of this is the complete invisibility of one B Sharrock , I'm sure he is still the head of NZTR , he is isn't he ?

That was my first thought when I heard it , just send them out and hope like hell they all come back . I wonder if the jockeys would have just gone NAH! Or trainers not being prepared to risk their horses or even getting a race .

Haha , they talk shite , on weigh in this morning Guerin quoted PW as saying that they would definitely , DEFINITELY , be racing at Ellerslie on the 25th , as they needed to know what they were doing was working , almost emphatic that they would be racing there . Barely 6hrs later the backflip . Seriously who's writing their scripts because the audience is bored with the stale bullshit .

Trials at Awapuni on the synthetic have been canned because of a lack of entries , ( read lack of interest ) , and the trials on the Cambridge synthetic , replacing the TE Awamutu trials , have 11 fields made up of 90% Cambridge horses , go figure . What about the rest of the northern industry , oh that's right they can wait another week , just put it on the owners bill . They have had trials at Foxton the last two weeks with plenty of horses , what made them think there was an appetite for trials on a synthetic track this week ? When are they going to stop and ask themselves the question " why does only a small percentage of the racing fraternity use the synthetics?" and then " why don't we start giving the participants what they want ?" It's a defunct question because they will continue pressing them onto unwilling trainers and owners and not working with or for the industry .

As good as any method .

Exactly , any prize is a bonus . stick with the amateur status so to speak .

Didn't even use a wet ticket . The circle of people that have a racing profile in NZ is getting smaller and smaller , PW is seems has all but joined Weigh In team he's on there that often .

Already sent one of their jumpers to Aus , Fierce Flight ? raced last Sunday in a jumps race .

To be fair they have raced on it the 2 last weeks , one of them after the 230mls , the track looked threadbare . And visibility more the issue I think . Ellerslie is actually supposed to handle 40mls on the day .

A gold medal move .

Haha , we couldn't last week tho , I was McGinty's fractured leg this time .
