...and I take it you think it's ok, and good for the integrity of racing that they should have to do that to preserve their own and their horse's safety?
Based in Wellington?? - must be something big about to 'go down'
Trentham closing down for 3 years too - maybe Hutt Park trots and dogs are going to make a comeback 😇
Another $850 in stakes today - only slightly lower than its average stake earnings per race.
Subtract the trainer's cut, the jockey's cut, the riding fee, transport costs and I'm guessing not much left to cover the training costs.
The connections not familiar with that Einstein quote!?
Pak Star, your comments are appreciated.
I think the problem is that in 2024 statements are vetted by public relations consultants. When they are trying to explain intricate details the public relations people get tied up in their own bullshit which most people use them to peddle.
An organization"s credibility is inversely proportional to their spend on public relations.
That's actually a very insulting remark to make about jockeys and their ability to judge for themselves the condition of tracks , often we hear how horses have galloped on tracks the morning of race day or in Ellerslie's case recent trials were held to access the track , it's riders opinions from these events that are valued , I'm sure they don't go out blindly and just go hard to see who slips over first , they use their skills and judgement to control horses speed , if not comfortable they won't go hard , they are not crash test dummies they are skilled operators .
Well they're going to get a test on Saturday , rain over the next 3 days with some heavy , especially Saturday . This is the true test of a strathayr track , will be interesting to see how the surface handles the racing with rain on the day .
Obviously ,in the eyes of interviewers the best candidate. My own personnel opinion is the racing integrity in Queensland has improved immensely in the last decade.
