  3. Just in case the thickos haven’t got the message yet…..
  4. NZTR Statement on Animal Welfare Charges New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing (NZTR) acknowledges the decision today of the Racing Integrity Board’s (RIB’s) Adjudicative Committee regarding Mr John Malcolm and fully supports the decisive action taken against anyone who mistreats animals. NZTR does not tolerate any behaviour whatsoever that compromises animal welfare. At an early stage of the RIB’s investigation last year, both Mr John Malcolm and Mrs Rachel Malcolm’s licences were immediately suspended by NZTR, pending the outcome of the adjudicative process. In today’s decision related to Mr John Malcolm, the penalty determined by the Adjudicative Committee for four serious racing offences and seven breaches of welfare standards is a lifetime disqualification from any involvement in the Thoroughbred industry. NZTR Chief Executive Matt Ballesty confirmed support for the decision. “NZTR fully supports this outcome and remains committed to upholding the highest standards of care and treatment for Thoroughbred horses. We have zero tolerance towards any actions that compromise their wellbeing.” “The decision regarding Mr John Malcolm sends a clear message that animal welfare is paramount in our industry, and we fully support the outcome.” NZTR will continue to enforce strict standards to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all horses within the industry.

  6. Today
  7. Geez some people complain about one stable but their fees pale in comparison to this FRAC Club. They whip out 10% of the net stakes AFTER Trainer and Jockey percentages so that leaves 74% of the stake for the FRAC and majority shareholders. Then they take 10% of the sale price at the end of racing AND if applicable a breeding right. The trainer doesn't seem to get anything from the sale. The FRAC club only owns 40% of the horse and if you multiply the 2,250 x $260 =$463,000 for 2 years (or less). Wow I'd say the 60% owners are getting a free ride!

  9. My money so I can spend it as I see fit.
  10. Gone-ski. Transferred to Te Awamutu.
  11. The Frac 1 syndicate won with Zormella at Te Aroha last week, and given the massive betting plunge, I'm guessing the 5000 owners jumped on.
  12. I saw Norfolk Islands on the list. 29% tariffs. Head punch, upper cut, there you go Norfolk Islands, take that you little fucka. That's what you get for trying to rip off the mighty United States of America. "USA, USA, USA, USA USA... "
  13. Perhaps they can race right-handed
  14. J see some took it up, other mares were on gavelhouse recently
  15. Cut out the middle man. Go straight to a trainer. Most will accommodate you even if you only have a limited budget.
  16. It's pouring down on the Kaimai Ranges right now ....
  17. To each his own. Some will see it as fun while others are getting royally fracked.
  18. Leaders in the United States and Canada have indicated they will honor the existing United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement for some goods, including Thoroughbreds. Horses will continue to cross the U.S.-Canada border duty-free.View the full article

  20. I actually couldn't care less. As I said, just a bit of fun.

  22. Well Frac club would get say $900,000 then the manager gets 10% of that cause they’ve worked so hard $90,000. So you might get $360? I get the idea but I don’t get how it’s a thrill when you could just back the horse each start and actually make money. If you look around there is value options in ownership that can leave you with the potential to get a return and actually get a ticket to the races.
  23. Grand National should be an interesting race Stodge. I’m going to go against the faves too with a multi around these beauties….. SENIOR CHIEF, IROKO, STUMPTON, HEWICK, THREE CARD BRAG, MINELLA COCOONER.
  24. But there can be a time when they have to say it's a no goer, we will just have to wait and see.
  25. So, let's say the filly becomes a rising star and is sold for, say, $2m. How much would you receive?
  26. That's exactly what it is - a chance to see a horse you (partly) own in action for minimal cost. Am I reading correctly that they own only 45% of the horse? Not having full ownership doesn't make it as fun.
  27. I've got a micro share in a Hello Youmzain filly with the Freedmans. $280 all up. Just a bit of fun as far as I'm concerned.
