looks like it boils down to ‘justification’ Baz , if you ‘dont have to why ‘ ...it’s the basis of these new rules covering Animal rights, going by this decision it would be in the Jocks best interests to keep their eyes on the winning post -
How is excessive whip use a lesser penalty ($300) than normal whip use on a horse winning($500)? -
Isdale got fined $300 for Excessive use and Veenendal was warned and they both started using it around the 400 ,and I can’t blame them in their respective circumstances.... at what point does a warning become $300 ? Surely these points should be covered in the rules ( including fines for 2nd and third offences)otherwise it’s left to the discretion of the Stewards, and using historical Enquiry decisions this is a very grey area indeed

I've never heard of this rule before which is what got my attention reading the stewards report. Certainly don't know of this rule being applied to any rider previously?

132 (6) (G) (H) covers it in OZ . If he's not had much strife before about the whip iam with others why not warn or educate the rider . He wasn't 20 lengths clear. If he was neck a neck inside the 100 he could have belted crap out the horse unlimited , but couple to keep him going in mud 500 bucks , I assume he's a young bloke , that's rough . -
How many others before Reece have received a $500 fine from the application of this rule? If the general nature of his ride was excessive I could understand but unless he has a history in this regard surely in THIS CASE a warning should suffice? Would be an interesting conversation on Trackside

This is unbelievable that charge was even laid,He did in my view what any rider would have done, The Industry needs a complete review of all things Racing, Stewards included. I will be watching as many races as i can to see if there is going to be consistent application applied to this rule. -
Majestic Man was crowned Otago Horse Of The Year on Saturday night following his breakout season in the open trotting ranks. The Phil Williamson-trained squaregaiter was crowned 4yr-old male trotter of the year before claiming the top prize at the Otago Harness Racing Awards at Forbury Park. Williamson took home a boot-load of trophies, including trainer of the year. Liberty Stride, (3yr-old trotting filly), Kenny's Dream (4yr-old trotting mare), and Jen Jaccka (aged trotting mare) each won their categories for the Oamaru trainer. Williamson stables drivers and fiances, Matthew Williamson and Charlotte Purvis, won driver of the year and junior driver of the year, respectively. Williamson was denied another win by his son, Brad, when Cracker Hill edged out Ultimate Stride in the 2yr-old trotting category. What a fantastic performance. A lot of traveling involved form their Oamaru base but they seem to be always involved from Canterbury to the deep south. Greg -

Just watched the two episodes and see Bernard still adamant that a joint venture is the way to go. The TAB is already in a JV with open bet / paddy power. There may be serious issues between RITA and NZTR on this matter. I would be interested to know how much involvement the Chair of RITA had in the discussions on this topic when he was a member of NZTR. -

Sorry Crow, I’m sure you mean well but it’s not a revenue issue to start with. When a business is leaking, the first area you look at is the COST v REVENUE. Clearly, the COSTS have blown out way beyond REVENUE growth. So, I’m surprised that the Board of NZ Racing hasn’t taken a chainsaw to costs. What’s Mr Saundrey achieved during his tenure? -

Its not that hard to see what has happened over the ditch thanks to messara and co YEARS AGO ,its not that hard to have guessed what was going to be in any report written by messara over a year ago.We have all been witnesses to the aussie success which makes the failure at the top of nz racing all the more obvious.Why is it that the monkey see monkey do business plan wasnt taught to the monkeys in charge of nz racing?its not paralysis its blinkus of the thinkus. -

You do have to smile about the state of NZ racing when you read that Aigne is planning on using the NZ Cup as a warm up to the Jericho. I suppose if it misses this year it could always use the Auckland Cup to try and get into next year's Jericho. -
