So back to the question. If I’m a trainer or jockey can I attend race days? If I ride track work can I be on a racecourse to do the job I love? Industry has invested in my training and development. If I choose not to be vaccinated is that investment flushed because I’m effectively blacklisted. and given racing is primarily an outdoor setting does that not make these career limiting Restrictions OTT?

Where does this announcement leave industry personnel who are unvaccinated? Won’t be on course by the look of it. Looking for a new job? https://www.racingnews.co.nz/nztr-covid-update/

Case in point, horses 15 & 20. Top 2 and top 3 FF divs nonsensical. Regular occurrence for those horses long in the market.

$3.250,000 best of luck to her owners, past and future.

Makes you wonder how much of the odds management is manual or system generated. Yes lots of delayed changes close to market close. The other thing that’s not yet sorted is the Top 2/3/4 market. For some reason the div to run 2nd is less than to run 3rd. ie $6 2nd ,$8 3rd, $5 4th

A stretch to believe this was a tech glitch. If the games started at 2am they had over an hour and a half to suspend betting. Moreover, if they (humans / systems or both) can’t respond to the market movement in the bet type (in-play) they shouldn’t offer the option. “You know the odds - now beat them” yeah nah.

Suggest you go to the website and read the Disclosure statement carefully. https://www.strideracingclub.co.nz/syndicate-rules-and-disclosure-statement/

A critical issue here appears to be the random testing selection process. Mr Taylor’s lawyer has asked for details of the process but I didn’t read anywhere that the lawyer was satisfied with the info provided. In my opinion TDDA run a reputable process for this sort of thing so something does look a bit odd. Perhaps he will appeal on the basis of one of the agencies involved (RIU or TDDA) has not following due process?

Dean, The TAB is currently marketing to ‘bring lost customers’ back to the organisation. The many that bet thru overseas agencies will do so for a myriad of reasons,, one of which will be restrictions placed on (or closing of?) their NZ TAB accounts. Can you please describe both the reason and criteria for placing restrictions on NZ customers. Seems to my eye that this aspect needs resolved if you want to win back many disaffected punters. Thanks Wayne

I predict Ms Adern will be impregnated and in labour by year end. A Contributor filly will win the NZ Oaks.

You folk are hard markers! IMO the site spuce up looks good and many of the niggles hv been tidied up. The one that was a constant issue was revisiting race detail / results post race and the resultant circle of doom. That has been fixed, at least on iPad and Android phone. Overall the speed is better too. I’d give it 8/10. Can’t comment on desktop experience.

Will full his pockets and then move on.

We are breeding from a mare who is a granddaughter of Smiling Like. S L is a full sister is Nimue. Just wondering if anyone in Cafe land would have an image/photo of either mare that would give us a sense of physical type / conformation. Either post here or private message me. Many thanks.

I recall that NZTRs bad debtors used to be published in their Thoroughbred Racing Monthly mag (now online). It appears that this no longer happens. Isn’t it time there was some public disclosure given the level of monies owed?

What abt that Fokerd fokker?
