I simply dont want a publication that is outdated that has missing the same up to date form-guides as BB, missing jockeys declared, no Thursday trackwork People forget; to see the NZ racing website Not everyone is computer literate. Can afford internet or online version of informant Has a smart phone I dont appreciate being called a personal insult of "fucking dick" because I dont want spamming from Matthew Francis, who sent this offer 3 times, and I replied politely no! On that note, I will sign off from this forum.

Spamming by Informant General Manager, Matthew Francis.

It was not a technical error. They purely forgot. Fact! And no updated form in the printed form-guides I got after I went back and complained. It is pure incompetence again from the NZRB. I appologize for the colourful language. I am fed up with NZRB and the TAB, as with most NZ punters and racing followers. I was shut out of the TAB website during Melbourne Cup day, then a few days later, I buy a BB and no TA fields for the following day. There was no NZRB Media Release for both. John Allen is too busy quoting "Just read: a brief history of capitalism by Yanis Varoufakis. It’s a short, simple, cogent criticism of market economics. Makes you think." on his twitter. and NZRB Media Manager Kate Gourdie does nothing! There would be uproar if this happened in other racing countries.

No wonder racing is f*cked!!! Best Bets havent got the Te Aroha fields for tomorrow!!! You pay $6 and you get home and no fields! WTF There is NO reason for them NOT to be included!! Its is fkn disgrace! Who will get fire over this?? No-one!! No-One is accountable. F**K YOU NZRB Plus. The horses that raced at Riccarton on Saturday, form hasnt been updated! Its a total disgrace!

Chocante rating on NZTR website was 104 on Tuesday. Why has it been taken down on NZTR website, a few hours later? Because, Strictland knows he's f.cked up!!! NZ and Australia rating systems is completely different. IF our NZTR handicapper is using the Austraian rating system for the same rating for our returned NZ horses, we are in serious trouble! Does explain alot, if he does. The system is f.cked.

It was 104, now changed to N/A, only a few hours after your posting Shane. But its too late Strictland, we've all seen it. Proves you have no idea of handicapping, you and Hall f.kd the ratings bands. Its complete incompetence!! I bet you have no idea what to give Chocante. You should be like Bill English. GONE!!

This shows us how little Kate Gourdie (and all excutives) at NZRB know, making comments on her twitter that Humidor is a kiwi raider?? Humidor been trained by Weir for a year. Not a kiwi raider!! As much a kiwi raider as He's Our Rokki! who had first 3 starts in NZ for Mark Forbes but trained in Australia for 2 years. Both Australian trained, not raiders!

IF Gingernuts goes to Melbourne for the $2m Emirates MacKinnon Stakes on 11th November who will ride the $6 favourite Te Akau Shark in the 2000 Guineas on the same day?

Hopefully Peters gets rid of the deadwood at the NZRB. Those up-dating their CV from the Racing Board Glenda Hughes John Allen Kate Richards Kate Gourdie Michelle Pickles Add names to the list........

What a joke these ratings are becoming. Gift of Power thrown at the ratings with 71 in a Rating75 at Taupo today. A winner of a TWO Stakes races from 5 starts, rated 71???? Won the Group Two Wakefield and only got 3 points, after winning the Listed Wellesley. You have got to be joking Strictland! You have no idea how to rate age (2 and 3) winners, open handicap, in fact every ratings band!

Gary Foskett. Ellerslie, Awapuni, Trentham, ....etc. ALL our tracks are fcked and he's the National Venue Inspector. It stops with him! Bernard, you have got rid of Hall, Moncur. Foskett (and Strictland) should be next! Get rid of the deadwood that is fcking NZ Racing.

Strictland must read race-cafe, because he's re-rated the HB Guineas now! Why wasnt it done on Sunday, like the other races? He had plenty of time, HB didnt do a full meeting. The HB Guineas re-ratings are still well under-rated - like he usually does for three-year-old Group races he does.

More examples of Strictland's incompetence. The re-ratings of Hastings was done on Sunday EXCEPT the G2 Hawkes Bay Guineas. WHY????????? The Group race for three-year-olds!!! The group that Strictland has no idea how to rate!! He didnt rerate race last year, like the 2000 Guineas, Derby, etc.... What do you have to say now rdytdy. As for the rest of the re-ratings, every winner got 5 points - that's not handicapping. Yearn deserved to get more than 5 points. That run was worth 7-8 points, therefor Lasting Friendship (2nd) that looked the winner deserved to get more than 1 point. Its no wonder horses ARE NOT going through the grades! As for Bullrush winning 5 races in Australia, and only being in the R85 grade, thankyou very much Strictland, the collect was lovely. This horse should have been in the open grade on what it had done!

There is a reason why the ratings are fkd especially open grade, and if the NZTR bosses haven't worked it out; we are real trouble because its going to get worse. The top horses dont go around in handicaps in NZ anymore, so all we are getting are the lower class horses in the open handicap grade. We wont have a open grade shortly is Strictland is still in charge! You would have thought the new boss would have worked it out by now!

Todays NZ Herald has tomorrows Mornington fields, that has no interest to the average NZ punter, but NO Moonee Valley fields tonight, that has two major NZ horses running. Whos responsible for this? Do the NZRB decide what fields are to be shown in NZ National paper? If so, Its no wonder NZ punters dont bet. Its disgraceful.
