  1. Yeah Foxton looked amazing at the recent trials
  2. Kate is ok and has been discharged from hospital battered and bruised but is ok
  3. The problem is THEY DO !!! NZTR has no say in the preparation of the track The responsibility is solely with the club - and again they got it wrong
  4. And the other horses trying to qualify in the rating 75 2200 today now miss out - the Stella Artois series is toast for anyone trying to qualify today - the race is only 2 weeks away
  5. Non Raceday Inquiry - Written decision dated 28 August 2022 - Callum Jones - RIB (racingintegrityboard.org.nz)
  6. Has the font in the form section improved this week ? Last week it honestly looked all fuzzy and we had a new glasses script It all merged together and very hard to follow
  7. Aidan Rodley said it like it was on trackside - if the trackside crew were in the room with masks on how was it any different than interviewing a jockey after the race or the now groups of 200!!! allowed in a room anywhere else on course with no masks etc Excluding trackside didn’t make sense and like all said added to the theatre
  8. Incorrect I believe Mark has remained until the end of carnival
  9. It was well off - you only needed to see those that dared to go there - stopped like they had been shot - Walking the track and it’s all chipped up and much much wetter
  10. Surprised no post on how the Trentham track has been playing - Race Images reaching for the wide angle lense to capture winners on the outside fence Wgtn cup be run over 3500 metres at that rate
  11. Pretty sad post when divvies are your biggest complaint when someone has lost their horse - and the jockey was also dealing with the aftermath of that From Stipes report MACKENZIE LAD (D Montes de Oca) - There was a delay to the All-clear following the race due to the rider taking some time to return to weigh in.
  12. Our accurate distance More so Found that today they found the race was 11 metres Race 8 JR & N BERKETT TELEGRAPH (G1) 1200 Stewards inquired into the time of this race. It was found that the barriers had been positioned approximately 11 metres forward of the 1200 metre start at the 3200 metre start, which was not clearly marked. Stewards reminded Starter G Philips of his obligation with regard to ensuring that the barriers are positioned at the correct start point for each race

  17. More so Leggy that today they found the race was 11 metres too short Race 8 JR & N BERKETT TELEGRAPH (G1) 1200 Stewards inquired into the time of this race.

  18. Hi Super Sleuths - where was this photo taken and what can you tell me about Ngatoa?
  19. Define a good licensee ? You surely can’t call Jason that ? What employer would retain an employee for drug positives - threatening to kill and wilful damage - would be instant dismissive in most workplaces ? You can only help someone who wants to be helped
  20. See the net was cast in the South Island again today - catching a couple A number of riders underwent drug and alcohol testing with J Laking being stood down from his riding engagements after returning a non-negative result. C Campbell was also stood down following Race 6 after returning a nonnegative result. Replacement riders are as detailed in the Summary. Question as to how Corey Campbell was not picked up until Race 6 - riding in races 1, 2, 5 and 6??
  21. Thats actually not that funny - if there had been an accident what would have been said then. There are rules for a reason - many high risk industries have a zero tolerance for alcohol, and a 24 hour clear rule - expecting a jockey to present at the races with a limit below 100 at 12pm raceday is not unreasonable - the rules clearly state it. Many standard workplace drug and alcohol policies enforce six unannounced random tests to an employee who has undergone drug or alcohol rehabilitation.
  22. Would it not be expected that drug and alcohol testing would be conducted prior to the first race of the day? Chris Johnson stood down today after failing a breath alcohol screening test after having ridden in Race 1?
  23. I suggest you just stay home maskless and out of my way I need to earn a living from racing and you obviously don’t not feeding the trolls anymore
  24. And NZTR can make their own health and safety measures on top of legislation to allow racing to continue I would suggest unless you have that exemption from a doctor and presented to stipendary stewards you will not be allowed on course At the end of the day we are trying to maintain racing so that we can be working and earning -
  25. The announcement of a level 3 lockdown for Auckland for 3 days with Auckland travel restrictions would have to put the Ruakaka races in serious doubt For Saturday
