Dissident reacted to scooby3051 in Cambridge Level 3 now
So if these jockeys in Cambridge are now allowed to move across the border why are Leith Innes and Opie Bosson not allowed to do the same...or is it rules for some and rules for others????

Scooby can you run this one on one comp please

One single bet
One three legged multi ( straight multi, not any 4 etc…)
The last bet is Melbourne Cup day
Loser puts a grand over to Tim Vince on MC day

I'll add another $250 if Leo beats me. Seeing as Race Cafe gets nothing from our competition - I'll randomly pick an RC member who can use the $250 for a bet on the Saturday following M Cup Day.
Good Luck guys.Should be fun for everyone to follow and contribute along the way.

Dissident reacted to Tony in Welfare Contribution
I notice that NZTR continue to put GST on the 1% Welfare Contribution. The Welfare Contribution is neither a Goods or a Service and most owners would not be able to claim it back.
I know that the Owners Federation has brought this up with NZTR but to no avail.
Why NZTR just don't take the 1% out of the total stake to begin with like Australia do is beyond me. Instead they have gone for a very complicated and long winded approach that takes more money out of owners pockets. I guess that when the people setting up the system don't participate in Horse Ownership then they are not going to worry how much comes out.

Watching the News tonight one would think Wellington locals have never seen a Cold Southerly involving Large Swells 🙄
Those houses on the waterfront being evacuated is a Real Head Scratcher, i can remember plenty of other Storms far more intense than this 🤔

Dissident reacted to Tauhei Notts in Northern Dancer
Spare a thought today, Thursday, for it marks the sixtieth anniversary of the birth of Northern Dancer.
He was a May foal, he was too small to be much good, he was too small to be a classic horse, he was too small to make a stallion, he was by an unimportant sire; but he turned out okay.
From his second crop a big stretchy bay, rather unlike his sire, Nijinsky won his first eleven races, including the British triple crown, like Bahram did in 1935.
Very good sires rarely get more than one really good son to carry on their male line, but Northern Dancer had the likes of Sadler's Wells, Lyphard, Nureyev, The Minstrel, Vice Regent, Northern Taste, Storm Bird, Danzig and Try My Best amongst others.
From the perspective of history, the more Northern Dancer we find in a pedigree, the better. Genetically, he's as close as we've come in breeding to something that's all good.
So, on 27th May, take a moment and heave a sigh. Think of past glories and the little bay horse who could.
I note that in each of the past four group one races at Ellerslie, where they show an extended pedigree of each runner, that every contestant has some Northern Dancer blood in at least one part of their pedigree.
Thanks to Frank Mitchell for the above.

They did and nothing untoward found- rule out

Dissident got a reaction from Pam Robson in horse test postive to meth in nz
I hope they are also investigating the betting activity around the 2 horses. Surely if this was intentionally done by an outsider taking advantage of no security that would be the motive, placing a bet on a "sure thing". They wouldn't care if the horse tested positive later since the bet would have already paid out. A possibility to rule in or out?

Dissident got a reaction from Baz (NZ) in Great Vibe at Cambridge's Opening day on Synthetic track !
Exactly. Good horses traditionally get turned out to avoid breaking them on heavy 10s, and start getting brought back in about July. Only trouble is then half of them couldn't get a good enough surface to gallop on often enough in their prep to even make it to their target races, eg Spring Carnival in Oz. This opens up the options for prep and conditioning considerably amongst other benefits. It won't magically solve all the problems but it's a great start. Well done to CJC for a successful first race day.

No you suggested second class races with second class horses, I merely pointed out a lot of group 1 winners come out all weather races . . Some of the big players might get a run into a late two year old with promise so not all duffers , they wouldnt guts out a good one on a heavy 10 in May though . See how many the big guns race inexperienced slow to hand horses up North on the AW tracks making use of a good surface in Oct Nov Dec when in old days they would have missed out on the experience and been put away for winter then have to chase the 8 ball early in new season .It is the class of race not the surface .
I've been backing horses on all weather tracks for 30 plus years since Lingfield racecourse first meeting on a surface called equitrack , I am experienced in doing my cash in equal proportions whatever the surface , a slow horse is a slow horse whatever the track .
