Leading trainer or going to court? He is 1 win behind david hayes and 2 behind david hall, pretty good effort considering how long he has been there and the horse power he would have.

He will be leading trainer in HK in 2 years. Anyone heard rumour that he is taking his old boss to court? or is that just rumour ,we all know what racing like.

word was track was very firm and probably a hour or 2 away from showers on it and being called off..... Brave man the new caretaker leaving it like that with forecast. What would have happened to Awapuni if showers had come No way it was a dead 5 ,anyone who seen replays would have seen dust flying everywhere and jockeys reported it firm

wow what a read! The hiring of Hazel Shofer is typical of organization ran by Muppets without a care for the industry. What exactly is the job description and is that position adding value? The TAB CEO bringing air nz mates...Where have I heard that before didn't john allen do the same with NZ post? So we got a bunch of post workers and air nz staff making the TAB decisions no wonder its going so bad! Only hope is a merger with TAB corp Australia and getting rid of that paddy power deal Any know know if that's a possibility? If that was to happen things could turn around quick?

Can some one confirm what happened here ? was it protesters or not? There is a whacky bunch down there been causing trouble before

Its almost identical what happened here a few weeks ago. Not enough water put on the track early in the week,drying windy days middle of the week then irriagtion/rain end of the week which hasn't soaked in top few inches. As someone said soak it early in the week,when its end of the week and you putting 10mls on with rain in the forecast and track is hard then its already to late.There was a reason why horses slipped there Tuesday in trackwork because it was to hard with a few light showers on it. I wonder what the next NZTR report about this will say:)

what trainers broke the ban?

Problem was no one read a forecast and put enough water on despite rain in the forecast for the day... By all accounts track was hard after a windy 2 days in the manawatu. Track was a good 4 yesterday and with another windy drying night and morning track would have been a good 3 then you get light rain fall What else is going to happen?? I'm surprised jockeys even went out to test it

Miss Jools you need chill out abit.... Fair point with there horses and quality they should be wining trainers premiership by a margin. I think TA would be disappointed so far this season in terms of black type wins Scooby is right Jamie had a amazing ability to set a horse for a race and win it,not easy for mark is good as he is trying to follow on from Jamie

Have met Craig on a number of occasions when I used to live in Melbourne, great guy and definitely underrated Anyone know what is Group 1 tally is?

Heard that saying people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones? Didn't you almost get kicked out of Foxton track for coming on here and making unfounded accusations against the club just a few months back? Didn't you have a positive swab for cobalt then refused to pay the money back to NZTR after they made a mistake in paying out then you couldn't get you license back? I don't know the full situation with Gary Vile but seems very petty to detailing 2 incident's like you have on this forum.

wow what a joke,classic NZTR! How is a track allowed to get to a good 2 then irrigation put on day before? Commonsense you water 3 or 4 days out then leave it. Who is the caretaker?

great idea, Seems NZTR call off every meeting these days if there is rain about. I would say 90% of the meetings abandoned in the last 6 months would never have been called off a few years ago

that makes perfect sense what happened and been happening all winter. someone behind a desk who hasn't ridden a horse or probably walked a track advising on whether a meeting should go ahead or not

Would be great if the friday flash was still going!
