    henry30 reacted to nomates in Michael McNab - Good day or bad day?   
    As i said supposition , big money up along with the G1 status and all the ramifications that go with that and all horses should have a crack at winning it on their merits , she may well have still won but we will never know . There is nothing deceptive about the front on shots , Campionessa got 3 bumps , they may not all have been major but at the speed they are going they all have an impact .
    I would suggest if McNab had stopped riding her , as he should have , and straightened her properly each time she hung she would not have won because she would have lost so much momentum , but that is my supposition .

    Ok..can someone enlighten me as to how come apprentice Sam O'Malley copped a $750 fine and a 12 day holiday after a ride in race 7 at Otaki yesterday...changing ground at 1200 and hampering a horse who still went on to win......compared to Danielle Johnsons ride in race 2 at Ellerslie last week where she almost did a Hugh Bowman and got away with a warning.

    So Danielle Johnson forces her way through by pushing Mr Fox out of the way and costing him any chance and goes on to win. George and whoever in the commentary almost treating it as a joke !! Calls it competitive because she's the leading jockey! The word i would use is interference! ...and NO I didn't have a bet in the race so not sour grapes over a losing bet!

    Watched the race and saw the idiot on the track but did anyone else spot the stray golf ball almost hit the horses and riders on the first round. About 2min13sec into the race...could have been a bloody disaster.

    Today a young lady went to work to do what she loved. Sadly, and most cruelly, tonight she will not return home. A true reminder that no matter what might annoy or frustrate us in this industry that at the end of the day it is just horse racing and nothing else. RIP.

    Feel shattered as we may have our differences at times but when it comes down to it racing is after all  one extended  family .  All in it together, jockeys, trainers, owners ,  makes you think about times you may have got pissed off over a jockey's ride and how damn trivial that is compared with a absolute tragedy like this.

    Pure cosmetic gesture from the RIU. As far as I am concerned they operate a two tier system for Licence holders. If you are in the A Team they will move heaven and earth to protect you. If you are in the B Team they will throw you to the wolves.
