you reckon it was the weight or it just wasn't good enough?

he certainly meets that definition!

Exactly, except most of the benefits are for the breeding industry, not the racing one which the Minister is responsible for.

Tough question. Who would he say? Has any Minister done more damage, or is that what you meant? If you want WP to be the answer, maybe ask Mr. Vela which Minister for Racing has done more for big commercial breeders and sales companies?

OK. Thanks. I wouldn't have been back on there till the next day, after placing bets that morning. So the bonuses would have disappeared............?

Me too the other day. Backed two after clicking on the ad link. Both lost. Neither ran last. Nothing. Can't be bothered.

Yes. After 30 years the NH still sits with one rugby world cup win which they dubiously pinched from Oz in overtime with a penalty.

I think fitness will favour the boks as well. Whatever, it's all on!

It's a world cup final after all and I reckon SAf were our toughest opposition. We will see but I wouldn't want to have "bought" that money at the moment!

What say you now master?

I'm not quite clear what data you expect to get from the OIA request that is not already public information? For example, NZTR who may have relevant data on thoroughbreds is not subject to the OIA. Would you elaborate on what you are trying to find out more exactly? Thanks.

Given that the gutless NZTAB are facing rapidly eroding turnover and revenue and that she is likely to attract interest from kiwi punters, why would they have her at 3.60 when almost all other bookies are 3.8/4.00? Trying to balance the book instead of back their assessment?

Could make good viewing. Will it be live streamed?

How on earth do you think that is going to help any of us or the racing industry?

No worries TN. There's been a bit of other stuff written about this over the last year or so. It seems a bit unclear really what the level of off label usage might be and indeed what the effects of that there are, if any. Definitely a worry though. https://www.paulickreport.com/news/ray-s-paddock/bisphosphonates-what-we-know-about-off-label-use-and-what-one-drug-company-is-doing-about-it/
