    Patiti reacted to Leggy in Hastings Abandoned   
    I see that but I'm questioning whether or not that is realistic. Previous NZTR reports on the Hastings track have not been.

    Anyone got any updates on the track redevelopment at Awapuni? Have not seen anything online anywhere as to where they have got to with the work.

    Patiti reacted to Tauhei Notts in Waikato Cup   
    I noticed that the track was so good that open sprinters could go 1m 21.5secs for 1400 metres, but the Cup field couldn't beat 2m 30secs.  Our stayers do not seem to be as good as they once were.

    Patiti reacted to MissJools in Trentham Update   
    From NZTR: 
    NZTR UPDATE | Supplementary Starting Gates NZTR would like to provide an update on the use of the supplementary Clip-on starting gates, following the false start that occurred prior to the running of the Group 1 TAB Classic at RACE Trentham on Saturday 9 December. Whilst initial evidence provided to the Racing Integrity Board on raceday, as well as post-raceday, to NZTR suggests that all operational processes were followed correctly, with the starting mechanism on the extra gates being tested before the false start occurred, this only creates further concern regarding the reliability of these Clip-on gates. Consequently, a decision has been made to suspend the use of the supplementary gates immediately nationwide. Until NZTR is comfortable that there is not a significant reliability concern, the supplementary gates will not be utilised during meetings for the foreseeable future. Further to this in conjunction with the relevant Clubs, NZTR will immediately look at purchasing a permanent set of starting gates at three strategic venues that do not have adequate permanent gates, being Te Rapa Racecourse, RACE Awapuni and RACE Trentham. NZTR will continue to work alongside the relevant Starting Gate Consortiums which manage all operational activity to ensure that proper maintenance and testing is being regularly carried out to all gates, with the governing body continuing to explore further options to ensure reliability.

Race 4 at Otaki today Pip was babbling on hadn't even crossed to Tony and the field jumped and went 20 metres before she realised, not good enough. Then later when they crossed to her, she had a mouthful of food ?? .. real professional lols

    Patiti reacted to Tauhei Notts in Rotorua Cancellation   
    Last Sunday's Rotorua races were abandoned after four races had been run because of a slippery track.  NZTR published the track's rainfall figures.  Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday= no rain.
    Sunday 0.2mm of rain.  And that was sufficient to make the track slippery?
    Grab a ruler and see how long a millimetre is.  Then divide that length by five.  That is how much rain they got.  That amount of rain was enough to make the track dangerous.  Somebody is taking the piss.

    Patiti reacted to MrBigStuff in Positive changes   
    With the shambles over in West Auckland…meanwhile there are positive changes at the great club…
    Auckland Thoroughbred Racing (ATR) has announced that as a result of pattern and scheduling changes, there will be a number of adjustments to the ATR racing season. 
    These changes sit across the breadth of the season and encompass date, pattern, venue and name changes, with the modifications designed to create a more functional season of racing for all stakeholders. 
    The modifications are led by a number of changes to both the Christmas and Barfoot & Thompson Auckland Cup Week carnivals with a poignant moment forming part of the list of announcements. 
    With the passing of racing and breeding icon Sir Patrick Hogan last season, ATR has announced that in acknowledgement of the immense impact Sir Patrick had on the industry, the Club has selected a race to be renamed in his honour. The 3YO fillies 2050m race run on New Year’s Day at Pukekohe Park, once known as the Royal Stakes, is now to be known as the Sir Patrick Hogan Stakes in recognition of his significant contribution. 
    Further changes to the carnivals consist of: 
    The Dunstan Horse Feeds Stayers Championship Final, traditionally run on New Year’s Day, has been moved to 26 December (the Boxing Day Races) to better reflect the depth of New Zealand’s staying division. The new date will allow horses to run in both the Dunstan Horse Feeds Stayers Championship Final as well as the Queen Elizabeth II Cup (ex. City of Auckland Cup) six days later.  Further changes to the race scheduling on Boxing Day will see the Auckland Guineas form part of the Boxing Day Races with the distance reduced to 1400m and will act as an ideal leadup to the newly positioned Levin Classic at Trentham on Saturday, 13 January 2024. As a result, the Uncle Remus Stakes (previously run on Boxing Day) moves to Saturday, 17 February with the distance reduced to 1200m. This race will act as an ideal lead up to the recently promoted Mufhasa Stakes (1400m), now of Group 3 status, on Saturday, 2 March 2024.  The Barfoot & Thompson Auckland Cup Week carnival will see both the New Zealand Derby and Barfoot & Thompson Auckland Cup nomination date shift to Monday, 11 December 2023, a month later than the prior closing date. The new nomination date will enable trainers to be more selective about their nominations especially with respect to the New Zealand Derby.  The Barfoot & Thompson Auckland Cup is also moving to handicap conditions. ATR has changed the weight conditions from set weights and penalties to a handicap to provide a far bigger spread of weights and a more competitive contest as a result, which will consequently have a positive impact on wagering.  In addition to the adjustments to ATR’s major carnivals, Waikato Thoroughbred Racing (WTR) and ATR jointly recommended to the New Zealand Pattern Committee (NZPC) a change to the Autumn 2YO pattern which was subsequently approved and will see the following movement which reflects a far more logical spread of 2YO races: 
    Saturday, 20 April – 2YO 1200 – Listed, now to be run at Ellerslie Racecourse by ATR (Star Way)  Saturday, 4 May – 2YO 1400 – Listed, now to be run at Te Rapa Racecourse by WTR (Waikato Equine Veterinary Centre 2YO Stakes)  Saturday, 25 May – 2YO 1600 – Listed, to be run at Ellerslie Racecourse by ATR (Staphanos By Deep Impact Champagne Stakes)  ATR Executive General Manager – Racing & Operations, Craig Baker said that the Club is continuously evaluating their racing product to ensure it is fit for purpose. 
    “The changes to the upcoming season were done to ensure that ATR’s racing calendar remained relevant and reflected the current status of racing in New Zealand. 
    “ATR is committed to providing the best possible racing product and the changes announced today support this objective. 
    “Our thanks to the New Zealand Pattern Committee, Waikato Thoroughbred Racing, and David Smith and his team at Dunstan Horse Feeds for their help and support.” 
    The Club has also committed to further supporting those at the grassroots of the New Zealand racing industry by offering a $12 lunch voucher to the primary strapper of each runner at ATR racedays. 
    ATR plans to conduct 20 race meetings over the 2023/24 season from both Pukekohe Park and Ellerslie, with racing at Ellerslie set to return in 2024.

    Patiti reacted to Pak Star in The Everest field with barrier draws…..   
    I thought the boosted odds promo on IWIW when the book opened was a great win-win idea. 
    If the horse wins they are still in the green from winning the race.  
    If the horse loses they recover a decent chunk of their slot fee from all the losing boosted bets.
    And in the meantime, they get to market the hell out of the race and inflate their pools.

    Patiti reacted to Alicia Harrison in Cambridge start race8 last thursday   
    We were all asked if we were happy to remain on the gate and continue rolling and everyone said yes. So the starter is not at fault. 95% of horses are better if they continue on as if they’re fired up allowing them to relax on the gate is much easier than trying to pull up a horse that was ready to race and then ask it to circle round multiple times and go again. 
     
    Andres horse was very fired up from the get go which is why there was a false start and once it couldn’t lead it over raced fiercely, hence why it was retired from the race. It showed similar  manners last time but settled before the gate went and was able to lead so relaxed. I wouldn’t blame either the starters or the stipes in the situation. And I think Andre said the false start fired it up not doing an extra lap it would’ve been equally as fiery if he had of had to circle round for another ten minutes
