    It is NZ racing - it is like a Lotto ticket - you win you lose - but you still have next Saturday

    TeRapa Hizzy and that was bullshit. In this day and age, all the information that is out there, punters can make their own judgement call and don’t bother listening to the so called informed opinions. I always give an honest appraisal, but my owners come first, as they pay the bills.

    Yes, it does make you wonder Robert. I have a small share in a trotter, but that is as far as it goes.
    Graeme Stiles is a pretty competent guy, and I am sure he wouldn’t have wanted the meeting not to go ahead,
    You do have it over us in a lot of ways, all weather tracks being the main one, but your leaders had a bit more foresight than ours over the last 30 years, but in saying that, Cambridge Harness doesn’t get the fields like they used to and Alexandra Park seem to get all the favours, would this be right?
    We are so far behind in infrastructure, and I doubt we can ever catch up, it is alright saying courses have to close, but how it it that Ellerslie closes down over the winter period and it is meant to be our flagship course?
    A patch up job is on the way, will this see us racing there 12 months of the year, I doubt it.
    You don’t see the 4 metropolitan tracks close down through winter in Melbourne, the trainers would be in an uproar.
    We are very much a splintered group here in NZ, every section has their own agenda and this is not helping us to unite and fight the battle against our diminishing product.
    20 years ago you would have never have seen 4 nominations for a maiden 1200 at Ellerslie on a Saturday.
    Dwindling foal crops, horsed sold from the sales, privately or being sent off shore by NZ owners is another concern.
    Sad, but true and until this is addressed and John Allan gets
    a wriggle on, this is going to be the norm.
    Fancy not being able to present a balance sheet at the recent Roadshow/ Sideshow........
    One young fellow from the audience provided more information than the heirachy, and was asked afterwards by one official, where did you get your information from, as we don’t make that information public knowledge anymore.
    Does the right hand not know what the left hand is doing down in Wellington?
    Seems a bit like it!
    Robert, I will stick to my code, but gee it is getting harder to support the powers to be that are supposedly running it!

    Just wondering how the track can be rated Good3, then with no rain it is dangerous to race on??? especially as the bend had not been negotiated. Stipe interviewed on Trackside said nothing about an irrigation malfunction causing an obvious "soft spot" so maybe it was one of the vagaries of racing (and life) where a misstep was taken. Horses slip over running around in their paddocks FFS.
    Next thing they will abandon when a strapper is head-butted or stood-on by a horse deeming it an unsafe practice to try and control the noble beast.

    Do you pay the bills for the horses??? If not then you have to take your chances just like everyone else as you don't have any right to know, only the owners do.

    Paid into day 100 for a good cause. I figured seeing as I was not having a good run on the punt may as well go to a good cause.

    How does this have nothing to do with greyhound racing? Everyone should rally around to help this poor dog.

    Agree, get rid of the f#cking cameras as well, intrusive in your face cameras viewing peoples cracks and wrong coloured socks just sucks. They add nothing to the racing, and should be told to concentrate on the racing and aftermath. There is far to many people at the start these days, besides the starter and handlers.

    Whoever thought it a good idea to put microphones at the start of dog races should be put up against the wall and shot. Today while driving listening to t/side they crossed over to a dog race. Had to turn the radio off as the hounds were barking so loud because of the microphone at the start I had trouble hearing the commentator. Idiots who thought of that

    I think you are being a bit harsh there Guys.It happened right in front of the Grandstand.Innes said he definitely heard the words "false start" from
    George and then the Clerk comes charging over to the field which they normally do at a false start.I give him the benifit of the doubt

    I was told by a driver one day how he backed the second fav and tried to get his horse (fav)in a bad position on the rail, unfortunately he was left with a clear run so knowing his horse had a bad tendency to run out when hit with the whip on the left side ended up on the outside fence after getting a rails run .beaten 1/2 LenBetter today than how it use to be but these gypsies need to feed their families somehow,and the punt guaranteed dinner on the table,least they were not out stealing cars and doing burglaries

    "Poor ol" is an expression. He wasn't describing CWJ as poor or old. If CT tipped out Winx as a good thing we would all think poor old Winx what has she done to deserve that.

    Was battling at the 400 I thought Double R. Got to the fence and it seemed to chew up there a bit as the day wore on but I'm a great believer in whatever the track is, that's what it is, and they've all got to cope with it. Live to fight another day.

    Obviously we have different takes.While I never personally said OPB caused the interference,i thought they said on trackside he had a 10 day suspension,so I assume you don't get that because of good riding. Whatever, I stick to my claim that there was some poor riding.
    As far as The Bostonian goes I think it is you who are talking nonsense. It does not appear on over big horse,the exact type that do not handle being  knocked about, and it had illustrated at its previous run that it does not cop interference very well. Whether the interference was the cause of its poor run we will never know,but i believe it fair to think it was a factor.

    I don't know about it being a good ride. Certainly a winning ride.  Did they not say he got a 10 day suspension for interference. The head on just after the start showed some awful interference which could easily have had serious consequences. The  leith innes horse had  any real chance extinguished when it took such a bad bump. A very rough race with some poor riding. Its all there on the video to see.

    I wish they would kick the prick out. Tried to influence the political system for his own ends.
    He's had to apply for funds to pay for rent in Queenstown so not that flash. The Yanks have turned down an appeal there too.
    Just what she sees in him I have no idea. Notoriety and paid for lifestyle apart that is.

    hizzy reacted to La Zip in Trackside Ozzie Coverage   
    I think the Cup week coverage plus the whole Spring Carnival event built by the industry and government shows the gulf between Australian and New Zealand.  It's such a shame that the legacy built here generations ago by astute, top notch horsemen, has drifted so far into oblivion that it will never recover.  I do understand the world has changed but NZ did not keep up - the same old familiar, head in the sand, we know best attitude has left the NZ industry (to be fair, it's just not racing, it's attitude across the broad spectrum of NZ society) in a state of extreme vulnerability,  and some here think that one man can fix all of this....it's the culture that needs the boot...
