  1. Click on the HKJC web site / results. In HK every runner in every race has a Judicial Control comment.In numerical descending order. Post Race. For the last 15 years I have been lobbying for the same Judicial reporting format in NZ. that HK has.. We need the same form format in NZ. to sync with the World Wide betting pools. Our two websites NZ RACING and the new Entain TAB need to get their act together. Combine all Race horse data into one accessible site. As investors in our industry we need to have all information including Judicial reports available when we click on a horse.. Racing .com do this very well and have links to each runner's judicials reports, previous gear worn, lead out by pony pre race, Hood pre race. In NZ we have reverted or still adhere to a simplistic race day report, which Judge Tony Ryan said reminded him of Samoa. Stenographers who can not spell correctly. Dates incorrectly recorded . i.e The Peter Tims case . Incorrectly recorded statements from participants who Maurice McBreen defended and won So have a look at this from yesterday Tauranga R5 FROCKED UP GIRLS 3YO Following the running of this race connections of the second placed horse VALENTINE lodged a protest alleging interference in the final straight against the winner AQUILIFER. After viewing replays and considering submissions the Adjudicator upheld the protest with the amended placings being 1 st VALENTINE, 2 nd AQUILIFER, 3rd SHE TURNS HEADS, 4 th IMPERIAL EMPRESS. Who is The Adjudicator in this case ? Is it a one person or a majority vote. From a 4 person panel ? Stewards: A Dooley (Chair), L Selvakumaran, G Stewart Vet: L de Clifford BVSc Op Support: K Verner My questions regarding this race reversal are: ( Waiting replies from Rod , Steve ND OTHERS )

  3. Idol , you have probably stuffed Jim's ( Gubbiline ) matrimonial Saturday evening. The great man will be ferreting back through his Turf Registers until Sunday morning. For NZ results. Quinella's bets were probably introduced about 60 years . Sir Jim Gibbs,the great Matamata Trainer loved the quinellas as an extra source of income. When he charged $22 / day. 24 horse fields don't exist in Australasia any more, Idol. Further yonder The English Grand National has probably thrown up two double digit quinella numbers. The Melbourne Cup of 1990 raced on the 6th November was won by Sir Barts Kingston Rule . from The Phantom and Mr Brooker. Someone on RCafe will have that result as per their horse numbers. And the massive quinella and first three ( trifecta ) divie. I caught a plane from Hamilton direct flight to Melbourne Cup and return the next day. Special promotion. We never made the return flight after Kingston Rule's win. Days and magic memories that we all cherish.

  6. Thanks Charlie. Good man you, for mentioning all those other great horses.Thank you. Altitude, being a colt could have left a dynasty. I was also videoing the Waipa Trials when that awesome galloper Weston Lea broke his leg. Tony Allan had won the lead up races to the Derby on him I didn't film any more trials that day. I went and sat with Laurie in his car. Tough bloke . Cried hard. Then he went to check Sheila had tightened the girth on a maiden 5 trials later.
  7. Ellerslie Derby day, eve. A race that still gets us " bodgies and our woodshies , sheilas " born in the 1950's excited. The race previously the Great Northern Derby was raced on Boxing Day. It has meta morphed itself since 1973. This was not intended to be a History lesson. It was always raced Right Handed until Sharp n Smart's win last year at Te Rapa for Debbie Rogerson and a co Trainer. There will be Racing Tragics on Race Cafe , like me, who were on course when Sobig won in 1964 and then saw his mighty black Son Kirrama win the Derby in 1970 . Others of you ( maybe 4 ) may have been on course when I filmed Balmerino in 1975 with a hand held super 8 mm camera. But the 1981 Derby day will be with me forever. Altitude, the great horse had won his previous 8 starts going into the Derby. No other horse before him, going into a Derby anywhere in the world had won eight races straight. SIr Steven Autridge was unbeaten on the Bill Ford trained Altitude. Altitude ( Sammy Boy ) had a fatal bleeding attack and died 21 minutes after the Derby. More memories post here.

  9. Keith Hawtin , the great man, trained in that part of the world for Debbie Rogerson's husband. Maybe it was him that recounted there were many camel moofaas with only one hand. For breaches of betting laws or drinking gin while on their cell phones. Sir Ralph Manning took Sea Change over to that part of the world to Dubai. He's still got both hands ! ( Sir GK Sanders took over Sea Change's training for Ascot.He probably couldn't deal with the heat of the desert ! Or drinking with just one hand back in Te Awamutu ) About 5 years earlier Sir Trevor McKee and maybe his son took Sunline to the Desert Region and both returned with their hands intact.

  12. Nigel had 23 unflattering names , Gub !! Roger Booth was a good bloke too. His nick name would be best forgotten.
  13. Alan and Linda Jones had some good ones for their star apprentices. Some cant be repeated here. Linda Ballantyne - Rocket Cathy Tremaine - Midget Others : Earl R Harrison - Shorty Grant Cooksley - Cookie Leith Innis - Lethal Michael Coleman - The King. ( I believe he gave this nickname to himself after beating Lance O'S one day ! Shane Dye - Billy Idol (
  14. Watch V E 's maiden win at Ruakaka as I weep and applaud her . She changed my life and so many other believers with her often arrogant heads up style. Erratic head carriage. She had 3 great trainers. In Australasia Nick B, D W and Waller. Many horse lovers are perplexed about the sad decisions her new ownership made. Bastards. Waller knew she had had enough and deserved a non European campaign. The Paddock with Snitzell. maybe. Her Northen Hemisphere performances were embarrassing. Lets remember her as one of our greatest NZ bred mares. Here is her Maiden win. https://loveracing.nz/RaceInfo/47234/3/Race-Detail.aspx
