    Black Kirrama got a reaction from Al Feilding in Overview of James McDonald's career   
    Alan Jones and Linda were also a huge part of shaping Jame's  early pastoral care.
    Raising Calves  with his mum and dad  Di and Brett.His work ethic.
     
    He also had a very early career trip with George Simon and Phil V  to Ireland..
     
    NZ  since 1980 has had  few international   rated Hoops. ( defined by premier Group One,  wins in at  least  3 Countries or jurisdictions but not over jumps  ) 
    We  have had riding marvels like Brent  Thompson ( 4 Cox Plates  and Group wins in at least 4 Countries.), Lance O'Sullivan , Australia , Japan  NZ
    J Mac  is on target to ride more Group One winners in different jurisdictions than Ryan Moore !

    Black Kirrama reacted to Tauhei Notts in Orchestral (nz)   
    Many years ago an Australian political reporter asked the late Bob Hawke if he had ever been wrong.
    Hawke looked straight into the camera lens and said "Yes".
    The political reporter was astonished that a politician would ever admit that he had been wrong.
    "And how was that Mr Hawke?"
    I"I backed Galleon to beat Manikato" responded Bob Hawke,
    I sincerely hope that people will not say that Tauhei Notts was once wrong;
    "He backed Orchestral to beat Zarkozi"..

    I think that in the not too distant future he will replace the great Tony Lee in the overall standings within this country and no one could do better than that.
    I am seeing something that none of the others have. 
    Yes, it's just my opinion, and I am sticking to it.

    Take away my results for the day and it would have been even better..
    I was awful again today. Individually I finished 47th out of 48, and did manage to get six 4th placings in total for the day.
    My BB races. got a 4th in both of them. Had a late Scratching so it went onto the single pick and that ran... 4th.

    Black Kirrama got a reaction from Houlahan's Dream in NZ Judicial Reports, post Race Day, are a farce compared with Hong Kong.   
    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 )

    Sometimes owners use irony when naming a horse.
    Like, years ago "Head On" was out of Arson.
    So when I first saw Pulchritudinous at her first start in September I thought she may have been out of "Wahinenui", but not so.  It was "Showus".
