Leggy 4,075 Report post Posted March 17, 2016 It is NZTR responsible in the rules for the integrity/stewards function. That they have chosen to contract that out to the RIU does not reduce their responsibilities under the rules IMO The buck stops with the NZTR board. napier 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruff 2,790 Report post Posted March 17, 2016 Integrity unit have stepped up in my opinion,the fact he has been exonerated means little,.guilty in my opinion,weak ride. Most on here have seen more races than can possibly be good for you,to not see an 'error ' on the part of Cameron here is laughable.

Hard to understand when it is so rife, largely due to the racing stakes structure which clearly encourages cheating and discourages wagering on the product. Seems a bit of a token one off attempt to resolve an issue which is primarily structurally based. Gruff 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I know of many examples but one that happened soon after the Mime one was where a horse easily wins a 1000m trial by being allowed to roll along in front. Raceday start in a 1000m race strong favourite on tote - horse jumps well, could have led, but immediately restrained well wrestled to settle behind them, continues to race unkindly and then finishes late after trying to find room. Trainer apparently wanted to teach the horse to settle. Stewards and RIU don't do a thing. Don't appear to even ask a question.
