Black Kirrama 1,477 Report post Posted September 28, 2019 Today RANIER won Race 9 at Rosehill. Trained by J Cummings Post race young James Cummings said " Rania is one of the very few horses that I train that I put a tongue tie on on race day ". Does this mean that the Godolphin breeding program actually weeds out foals/ yearlings with long tongues ? Or may be His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum couldn't afford the expence of recycling used silk stockings or panty hose . How prevalant are tongue ties in NZ Racing.Thoroughbreds.Are they used in Standard bred racing ? Some one will know the Tongue tie stats for our amazing Trainers with 30 or more individual winners per year. Marsh, Ritchie, Baker/Forsman , Autridge, Richards, Williams ,Kelso, Tiley ,R James etc Opinions ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germany has banned them from use , also Mark Johnston ex trainer of Hartnell never uses them , this season he has had over 200 winners from 1212 runners at 19 per cent win to runs . Over 5 million pounds in prizemoney so he is not doing too bad without them . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
