JJ Flash 2,135 Report post Posted January 6, 2021 Of getting a reduced sentence now that he is appealing.. Could only be for a reduction based on severity of original sentence. But who knows these days Patiti 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're Doomed 4,855 Report post Posted January 6, 2021 I can see no logical reason for him to get a reduction just because there are a couple of decent races coming up. I think we should ask ourselves what would happen if CWJ appealed a suspension because he had a decent ride coming up at Kumara. All we can ask for is consistency.

Baz (NZ) 1,722 Report post Posted January 6, 2021 Opie will be back for Karaka Million night. It would be a marketing travesty for NZ Racing if he isn't there on the big night. Particularly with the BOYS GET PAID who love him on that night of racing. Chris Johnson however would have got an extra month just for appealing ! napier, JJ Flash, TurnyTom and 2 others 4 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houlahan's Dream 535 Report post Posted January 8, 2021 On 1/2/2021 at 2:44 PM, Tauhei Notts said: Arithmetic is my speciality. If punting was I would be rich. So, there is something fishy with those sectional times. Note how the winner's time was 68.91seconds; and they came the last 600 in 32.54seconds. But look further and see that Levante, who was spotting the leader a decent lead at the 600, came her last 600 in 32.53 seconds. This does not seem to add up to me, just as the distribution of $188,000 in prize money does not add up to the $200,000 usually accorded a group one race. Poundforpound is correct to make mention of a sprint where they went the second half 4.37 seconds faster than the first half. It seemed to be a great track gallop where the rider is asked to go 3/4 pace to the 600 then kick the excrement out of it over 600 metres.

He will still get slapped over the wrist, but with a smaller bus ticket that perhaps costs a little more. Baz (NZ) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kloppite 314 Report post Posted January 11, 2021 Bunch of clowns on another site suggest it won't matter whether Opie gets off or not. They suggest he is not that good and Te Akau would be better off with Tina Comignaghi or at least six other jockeys (who they refuse to name). Biggest load of nonsense you'll ever read. There is certainly only one Opie Bosson! JJ Flash, Dissident and Baz (NZ) 1 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is certainly only one Opie Bosson! end of the day opies had the opportunists others cab only dream on theres a lot of jockeys with better strike rates iam sure would have same success , if opie wasnt picked up by te akau would he stil be riding as for his appeal why the ...... was old man ellis allowed to say what he said personally hope it fails more to racing than opie seems to be a lot in racing that thinks thats all there is in racing and alot of top jockeys dont get the opportunities sooner he calls it quits the better Mr Spyro and Baz (NZ) 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Rum 1,833 Report post Posted January 11, 2021 Haven't really looked at the rides in question , however in some places a Group 1 or Grade 1 race day is not included in the ban if you apply to have that day not counted and bump the day forward , although I know Karaka night isn't Group 1 day so that rule wouldn't apply to this . shaneMcAlister 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
