Anyone who backs a 22 start maiden proves that fools and money are soon parted. They would be better throwing the money into the street. Some lucky person would get something for the money!

Mate, read more Stipes reports from Aussie, particularly NSW … in Sydney that was 28 days in a heartbeat, in Vic probably 14 Here, today, bad luck 

CELESTIAL SEA - when questioned regarding the tactics he adopted passing the 800m driver J Dunn advised that he was concerned LOCHDARRAGH may weaken rounding the final bend after leading through the middle stages and maintaining a solid tempo, so felt his best option was to shift away from the marker line to avoid being held up. Stewards noted Mr Dunn's comments.   John Dunn does not watch previous races going on those comments. Lochdarragh was huge last start and was never going to weaken. Ignoring previous form cost him the race.

I've seen heaps of bad rides by jockeys in Australian races and no three month bans.  I think you're overreacting a  bit.

Don't the Green Party support the use of Medicinal cannabis? Meanwhile what political party have those been potentially associated with who have been caught using such substances around Greyhounds? Aren't the Greens big on Rehabilitation programs for criminal offenses, including the use of unlawful substances?   There's always a flip side...

Court systems are constantly clogged up with the same names and appeals sad to say so who knows how long any case would take to get to Court for Jurisprudence. The world needs more proactive people to hold academics to account who merely copy paste others Research without looking at their own contributions to the cause of problems in society. Problems which have disrupted the Status Quo Harmony in society since learning how to use a computer and the internet at schools in the 1980's exploded.     As recent example of yet again flawed research practices, Academics wanting taxpayer funding through MBIE / Universities are blaming cats for killing birds on beaches and in reserves. A recent research paper said 4 cats were caught on camera at Omaha over a lengthy period and one had a sniff at the birds nest eggs and went on it's way. The eggs never hatched so they are blaming the cat. Perhaps those people can look in their own back yard how their own human scents and footprints around birds nesting areas causes harm to birds.   How many other flawed Scientists papers are used to advise Governments within decision making?   Frankly we feel in the last 30 or so years of governance in New Zealand has gone down the gurgler for what a Government should be doing.   There's far too much reliance on the internet and a lack of meaningful inclusion of a wider cross section of those impacted on, including in Rural New Zealand.   Don't start us on mass migration academics who fail to cross reference laws or geography who are new to New Zealand and the use of false documents and Qualifications.   How many have ever attended a Race Meeting?   Why is it that Asian countries are where the demise of Racing and closures of Racecourses started? Think about the bigger picture folks in the background. 

Great storyteller, wonderful horseman..   Syd Brown, the legendary trainer of champions like Redcraze, Daryl's Joy, Wood Court Inn, Classic Mission, Triton and Kista, passed away on Sunday. The former New Zealander who called Sydney home for more than five decades would have turned 100 in October. Brown, a NZ Hall of Fame inductee in 2014, was an institution at Warwick Farm where he trained. "Syd was a good friend and mentor, a great storyteller and a wonderful horseman, '' trainer Ron Leemon said. "I was up early for trackwork on Sunday morning when I got a text from Errol to let me know that his father had passed. It's a sad day.'' Brown first came to prominence as the trainer of emerging champion Redcraze, winner of the 1955 Turnbull Stakes before finishing fourth to Toparoa in the Melbourne Cup. Redcraze was later transferred to Toparoa's trainer Tommy Smith and won the 1956 Caulfield Cup, Metropolitan Handicap and Brisbane Cup.   Brown then had success during the 1969 Melbourne spring carnival with Daryl's Joy winning the Cox Plate and Victoria Derby, and Wood Court Inn took out the Thousand Guineas. Classic Mission then gave Brown the 1971 AJC Derby-Victoria Derby double before the trainer decided to move to Sydney the following year and set up stables at Warwick Farm. Brown had immediate success when his mighty miler Triton edged out champion Gunsynd in an epic 1972 Epsom Handicap and brilliant mare Kista won the 1973 The Galaxy.  He finished third in the trainers premiership in his debut Sydney season behind greats Tommy Smith and Jack Denham. Brown continued to train winners out of his Warwick Farm stables until he retired 20 years ago. Rod Craig, best known as the trainer of eight-time Group 1 winner Intergaze, was Brown's neighbour at Warwick Farm stables for many years. "I remember one time when I was training I had about 50 horses in work and they kept running fourth and fifth, and I was thinking what am I doing wrong,'' Craig said. "Syd came over and gave me some advice that I have never forgotten. He said it doesn't matter if you have 10 or 100 horses in work, every trainer goes through a lean period so just keep working hard and it will turn. "He was right, of course. He was a great horseman and a real good bloke.'' Brown's sons Errol and Bruce also became successful trainers in their own right. Bruce Brown continues to train out of Doomben and prepared Calaway Gal to win the 2002 Golden Slipper.      

I didn't say I agreed with it. I did have a feeling they told her to go to the front - she obviously overcooked it. The horse is a difficult ride. I backed her a number of times earlier in the season and pulls too hard.

Little consolation to punters that backed it Pete. She should stick to jumpers.

From the Stewards Report. SHOCKIFF (P Matthews) - Raced keenly through the early stages, making the first bend awkwardly.  When questioned into her ride, P Matthews advised that her instructions were to lead as the mare had over-raced when being restrained to obtain cover at its previous start.  SHOCKIFF again over-raced when ridden along in front establishing a substantial lead, commencing to weaken rounding the home turn and had little left at the finish.  Connections confirmed the instructions given were for the mare to lead if possible and roll along.  P Matthews agreed with Stewards that she had erred in her judgement on this occasion.  P Matthews was advised that she is expected to exercise better judgement in future and her explanation was noted. 

I see CM posted a sad reaction to my last post. The only sad thing is the continual obfuscation on the other channel. Wriggling around trying to convince people that posts haven't  been taken down is laughable. The dictionary meaning of obfuscate sums the behaviour up perfectly. "make obscure, unclear, or unintelligible."

Magic Indy Eyre x Lucky Pat (Sundon) The stallion is from the same family as The Locomotive (La Coocaracha,  Dance Craze, Mataderos etc) He has Lordship and Plat Du Jour in his pedigree which both produced trotters. Also has Nevele Pride going further back. 

been watching to many pride of jenni videoes.

This comment is just plain weird. "Start a new thread and ask @Freda and @billy connolly to post again. I'm happy to contribute to a conspiracy on the "missing" thread."

Had a minimum of 28 days written all over it, in Australia 3 months minimum Punters totally shafted on a favourite, “reminding her of her obligations” is total BS …. Thank God I don’t bet in NZ as it continues to turn into a total joke on many fronts

Seems very weird they have all gone and he is very quiet about it hoping nobody raises it too often...maybe got his differing personas confused...he has about 5 at least.🤣 And this message was sent to me yesterday...something was going on....   Another Site is currently unavailable   Hi All We are having a technical difficulty.  Will be back in 10 mins. Cheers

may be as a sprinter...she gave it absolutely no chance and should of been suspended IMHO

Well it looks like they got that bit right🤠

I hope nothing untoward has happened to Bloke Hokey Mitey and Heap.

Shockiff is now a 23 start maiden. Hard to see her winning on the flat. Stipendiary Steward report reminded Portia of her obligations. Warned only. No fine or suspension. Connections wanted her to lead if possible. Shockiff is a very hard puller. Difficult to ride at the best of times. Future may be as a jumper or brood mare.
