And what is that supposed to absolve him from being a serial horse basher???Give me a break.

He was bloody lucky to get as little as he did...poor bloody horse...he deserves the book thrown at him so he bloody learns...awful thing to do and many saw him do it so it is not just hearsay either.

Even the so called headquarters that had a fortune spent on it has major issues...too many horses going amiss during its so called bedding in process...what a joke that we seem to accept that as acceptable.

Short answer is NO...the reason their track held up and was able to take the rain was called planning and maintenance over years...something NZ knows nothing about...reap as you sow...and if we are relying on tides to hold a race meeting then we are in real bad shape....JMO.

Lets hope she can teach them how to do it correctly...why have a premier channel and as soon as they cross the line Pip starts prattling on why have a special dedicated channel if they dont let the atmosphere and the aftermath of the big races flow...may as well put a race from shyte place on as listen to drivel...anyway thats my rant for the day.!!!

And another know it all over there thinks she wont make a Million...be very surprised if she does not..however he seems to think he knows everything about everything....🤣

I agree with Hesi Freda you are a good contributor and for him to deride you like he has is totally wrong in my position...your opinions were spot on from what I could see. Broad shoulders or not.

Bull shit they should not have closed so many, it was stupid.

Keep pouring money into stakes ...may as well pour it down the gurgler until the tracks are fixed its on thin thin ice...a joke...but oh we dont meed all the tracks that are deemed uselesss..chickens are coming home to roost. and what about the preps for these fillies for the Oaks now how unfair on them now too ...its a house of cards.

actually it was more the use of a tongue tie...my mistake...whenever this was applied it was always nearly successful...FWIW I do not believe Cool and smart is going that well from all reports...maybe a risk anyway...JMHO.

You should look at the stats over the years when TA apply blinkers first time in the KM and see the results...just saying.

Barry is right Labour were the WORST and Jacinda was the leader of the pack...again JMO

Guerin would give Panadol a headache...he is the worst presenter of a bad bunch..Emily is streets ahead of the rest of the Trackside so called presenters JMO

I feel sorry for some of the decent people outcast from the trackside employment, Jason Teaz for instance good knowledge and yet they keep an absolute boring to death puppet like this, there have been many let go who would breathe a whole new life into what could be a good and interesting weekly show.JMO

Absolute robot and a puppet to his masters, he needs to go.

100% agree maxi they sure know how to do it...Guerin = boring with a capital B...felt sorry for poor Mcnab sitting there like a shag on a rock!!!

But there is not so why feel the need to even mention it...??? Prowess or Legato would be my choices.

His ride on Anamoe was perfect too...just needed to get off and carry him 200 out LOL...he is world class with a capital C for sure...long may he continue to keep kicking the winners home.

Problem with him he thinks he is better than everyone...would be good if he showed a little bit of humbleness...JMO...you would of thought after the Taiki incident he caused he would of learnt...seems not.

Many horses in the stable have it prescribed just in this case it was given to the wrong horse...

No by mistake.

Its very simple...it was given medicine by mistake, human error, how is that so difficult to understand...shit happens the person who made the mistake must be feeling awful too...it was given it by mistake..and mistakes happen.

Yes I think you will find many stables use this product regularly within the rules to treat horses post fast work...its not anything sinister...just for your info. In this case a human made an error and gave it to him too close to the race...as Turny said have humans have mishaps.

He wouldn't have been getting any treatment as it was within 24 hrs of a race...human error that it was given by mistake to the wrong horse.

Seems maybe more to it to follow... MEDIA STATEMENT - 28 MARCH 2023 We are extremely disappointed to be advised by the Racing Integrity Board (RIB) that Tokyo Tycoon has returned a positive post-race result for a non-steroidal, anti inflammatory medication following the Group 1 Sistema Stakes. This news has come as an enormous shock as we have trained 155 winners this year in New Zealand alone, 30 at Group level, and every other horse has delivered a 100% clear post-race result. Te Akau always conducts itself with the utmost integrity and professionalism. Our whole team is deeply committed to these principles. We take pride in our robust systems, which have been noted by the RIB. Abiding by all rules of racing is non-negotiable for us. The post-race result indicates the presence of meloxicam which is commonly used within the industry and is administered as an anti-inflammatory medication post gallop. This treatment was not prescribed to Tokyo Tycoon, making this result a mystery. We are working very closely and co-operatively with the RIB to ascertain exactly what has happened, and to establish how this has occurred. There are, in our view, only two possibilities for this to have occurred: either a human error, or deliberate administration by an unknown party. We have CCTV throughout our stable, and this footage is currently being analysed to identify what has occurred. We have shared this data with the RIB. We feel very disappointed for Tokyo Tycoon's owners who are wonderful friends and supporters of our stable - and for the horse himself, as Tokyo Tycoon proved to be the stand-out 2YO throughout this season. As this is an ongoing investigation there will be no further comment.
