Sorry Barry,yes it may have been a shambles and run badly to get to where it is now, but lets hope and pray this is the light at the end of a very dark Tunnel...its our only small beacon of hope.

What a stupid comment shows no respect for the many thousands of hardworking people involved in the industry....who would be without a job if your stupid suggestion was given any traction, I personally think with the upfront payment, which seems not to be mentioned anywhere yet, that would have to pay for the exclusive rights and with the ongoing money to be tipped in it cant be anything but good for the industry as a whole. ..JMO.
-
No just referring to your robot comment...its not subjective at all...rule is if this or this happens gone...end of story...nothing subjective at all.Anyway thats my view and I am sticking t it.
-
You seem like one...interference is very clearcut...come in contact with another runner or impede it in any way ...seems no favouritism there...its a damn site better than now.
-
How do you believe that...there is no room for interpretation...cause interference to another runner you are out...how is that open to favouritism...???
-
I think it still results in disqualification...one thing for sure its a damn site better than our kangaroo court system.Where its not what you know but who....and thats wrong even if its just a perception.
-
Some South American countries as well as the USA...not sure about what Canada does.
-
Still open to conjecture and if one of the panel members "favoured" jockey or owner is involved then still open for incompetence...no I think the US and other countries rule is what's needed...no ifs but maybes you cause interference that results in horses been restricted from having a clear run then out you go...back to last.
-
And that is where its wrong...the rule is wrong the decision should be taken out of the hands of either biased or inexperienced people in a closed room..JMO.That would be fair for all concerned this type of BS decision happens to often in NZ and sometimes in Oz as well..its all subjective opinions...have a clear rule interfere and out you go.
-
So you think it was OK what McNab did????
-
The result is a joke...and McNab should count his blessings he got off so lightly...he made zero effort to do anything to correct her...we should have the same system as in some other countries, if you cause interference you are disqualified...that takes all these incorrect decisions out of the hands of people who may have a vested interest in the result...cause interference to another runner and out you go ..end of story.

Awful field...not worthy of 100K let alone 500K.....looks set for another downgrade soon. Oh for the great days of old...Castletown springs to mind.
-
Some late maturing types deserve a chance at a decent race too...last year it was won by a superstar now so why is it at the wrong time...not all 3yos go for the derby some can not stay...this may just be one of those years where for one reason or another some have fallen by the wayside.
-
Sketchy when they dont even put their names to it so how are we supposed know anything about who they are.
-
I think owners are just as important..if not more...no owners then no horses for the punters to feed on...it cuts both ways.
-
Why must he follow that path...he is a very good trainer I think I would trust his judgement....not that I am saying he can win but I think Roger has some clue what he is doing.
-
Over rated in my opinion...decent horse but no superstar.
-
Do you know that for a fact???
-
That is a fact but if TA were not as strong as they are on the ones they like then the price logically will be much lower...but hey thats logical. They make the prices as high as they are on some horses and if there is only one bidder on them with TA not around then of course competition won't be so hot...
-
You are free to your opinion as I am to mine...life goes on.
-
No need any sort of pill thanks...but thanks for the advice anyway...Just think TA gets attacked for nothing other than jealousy...JMO. And some think the sales would not miss them ..total BS how many others buy 20 plus to stay in NZ.....thats easy to answer nobody.And take out a big buyer of numbers the sale will 100% feel the affects...not that some in here would know a clue about that...again just my 2c worth.
-
And they clearly have the best track record of anyone buying at Karaka...if they stop buying there will be some sad and sorry vendors at the sales...just think of how many people they employ and how big their operation costs to run...I dunno why people have to knock them...they put the money and mostly all of it stays in NZ.. they mind their own business do their own thing and get plenty of people involved in racing....has to be good for the industry....doesn't it???
-
Why only single him out...there are many big buyers in the SH why do you choose only to focus on him????Is there a reason???
-
Maybe you should listen to people who have done the stats already...he is not the only one who spends up big but he has the best record of them all...I do not have any association with TA just feel credit should be given where it is due.
