Hesi Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 He has had some good horses of late, doing well, but only nominations I can find are Just Dance(Derby), and Marcella(Levin Classic), both in March. Has he pulled the plug due to the vaccine mandates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mardigras Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) Not noms, but he accepted with one at Otaki (now scratched) and has one in at Te Rapa (R2). Edited December 15, 2021 by mardigras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are all his good horses like Justamaiz, Judy's Song, Marcella, Just Dance, Finest Wine. Lots of good racing coming up and no noms I read his Twitter tweets and he is very anti Vax and mandates, so probably not vaxxed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mardigras Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Whilst not anti-vax, I'm definitely anti-mandates, so I can sympathise with him if the mandates are causing grief. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curious Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Can still train but can't be on course now for anything. Training, racing, whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 He has 5 good horses, with lots of races coming up. What provisions if any, have been made to get those horses to the races Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 I note Kezia Murphy and Danny Champion have 5 in at Ashburton. They were mentioned as not getting vaxxed. Have they made provisions or got vaxxed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they made provisions or got vaxxed They don't have to be vaxxed if they indeed are not. They just can't attend on course because of the NZTR mandate. NZTR has no control over that elsewhere and it is not a requirement to hold a licence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they have made other provisions then to have their horses transported to and from the races and attended to at the races Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can no longer attend the track at all. So, if they want to work horses there they need to have them in the care of vaccinated workers..

Hesi Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 Clearly then, David Greene is having logistical issues. So many good horses in his stable, so many riches coming up over the hols, and no nominations. I suspect trainers like him, are edging their bets, hoping for a relaxation of the vaccine mandates in the new year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
