Really it seems you and nomates should be paying more attention , Quote , “Local authorities are seeing progress – with Auckland Council saying crime has dropped by 35 per cent in the Auckland CBD and Heart of the City saying retail crime has dropped by 50 per cent.15 Sept 2024 UNDER LABOUR 14 May 2022 Police data released to RNZ indicated violent crime rates in Auckland, the largest city, were up 30% from pre-pandemic levels, and remained steady compared to the year before – despite months of lockdown keeping people indoors. In Wellington, recent shootings left some residents shaken. A series of “ram-raids”, where offenders drive cars into glass shopfronts and rob them, have dominated the headlines -

Quite a big difference in approach from labour isn't it Insider ,surly the coalition is entitled to blame labour for the crime wave . their policy was to empty prisons , catch and release . Quote , Minister of Justice Andrew Little has laid out a vision for criminal justice reform which sees sentencing law relaxed and a rejection of "tough on crime"-style politics. -

So basically @stodge the UK starts racing two year olds a bit sooner than Australia and perhaps 2 to 3 weeks later than NZ. In season terms both weather and breeding March in the Northern Hemisphere equates to September in the Southern. Climate may be a bigger determinate in the UK as we all know what UK winters are like. -
Actually I hadn't thought of that but the general tone definitely smacks of the person you've mentioned. He lives in Canterbury too...

Again!!! MR LOVE - shifted ground outwards near the 200m checking LOVE N THE PORT which had to be restrained. Driver B Hope admitted a breach of Rule 869(3)(b) in that he drove carelessly in this incident. After viewing the replays and hearing submissions on penalty the Adjudicative Committee suspended Mr Hope's driver's licence from the conclusion of racing today up to and including 10 October 2024 (6 days).

In the misconduct case this is surely not on from the Chair. Mere speculation on his part? "Chair: He needs to be very careful that man. I know he has got it in for the RIB, he needn’t make it so obvious or he’ll be in trouble."

Here we go again. Always blaming those who have gone before you, but notwithstanding all the promises, haven’t improved a single thing. Every single indicator since National has been in charge (nearly a year) is grossly worse.

It seems to be an outstanding result but I guess it’s still to play out in the courts. They are (the courts) are certainly going to be busy as are the prisons. Hopefully they are extending a few as they are going to need them.

Up here, we don't have 2-y-o races until the middle to end of March. The foaling season is January to May so it's entirely possible (and often happens) a horse can run on a racecourse before its second biological birthday. The first turf 2-y-o race in Britain was the Brocklesby Stakes run at Doncaster on March 23rd. The winner, ZMINIATURE, was foaled on January 30th 2022. The second and third were foaled on the 17th and 13th March 2022 respectively. The horse finishing last, SUNNY TIME, was foaled on 4th April 2022 One of the leading 2-y-o fillies, BEDTIME STORY, was foaled on 5th May 2022. There was a brief debate about running some earlier juvenile events on the synthetic surfaces in February but that was soon rejected. We do have the synthetic surfaces and juvenile maidens are run on those from late March onwards and as an alternative to running very young and inexperienced horses on heavy ot soft turf they are popular with trainers as they are with the late maturing types so nurseries and maidens on the synthetic surfaces get plenty of support in October, November and December. Far be it from me to champion the synthetic surfaces with you but I think there is a niche for running early and late 2-y-o races on these surfaces as distinct from Heavy 10 turf and perhaps that's an avenue NZTR should be exploring in addition to all the trials and jumpouts you hold (which we don't in the UK but Ireland has barrier trials on the Polytrack at Dundalk)

Read Mark Jones view. He may not be so enamoured with this stupid new rule when he gets fined.It maybe in contravention of human rights which would supercede rules of harness Racing . would have thought if such a major "problem"existed a simple request to all drivers would suffice. The rule book was getting out of hand 30 years ago and it was cut down but now it has expanded to a major volume again .If image (not substance)is the concern then tell us all and lets move on. (and Mark seems to indicate us owners and punters that are the source of his income dont know what happens on raceday because we are not drivers. I have been watching harness racing for the last 62 years and do understand what is discussed. Abuse of young less experienced drivers did sometimes happen from senior drivers but much less these days. -
You mean who is Gookson? Or who's Gookson? Whose Gookson is like asking whose Gucci handbag is that?' Seriously though, Gookson is a good name 🤣 i didn't hear any of his calls, but it appears the 24 hour postponement meant Aaron wasn't on course until R4, so Gookson called the first 3 races, I'm assuming from the studio.
