Hope The White House is getting ready for this motley crew to return in January. I’m sure Lurch can help the “ model”  with the decor…..

"Analysis by Massey University of the 2023/24 racing season revealed that New Zealand remains one of the safest horse racing jurisdictions in the world, with a fracture rate on turf tracks of 0.37 per 1,000 starts.   While still world leading, the fracture rate on synthetic tracks appears higher than turf at 0.81 per 1,000 starts."   Information on the 23/24 season has been a closely guarded secret till now.  That figure on grass tracks has dropped significantly on other seasons.  However, the synthetic fracture rate that does not include the bowed tendons etc is alarming, you'd have to deduce. This analysis clearly proves the problem many in the industry have been trying to portray with regards to synthetic surfaces in this country.  NZTR should really be apologising to many passionate participants. One stat glossed over as NZ is hard to compare to other countries which run races for less credentialed riders, is the higher number of bone breaks of horses ridden by lesser experienced and poorer quality riders.  Our riders are lumped in together, and quality across the board is questioned in almost every post on here.

Briliiant!! ... Now I know why they water tracks , To allow cushioning  when hooves make contact with surface of the ground ,  less fracturing /injuries to horses.  "The majority of fatal fractures occurred in the forelimb, in particular in the metacarpus and proximal phalanx. Fractures at these sites are often associated with stress, where repetitive loading of the bone causes microdamage and increases the likelihood of catastrophic failure [20]. Fracture risk increases with age as a result of bone fatigue [23]. Bone fatigue can occur due to high volumes of loading under the monotonic force threshold for catastrophic failure which causes microscopic damage in a localised area where the force is placed. The accumulation of microdamage increases fracture risk over time [24]. "

You can’t fix years of Labour fiscal incompetence overnight NM…… Interesting how most of the main rats have deserted that ship since eh….?

They dont even have the fields up for Sunday...pretty poor effort...have other countries races up just not poor old NZ.

Millions of Americans say “Do we have to… ? “ 😆

Exactly the same could be said about NZ , but the rhetoric about how a National Govt would correct it was just as bad as Trump .

Another moron who can’t read, or spell apparently. His 20-60% tariffs on imports sure as hell won’t help our exports, or many others probably. His last lot cost them millions in subsidies for farmers. There was nothing wrong with the economy, it was just the perception out there that it was bad…and ignorance of how global economies work.  —  Donald Trump’s decisive election victory was about many things: a global rejection of incumbents, a rise in the Republican electorate and a battle for the future of America’s democracy. But voters consistently and repeatedly said issue No. 1 this election was the economy. That explains a lot about why Trump was reelected. By several major metrics, the US economy is on fire, the envy of the rest of the world. But Americans still viewed it unfavorably, and a significant number of voters blame President Joe Biden and Trump’s opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, for failing to make enough improvements to Americans’ financial situations over the past four years. Poll after poll suggested that Americans hold largely negative views about the US economy.   That’s because economic sentiment doesn’t always match up nicely with data that shows the economy is adding jobs, consumer spending is growing and gross domestic product — the broadest measure of the economy — continues to boom. When you pay through the nose for a cup of coffee or when you can’t afford to buy a home, those data are meaningless: You feel shut out of the American Dream.

Hokey , Please stop repeating BS . TOTAL IGNORANCE OF GLOBAL ECONOMEYS , this was the USA election not a global event , the USA is clinging on by it's fingers to stay  top of the heap all Trump want's to do is make sure it stays top. The only measure that's flying in the USA is the share market which has very little to do with the average working  American. Wars, Trumps record on that is impeccable last time around he called the bombers back when he thought it was an over reaction . Tariffs , the dems left his previous tariffs in place and  new ones which there might be plenty will be refunded to the population via tax cuts effectively zero rated for Americans . Project 25 , nothing to do with Trump, you are listening to more dem BS . And if you really want to know what helped Trump retain his popularity and win it was the regular persecution by the courts far to many Americans realize this was a straight out political vendetta using the justice system to destroy an opponent , it kept the focus on Trump and highlighted injustice .    Don't know if Trump is good for NZ or not but he will be for the USA .

I'm sure your generosity will be acknowledged when they send your Xmas card😀
