The Treaty of Waiting principles might not be clearly defined and up for continuing debate, but the last person you want defining them is David Seymour.
He's one smug prick, pandering to his 8% voter base and now he's stirred up a hornets nest.
No one will end up happy and the country will be more divided.
And what do they look like now .
If it was a one off then I would have no issue but this is just becoming part of the NZ racing DNA .
Something has to change .
The horse wasn't denied a fair start by an outside influence, so no late scratching for mine. Yes it reared before the gates opened, but not by enough time for anyone to alert the starter and stop him from pushing the button.
No dont agree...I think if they were seen to be proactive and that happened people would of been understanding...like the New Plymouth meeting a while back.JMO
Joyride will be in the Aces diamond (previously known as the Jewels) on 29th November. The bookies are asleep at the wheel on that race. They have not quoted her for that race., meanwhile they quote several fillies that have no path to getting in the field.
Because Metservice isnt always correct,as we seen at Riccarton last Friday/saturday.Imagine if they cancelled Trentham yesterday and only got 1/4 inch I stead of 2 inches they got.Wouldnt they look stupid.
Cant really blame starter as happened so quick,everything looked good then starter has split second decision to make,but as a punter imo never got a fair start so should have been a scratching.Bet if it was a Pitman horse all hell would have broken loose,and rightfully so.Poor look on Riccarto s biggest week.
Might as well have a stab as well
