You and facts are clearly not related IMHO especially where TA are involved but each to their own Doug. BTW , how are you and Howie getting on these days? -
They are up and coming trainers for sure . However I would like to know what Te Akau's strike rate is with the number of starters compared to their winners . Everyone seems to only look at KM night . What they forget is how much they paid for some of their horses and how the rest of the stable has feared . I am sure trainers like Roger James . Stephen Marsh , Ken Kelso etc have better strike rates on horses that have been purchased for less -
Love the turnover comparison. So last year the three day carnival included a Feature meeting on Karaka Million Day. This year that day was run by Wanganui with poor fields. This year Marton Cup day is one of the three days of the carnival (last year held at Hastings). So your not comparing like with like. But don't let the facts get in the way of a good story! -

Jan 6 patriots , compare Trumps pardons to Bidens , A man convicted in the killing of an 8-year-old boy and his mother in Bridgeport in 1999 has been granted clemency by now former president Joe Biden, and many more like this , add to this the Biden family being pardoned for what ???, reeks of corruption . Justice department , not unreasonable , More than a dozen officials who worked on the criminal investigations into Donald Trump have been fired “You played a significant role in prosecuting President Trump. The proper functioning of government critically depends on the trust of superior officials place in their subordinates,” McHenry wrote. “Given your significant role in prosecuting the President, I do not believe that the leadership of the Department can trust you to assist in implementing the President’s agenda faithfully.” NOT UNREASONABLE . Trump keeps on winning -

I don't think it's the tracks that hold the liquor licence - it's whatever the entity running the show on the day can obtain for the occasion -

Definitely raced there but probably stopped for the same reason as others .... Cambridge and Auckland wanting to race at their own tracks after the amalgamations occurred. -

Yes very strong result by SOS. Left strong types. Early days but he may become the go to sire to kick off a mare. -
Have you seen how many Liquor Licenses have been objected to in Auckland? They have also reduced the number of hours liquor is available for sale at Supermarkets - no liquor sales after 9pm. Remember there's been "spin" to promote Zero Alcohol by a group of University associates in the last 2-3 years... Alcohol is not Alcohol if it's Zero Alcohol. It shows how much The Prohibitionists have been in control of our Governments as "Advisors" creating a Lop-sided society. -
Tree Reduction? Don't they get it people like to congregate under the trees and have a picnic at the races? We are mortified with what's happening at Trentham Yet another Racecourse decimated. Do they know anything about Grandstands these people? Have they not woken up to the New Stand at Ellerslie and rough shod work there and it's still covered in part in plastic? Don't break what's not broken.

NZ is lagging way behind with ensuring AI legislation, read the UK and European AI legislation for advanced knowledge. It's always needed Human Agents and is a legal requirements. We had a scan in PPNZ of Artificial intelligence some time ago and there was serious concerns as to using it as far back as the 1950's - 1960's. It's a group of Computer boffins / Science Society tied in with Marvin Minsky, Donald Michie and the 1950's descendents who have imposed AI on to us as they were pushing this s+#& up hill back then. Michie's daughter who is a "psychologist / Behavior Scientist" and overseeing "The Human Behavior Project" has been funded in the majority by IBM since the 1970's to the tune of around £90 million across the course of her career. She's always harping on about "Machine Learning" and one has to question if she's merely lining Bank Of Michie - yes they go back in history, with her spin. Donald used to travel between the UK and USA as did a number of New Zealand "academics" tied in with computers. It pays to see who is operating in the background with there Agendas.

A pile of Hyperbole. I can just see the Committee Room after Cup Day. The idiots downing Gin and Tonics and slapping each other on the back saying how well they have done -

If they are reading this, sign me up to take all the AI efforts as a starter, quality check and humanise them -would cost 5/8ths of FA and make a big difference 🙂 -
It was hilarious following their comments on the well-publicised 4-horse race at Ellerslie two Saturday's back. They were completely rewritten during the week - maybe after comments here on RC, who knows? - so they obviously have access to more than one source? Or maybe they got a human in to rewrite that one? Like most, l don't rely on their comments either, but as l only casually follow the sport, never watching mid-week racing outside of the Melbourne Cup etc, this all equates to a lot of Saturday racing - outside of the Premier-type meetings - l don't have a bet on as I'm largely unfamiliar with the horses. Once in a blue moon l might watch a preview show, but there are so many of them - if you include local and Australian, gallops and harness - I'd never stay awake long enough to take it all in 🤣. Therefore the sort of comments they post, largely just expanding out their own data that is available to everybody anyway, adds nothing. and that's annoying. They don't deserve our support. It doesn't take long to work out their comments are 95% rubbish. -
Lily had a shocker on Brynderwyn. Had no hope from back there but they did run 1.22 so perhaps not wet enough. He will keep. Coulthard another with not much luck either. -
I confess I didn’t but the 1986 Japan Cup form takes me back to the days before the emergence of Japan as a racing superpower. A British 1-2 with JUPITER ISLAND ridden by Pat Eddery held off ALLEZ MILORD ridden by Greville Starkey. Eddery and Starkey were two of a golden period of UK and Irish riders in the 1980s but both gone as are Walter Swinburn and Lester Piggott. Of that period, only Willie Carson and the American Steve Cauthen are still with us - in a way it marked the transition between the traditional jockeys of old and the athletes and media savvy riders of today such as Dettori and currently the likes of William Buick, Oisin Murphy and Tom Marquand.
