Thanx Mr ed. Lance sir, and SPORTING POST for this replay.
How the hell the 4 or 5 boys (barring the BARRIER CRASHER's jock) stayed in their saddles 200m or so from the stalls... shows the the QUALITY of our Jockey Academy's training.
Excellent...thank you ALL ROUND.

Well done Kelly
Trainers in general are a little nervy to speak out
Obviously they scared off the powerful NHA comebacks
How can this be correct.
Trust the Stipes employed by the current NHA
Happy Weekend Punting

TC02 Testing – Trainer Calls For More Transparency
Every one is in support of compliance to level the playing field but all this is negated by there being no verifiable, unbiased witnessing of the results. Trust is a two way street. Without the trainer or their staff being able to confirm the results the process is bunk.
It opens up the possibility of ulterior

Congratulations to the Strydom familie, nice to see Oom Hekkie
Aah I bet Jacques loves the Poly
Personally, in Afr sê ons .
" Ek het my gat gesien " But like GHJ say, that's racing, "they" got us
No no don't blame the poly for the the P6 shortfall.1,8M + pool is not bad for a PE Friday with lots racing coming up over this weekend
Until the Bookies share P6 figure bets this isn't bad
Mr Editor, your heading deserved the Original Surfing song (attached)

TC02 Testing – Trainer Calls For More Transparency
"As the season progresses, the NHA state that they remain committed to maintaining the highest standards of transparency and testing integrity". Kelly has a valid point. How "transparent" is it when the actual reading on the device is a secret? The connections must trust the word of the NHRA Representative.
What audit procedure is in place to a) verify the reading b) record the reading c) ensure the reading is correct?
Another issue is the calibration accuracy of the equipment. How often is the equipment checked and what "transparent" record is maintained such as date checked and what the test outcome was. It is crucial that this information is recorded and publicly available if its use and the NHRA is to be
