Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakarere a Clare Balding i te Grand National ki te manaaki i te Whakataetae poti. Ka whakarere a Clare Balding i te Grand National i te marama e whai ake nei, hei manaaki i te Whakataetae Peke, nā te mea koinei te wā tuatahi ka whakaurua te whakataetae wahine. Ko te ra o te whakataetae rowing Oxford-Cambridge e pa ana ki te kaupapa Aintree, kua 21 tau ia e whakaatu ana. Ko te kaiwhakaari toa Bafta, 44, i korero ki te Racing Post: "I mohio ahau kaore e taea e au te mahi i te Grand National na te Whakataetae poti. 'Kāore au i noho puku mō taku pono ki ngā hākinakina a ngā wāhine, ā, hei te tau e whai ake nei ka tino hītori te wā, nā te mea ka whakaatahia te Women's Boat Race ki runga pouaka whakaata mō te wā tuatahi. 'Kua hiahia ahau ki te mahi i ngā whakataetae e rua, engari ahakoa kua pānuitia e au ngā whakataetae nui 21 kua hipa, kāore au i pānuitia te Rōti Peke Wahine. I whakaaro ahau e kore e taea e au te mea i nga mea katoa e korero ana ahau mo nga wahine i roto i te hākinakina, a kaore i reira i te wa tuatahi ka puta nga wahine i runga i te awa. Inanahi ko tētahi o ōna kaiwhaiwhai Twitter, ko Kev Doolan, i tuhituhi: <unk>E kore tonu e taea te whakapono kei te mahi koe i te Whakataetae Peke i runga i te Grand National #deserter.<unk> Ka whakahokia e ia: <unk>Mo te rekoata, kaore te Grand National e hiahia ki taku awhina, ko te hakinakina wahine.<unk> Whai muri i te kī a Mr Doolan kua pouri ia i tana wehenga atu i te Grand National i muri i ngā tau 21 nā te mea he kaituku kōrero pai ia, ka tāpiri atu ia: "He tino atawhai koe, engari he kapa tino pai te C4 ā, kāore au i te whakaaro ka mōhio koe kāore au i reira. A e whakapono ana ahau i ētahi wā me mahi koe i tētahi mea e kore e tūmanakohia kia mārama ai koe. Ko taku take he mea nui te hākinakina a ngā wāhine. I tāpiri atu ia: "He kapa tino pai tēnei, ā, kāore au i te whakaaro ka mōhio koe kāore au i reira". E whakapono ana ahau i ētahi wā me mahi koe i tētahi mea e kore e tūmanakohia kia mārama ai koe. Ko taku take he mea nui te hākinakina a ngā wāhine. Kua roa a Miss Balding e tautoko ana i te hākinakina a ngā wāhine, ā, e whakapono ana kua kaha ake te aro ki ngā kaitākaro wahine i ngā tau tata nei. I kii ia ki te Independent i te tau kua hipa: "I whakaaro ahau, ina koa mai i Ranana 2012, ko te hiahia mo nga momo hakinakina wahine kei reira mai i te iwi. E hiahia ana ratou, e whakaipoipo ana, ā, kei te whakaaro ahau...
