    • Statement from The Thoroughbred Report   Three independent racing publications, including The Thoroughbred Report, have recently received correspondence from Peter V’landys’ and/or Racing NSW’s legal counsel in response to reporting on governance matters within the New South Wales thoroughbred racing industry.https://bitofayarn.com We want to make one point unequivocally clear: responsible journalism must not be met with legal intimidation. Independent media exists to scrutinise powerful institutions and hold them to account, even if critical of leadership. That role is essential to the health and integrity of any industry.https://bitofayarn.com Australia’s implied freedom of political communication protects the media’s ability to discuss matters of governance and public interest. Trying to intimidate journalists through legal threats is fundamentally inconsistent with that protection. When this happens, the message extends far beyond the newsroom. It tells trainers, owners, breeders, employees, and concerned participants that speaking up carries risk. It creates fear and encourages silence. And it erodes the culture of openness on which trust depends. Governance is strengthened, not weakened, by transparency, independent oversight, and constructive conversation. An industry cannot function with confidence if those tasked with informing its community are suppressed. It cannot claim transparency while simultaneously attempting to intimidate its critics. And it cannot expect public trust if its default response to scrutiny is to threaten those who provide it.https://bitofayarn.com We remain open to receiving and incorporating all perspectives at any time. However, our efforts to engage and seek information have routinely received no reply. We will continue to remain open to dialogue from every participant, as open communication is essential to meaningful understanding and positive change.https://bitofayarn.com We will not be deterred and remain committed to responsible journalism.

    • So what Clubs are inhibited by race dates?  I'm not sure you understand wagering. it wouldn't be of value to the industry as a whole and the Reefton track couldn't sustain 12 race days. @Huey you keep saying I don't know but you never post anything factual or of substance.  Just anecdotal and generalised.  At least the financial accounts of each Club give some facts.  Unless Clubs are deriving revenue from other activities than just racedays they are not earning enough to maintain their assets.  That's an immutable fact.   What Club?  Provide some evidence about the "NZTR Club" you refer to.  Is this your mythical mafia?  Provides some facts!!!  
    • No rules are most clubs are giving it a go , what you fail to understand though is the importance of race dates for clubs , most everything flows from there , you'd understand better with a bit of experience on a committee. You cannot ascertain a proper analysis in club land without understanding how it all works. If yuoure in the NZTR club you have every opportunity to suceed , if youre not then your part of the agenda driven plan to ensure its made as difficult as possible for your club to suceed. You cannot get a good understanding of the system just by reading Financial Statements , its a far deeper situation than that. TBH I don't think you will ever understand it unless youre actually involved in it, you need to open your mind more @Chief Stipe . They most certainly should have access to some race dates like alot of other clubs do ... absolutely ... why not? I agree, but I do not hold this against you. You just do not know , so of course youre going to jump on the misinformation band wagon when thats all you know about.
    • The weather forecast says it will and it is raining as predicted in most places.  Rotorua was going to be a Twilight meeting and the weather forecast has 40mm plus thunderstorms right in the middle of when the weather was hitting. At least they made a decision early.
