    • A lot of old favourites have gone into decline. Workingmens Clubs ...only 3 x left in South Island now ,and bowls clubs started folding too before they saw they needed things to change ! Horse racing is so bloody boring , always was but little else to follow and it was all you old dogs could bet on ,a half decent double could get you a deposit on a house ! Rare today ,and the young ones much prefer to dabble on Sports. And participants love to blame the admin folk but it wasn't them who behaved badly and got the industry such a bad rating among the general public !
    • It was infiltrated by a bunch of no hopers who haven't a shroud of real interest in the sport, that was the first problem, then it let them make decisions and finally let them proliferate with the old deadwood of the sport and it's been a sticky slope ever since. 
    • Very Interesting Chief  What do you make of the fact that “Other Revenue” vanished right after Nairn left—was that tied to her personally? Here’s Arcano at Becks Nairn property. He should have remained with the charity to complete his training. Instead, Nairn saw an opportunity to make a quick buck by charging Kirsty a weekly rate for his schooling and getting him ready for the show ring. That’s a conflict of interest, no question. There’s even a photo of Nairn riding training Arcano, with Kirsty praising her. Then she dissected him—$395 a head, maybe 10 people watching. That’s $3,950 gross for telling a story with questionable accuracy. And then she profited off him again on her Patreon page. Didn’t she do well out of Arcano? That’s not just a coincidence. That’s a pattern.
    • At the expense of the gullible?   Her opinions may or may not hurt any one individual but they do hurt the industry.  Why does there need to be any feedback on Arcano?  Fraudalent false information and dodgy science is worse than no feedback.   Therein you make a good point but staying silent about or trying to justify Nairns right to make false unfounded allegations does the racing industry considerable harm.  So I applaud anyone who publically in a very articulate manner shows her for what she is.  A fraud that makes money out of dissecting horses and who is anti-racing.   I haven't shut anyone down.  Nor am I hiding behind moderation unlike one forum owner who closes down anyone who he thinks make him look stupid.  Which quite frankly isn't hard to do.   On internet social media it is easy to find a group that will agree with you but very hard to find an open forum where you can robustly debate the issues.   I'd quite happily debate Nairn on a forum as I'm sure @Steven B would but she hides and shuts down opinion who doesn't agree with her. As for her rehoming horses she seems more intent on euthanising them so she can profit from dissecting them!   Exactly - yet many posters are intent on creating the impression there ARE conspiracies.  Often they don't present any facts to support their innuendo, supposition and inferences.
