    • No wonder we still have one of the highest rates of violent aggression if you've been 'sorting it out' with a "long history" The FACT that Mudhoo had maintained his length and another length (the rule) for the entire race, according to stipes, shows Silly Billy was bullying this apprentice in the run Senior jockeys bullying apprentices is rife through the years The race in which Megan Taylor died showed yet another example Before the race senior jockey Chadhoorey asked Denby-Rose what her tactics were (something that should be banned) and upon finding out told her to "stay clear of me" Entering the straight he then shouted her name 3 times...perhaps this resulted in her panicking.. soon after Megan Taylor met her deadly fate with Denby-Rose being charged with careless riding Bullying, riding horses into other horses after the race, striking other jockeys et el ...has NO PLACE on a race course no matter how laissez faire you want to be Silly Billy deserves at least 3 months DQ but he'll probably get 6 weeks thanks to sops like you  
    • You model fails on several levels.  As for it "working" twenty years ago - that is a myth.  I don't understand why you keep perpetuating it. The fact is there wasn't enough money twenty years ago to fully fund track maintenance and rennovation.  It was deferred and deferred until the track systems have failed.
    • Why? Can't you just reduce stakes to a level that provides sufficient additional revenue for infrastructure. That's how it worked until 20 years ago.
    • That's the flaw in the whole business model.  There isn't enough revenue from wagering and there is unlikely to be at least in the next 10 years to fund the Stakes and Capital wants of the Industry.  In fact there never has been enough revenue from wagering to fund ALL the racecourse maintenance AND stakes.   Clubs cannot rely on wagering to fund themselves.  They need supplementary and complementary sources of revenue - particularly the latter.
    • A shocking piece of dangerous 'riding' from Pinn The stipes are as weak as Aussie piss here Should've been charged with FOUL riding after elbowing Fawcett in the chest let alone outside arm I've got very good screenshots of this action but due to the Chief's lack of... ...FREE SPEECH... ...I'm unable to show it after being banned from doing so
