    • Posted this on another Topic: Well they need to find capital from somewhere to fix Trentham.  In my opinion that is a sink hole. Few realise that if it wasn't for substantial interest free capital lent by the local councils to the Wellington Stadium Trust that venue would run at a loss.  So given the number of events held at that venue how do they expect Trentham that holds 12 race meetings a year (no trials, no jumpouts, no horse training revenue) and limited non-racing facilities for functions expect to make a profit?

    • So was the reason that NZTR gave them an award, so they could say how great they are and we don't need Levin because we have this wonderful club in Masterton, hence it adds to their narrative to shut Levin, this is typical corporate bullshit tricks that i am sure the New CEO is more than happy to employ.  
    • If this is true that they are trying to sell Levin it is a disgrace. For sometime now i have been concerned that Winston Peters is a wolf in sheep's clothing, he plays up he is all for the little guy and he is racings best friend when in fact his party has been funded by certain very wealthy racing people who have no concern for the rank and file they are just rich breeders who wish to get richer by inflating stakes anyway they can including selling up community based race clubs so they can sell their yearlings for ever increasing profit. This Minister is a complete sham, closing Greyhounds, increasing Entains monopoly to include online, allowing NZTR to strip community clubs, letting the RIB costs get out of control ( I believe they have 3 large offices now ChCh, Wellington and Auckland, plus highly paid corporate roles being created left right and centre. All of these things are hurting the rank and file. Millions and Millions are being pissed away by mediocre management across the racing industry, they will continue to come for community assets as they are able to shit all over the little guy and continually paint it like its all the little guys fault.
