To be honest CS, racing administration has bought on a lot of the opprobrium it gets through the mismanagement of the projects it takes on. Delay in addressing Hastings, problems with the Awapuni track, the development at Alexandra Park that went belly up, even Ellerslie's new track in the early stages, and other issues to do with the allocation of spending and programming
You could be well excused for coming to the conclusion that the people in charge are not very competent.
I don't know the reasons why these things go wrong, social media is not reliable in giving you an accurate picture
Anyway back to Mr Botherway. It's not like the running of racing in NZ has a whole heap of runs on the board, so they need to stop digging holes for themselves. Issuing this guy a trainers license for example may have not been to the liking of some, but he was offered a job as an adjudicator on integrity, which as I have said before is not appropriate because his own integrity is in question
Racing admin needs to stop shooting itself in the foot if it wants to be respected by the industry it administers. You can't keep defending a regime that does not help itself, and that is what you are doing
Sorry why is this guy a "piece of shit"? The Law Society don't consider his crime to be as serious as you infer. He was watching porn on his computer in his office of the company he was the sole proprietor of. His staff caught sight of snippets for six years and then complained to the Law Society. Obviously when they had finally decided to leave. He copped the punishment and has served the penalty.
Alleged drug positives. Sorry I'm not privy to the full rum medicated discussions at the Racecourse Hotel.
As for employing those with a record of sexual abuse? It can't be this person who is the subject of this Topic as they haven't committed any sexual abuse let alone been convicted of it.
I note that the RIB employee referred to in this Topic is now free to practice law with his suspension having been completed. The penalty was very low in severity which is commensurate with the indiscretion.
But no let the sanctimonious preach holier than thou...
I see the journalist has scored yet another headline with the person in quesion being suspended from rugby referring. I guess there was a real risk that he would look at his laptop during an injury break. No wonder the All Blacks are stuffed!
I wouldnt put money in the pool so that their people can bet irresponsibly in contrast to the TAB’s slogan, Bet Responsibly!
If it was their personal money they were spending then they would not be gambling like they do on the show!
And yet, others get limited to net what I consider a miserley amount?
The hypocrisy is appalling!
