  1. Didn't realise they closed down the Event Centre as well. Where did they earn the $11.4m in catering revenue from for 2023?
  2. Today we have races from.......wait for it....that epitome of thoroughbred horse racing.... RIO DE JANEIRO - Brazil
  3. 😆 🤣 😂 what's it like being wrong so often? Is it miserable?
  4. Not for Kumara.
  5. Yep. But why not open the doors instead of making it exclusive?
  6. Isn't that mainly Entains problem?
  7. I actually don't delete anything. What's your problem O'Brien? Life's too short to be so grumpy forever!
  8. But you're more likely to get a champion if you breed with champions. Eight Carat may have been slow on the track but she was quite well bred and nicked with Sir Tristram and Zabeel. Her dynasty is immense and still influential.
  9. But you clearly didn't - that's why I posted it for you!!! As I said I can't be bothered wasting my time trying to educate you.
  10. Don't you think that Thoroughbred racing is getting disproportionately more funding than the other codes? I'm not knocking Entain although I can't see where the money is coming from for them to make anywhere near a profit. You can't keep buying revenue. My opinions of Mckenzie have been posted many times and none of them were favourable.
  11. When I listed the duties of a Chairman of a Board.
  12. Eight Carat produced a dynasty of flukes. The majority of champion performers are well bred. There are exceptions but I don't know anyone who specialises in breeding duds by duds from duds.
  13. You should excuse the cynicism amongst many who have seen this all before. Remember the 10 x $1m races? Remember the TAB bailout? But what is being done to address the fundamental issues? Three AWT tracks that no one wants and a Strathayr at Ellerslie. Meanwhile every other main track is stuffed. I'd rather have a surface that provided fair racing and was safe for my horses than more novelty races.
  14. Why close the doors?
  15. Tried once with you. Wouldn't waste anymore of my time.
  16. So? What part did he play in the announcement or the decision making? I'd suggest zilch.
  17. What part did Winston have in this? PLEASE EXPLAIN.
  18. You "notice" how and what?
  19. I've got my eye on another.
  20. Yep as far as I'm concerned the more robust the debate is about racing and sport the better.
  21. Good idea @curious! Will sort that out shortly.
  22. Pay "the annual fees" - $450,000. Hardly free. Why didn't Reefton @Reefton, Kumara or Ruakaka get a "free" slot?
  23. Yep a cross between a rat and a kangaroo! See a life-sized animal! Search {ENTITY_NAME} on Google and tap 'View in 3D'. https://www.google.com/search?q=Quokka&hl=en-NZ&stick=H4sIAAAAAAAAAFPi1M_VNzBMy41Pe8Rowi3w8sc9YSntSWtOXmNU5eIKzsgvd80rySypFBLnYoOyeKW4uRC6eBaxsgWW5mdnJwIACsavIUsAAAA
  24. Prove it. Regardless what does my credibility have with anyone wanting to post their opinions on BOAY? You don't need any credibility to post here. What's more you can fire as much abuse the way of the forums convenor and you're still allowed to post. Try that on the other channel. Just this week I heard from someone wanting to come back here because they were sick and tired of being moderated for daring to criticise the opinions of the head dog. As for Noodlum - prove it!
