Ladies and Gentlemen this is a classic example of projection. Psychological projection is a defense mechanism people subconsciously employ in order to cope with difficult feelings or emotions. Psychological projection involves projecting undesirable feelings or emotions onto someone else, rather than admitting to or dealing with the unwanted feelings.

I'm a little bit worried about you. Can we provide support services?

I should have wrote that in the sarcasm font.

Well they don't according to your statistics they have a 66% greater chance of injury if they make contact with the rail.

I didn't back him because your gut told you he was injured.

Seemed to run OK.

Labour are getting really desperate now. Even their own polls are telling them that.

Didn't realise Muller was Justice Minister and deliberately crashed his car and ran away.

How's Kiri?

I think you are having one of these:

I thought the sentence was quite succinct and unambiguous. Phenylbutazone isn't a prohibited substance if below the following levels: 4.2.2. Phenylbutazone at a mass concentration of 100.0 micrograms per litre in plasma. That is a very very low level which is reached 5 days after administration of the normal dose. As you know I've long argued that they should release the detailed results for any positive returned. However they are reluctant to do that as it will increase the debate about what are performance enhancing levels when it is easier just to have zero and ignore environmental contamination.

Note the total Government Bonds on issue have more than doubled since September 2017.

You really are economical with the truth. Robertson gave the RB access to a wider range of AMP tools and then put pressure on them to use them. Not to mention the infinite loop of Treasury issuing Government Bonds and the Reserve Bank having to buy them to keep control of inflation and interest rates. Although the Reserve Bank has stopped purchasing the Treasury hasn't stopped issuing bonds. So much for independence: Since March, the Reserve Bank had been printing tens of billions of dollars and pumping it into the economy using something called LSAP (Large-Scale Asset Purchases). The LSAP worked; New Zealand's unemployment rate of 4.9 per cent is well below where economists feared it might be. But the LSAP has had some negative side effects too. Asset purchases have pushed interest rates down, unleashing a wave of cheap lending that has sent the housing market rocket to record highs in the midst of a global recession. Robertson had initially been sceptical of the link between the Bank’s money printing and high house prices, but the Reserve Bank letter marked the point at which Robertson officially acknowledged that not only was the Bank’s money printing having an effect on the housing market, but that he and the Bank should work together and do something about it. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/300223358/reserve-bank-repeatedly-warned-government-money-printing-would-lead-to-house-price-inflation https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/300166483/grant-robertson-writes-to-reserve-bank-saying-its-time-to-think-about-house-prices

Has it helped turnover?

Really? Obviously you didn't keep up with Borrow and Print Robertson or turned a socialist blind eye. Read the two documents attached. How independent under this Labour Government is the Reserve Bank? BTW the $30 billion didn't last long as a target. March-2020-Memorandum-of-Understanding-regarding-the-use-of-alternative-monetary-policy-tools.pdf 21-March-2020-Letter-from-the-Reserve-Bank-to-the-Minister-of-Finance-requesting-an-indemnity.pdf

You don't understand markets - we all realise this. We know the majority of the population don't bet on horses however the majority of the population do gamble. The subset that do bet on racing is large enough to ignore the animal activists.

Yet you saying "John Key did it" does? With a very limited toolset to achieve their targets which Borrow and Print Robertson further stuffed up with his QE memorandum. The ANZ said this morning that Labour flooding the market with Government Bonds is going to keep interest rates high and probably increase for longer than anticipated. Cost to the taxpayer in Government interest repayments is going tobe a lot higher than the $17m per day it is now. Fair call for the next Government to blame Labour for this mess!

Perhaps you should stick to spreadsheet analysis rather than relying on your gut......seconds thoughts probably not.

Why pacify a minority most of whom don't bet and want racing stopped completely. Sufficient numbers in the market to ignore them.

You said you had only two 6 packs! The first race at Hastings is midday - the last at Moonee Valley is 7:25pm. 12 x 330ml cans over 7 hours......not enough!

If he is an "investigative journalist" what is he doing "speculating"? Rubbish. Are you saying NO toxicology tests were undertaken? Also that such tests would have departed from the normal testing protocols? That is tested for less? To quote the RIB: "Autopsies on the horses, by three separate veterinarians, showed each died from different forms of heart failure, the summary said. The findings were reviewed by another veterinarian. Samples taken from the three horses returned clear results for prohibited substances."

Here's the thing. @Archie Butterfly links a recent bute positive to the previous deaths inferring that it was the cause. If it was then why didn't the toxicology reports from the autopsies find evidence of bute? BTW bute isn't a PED - it relieves pain but doesn't make a horse 5 seconds faster. @Archie Butterfly is a fraud.

Because the RIB has more leaks than my mums colander!!!

If he's an "investigative racing journalist" then I'm a Group 1 Trainer!!!! Most of what he writes is pure speculation and defamatory. Anything accurate he has copied from somewhere else.
