A Hypothetical Question of Some Importance
Chief Stipe replied to Chief Stipe's topic in Galloping Chat
Well hypothetically assuming it was to do with that person - would the associated drama be worth it? BTW I am inclined to agree with his assessment of the RIU. Well perhaps not his extreme approach. -
Race Two of the Covid-19 Wage Subsidy Racing Sweepstakes
Chief Stipe replied to Chief Stipe's topic in Galloping Chat
I see to date only Harness Racing New Zealand has taken advantage of the second tranche of the wage subsidy. RITA, RIU, NZTR haven't. -
Hypothetical Question: If one has been approached by someone to give evidence on another that shows the person to have committed perjury and possibly fraud does one hand it over? Morally it would be the right thing to do but the associated noise and angst may well be intolerable.

I wouldn't worry too much Freda. Even if Labour gets in with the help of the Greens the shit will hit the fan either later this year or early next. In that regard that is going to be an issue for whoever is in power. I wouldn't count on your AWT being built anytime soon. Unless the CJC does the right thing and relocates.

Not far off the mark there.

Why don't they have a no hopers grade for those that have filled a place in 20 starts or more? Then they only get in each other's way and you have a good betting race. Just imagine trying to do the speed maps!

Na Midget has a brain but his literary style is unique. I know Molloy from past experience frequently uses the others account. As for the other fat ex jockey I wouldn't be surprised if Molloy has put dosh back in again. All quite pitiful really.

I thought this new TAB betting system and the change in legislation allowed the NZ TAB to provide these sorts of books? Quite frankly it would be more interesting than the Nicaraguan Baseball League.
-
Actually I bet there is a lot going on over there at Channel X. Anyone noticed any threads or posts go missing?

I see he is posting under Midgets account again.

Joe I suggest you and Winnie get around a bottle whiskey and share your conspiracy theories amongst yourselves. Winnie said this morning - "There are 1.4 billion people in China who are desperate for our supplies.... There is every reason for the regime to be mindful of that." Really Winnie? What supplies would they be? Can't be food because we only produce an excess to feed 15 million. Can't be oil because the Princess won't let us find it. Mmmm can you help Joe?
-
Whatever. You must be getting old and senile and forgetting history. Everyone flexed their muscles in 1989 and it didn't change racing. It's mostly posturing. Winnie is a xenophobe from a way back and he is looking to drum up votes. When was the Extradition treaty last used anyway! We won't be getting into a trade war with China. FFS how are we going to pay off all the debt this Government has borrowed!

I thought Waverley had been shut down. In my opinion this is good. I've been promoting the shifting of meetings based on track conditions for years. Highlights why we shouldn't close them all down.
-
Unfortunately I'm not in Auckland at the moment so it would be an effort to get there. I'm happy to post a recording or even live stream it if someone is going. Quite frankly I can't think of anyone I know in Auckland that would be interested in the slightest.

From my perspective the issue is bigger than just one horse. We are worried about integrity in the industry and animal welfare but the system allows a rising 7 yr old gelding to turn up week after week with no chance of either giving a punter, the owner, the trainer or the quality of a race a positive outcome. Isn't that the reall issue? As a racing jurisdiction we are slipping further and further into a backwater. FFS there are enough RIU and Industry Admin staff to address these issues and try and get some quality back into racing.

He must be in one of his manic states. I'd only go to the hearing for the entertainment value. As it stands I think both sides are as despicable as each other I wonder if he will take something to stand on. He'll pontificate in long speeches which will have no references to any legal principle or precedent. The JCA will give him some time then close him down and then he'll spout on about Human Rights etc. In that regard I agree with Bob Jones's recent opinion - there are no Human Rights.

You might need to have a lie down.

Lost in translation.

The Spitfire has obviously been better educated.

I thinking more along the lines of why it is allowed to start by both HRNZ and the Stipes.
