Chief Stipe

I'm hoping Comic Dog does sue me. Disclosure time will be really really interesting and trust me it won't be all one way traffic. As yet I haven't had any complaints under the Harmful Digital Communications Act. Makes me laugh that those two are trying to take the moral high ground. That is way out of reach for both their statures. The truth is always the best defence.

The New Act: 40Rules controlling or prohibiting admission to racecourses (1) This section applies to any racecourse on a day during which racing is being held on that racecourse, whether or not it is, or forms part of, a reserve or other place for which there exists a right of public use or entry. (2) Subject to any enactment and the general law of New Zealand, racing rules may include separate rules controlling or prohibiting the admission of persons to any racecourse used by racing clubs registered with the racing code that made the rules. (3) The rules may exclude any specified class (or classes) of persons from entering a racecourse, either absolutely or subject to any special conditions that may be set out in the rules. (4) However, subsection (3) applies only to the extent that it is reasonably necessary for the purpose of maintaining public confidence in— (a) the conduct of racing; and (b) the integrity of racing betting. (5) Rules made under this section do not come into force until they have been approved by the Minister and published on an Internet site maintained by or on behalf of the relevant racing code. (6) A person who breaches any rule made under this section may be removed from the racecourse by any of the following persons: (a) a stipendiary steward or a racing investigator: (b) a member, officer, agent, or employee of the racing club or of the racing code with which the racing club is registered: (c) a constable.

I notice that NZTR hasn't got round to updating their rules of racing yet. Maybe the little one could get off on a technicality. The old Act: 34Rules controlling or prohibiting admission to racecourses (1) This section applies to any racecourse on the day during which racing is being held on that racecourse, whether or not it is, or forms part of, a reserve or other place for which there exists a right of public use or entry. (2) Subject to any enactment and the general law of New Zealand, racing rules may include separate rules controlling or prohibiting the admission of persons to any racecourse used by racing clubs registered with the racing code that made the rules. (3) Rules made under this section do not come into force until they have been approved by the Minister and published in the Gazette. (4) The rules may exclude any specified class or classes of person from entering a racecourse, either absolutely or subject to any special conditions, that may be set out in the rules. (5) However, subsection (4) applies only to the extent that it is reasonably necessary for the purpose of maintaining public confidence in— (a) the conduct of horse racing; and (b) the integrity of racing betting.

I've always wondered why no one has every challenged a warning off in court. In my mind freedom of association is a basic right. If they enforced this rule then there would be hardly anyone left on course.

Comic Dog has played the lawyer card on me before when I set up BOAY. He made some outlandish and false claims. I showed the letter I received to a prominent lawyer friend of mine who just laughed and said it was standard bluster. Comic Dog is all piss and wind. As for the other fella has he actually ever won a case?

The first scrap will be over the revenue split.

He is an Owner. I think that gives them jurisdiction. I know it does in Australia. Also they have the power to ban anyone they like from a racecourse.

Yeah na. I'm in their sights not SLB. I will not be bullied. SLB can sit back an watch.

I'm happy to let you both post here if you let me post there. Let's go head to head! Honesty gets double points!

Rule Number(s): Rule 869(2)(a) and use of whip regulationsThis charge arises from the running of Race 2, the Noel Taylor Hall of Fame Mobile Pace 2200. An Information was filed by the Senior Stipendiary Steward Mr Muirhead alleging Licensed Open Horseman; Mr T Macfarlane breached Rule 869(2)(a) in that he used his whip on more occasions than permitted over ...

Ok. Who is the low grub?

Explain?

Chill. We've got your back. It's time to end this bullshit.

Bring it on. Thats what I say. They threaten people with lawyers and expect them to lie down. Not any more. You short arse ex jockeys of little skill bring it on. I'm ready - see you in the ring!

And a poorer one?

So it was Comic Dog's lawyer that contacted you? Just tell them you asked for it to be taken down but the owner of the site declined. I see he is calling me a loser. Not sure which of life's races he is referring to.

Then WTF post it in the first place!

If you read the full report he received a discount for good behaviour off 3 months.

Why?

You have nothing to worry about SLB2.0. Redirect their lawyers to me if you will. Thanks.

SLB2.0 has been threatened by lawyers. I've asked SLB2.0 to reconsider. My experience with these two it is all bullshit and bluster.

He got off lightly with only six weeks.

There time will come. But McKenzie is a hypocrite.

I hear the Comic Dog has lept to his defence.

Quote: got away light I thought 12 months DQ effective immediately $5k fine $10k costs Now I get 12 months holiday from racing, and I save $42k ( what I spent at Ellerslie on sponsorship & hospo last year ) Everyone’s a winner .... now roll on the conclusion of Inca so we can shine some light on it and see who was right and who was wrong
