    Pitiful really. 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

    What happened?

    Yeah I've actually had one of them threaten me on the phone during the McAnulty affair. I doubt the little guy actually has any stamina.

    LOL. I've been there many many times in my life and as old age creeps up I wonder. As my lawyer said to me over a beer the last time we won a case - "Doug you may end up poor financially when you are sitting in that rocking chair reflecting you can always say 'I did the right thing'"

    RITA must still be in financial strife surely.

    Mmmm I just thought it strange that HRNZ did and none of the others. Take the RIU for instance who get their funding via RITA from Pokies.
  7. Chief Stipe
    Maybe HRNZ's pub and pokie investments swung it over 40%?!

    Perhaps someone should ask Holden why, unlike the other codes, apply for and get the second Covid-19 wage subsidy?
  9. Chief Stipe
    Found it. It is under New Zealand Greyhound Racing Association Executive Payroll! Who would've thought! No they didn't extend.
  10. Chief Stipe
    I tried for GRNZ but it doesn't seem to be searchable. Maybe they paid their first tranche back? I tried searching GRNZ and Greyhound Racing New Zealand.
  11. Chief Stipe
    But HRNZ did? Or was the benefit handout from Winnie come with a caveat that they couldn't apply for the subsidy again?
  12. Chief Stipe
    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.
  13. Chief Stipe
    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.
  16. Chief Stipe
    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.
  20. Chief Stipe
    Actually I bet there is a lot going on over there at Channel X. Anyone noticed any threads or posts go missing?
  21. Chief Stipe
    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?
  23. Chief Stipe
    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.
