  1. Visionaries are what most organisations lack.Remember Sir Dove Meyer Robinson wanting light rail in Auckland many years ago at a cost of 12million.
  2. That stadium along with others built ,like the Waikato Stadium are a sponge on ratepayers money.The bludging never stops. If the Rugby Unions had to pay market rates they would fold.
  3. Poverty Bay was leased i think so no assets.
  4. And Rogerson wants Wairoa and Gisborne reinstated so at least he can try and win the trainers premiership again.
  5. Biggest problem with the current Govt are the HAND OUTS as opposed to the HAND UPS. You only have to look at what LBJ started in the USA with the Great Society and continued by every other President since. It doesn't work.
  6. Blame crap programming.
  7. Try channel 200 on free to view.Nomally Kordia channel
  8. Would it work with WFA races only being for fillies,mares,colts and entires given WFA is for best of breed and crop.?
  9. Field size made the race virtually unable for a jock to say they were unlucky.
  10. Have a look at the premiership table.There are plenty who aren't firing. 18 in work with only 14 starts would suggest she may have a lot of young and untried horses and also that she maybe getting them redy for overseas.
  11. Its very popular because its held once a year.Anymore than that and it will become like every other course in nz,empty.
  12. I just wish that Pelosi,Feinstein,McConnell,Schumer,Romney and Graham were all going with him.
  13. A few from Te Akau in the latest Gavelhouse sale and others have been trhu on a regular basis.

    Happy Sunrise

    On an other chat show perhaps
  15. Good friend of mine was an app in the 40s/50s.He recalls travelling by Bristol Freighter to the Winter Cup meeting in CHCH.He says despite being underneath horse blankets the cold was nearly unbearable. In the summer he used to put wollen jumpers on and spend Friday afternoons in a car in the blazing sun and in the winter visiting businesses with boilers and asking them if he could sit in the boiler room.
  16. Should apply to many occupations eg teachers,lawyers,builders etc
  17. Has the area been swept for stray crocs and other slippery predators?
  18. IMO trainers don't want to go there be it turf or awt. I think that you could justify an awt at Trentham if you had a large number of trainers based at Trentham.
  19. IMO the fate of Trentham was sealed many moons ago with the removal of the Sales. Its been in slow decline since then.
  20. If one of the worlds big 4 Accounting companies says it a goer,then,its a goer. Lets do this. Lets go hard and early,when have an accounting company ever been wrong.
  21. James Cummings appears to be going thru a lean period in the big races.Still training winners but not as often in the big ones that would appeal to Godolphin imo.
  22. Very hard to get enthused about anything thats happening in NZ Racing at the moment. The big boys seem to be going ok but for the ordinary race follower,Racing is certainly in the doldrums.
  23. Always rated Collett but i find he rises to a new level when Bowman and James Mac aren;t around. That ride on the winner of the first at Randwick today was a peach.
  24. Anybody know if Mike De Kock is still going to set up in Aussie?
  25. Plenty of people been on the idiot box complaining about turnover. If the press ask,then you answer.
