Rowley Mile

You people are revolting......or you should be! How the hell do you put up with that crap?

This is probably in the wrong thread, however, Malo Blik, ran 3rd just now at NP........a great advertisement for a noble steed, honest as the day is long. 13 starts, 12 cheques, about 23k in prize money.........how sad is that, how bloody embarrassing !........he could have earned 3 times that at least in Oz.......his owners obviously don't need the money, may love to just see him run, and that's why the inhabitants of a certain building in Petone hold their jobs......racings disgrace, the prize money at the levels they are, and yet the salaries at HQ are a blight on the industry.....an underperforming industry rewarding the major players in ADMIN with a salary most of you could only dream of.....tears we cry!

I know it's tad off piste, however, what's the status with the Messara report? any movement on the 'retrenchments to save operating costs" per chance?

I'd like to use a 'prod' on a few politicians Fred, the former racing minister for one, but there's no battery big enough to emit the charge I'd use.......of course it would be a complete waste of time, and electricity, ....nothing could have 'sparked' that bloke into life. The current thing is no better either, .....maybe a flame thrower? you think?

Drain the swamp fellas, starting at Ballarat.

Ding Dong, Ding Dong.......med time, ! 2 pills with water, twice daily.

Hearing adjourned until 2pm Monday. Moonee Valley on shortly so no wonder. Well at least he has the weekend to get the story right me thinks.

Has anyone seen Dr James Herriott from channel 2? has he put his head up yet? Thought he might have spotted something when he was ''invited' to the 'Great Ones' yard? eagle eye and all that.

On Gumtree over here...For Sale 600 horses, mixed kilometres, large selection of batteries, bring cash''! No tyre kickers.

Conduct prejudicial......one of the worst charges a trainer can face.......are you related to him Centaur? a love child perhaps?

two seperate sites

racingvictoria.com.au

yep, racing.com

Hit with a show cause notice as well.....the steps will decide shortly if Weir is free to train on until the case is heard......

six charges against Mr Weir, lets now see if he can train on a stay........

Thanks Mooncoin, and I yours.......I'm a little bit closer than you, having trained at Flemington for 5 years when Weir was in short pants....I have some good contacts still in VIC......social media here has some very good 'detectives' of course you need to read between the lines, but V'Landys at Racing NSW is a gun, no bullshit, straight shooter, and he has banned Birchley, Currie and now issued Weir with a show cause, you see it's about integrity and perception, the Sheriffs have to not only be seen doing something to protect racing's public image, they have to do something......they did, and I agree....after the Cobalt fiasco here...oh and there in NZ.....with your tainted troughs crap.....everyone at Racing NSW is pro-active.....the fiasco in Melbourne with the Cobalt boys proved integrity and accountability is integral to public perception and acceptance, so, let's see what the Lawyers do next as Victoria is a vastly different animal to NSW!. BTW.......the jiggers have been reported to have been locked up in a safe on the property.......now that's damning, hard to deny if they are in your safe I'm thinking.

Brian, when you bring in 'guns for hire' like NZRB/TB did, and in some cases middle management at best, mediocrity or luck is all you could wish for, and wish for they did. Whoever signed off on the loans [Peter to pay Paul] should have to answer to a Parliamentary committee, it was irresponsible and ill thought. Yes, taking back Tote ops to the clubs is a bloody good option, but it seems no one wants to listen to good bright and innovative ideas. Petone is a protected animal, there is no or little confidence anymore, only from the Northern Cartel, and their agenda is clear, nothing being hidden there......sadly the industry in NZ is doomed, brought to it's knees by high salaried clueless sycophants, mostly in suits that will never ever own and operate their own business's.......for various reasons. Those people need the eagle to land each week/month and deposit, John Allen is an oxygen thief, the bullshit is endless, and I've said it before....those that believe their own bullshit are dangerous, very! God help you good burgers, as you say Brian, if Savabeel goes tits up, disaster.......because the buyers bench will look very empty indeed, and racing for 10k will become 7 again.....and so on......I wonder how the thousands of good/great racing folk in the Nth of the South Island feel, that glorious weather, those beautiful tracks, and tourists by the thousands......an absolute wasted resource......it's just so bloody sad. Rowley.

Now there's a thought.

Wrong, The Feds are not leading at all.......get onto the best Aussie feed streams for the latest, but check your facts.

No Vanturk, not bail out, they have too much moula to have to do that, damage control yes!.......it will be there for all to see........history repeats, The sales would have been a disaster without Savabeel, the figures are distorted because of him, it was the same with Zabeel and before him Sir Tristram........Cambridge rely on Tavistock, he's going south, Waikato are saved by a champion sire, Sir Pat was the same....legends.......and wonderful staff and he was hands on.......and although the Lindsays are probably lovely folk, they have to lean heavily on advice......see you in two years Vanturk.

Absolutely!....they sacked the wrong stallion for a start, and I wouldn't have the Pom anywhere near my joint, his take on bloodstock in my view is questionable and I'm being kind......ex Darly......why? They are best payers on Gods earth......a job for life, if you are good enough, a new broom? I don't think so.......The Savabeel's sell themselves, even Jacinta could sell a Savabeel.......lets see shall we, say 2 years down the track?

How pissed were they? the stewards I mean.

Weasel you live in NZ, anything is possible there, you only have to look as close as the Beehive, that's living proof anything is possible, aliens discovered NZ, they never left mate.......it's the most beautiful country on Gods earth, but hell it hides some secrets, some even have a pulse.....but no brain.....eg.....the other channel......I see Dr James Herriott over there is sneaking out the back door re all this, oh well, let's see what happens, could be you are right Weasel, poor bugger might have known nada, zilch, he could be a Labour voter too....we shall soon find out.

Gee I bit hard on my tongue as to reply Centaur, but here goes........oh no, on second thoughts, why bother...it's beyond you cobber, as sad as that is.

Oh Gee Weasel, NZ racing could do with someone like you, I'm sure there is a job for you in Jackson St Petone.
