Good to see some of the stable visits well patronised , @Chief Stipe would not have been happy however with many being in my age bracket in fact most looked that age group. Still wonderful to see iniatives being supported.

They need my paintbrush I'm there if youre involved @Chief Stipe

50/50 when half the sires don't stand in this country , maybe I'm wrong and youre not ready for a club committe role just yet ... I still believe though.

Haha nothing like some facts to put you in your place @Chief Stipe! Racing does need me @Chief Stipe it needs my paintbrush and it needs you on a club committee , sharing your insurmountable knowledge coupled with your lack of experience and exit stage left attitude when things get tough. Be a "doer" not a "sayer" @Chief Stipe a "doer" not a "sayer"!!

Can you blame them, your Centralisation mates have tried to close and sell of half of them.

Actually it is 2yo Sires Top 20 represented by Aus Sires 2025 - 11 2024 - 9 2023 - 11 Guess where the sire whose leading current 3yo Premiership is from. Keep making it up @Chief Stipe Well duh! Make your mind up youre spruiking the provinces , but does your beloved Ruakaka not count?

No way it played that bad

More nonsense from you , that many inconsistent surfaces across the country and youre just cherry picking a provincial venue. Ellerslie nearly had the KM night canned long ago due to something worse than inconsistency - safety was a major issue.

And yet @Chief Stipe thinks everything should be centralised to these venues .

Laughable nonsense from you @Chief Stipe plenty of tracks with holes in them , slips , rail out etc etc and youre worried about a helicopter drying a track and supposed leaders bias.

Fantastic for him , he throughly deserves it if he won it. 2 & 3yo racing in NZ is mostly dominated by expensive Aus breed stock , if it isn't why are they pay such huge sums of money for them? So they can win at Waipuk?

Oh yes it is , if its providing the safe and fair surfaces you speak of! Youre confusing flash decked out Flemington type facilities with what the industry really needs.

I agree entirely with that, so what is considered a focus on the horses first?

Not true! Every sport needs an entry point (localised, country racing etc) , why do you think it works so well in Australia?

Yeah cause he takes the expensive Aus breed stock to one of the weakest black type jurisdictions in the world to race ... it ain't rocket science like you try to make it out to be @Chief Stipe !
