Succession after succession of elite NZ Racing Admin had have the opportunity to fix these venues for years and years, none of them have done a positive thing to do that. They have simply sucked the sav and moved on . Bill Murray would call it Groundhog day on steroids if he knew about it. Unfortunately you seem to live in fairy land @Chief Stipe where you think these people care and are actually competent enough to do something , this latest lot are just the latest lot putting another nail in NZracing coffin. Eventually they'll really get their way then you'll know its well and truly over for the sport in this country. That being the case stop wasting time and get yourself on a racing club committee to share all the ideas that youre full of!

For starters I want you at the helm of a racing club. That's just for starters, oh and also triple the number of Grand Tours , that'll get us about a quarter of the way there.

Are they playing some Neil Sedaka?

Someone somewhere may do it though, that's why the industry needs a clever chap like you on a racing club committee!

Agree , but you can't beat a piss up & a party for sustained genuine involvement in the sport ... the racing world can learn a lot from us!

The Grand Tour ... get in behind the concept @Chief Stipe!

Therefore under that assumption most tracks around the country should only own up to outside rail , utter madness the sale of land for profit or not it"ll be one of the biggest reasons the racing industry descends into oblivion.

I thought he had shares in about 10 TA syndicates you're telling me he only has one?

You'd get some more worthwhile/value for money by locking @Chief Stipe in a room for a week and paying him with a share in a TA horse.

They don't exist , ask @Chief Stipe

You mean they need to copy off our "Grand Tour" in France?

The new CEO may give Bernard Saundry a run for his money as they worst in decades , I think he and his team actually believe they are being innovative and finding solutions for the industry a very scary thought indeed!

I never wasted a $

Well I wonder which venues they'll be trying to close down, it'll be so interesting to see. These consultants with the help of the local mafia will I'm sure come up with something out of the box ... not!

More $$ and industry resources set to be wasted! What do they think they can achieve given their performance regarding venues to date?

Surely youre capable of changing that or bringing about the change the industry needs?

A fellow with your lack of club parochialism, racing acumen , ownership deeds and undoubtable knowledge should dive into a committee role at a racing club @Chief Stipe perhaps a small country club could benefit from your input , probably turn things around in a couple of years or less with you on the local committee . The industry definitely needs more people like yourself to get involved!

SA has already pointed out how out of touch you are , its very apparent that is the case. You need to take time away from your TA syndicates and open you eyes @Chief Stipe

The volunteer based clubs weren't able to do it for various reasons - loss of race days by governing body - threat of sale of land and legal action - lack of support (see above also) The governing body did/does all it can to make life difficult for these smaller clubs , some of it out of incompetence, but most out of spite & club nepotism. What industry has its governing body take away successful race days from clubs that lift the local profile of the sport,support racing infrastructure & provide a desired product, you'll probably find only racing is that silly.

Prove it

You've lost me ...what?

What were yearling prices back then?

Yes I think so

No but closing down Country racing venues certainly was!
