  1. Can you name any actual ponies that won a thoroughbred race?
  2. How can I be expected to join the dots over 2 forums when an intellectual of your merit can't discern what a pony is?
  3. You can't get through your head that the pony scurry races aren't races , they are farcical racing thoroughbreds against actual ponies.
  4. A fantastic opportunity for you to get involved in racehorse ownership chief, if its no good you can put it in the "pony" scurry races!
  5. Only a conspiracy if it isn't true. I'd call unexplained missing posts on a racing chat site more of a conspiracy, one in which you might be able to shed more authentic light on than the scurry races you like to convince yourself are full of actual ponies.
  6. I'm not the one taking this seriously like you are, ex races against kids actual ponies and you think they are ponies ... absolutely delusional!
  7. Ferraris racing against Mini Coopers.
  8. Might have been some ponies in it , but the winner of the first heat wasn't a pony (yet again) have a look at the name and breeding of the horse for a clue on that. Stop making it out like its a race .
  9. Pony race ... yeah right!
  10. Both look terrible , horrible concepts. Fake ownership .
  11. Probably all the closed ones.
  12. Minimal crowd happens all on its on , probably most of the venues not being used are more likely to get a crowd than the current ones.
  13. Should be re-opening plenty more not just this track, utilise all available venues .
  14. No it needs to get away from business cases & worry about how it impacts the training & development of the horse. Too many BS business cases have led to this dead end direction we are heading in at the minute. Give them a business case & they'll put a hospital,Kmart & a kindergarten next to the winning post. Time racing worried about it's core product - the animal.
  15. You do you Awapuni, you do you!
  16. Not just officials , the guy whose supposed to be leading the reconnaissance of the sport!
  17. If the tracks that arent being used need to be used they should tell the industry to get stuffed! They'll only be getting used by an industry that never gave a stuff about them in the first place. Get those chickens home to roost an industry that deserves everything it has coming to it!
  18. Wouldn't put it past them for it to be BS, in their best interests to put some photos out or get the Lexus out and do some skids! The industry is falling apart at the seams , thank goodness it only happened in the "Off Season"!
  19. Auckland only have horses there on race day. The mix very rarely works and we usually see one take precedence over the other & it's never racing. Look at Trentham for starters although next to no horses trained there the rot has well and truly set in. It'll happen elsewhere to the detriment of racing.
  20. and this is the issue with the so called attempting to utilise the assets for something else, most of it doesn't mix particularly well with thoroughbreds! The CEO is showing himself to be another clueless patsy with his comments here. Anyone who has an idea for for utilsing the assets outside racing should be made to ride a young horse around at the same time and see if they still have the same enthusiasm. We talk a big game regarding safety and then we get this type of rubbish.
  21. That's the point it is their job to identify these problems/issues well ahead of the prospect of abandonment and moving meetings is even considered. They haven't and they won't. That's been born out by their persistence and ignorance around closing venues. The biggest issue with NZTR is they have absolutely no idea how the industry works , clueless and I mean clueless about how it functions. It would function better and has done so in the past without them.
  22. Never happen, easy money and no accountability add to that they don't give a s**t about the industry and they are happy to stay on a very good wicket indeed!
