The Oaks will never be the same without Trentham! Ellerslie Oaks, Te Aroha even..??

Next person will be bought in for the smash and grab part of the plan, so gonna need to be a bit of narcissist , plenty of takers for that in the industry!

Old Old news

An announcement about a pending state of war , to let the peasants in the industry know they are coming for your land!

Best track in the country on borrowed time an insult to the once great sport which is now nothing more than a circus.

Now you're just trying to be clever

Ruakaka of course!

and rightly so , not like we have them climbing out trees to ride them in this country.

The non existent Northern Mafia get away with another one, they certainly seem to have a lot go their way for something that doesn't exist.

He wasn't worried about pulling the 30 years ago they didn't fix it card on Weigh In either.

Hanging around as a consultant is an absolute insult to the industry and just another piss take , the industry is full of these situations in racing clubs etc also. Its not enough that they have a COO to guide the industry while he is not there? He seems to have been doing that role for sometime already.

Not true , many many people in the industry warned them this wouldn't work & so it has proven.

Yes it is, but wouldn't you expect personnel on huge $$s to recognize & make decisions accordingly? Or at the very least have some accountability. Instead they've closed tracks & moved races & clubs purely based on agenda,favoritism & little or no evidence of the impact those decisions have on the industry in the short & long term, absolute circus has been for sometime.

Sinple , how many opportunities does Hastings get? It just goes on and on like it has at many other venues which aren't delivering.

Yep also great to see a guy who knows his stuff and understands the punter as he is one. It's a bit like the what we need at the industry level.

The tracks are a sideshow to the real problem, the real problem is the inability of NZTR and the board to make effective decisions that benefit the industry instead of decisions that just convenience a few. The Venue Plan should burnt and a complete rethink should be taking place, I've said this for many years they are in no position to run around telling venues they don't have a place in the industry. The people doing so are the real dangers to the industry. They have chosen this path that will slowly but surely destroy the industry, but the industry shouldn't be letting them get away with it.

You're not good enough to get a stalker Fairy Flash!

This coward won't try to find him, Flash is one for the sideline only.

Like you TAB4eva they are in no position to gloat and it appears they are taking that approach also . Everyone wants to see if work for the sake of racing and owners , but don't make it out to be some significant achievement that a club who has had millions spent on it can hold a race meeting from start to finish! The CEO told us doesn't care what anyone thinks any way if its not positive towards them, they don't matter were his words.

Doubt that .

It's the first thing I would do.

No, I think its an example of using your initiative . Effectively giving owners in their horses a chance of being involved in that race.

Wow !. very interesting & clever what Wexford are doing buying a slot effectively for their owners .

Beauty in the eye of the beholder as always , looks an utter mess to me.

Makes sense then.
