Had the Strathy not been put in the industry would be in a better state than it is now.

Even if that was or is the case , still no excuse for putting on this S%%t show , this club talk themselves up at every opportunity and pretend to lead the way, they're the laughing stock of the industry!

Absolutely , how about someone who is a normal owner.

Oatham said slip on M Cameron runner. Why was this track rushed back for KM & now for this meeting , what are they trying to prove?

Wow CS didn't know you were also in the KFE fan Club as well, its just an observation . No getting away from the fact that she is made a very big deal of being an owner in the horse more so than the others, as I say just an observation and I'm all for you continuing to enjoy your fan club!

BC would have left Frankel for dead in Aus. Enable would also have been beaten, the randoms youre talking down to were all acclimatised to Aus. that would not have been the case for the former two youre speaking of, they would have done hit and runs much like BC did at Ascot . It's why the likes of BC, Takeover etc deserve such high praise they left their front gate to take on the so called best available to race them.

Have we ever seen the other owners of this horse? It always seem like KFE is the owner?

The time has come for those responsible to walk, its well and truly beyond a joke . The industry did this to itself all the know it alls when the Messara Report came out, its a circus and will always be.

I'm sorry but I don't recall many MC 8th places being of note or recognition.

All the aforementioned are G1 winners , what more do you want? Enable like Frankel wouldn't come down to take on the Australian stars because they would have gotten soundly beaten, Frankel was only going to take the great mare on on his terms says it all.

Incredible influence on the industry on & off the track, 1 in a million!

Mamool Oscar Schindler Vinnie Roe Simenon Brown Panther countless examples, I lost futures $$ on them all.

And countless examples of staying superstars coming to Aus and getting beaten, some of them grow a leg down under. Aus has the better sprinters the majority of the time.

Divert attention away from the track issue.

Reopen the lot!

Is it though, I mean the ultimate?

Why does it matter, the Euros can come down under and race them if they like.

Top top horse, was really looking forward to seeing her in an Everest, but not to be .

"Rinse & Repeat" significantly more embarrassing than other venues given the resources & advantages thrown this clubs way for several years now.

Absolute joke Curious. Anyone with any knowledge in NZracing knows its all a rigged fiasco at any rate. A leadership award for Waikato Racing Club as an extra award , I can't stop laughing at the utter stupidity of it all and if you know anything about the relationships amongst leadership in both capacities you'll understand why they got that.

I don't agree, what we need is sensible decision making around tracks, Auckland doesn't need a track in town, one thats a pain in the B to get to & fro from. What we really need in this country is tracks we can race on and the infrastructure built around them, doesn't matter where they are (preferably away from town centres though) , the clown show thinks we need tracks where the population is (so they can push the Grand Flop Tour and other pointless ventures) , unfortunately with urbanisation of areas nowadays that only adds to the pressure on these resources, we need tracks we can race on that can have races televised on them, that participants can easily access, that are made for the horse not just for man and most importantly racing we can wager on!

Don't worry give them time , they'll shift the blame & the industry will give them a get out of jail card for free because they are the chosen ones of NZracing.

Why would they want to be bought into this Sh** Show, you can't blame them for not wanting to be effectively used and thrown on the heap afterwards (well thats NZTR plan) something thats going on across the country at several locations. The real reason NZ racing is unlikely to make it beyond a decade is the constant prevalence of incompetence & no accountability and responsibility from those in leadership roles within the industry. The NZ industry rewards incompetence and in some cases even encourages it, the stakes & Entain involvement are a big smoke screen. Average off $100k races at Ellerslie will happen just through the sheer number of abandonments. Like another poster said , this is a 'HUGE' embarrassment for the sport in NZ, was the track rushed to be put together for Karaka Millions too early?

$10m fullstop. pffft whatever , the fools are lapping it up though.

That certainly may have been the case, however nowadays the decisions are more than obvious from a financial and operational perspective but those in charge are not making decisions based on anything but latent bias!
