    Agree classy accurate reply , I thought Rodley knew better.

    An absolute snorefest this year, one of the most alarming things I have seen lately is the jockeys asked in intereviews which race they would most like to win in NZ. Not a Derby, not an Oaks, nor a Cup race but the Karaka Million ....
  3. Huey
    Yes wouldn't that be great. But realistically NZ has a lot more troughs, hay and P addicts than other jurisdictions so in essence would it be fair to undertake such a thing?

    JB ,we got Polaroids here now ya know !

    This BBS also by Fastnet Rock from arguably one of the best female families in the studbook. Avantage won 1 G3 in Aus & a nice enough 3rd behind Classique Legend who was on his way up, hardly something Aus studs are going to be paying $4m solely for. MB won 2 in Aus and her G1 over there was in a time honoured race during the Spring Carnival against very good horses, so one can understand the price paid for her. Perhaps the idea is to breed from BBS and thats why they went for the MM . however I'd have thought a G1 on the CV was worth more than a restricted sales race ?

    Someone obviously rates the NZ Group form still to pay the money they did for her and MB , from memory both only won one Group race in Aus. in MB case I think it was a G1.

    Those buns with a bit of ham in them... serious rip off, owners room there is also awful as unfortunately is Trenthams.
  8. Huey
    Avantage
  9. Huey
    Realise that, but despite the context our Group form is held in reality , you would have to think that a double G1 winning 2yo would be worth at least as much as the prizemoney of the MM?
  10. Huey
    Shame as is probably the best 2yo in NZ & you would have to think would have been hard to beat in both G1 races. Seemed a strange decision to send her over for that race given the strength of 2yos in Australia.
  11. Huey
    That may be true , but wouldn't you organise maintenance work around your race meetings not to occur to inhibit your race meeting?

    Just someone with a bit of heart who looked like they cared about the long term future of the industry, in particular someone who had a passion for punting or 1 of the 3 codes. This reads again like another corporate BSer who'll bring in the service mantra from Air NZ/Banking etc that doesn't work in this industry. Having said that Mckenzie was supposed to be the golden god to take the industry to the next level, he did the easiest thing there is in cutting costs (of that we have to be gateful at least I guess) but the organisation still seems to be treading water.

    The real worry is he was one of the only candidates and knows how screwed the industry is and is here to do what the last 4 or 5 have done, in fact thats the impression I get. Unless of course Fairy Flash was involved in the interview process , he'll then be thinking its honky dory! I can't wait to hear from the big wigs how good this guy is gonna be , its happened in every single TAB & NZTR appointment.

    Flybuys on the punt - Yeehaa! It's all over folks, all over!
  15. Huey
    No idea, but the man is sportsperson of the year already taking on these tyrants!

    I've given up, had promise but it now as NM says dying. I also get the impression they don't care.

    I believe most are already awake, the rest either delusional or trying to get in on the end scam.
  19. Huey
    It better work out, Trentham about the only racing I look forward to in NZ these days.
  20. Huey
    Remove the "ambiguity" .... yeah right! The rules will be altered for only one reason we should all know that.
  21. Huey
    or have been there done that and quite simply don't need such beauracracy .
  22. Huey
    Perhaps but they are also wasting a lot of peoples time and money having to do this, with NZTR face value is usually of very little value!
  23. Huey
    Very true , but the fools running the industry have their eyes on a cash injection from sale of profitable assets. That is really all they have that is their plan fall back or not that's the plan.
  24. Huey
    Best meeting,best track best fun in the country hands down!
  25. Huey
    I guess the real reason NZTR like to perpetuate the myth is so that they can justify their existence, as in reality what this really shows is that the industry would be just fine without them.
