    I have Fairy Flash, so if I get it the first major change I'm making is moving from sausage rolls to cream donuts, so our Monday morning teas will improve morale by 7% with this immediate change to take effect!

    I think you'll find that this is where we are at in terms of staff in racing, its difficult enough to find someone in the public domain anywhere with any interest in racing let alone within a TAB, I certainly haven't met any the odd time I've been to a TAB. How can you expect the TAB to have such knowledgeable staff?, when if you contact NZTR you'll find very few there have any idea about racing! and that really is their job.

    You are right and this attitude is prevalent across NZ racing in general. There are a number of tracks across the country that would be better kept than closed just from a quality of racing perspective. One of the main reasons we will be absolutely stuffed in a few years time. The worse part about it is they haven't even been allowed to survive on their own merits, they have been cut without any real analysis of our situation and worse still cut by people running racing who know f$%k all about it! Or as is BS case allowed themselves to be led a Mary dance by those with significant self interest priorities.

    Be fair to say Probabeel is the best horse the TA machine have trained, certainly better than the other 2 mares with some very questionable G1s by their name. She is undoubtedly from the very top draw based on her Aus wins, she would have utterly dominated in NZ as the other two did,but has performed at the very highest class instead. Her win yesterday her best imo , the way she fought back is only for the good ones.

    I've never seen anything like BC, the power,presence the dominance of her wins, her like I do not think I'll see again in my lifetime. Never been more excited watching a horse that I didn't own run than her! None more deserving of the word Freak than her imo. A Winx vs. Sunline over a mile would have been some race, not sure Winx could have run the mare down either.

    As I say I do hope things improve for them.

    Wow this stable has had some terribly bad luck, what with this and the positive around the xmas / new years period that was just an innocent mistake. I do hope their luck changes for the better and they can get everything sorted out for themselves and normal service resumes afterall they must be beside themselves with all this going on.

    Nope, it is MEH!

    Only a matter of time here, never known such an underwhelming GN as that taking place at Te Aroha this weekend , absolutely no hype about it whatsoever!

    26s for the Cox at the moment, I'm a big fan of the horse but would want at least double that to back him, VE & Z heading there, but if you've got one you got to have a go don't ya, I mean it is "the" race surely. Trainer nearly pulled it off with JC , outside of VE I be cheering for him.

    Surely the NZ Oaks is one of the only true G1 contests left, most of the time seems to throw up a few very good horses in a decent sized field.
  14. Huey
    It can't be far away , the overall standard in NZ has reached that level so its only a matter of time.

    LMAO if they think they are going to be hiring people to deal in club politics, pickering etc they will need a small army of employers in the racing industry to deal with that.

    That it was released to fanfare- tick!
  17. Huey
    It's an easy win , tick box exercise simple as that really, no real accountability on delivery with an initiative like this , so just like they like it - Tick!
  18. Huey
    haven't noticed anything of any note.
  19. Huey
    NZTR to an absolute Tee!

    #whenracingwins surely there was something more relevant than that ? Does anyone know if there is a number an owner can call when their horse runs down the track? #whenyourhorsedontwin

    My concern with this type of stuff is the people they bring in are likely to know little about racing , so you get a similar situation to what we have with regards to the running of the sport itself , it's something I would have thought needs to be looked after from within.

    More copy cat clap trap from this lot, incapable of coming up with anything even remotely or vaguely related to the actual product or even improving elements of it i.e programming, calendar, stakes distribution, better utilisation of assets , reducing costs etc etc etc - they just copy and put their name on it. Can't be long until they have some inclusion awareness campaign and change their name to ATR! - In short just embarrassingly hopeless!

    It will break the back of both systems , one financially & the other through sheer greed & incompetence.

    New owners might give this a go? Good Promo this. https://www.racing.com/news/2021-09-22/news-breeding-toss-the-boss-for-free-cover?fbclid=IwAR2q4hshTP2O31hvUKUUaUQIJxnO0N8Emksz4SCRKSiTtdyi5GcsvsaIvjY One thing I really notice about the Aus racing media is they always spread their coverage well i.e. this little stud getting some free promo, doesn't happen enough here imo.
