One wonders if it was an opportunity for him to get home, I guess though he may be there to set an example to the players. But being the Chairman whilst o'seas all this time is just a massive joke!

Too classy as you said, looks like punters club got a collect also which is good to see.

Hats off to trackside for BGP pet updates , quite interesting to follow. A big multi landing on next at Doomben.

Masked Crusader massively impressive .

Yep every chance but didn't look particularly comfortable in the ground.

I've backed Rich Hips , fresh up record & price. That'll just about guarantee Probabeel will win based on my punting so far today.

A race for a light weight perhaps?

Also their innate ability to never answer questions, always be in the right place at the right time to take credit for something good that happens that is more than likely based on luck. I constantly hear these leader described as a great administrators because they are 'approachable' (one really comes to mind) well I'd have thought delivery to the industry would be more important than just being approachable - that is our issue in NZ we set the bar so low and they deliver accordingly. I'd love to see a number of them pass a General Knowledge quiz of the industry which in those positions you should have , I pick most wouldn't get 50% right.

Only this time the consequences of inaction will be far more real!

Agree can't see racing happening for a week or so yet, any update from NZTR on what they are doing to try to get it going? Surely they are working on a plan to convince government like they have done in Aus. and not just waiting on the PMs bizarre announcements? Its looking very amateurish to say the least and why are the industry putting up with it?

Might be 1 million races if we get to race in the last two months of the season which is looking likely the way NZTR have handled all this!

Fairy Flash defence of CG already well underway, ironically defending someone from an article on a website called "The Optimist! "

Absolutely , they'll go for what is the flavour of the season highly likely to be any of the first 6 I've mentioned - that's called a No Brainer!

I heard its gonna wow you ; 0 What does the Single National System mean for Industry Participants? Currently external participants use NZTR’s Racing Management System, which is made up of Members' and Trainers' online service centre portals. These are accessed through NZTR’s website LOVERACING.NZ. Trainers and Breeders utilise these online service centres to manage their activity (nominations, withdrawals, gear requests, naming a horse, stable returns etc).  Internally, NZTR uses the Racing Management System for all areas of our business, including our finance system. All participants who use NZTR’s online service centres (i.e., Members' or Trainers' Service Centre) will need to migrate to the equivalent within the Single National System.  This will be conducted via education, training, and ongoing support for all participants by NZTR. NZTR’s National Racing Bureau team will still be available by phone, however, as part of our change to the Single National System we will be working with participants, educating them about how to use and migrate to our online services.

No that'd be called "Spin"!

Gonna be a no brainer who she goes to isn't . I am Invincible, Snitzel, Zoustar ,Written Tycoon or maybe The Autumn Sun or Ole Kirk. If she was mine I'd got to Castelvechicco ,Street Boss or Hellbent because they are at this stage affordable by Australian standards

Still waiting for the mind blowing features of the product to be released aren't we?

He won't go , he is like most of the others they don't go because they really don't care! You'd have to say COVID must have saved his butt at the Warriors or surely he'd be gone.

Surely the other key aspect of the article is the industry doesn't need nor can it afford a COO and a CEO , surely one role has to go the way this industry is headed. How on earth can it be justified?

Should have been a plan in place well and truly before this lockdown occurred. A prolonged lockdown and this industry is gonna be in an even bigger mess than what it was heading for. I cannot believe some of the bigger stables under demanding more immediate clarity from NZTR or are they all just giving up and sending horses to Aus ?

Send them BS back , he will sort it out Donald,Sale,Cranbourne,Mornington,Geelong all race at Flemington instead of wasting valuable industry resources on tracks no one goes to or even wants to race horses at.

Wont watch a single race as I'm hanging out for my Cambridge AWT fix ,gotta be here soon!

Levin, Marton & Fielding the only ones I can think. What is HB now Wairoa, Gisborne, Waipuk. As you say no identify, no character , nothing special just another race day now. I guess we can look forward to them all being run at Awapuni AWT soon at any rate.

Yep those 3 days racing in a week , thankfully they have remedied that stupidity, lucky to have leadership thinking like that arent we.

I'm told Fielding has been an unbridled success?
