  1. As I have been saying for 10 years + on many forums, there is absolutely NO accountability in New Zealand…none, nada, zilch, zero, northing….NZ has a culture problem…a nation of buckpassers And can it be fixed? pigs will fly before that…
  2. Honestly, why would you people? THEY only want racing in the area north of Taupo...CD is finished. Watching the death of a beautiful, old friend is devastating...but that’s NZ racing...
  3. No she hasn’t ....she’ll be traded 4 or 5 times before her first foal hits the track...that’s the problem with today’s “investors”...not interested in developing families. Very different to Black Caviar or Makybe Dancer...
  4. Agree Horace...let’s keep everything in perspective. MB is the best NZ can offer, as we all know, the colts never get a chance because the heretics just keep flogging them off. But, as Horace has said, never, never mention her in the same breath as Sunline. Her efforts are now in the record books, but it’s a very low key record in comparison and I’m sure some of her owners who are true racing people, would agree. Most Group 1 races in NZ should not have that status, for various reasons. Good luck to her. She is a lovely mare ....and the opposition she faces every start, highlights the ever diminishing state of NZ racing.
  5. That’s why he didn’t last in Aust...forget the personal stuff, he can’t sit in a bus.
  6. Thank you for the above I’m guessing Winston didn’t ask JM about export...too controversial... JM’s response is very general...and probably didn’t want to stir the pot...Publicly at least. just reviewing the major documents it’s not mentioned at all.... So if the root cause of the problem was not addressed, then how can you fix the problem...and my fear is NZ racing will be back in the same position and no Government bail out....
  7. I would like to know the parameters given to John Messara by Winston Peters for the review of NZ Racing. would this info be a available under FOI? If so, how do I go about obtaining such? Or does anyone else have access to this information? I would think as a Minister of the Crown, that information would be on the public record...? In my view, Messara didn’t address certain issues....critical issues which have been flagged by Racing NSW...and I’m anxious to see if these were part of the criteria for investigation...
  8. Yep you’re 150% correct ?
  9. I think I’ll just ask them on Twitter. That’ll embarrass them...When I also include RNSW & RV on the question...????
  10. Exactly, so on what basis does NZTR make decisions ?
  11. Just an observation ..... has anyone ever looked at the trainers information on the NZTR site? How can NZTR plan accordingly if trainers don’t provide accurate updates concerning horse numbers in their stables? Does anyone (RIU) check the stable returns? Does NZTR racing ever check the accuracy and/or currency of stable returns? As they don’t, how can they plan?
  12. OK where’s the great lady apologising to all participants for the crap track HER club has produced...?‍♀️?‍♀️?‍♀️
  13. My irritation comes from knowing that NONE of these people are accountable....just sneaking things in when they think no one is looking...as my old bookmaker Dad would say “it’s only a rort if you’re not in on it”....really sums up NZ racing...
  14. IF....they (Victorian Stewards) have the will. That issue could also be part of the Police investigation...but as jockeys are still to be interviewed....(nothing advised publicly at the mo’), I’d say there are wheels in motion behind the scenes....
  15. I think Dazza is saving his efforts for what is to come....???
  16. I may be wrong, but I don’t think he would...perhaps he’d like to go... but Kawalla trains the Raffles horses in Oz...and I’d say with the stables Asian connections, he makes a comfortable living trading...
  17. OK thank you Chimbu.....here is his rap sheet for all to see...and people still want to defend him? If ever there was proof of what goes round, comes round...or as I say, where there’s smoke, there’s fire... And the most disappointing aspect this week? The syndicators had to be embarrassed into removing their horses...yeah, good look ....
  18. He’s just got FOUR years....must divest his interest in horses before they are permitted to start for anyone else...
  19. Either than or it is Dr Herriot from the “other side”. The surgery must be closed and he’s bored sxxtless... ?
  20. I’m not going to enter into this any further...as I have eluded to, there is more to hit the fan in due course...the AFP have been building this case since August 2017. To be fair your police force, sorry...service, are incompetent, that’s why there have been so many fit ups. So let’s just see where this goes because today in only the first round.
  21. Mate, you are seriously delusional....I’m not going into it but this sad and sorry affair is going to have ramifications for so many people and the industry as a whole. Australian Federal Police.....if it was just a “jigger” which in any shape or form is not acceptable......but as I said, the AFP are running this....and will move forward in due course. RV have done their thing....hearing is tomorrow for RAD at 2.00pm but have left the door open for additional charges which could arise out of the AFP investigation. But, believe you me, this is NO witch hunt...
  22. Perhaps he has a touch of Parvo....which we could blame for his sudden onset of mellowness ....
  23. I have tried to explain the situation...the Australian Federal Police outrank and override every other entity...they have been building a case for sometime. Therefore their investigation is ongoing... It is NOT media hype at all...this, Aquaman, is SERIOUS. Yes, to a degree, if it was a little known trainer, it would not have been missed but this industry is one of Australia’s largest, therefore it needs to be protected. AFP are just letting RV get the initial stuff on the table....
  24. You do have an inkling of good taste GD...you drink Bell tea.✅
  25. I really don’t like saying it but in a very nice way, you are living in fantasyland, Aquaman. Unlike the NZ Milky Bar Kids, the AUstralian Federal Police are involved...and in fact are driving this poor sorry affair. The AFP wouldn’t get involved if it was purely a domestic racing issue....they deal in cross border events....read between the lines...their investigation has been ongoing for sometime.... The Victorian Police are also involved but it’s the AFP driving the police side of the investigation.
