  1. Well ROUNDUP is systemic and they've finally realised how f'd that is and realigned their thinking on the f in poison... Didn't the Roundup selling man drink the stuff...or was that Dioxin's DD2? Anyway...you there Freda? Whats the talk around the Barrier boys there...who was responsible for the gates being positioned @15 Lengths short... ..and don't the Stipes have a man at the gates as they do in the North?
  2. I'd say he knows he's powerless.... ..all he can do is promote his own outfit while realising the Sports crowd is getting the public behind them...who generally hate Racing... Post lockdown the sporting crowds were phenomenal while racing kept its minimalist approach alive and well... Aided and abetted by colourless media types...have you seen GET ON for example... Then watched old videos of Tan, Rodley et el. who got personality transplants from the Zombie museum...and a sense of humour from Play School?
  3. Muriwai Downs Farm sold for over $12.5m to wealthy New Zealand resident Anuja Nadkarni14:24, Jan 16 2020 The 100-year-old Muriwai Downs Farm on Auckland's west coast has been sold to a wealthy New Zealand residents. According to Auckland Council records, the Muriwai Rd property, near Muriwai Beach had a capital value (CV) of $12.5 million. Bayleys capital markets director Layne Harwood said the property sold for well above its CV in an unconditional offer before Christmas. Harwood would not disclose details about the buyer but said it was a "high net worth" New Zealand resident, who bought it as part of a long term investment plan. Companies Office records show The Bears Home Company, which was incorporated in October 2019, has its registered address as the Muriwai Downs Farm. The director of The Bears Home Company is Guang Huang but is owned by Jialing Yin and Zhaoxi Lu. Yin owns a $3m house in Auckland's Dairy Flat. Meanwhile Lu owned two multi-million dollar properties in Dairy Flat. Harwood said the Muriwai Downs Farm could not be redeveloped because it was rural and would continue to operate as a farm. The working farm with dairy cows, sheep and beef cattle as well as sandstone quarrying operations was sold as a going concern with rural stock, he said. The 500-hectare farm has been owned and farmed since 1919 by five generations of the Houghton family. The farm has two waterfalls, conservation wetlands and the 4ha Lake Okaihau and is divided into five lots ranging from 47ha to 143ha. SUPPLIED The 500 hectare Muriwai Downs Farm has a lake and two waterfalls. Harwood said the Houghtons decided to sell the farm because the value of the land outweighed the return from operating the farm. A resource consent was granted in 2017 to subdivide 12 lifestyle blocks over lot 1 and lot 5, to the western point of the farm. Conditions of the consent include registration of covenanted bush, ecological and wetland protection areas.
  4. Yes but in times of troubled waters... Riding alongside a white elephant, like the Hill, when holding your hand out like an Oliver only highlights how two faced the Industry is.... Dont tell me the anon buyer of this perfect potential Race Course/training centre is the ex plastic lunch box King? https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/118793754/muriwai-downs-farm-sold-to-wealthy-new-zealand-resident
  5. That's COVERTING not converting...f in auto correct!
  6. Just how good has this Jock been in the last few days?? Its about NEVER giving up in Heavy bottomless tracks stuff Friday started with Gav Sharrocks neddy...then JUNIOR yesterday... Totally beaten horses along way from home...both winning in the end... They should be showing those rides in App school And a special screening for Maddy Cameron...he needs a good dose
  7. Just how RANK has the Trackside Thoroughbred product become?? ZERO atmosphere, no course presenters, virtually ZERO audio of the great sport of Kings... They could have adopted the FAKE NEWS crowd audio that other World Wide sports of Football and Aussie League inserted... ...but as hopeless is hopeless does....ZERO, NADA...NOTHING They accidentally retained...occasionally that is...of the Barrier gate microphone...that's f in all Imagine a Casino pokie machine with ZERO sound ZERO flashing lights...ZERO excitement? Up close, a Thoroughbred horse race is full of noise...Jockeys complaining, hooves pounding, whips cracking, crowd yelling their ass's off... NZ Trackside...what paddy f in shot at Im pretty sure the old NZRB wanted to pay back the Thoroughbred Industry for complaining how useless and incompetent they were... And what a pay back...a PASSIONLESS, CLINICAL operating theatre like 'production' Then punishing us with ZERO personality types such as Sweeney and Rodley in a ZERO atmosphere studio F them
  8. So FINALLY...after being alerted to this post... ...the hopeless RIU decided to post a tiny addendum to yesterday's report that... ...they 'heard' a race was run 2 weeks ago at an incorrect distance... No ALERTS on either the NZTR or RIU websites of the F UP... Just slip it in hoping nobody notices... What a bunch of amatuers
  9. #yeana..... But seriously...a racing industry that is basically broke, requiring Government assistance, can't have the luxury of converting such valuable land for the landed gentry of Remuera types... just sitting there...activated for a few meetings...while Rome burns... Sell the sod off...invest in a Strath surface, which they should have done instead of a piddling drainage job...and race every 2 weeks THROUGHOUT the year... No 3 months off nonsense Alternatively sell the whole thing off....buy a Greenfields project out Muriwai way....or Port Waikato..both close to the population bases...even setting up a new training centre there...with the white elephant Hill funds.... Oh...and sell off that dog Pukekohe too Sorted
  10. So today the HOPELESS RIU have the chance to ALERT Stakeholders to the fact a race was run at the incorrect distance 2 weeks ago... Was the Starter a new fella who didn't know wtf the 1100M peg was driven in and guessed? WTF knows.... But today's your chance boys in suits... Do what you're paid to do...thanks
  11. Had me hands full..and been tied down...sometimes at the same time...such is lockdown!
  12. Let moi simplify the readings for you... Many of us care for the state of NZ Racing... Retaining pathetic protocols such as these led to the McGovern f up Similar to the pathetic scenes at HQ where Gripper lost the plot in the COA Cup....by not following laid out common sense protocols...funnily enough Hope that helps
  13. Are me ears deceiving moi or is that what the Starter's yelling out..simultaneously as he/she releases the field when pressing the button?? Maybe the Jocks all carry a rag out with them and give them a swipe as they leave or something...wiping all the b/s they've just spouted out to the starter...or the Shyte talk they expunge in the gates between themselves... ...like "which one of us is going to lead boys and girls...ok I'm gunna take an uncontested lead...agreed?...yep no probs" Because we know what goes on girls and boys.... Anyway..if it's "Watch ya Gates"...which could be a possibility ...then that would be the silliest requirement that the previous Barrier Boys at Ellerslie ever foisted upon the rest of the country... ...you know... when they had a mass meeting of Starters...organised by the hopeless RIU at HQ so ALL Starters in NZ were on the same page...aka PROTOCOLS Guess what...there is ABSOLUTELY no good that can come out of that ridiculous standard requirement...only F Ups Which is what happened back in a March at HQ...when unbelievably the new Starter McGovern...a vastly experienced Starter....got all miscombomulated and pressed the go button while shouting out the required b/s "WASH YA GATES"!!! Trouble is he didn't press the button hard enough...the Jocks anticipated he would....over half the field hit the gates...the Jocks then looked around to abuse him...then McGovern let them go!! Without a vet check FFS! 4 Horses came back to scale injured and McGovern got hauled into the room "McGovern...WTF were you doing letting the field go without vet checking them" "Your Honour...I didn't see any horses hit the Barrier"!!! Holy f...if b/s were Jelly Beans...McGovern just swallowed the whole f in packet right there! That aside you'd think the hopeless boys at the RIU would realise that "Wash ya gates" was a hopeless dead end nothing good to come out of it b/s statement.....yea na Come the return to Racing post bug...surprise surprise...the rusty Starter at Riccarton on the first 2 days... "ok...last one coming up boys and gals....WASH YA GATES"!!! " oh..f me hold it..no power"!!! Brilliant...at least no horses hit the gates hard enough to come back injured....4/5 did though... Listen up John Oatham of the hopeless RIU...just tell them to STOP IT NOW..
  14. So a couple of weeks ago the winner ZOLTAN was being investigated by the suits at RP as being a potential record holder...yea good luck with that... Being a suspicious f'er..Chief Gobder of the Rank Integrity Uniks calls me a "train spotter"...no Mickey...it's called INTEGRITY of the Thoroughbred product ffs! ...anyway I looked at other 1100M races and discovered the Gates were IN THE WRONG PLACE! How could they get something so vital SOOOO wrong? Anyway human error is rife in human life...we all know that...apart from the Righteous Right led by Hoskings... But what is totally UNFORGIVABLE in this cock up is the behaviour of NZTR and the hopeless RIU... NZTR simply went to the official result and altered the 'OFFICIAL' distance... ...WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE!!! Not even the RIU who should have been over this from the time...the really relly FAST TIME was posted...IGNORED IT! STILL to this day the equally HOPELESS NZTR and RIU refuse to alert stakeholders to the F UP... They just think it's best to avoid any EMBARRASSMENT and let stakeholders stumble over the fact the race was run @ 12/15 Lengths shorter... Yes were all seriously busier with the bug...but that doesn't excuse producing a SIMPLE alert that a race was run at the INCORRECT DISTANCE FFS!!
  15. Great use of hoods! If only they had proper hoods on...they'd look complete race horses eh Cheef?
  16. Na, not me back....although speaking of that...thank da Gods for lockdown!! Its never felt so good...or clean for that matter..thanx to she who shouldn't be mentioned...the PRINCESS!!... F me..Talk about clean...na not her...she's as dirty as she ever has been...praising da Gods...buttttt...I've had more deep tissue massages, clean overs, hot flannies, salt scrubs and been thrashed unmercifully with cat o nine tail like palms fronds than anyone could care to fantasise about... ...and then there were the walks...holy f....The WALKS!! Beth the pig dog went on so many killing expeditions she had a breakdown...became a pacifist and joined up with the pigs...she said it was the Stockholm syndrome but I'm not believing that b/s...bitch Then the Princess, through her lockdown alcoholic haze, went all 'humanitarian' on me and kept donating stuff to weird 'charities'...... ..she thought I 'd become a fan of the K League and donated my entire selection of Korean dolls to the Sth Korean Football Association...who then displayed them as fake crowd complete with the leather masks I'd made them sweeties...idiot It was K Pop ffs...here Blackpink...my fav...try them https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bwmSjveL3Lc Anyway back to topic...IM F IN BACK!!! Cos we need some ACCOUNTABILTY in this industry! And here's a tip..get ya apostrophes sorted or you'll end up talking a load of b/s! Kia f in kaha mofos
  17. Can't you read? "C is the biggest LAY since Mata Harri went through the British Army" RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT
  18. No! What I SAID should have been the Blue Print! Typical Jockey tactics having his one and only ride this campaign.. Used up to get handy...bashed him 21 times up the straight...gets a whip suspension... loses the battle...the 1 kg made the difference Should have listened to moi!
  19. Cmon boys..have you got a coronavirus inhabiting a space? The Japs can afford to cancel out problem horses...we can't... Its that simple... If you've got a problem with the non skill of Muzza's and Jammie's Breakers... You send them an email with the Breaker of your dreams.. Barrier Blankets rule..ok? Especially on IN A TWINKLING types who were tardy out previously... Then in the Derby without...When the bloody minded Starter refused to read the Manual and adhere to a Starters card...
  20. Out of form out of class neddys are more likely...especially handy positioned neddys as stated... How often is a Derby/Oaks race, with maximum numbers, destroyed by an out of form Maiden trolling back through the field... It only takes one Owner/Trainer, in love and out of touch, to destroy a Black Type contest
  21. So 'expert form analysers'...Rodley and Tan...think Mick Donald will sit up on the outside of AB...and pounce Yea Na boys...Why ride the horse upside down...give it a gut buster first up...in a lead up race? Chips instructions will be to drop back..get cover..let it stride home down the outer Shirley?
  22. You're right of course... This problem occurs mainly with owner/trainers...they're basically in love...and think a completely out of form horse can match any other... A couple of years ago an owner/trainer from HB started his 2 maidens in a mid weak on his HB course...ran last and 2nd last... 2 Days later he travelled both to a Premier Maiden at HQ and of course both ran ingloriously..tailed well off... The RIU had required a vet inspection..which didn't include bloods...just a wee look Simply not good enough in this day and age.... NZTR should retain the right to withdraw horses deemed totally outclassed... And naturally they can cause mayhem if racing handy and drifting quickly out on a rail position....
  23. ok think Ive got this... So the Japs don't use them due to the high humidity being that dry air is more suitable to conduct static electricity And all those years where NZ Racing had no Barrier blankets...we were too humid... ..so we didn't need them..but with climate change the air is as dry as a nuns cabinet locker...being they don't drink? is that right Fred
  24. I wrote wtf is wrong with that Chef...are you THAT pc?
  25. So down to 7... ...oh then there's the fuckled Melbourne weather...which could ...but looks like a bit of Gods spit at the mo... Actually good point.. ...the only way C has a chance is if Weiry gets hold of a treadmill and Jigger...then convinces Chip to put the Hood back on... ..to activate pavlov's dog...
