Trouble is I can't remember much at all...although I've just discovered another pair of panties in my back pocket..after cleaning out three pairs from the breast pocket...

Cambridge will be the home of New Zealand's first synthetic horse racing track with a near $7million grant from the Government's Provincial Growth Fund. The Herald understand Minister for Racing Winston Peters could announce the approval for the new track surface as early as tomorrow when he opens a thoroughbred sale at the Karaka sales complex at 9.45am. It is believed the PGF will provide around half of the around $13million needed to build a synthetic, or all-weather, track over the next year which can be used for racing minor meetings but more importantly for training and trialing racehorses. The Cambridge training track is New Zealand's largest racehorse training facility with the horse racing industry a huge employer in the area. But New Zealand's wet winters and the up to 1200 horses that use the current training facility in spring have created enormous wear and tear on the main grass surface there and can affect trainer'sability to prepare their horses. The racing industry, from trainer to punters, have also been crying out for a more consistent and safe racing surface in winter when extremely wet tracks and cancellations of meeting have cost the industry tens of millions of dollars. The synthetic track mooted for Cambridge would replace the main grass track used there at the moment for training and trials with a track that isn't affected by the weather. The Herald understands one of the key factors in the PGF agreeing to the grant was that the new track could also be used for race meeting, not just training and trialing horses. That would make it the first synthetic racetrack in New Zealand. Synthetic tracks are popular in many overseas racing jurisdictions and have recently become more common in Australia but are viewed as alternate options to the usual grass surface for thoroughbred racing. But with Waikato being the hub of New Zealand racing, a synthetic track could provide a regular venue for the less glamorous mid-week meetings, which often attract small crowds but are crucial for turnover and giving horses racing opportunities. The Cambridge track presently has limited public facilities but even a small, clubhouse-like area with a viewing platform could suffice for minor meetings, where the main audience is the punters who watch the races on television both here and overseas. Work on the synthetic track is unlikely to start this winter but expectations are it should be in place by next year. Cambridge was one of three areas mooted for synthetic tracks in New Zealand, with others potentially at Palmerston North and in Christchurch. The synthetic tracks and their ability to provide sustainable racing are one of the key initiatives signalled by Mr Peters in his role as Minister for Racing. He also commissioning a broad-ranging report into the future of the industry, the Messara report. The logistics, practicalities and in some cases legalities of that report are currently being investigated by a Ministerial Advisory Committee who will make recommendations on the future direction of the industry.

Racing Minister Winston Peters has announced a repeal of the betting levy (racing totalisator duty) currently paid by the racing industry to the Crown. Mr Peters made the pre-Budget announcement when opening the Karaka May sales auction in Auckland today. The Minister announced that payment of the levy to the Crown will be phased out over a three-year period, with freed-up funds to be redirected to the racing and sports sectors. The betting levy represents 4 percent of betting profits which amounted to $13.9 million in 2018. "Redirecting the betting levy is a step towards revitalising of the racing industry. It was a recommendation of the Messara review of the racing industry, and was endorsed by the Ministerial Advisory Committee (MAC)," said Mr Peters. "The funds will be redistributed to the racing Codes and Sport New Zealand, with a proportion set aside to support the reduction of gambling harm. "This change will provide an important source of revenue for industry investment decisions," Mr Peters said. "The racing industry plays a vital role in the New Zealand economy, having contributed $1.6 billion to the economy in 2016/17 whilst employing tens of thousands of New Zealanders, many of them young, and boosting New Zealand’s exports. "It is important that the industry is revitalised and placed on a sustainable footing for the future. Redirecting the betting levy funds is only one of a number of steps the government is undertaking," Mr Peters said. Last month the Minister also announced a Government agreement to a stepped response to the Messara Report, introducing two new pieces of legislation to bring new governance arrangements and other sources of industry revenue.

Would a few winners suffice...pm me xx Anyway I'm off on the town to create bedlam and Hell on Earth... firstly get blind rotten....Im going to look for a married women because usually they're passionate and their husbands are ignoring them.... ...fornicate myself silly...after idolising and putting on a pedastal the hottest married Blonde....I'll probably steal her panties...only if they're lace of course... Then if all that fails...and only as a last resort...no offence Matty...homosexualise myself all the way to Hell... wish me luck
-
Of course...and if it's defamation there will be consequences.... Just as hate speech is encouraging or inciting others to commit criminal acts...as per the mass murderer's on line social deviants Or in Folau's case causing vulnerable young citizens to question if they have a legitimate place left on this earth..and only Hell awaits them... Folau has failed miserably in the 'rationality stakes' suggesting Homosexuality is a disease that can be cured... ...only half witted morons like him would believe that...
-
It's a general stipulation that players won't bring Australian Rugby into disrepute..the Panel found him guilty az sin of a High Level breach..... The AFL agreed with Castles not inserting a tight social media clause as that gets them into trouble with unintended consequences... Quantas weren't the only ones of course...his personal one Asics...then Land Rover took his car back... "While Israel Folau is entitled to his personal views, some of those expressed in recent social media posts are not aligned with those of ASICS. "As such, our partnership with Israel has become untenable and he will no longer represent ASICS as a brand ambassador."
-
Everyone including you are missing the point... Modern day Employment contracts stipulate you won't be embarrassing your employers with personal destructive beliefs with public dissemination or you're gonnnnne Imagine if a number of Jockey homophobes bombed Matty Cee telling him he's going to Hell right after he rides his last winner? It brings the Sport into disrepute and Racing's Sponsors will make a quick exit to some other inclusive pastime Folau was warned about public opinion bile...the paymaster has spoken....now he can go crazy...without 4M in his kick
-
Of course not..but being mature aged grey haired old f'ers..it's like water off a turkey Not So for immature Island teens...battling with major issues like homosexuality....where their very strict religious upbringings are black and white Folau has taken everything literally from an ancient tawdry old bit of fiction thinking Homosexuality is a disease to be cured... Hypocrisy? I'd call it the reality of International business....if we called out China on every human right breach we'd be eating dirt.... Being the paymaster they call the shots...it wasn't as if he wasn't warned.... ...he could have shared his views with friends...but he thinks he rules the World
-
Of course....love it...as Freda says..."he loves being the centre of attention the narcissistic dickhead wanker"...or similar Name a joke directed at moi I couldn't take....or go right ahead and make one up...even blow up dolls.. ....although that's kinda cliched...like V f in S
-
Fantastic announcement Cambridge gets the first Artificial Track.... ....huge numbers in training on a track that just can't cope anymore...also transferred meetings to race there.... Great investment for the future for the provinces...
-
Sensational amazing comeback from KINGS WILL DREAM after fracturing his pelvis in last years Cox Plate...back in training with Waller...what an impressive neddy
-
Ffs it was a joke...even Reefer would realise that...what's on this ice?
-
Who on earth wrote that rubbish? Alan Jones? Actually he used his publicly available Instagram account...nothing about private Many of those examples are illegal for a start...most have had their contracts torn up.... And Folau was reminded yet again to abide by his employers guidelines when signing up to the new 4M contract...he broke the contract...yet again... He could have limited his hate to only his followers Lets do a racing analogy... Oatham posts on Twitter he believes all Gays will be going to Hell...and REPENT NOW...using his high profile to engage a wide Racing audience... ...he then has to prosecute Matty Cameron for not riding out a neddy such as Mime... Ross Neal has an affair with a Trainers wife...then has to sit on a panel to prosecute that Trainer....Its a wonder he stayed on so long...working in the INTEGRITY INDUSTRY Free speech and actions doesn't include embarrassing your employers Imagine a Cop posting this rubbish...then expecting the taxpaying Homosexual Community to have to listen to that public dissection? Australian Rugby could be in financial ruin when sponsors pull out...all for the sake of one person....tell other players theyre going to lose their employment and be assured...they won't be supporting his right to free speech
-
I'm sure some Gay Priests believe in the afterlife... ...they'd be horrified to learn they're going to Hell and try even harder to cement their marriage to God...who's obviously a girl... ...or more likely just ignore the Old Testament altogether...just as they do the fantasy 'Ark Theory' I don't 'hate' Reefer...he's an annoyance who should be swatted and squashed like a mozzy...ok I hate Mozzies...is that bad? Btw...if you use 'virtue signalling' more than once a year the cat gets it...ok VS is so cliche now....it's been thoroughly discredited...it's truely hypocritical in essence...in that the accuser is above VS and that their arguments are totally sincere... Its a buzzword...besides Jacinda is constantly accused of it...and should be banned simply due to that fact... If the Bible or Koran is being used to encourage death and "to go out now and murder anyone and everyone you can" Thats totally illegal....if however you sign up for a session in a religious facility to be lectured on something written centuries ago...and believe all of those teachings to be relevant today... You deserve to be pilloried...as indeed Folau is
-
Ok tortured in Hell then...eternally...in perpetuity....never to be allowed to die peacefully.... Persecuted for eternity with hot irons placed anywhere on the body or in...watching fellow Gays being given the same... Worse than Death is what he's promising...
-
It's accepted we're talking 'devoloped countries'...essentially from the OECD when quoting figures like this...you wouldn't count Christians getting persecuted in Bikini Fatso for example...
-
I couldn't give a flying sphagnum if you ignore moi or not... However you're so removed from the reality of the modern world down in the boring as f Coast...you're in La la land.... ..and then you massively contradict yourself....Folau gets freedom to promulgate hate speech but white supremacists don't? Folau has used his employment position to condemn to hellfire, an accepted human condition...and then expects his employers sponsors to keep his stipend going... ...what a dickhead if he thinks that will happen....hopefully he'll disappear into oblivion once he gets the sack... Im afraid your wrong wrt 'Freedom of speech'...it doesn't include promoting death and Hell fire condemnation to those who don't follow the chosen ones... That'll increasingly become illegal throughout the World and categorised as HATE SPEECH...
-
I was there!...in short pants as I'm way younger than you Freddy...we were late...in a Vee Dub....far more reliable than a Mitzi!....parked miles away by the side of the road...then negotiated cow pats through a farmers paddy... ...those were the days...lasted the first race then gonnne.... ...then they went to court post meeting....can't have been dinky dye Punters moaning for so long! Floyds was more World famous than the Cow wasn't it....sister to Flora's?

It certainly sounds like the Stipes are mightily pissed off with these Starting Cowboys..... Read between the lines..Ex Jockey Stipe Wazza Robinson "very clearly" Does this mean Gripper has developed hearing problems....or plain stubbornness problems? He also has a history of letting a field go when a horse rears....then lands back on the ground...to catch them before they rear again Bad idea, very bad...especially not properly checking on the rider's safety... Its a crock to say he heard her...almost instantly releasing the field soon after the horse finishes rearing... Get in line with the stalls Gripper...then you'll be able to hear ffs
-
That's not the kids fault though... Teens these days live on social media...the pressures on them are massively different to our day.... Our teen suicide rate is the highest in the World....and teens struggling with their sexuality certainly don't need 'celebrity' types telling them homosexuality can be cured... Or are you saying it can be...."boys should be boys"?
-
So in typical Yankee style...the Owners are going to Court....the Stipes should plead the 5th "what goes on on the Race Track...stays onda race track' Its like the Greeks appealing our Te Awamutu Jackpot meeting in '72...or was it '73...come in nod...You the only old begged here...apart from moi Maximum Security crossed the finish line first in the 145th Kentucky Derby but was eventually disqualified and dropped to 17th when stewards ruled he drifted out of his running lane and impeded the progress of other horses in the race. After the race, Borden said Maximum Security was disqualified in a unanimous decision for interfering with the progress of War of Will, who in turn interfered with Long Range Toddy and Bodexpress. The Wests' claimed the decision was "arbitrary and capricious" in their denied appeal. "The stewards unanimously disqualified Maximum Security following two objections lodged immediately after the 145th running of the Kentucky Derby and after a thorough review of the race replay. That determination is not subject to an appeal," read the denial, which was signed by Guilfoil. In Tuesday's lawsuit, the Wests called the lack of appeals process, as well as the disqualification process, "bizarre." The plaintiffs point to a state law that says a court may review a state agency’s final orders and may reverse it if is "without support of substantial evidence" or is "arbitrary, capricious or characterized by abuse of discretion." The Wests say that "throughout the bumping and striking incidents, all of which occurred behind him," Maximum Security was "entitled as the leading horse to a path on the track of his choosing," according to the suit. The Wests note that the stewards never posted an inquiry, "having not observed any foul or interference." The stewards also disallowed an objection from Country House jockey Flavien Prat, who claimed interference, calling it "meritless," according to the suit. An objection from Long Range Toddy jockey Jon Court was sustained, the suit notes. But while stewards claimed they "interviewed affected riders," neither War of Will jockey Tyler Gaffalione nor Bodexpress jockey Chris Landeros were interviewed, the suit states.

Thanks for your love Globe! I have nothing against Christians, Muslims, Zoroastrians...in fact any faith who shows love, compassion but above all tolerance.... ....a number of my family are solid Christians who are fantastic members of the Community offering their love and support to others who are less well off...Ive found most Christians are like that.... ...in fact Christianity has guided them through their teenage years...which can be a very tough phase for some... Thats where Folau comes in....Teenagers struggling with their sexuality are massively influenced by 'celebrities' such as Folau...a sporting icon... Like a number of religious zealots his religion has turned him into an obsessed individual spreading the simply absurd and dangerous message that homosexuality can be changed with attitudinal thinking... If he was a Neville nobody his lunatic views would be simply ignored....but he's not... ....and his message that homosexuals will end up in hell is denying the bleeding obvious that a certain % of homosapians always have been and always will be attracted to the same sex...its not a disease that can be cured He'll soon lose his job though and fade away into obscurity.. and good ridence... May your God bless you too
