I thought this was a racing site until tommo posted photo's of Sir John and his dimwit mate... however, just have to say that when JK retired from politics he left NZ financially in the best position it has ever been in. Its taken just about 18 months for ardern and her band of fools to squander just about all of the surplus, she started just after peters propped up his coalition mates ( labour AND greens) when ardern single handedly destroyed the future for New Plymouth's oil and gas so she could score some cheap points in the un. And where's that got the country? Don't forget the Nats got more votes than labour in the last election.

Tommo I've noticed that when you have no chance of defending the indefensible..i.e. the pathetic group of losers we temporarily have as a 'government' you revert to childish tactics, i.e. ' wasn't me it was him'... how about some effort put into current matters. i.e. the situation with the so-called saviours of the racing industry ( RITA) as set up by your favourite old age beneficiary peters which looks more and more like another dead-duck..not to mention the on going cock ups with housing, finance, immigration etc etc...' oh but look at my baby' aint going to cut it much longer, even with the dewy eyed shallow thinkers who have been sucked in by media bullshit. p.s..Just to confirm what a lot of people belive, John Key was one of the best PM's we have ever had.

So tommo, you've got nothing then.

Perhaps tommo can clarify that when he next talks to peters? Although the way the economy is tanking under the influence of the coalition of losers racing may not be the hottest topic at the moment..

" Revenge is a dish best served cold"... Hughes appointed as RIB chair by National Peters hates National ( to the extent of going into a coalition with madhouse greens) Peters blames all of racings problems on RIB ( the 'dead horse' )..even though a great majority of racings problems are systemic and fall on the shoulders of the industry itself Peters signals that the RIB/ hughes are 'dead in the water' Hughes does not want to leave her 'baby'...so whats the best way to really really piss Peters off?? Got it?

This is the nz racing industry not a ' normal' situation Freda....you know the one, where CEO's demand flights to Wellington from auckland every week, get put up in flash apartments, food, booze etc supplied, screwed the staff etc etc, and then the CEO who sneakily got his contract amount signed in Euro's, then the guy put on gardening leave on full pay for years as he was so bloody useless, the same outfit who had a Chief steward of riu who was screwing a staff member in another town-flying there on 'us'..shall I go on??

From 'rumours' circulating, it seems that Hughes, clearly aware of her demise as Racing Board Chair, stitched Allen into an employment type deal that he couldn't be extricated out of. Without costing as much as Folau as going to get out of the dumb aussie rugby union....! Couldn't be made 'redundant' or 'relegated after an enquiry'. Hence the main author of the $40 million odd disaster is now the CEO of RITA, the peters appointed panel which was going to be the saviour to all things terrible about the actions of Allens former 'employer'. How ironic is that? If it wasn't so feckin' ridiculous it might even be funny. Thanks glenda, thanks winstone. You two should hook up-you deserve each other.

Well if he asks that dickwit Godber anything we already know the answer...' well um ah um aah yep no nothing much going on pete'...what a waste of space. As for Rita....don't hold your breath....the coalition of losers strikes again!!

Exactly Freda...hmmmm..or to be more specific....Whatthefuck!! ? So the principal ' dead horse' ( remember peters calling the Racing Board a ' dead horse' gets to be the CEO of RITA ? What, couldn't they get rid of him? The tosser led the charge from the rear and has got the industry in an awful mess and he's still there..? Where's the news about RITA's agenda and first steps..? Typical of this useless coalition govt, anything they touch turns to shit...thanks winstone.

Great tommo, can you let us all know what time TODAY the announcement/s will be made? Thanks. p.s...re jaxinda...do they give out damehoods for lying now?..' no more taxes'..and today the tax on petrol goes up again...the lies about the leak of her budget, her 'special adviser' who has huge conflicts of interest which her dameship won't discuss, etc etc...

You'd have to hope that some type of announcement is made TODAY, 1 July. RITA, peters' little baby, is now the main man. Let's hear what is on the table, they've had weeks if not months to prepare for today so lets hear something...Is it too much to ask that after all of the bullshit since messara? some news-doesn't even have to be positive---and if the rumour mill is correct ( and lets hope it aint) then the main news WILL NOT be positive. No change in TB stakes is what is being whispered!

They don't have to be giants as long as their heart is a decent size.Check out Blue Point who won 2 Group 1's at Ascot this week, built like a brick shitehouse biut not overly 'big'...on that topic, if you have a smallish mare is that an indication that she will leave smaller than average foals? I don't believe so however I'd love to hear from someone experienced in this..? Or is the 'simplistic'answer that you should put the mare to bigger than average stallions? Is this how it works?

Well Peters has pulled the biggest stunt involving conflicts himself! WHY would he put Peter Vela on this RITA outfit? Nothing against Mr Vela, however he is the owner of the biggest horse sale outfit in NZ..one of his employees has got himself on the Board of the Auckland Racing Club a Director nothing less, the Auckland Racing Club have basically told NZTR and the racing public to get stuffed, we aint racing over winter, we aint putting in a Strathayr...have you heard NZTR threatening the Auckland Racing Club to get in line or you won't be racing anymore? Well have you? Someone tell me why Vela is on RITA and not someone who is not conflicted AND/OR is actually involved in the day to day business of racing in NZ and can make an independent contribution. Ellerslie is looking more and more like a showpiece for NZ Bloodstock..is that what NZ racing wants or needs? With Mr Vela involved as a member of RITA how much influence will he have in amending all of the outstanding issues in NZ racing at present? The continuing cock-ups by a bunch of mainly old retired jockeys who can't get jobs anywhere else and end up on the so called Integrity unit..without any repercussions for their slack and useless decisions and bullshit track inspections and looking after their mates who are still race-riding....the dopey and inherently wrong decisions by their pals on the j.c.a.....who can forget the absolutely stupid decision in the Matamata breeders stakes protest a few years ago, when the trainer of the horse that caused the interference ( Rogie) told his owners to throw their winning tote tickets away and was then astounded when his horse kept the race...any repercussions or discipline for stevie wonder who made that call? No? Cost me heaps but thats another issue? there's so much more but why should we try and help these idjits.....there needs to be a very big broom sweeping up the industries arse but I just can't see it happening. The 'messara' report had more holes in it than french cheese!

Well ain't that grand... Tommo I have kept out of posting here for some time as I was sick and tired of your sycophantic drivel re the liar ardern..she is lying about her connection with certain 'advisers', and she lied about her knowledge of the so called 'hack' of the budget... however, have to say that won't it be great when this child gets to primary school in a few years? A particuarly nasty coalition partner of arderns has been going into PRIMARY schools advertising the benefits of cannabis and telling kids that the laws will be changed so they can 'partake'. Is this the 'way of the future'? Is your glamour girl ok with this? After declaring herself 'too busy' to go to the D Day Memorials-which was an intentional slur on all of the descendants of hundreds of thousands of NZ people who had to take 5 years or more out of their lives so people like her could live a sheltered life...ardern made herself look foolish when the real reason she didn't want to go to Normandy is that she would have been well and truly over shadowed by Donald Trump...jacinda who?? p.s. this ain't a long playing record, I won't respond to any of your drivel

Tommo, these guys like Shinn, Bowman, JMac, etc are all hugely succesful...imagine if you were a real young battler hoping to make it big..you'd have to go through all of these routines, waste, no booze ( or not much ) bugger all rides, struggling financially..what a lifestyle. I don't begrudge paying jocks what they deserve, in fact given the risks etc they are actually underpaid..especially when you compare what they get and what some people on benefits get for doing sweet f.a. Maybe you could talk to taxi about that? ( couldn't help myself pal!)

Now I get it...the old hypocrite is going to flip over nz firsts oppostion to capital gains tax, in exchange for the 'deals' peters wants. Who would ever trust a fckin politician, especially one who has had his head in the trough as long as peters has.

Yeah well that just harder for the old snorer...looks like the economy is tanking big time...can't keep handing our millions to all of the losers when your'e not making any! And this coalition of losers hasn't produced any ideas yet on how to grown the NZ economy..just spend/tax/spend/tax/tax/tax Ole sleepyeyes better have something over taxi or else the chances of the racing industry having any real impetus are pretty remote.

short of brain cells I'd say. No real chance, sounds more like a piss take

And its the greens who are really pushing for cgt....anti business, anti farming, anti personal endeavour. There is going to be some backflips by taxi and the old snorer over this...going to be very interesting..even though peters went into coalition with the greens. He denies it....but won't allow the coalition documents to be revealed. ask yourself why.

It's got way beyond the tragedy on 15th March Tommo. Thats the point. ardern is milking the tragedy for all its worth. Thats what is disgusting and disgraceful pal.

It's good you didn't include being at a racemeeting. would have been difficult to get 50 people nowadays..! ( gotta be a bit of humour there somewhere)

Or any other religion which features God? and not some idol?

Don' t think it will be so cut and dried kiddo. Plenty of people are sick and tired of taxi's antics...it is about one insect who killed 50, not about her. And if it had been a Jewish Synagogue do you think she would have carried on like she has?

Cant wait tommo. Peters sat on the messara report until he assumed he would attract maximum credit with the 'big release' He's doing the same with this latest 'report'. He doesn't give a flying fck about the industry participants at the working level..its all about maximising the impact on him. A true hypocrite. The sooner he fecks off to immerse himself in free whiskey in some diplomatic post the better....and don't think he aint expecting a 'sir' to feature in his name somewhere. Thats what all the bullshit is really about.

? Looks like he's made a right fool of himself in Turkey..how fitting that it should be Turkey! Hard on the heels of Mother theresa Taxinda, another one who is becoming boring in her drama queen antics, not looking good for the racing industry...Peters should accept reality and let someone else handle the racing portolio and 'gracefully' step back..or has he already done that?
