Did the Filly Bite him!

Fecking joe bidon moment! missed the race live! wow, amusing to see G miss the big run from the back! Wow! I think she might get the 1600m at Ricc @3 now

After putting on my thinking cap about possible newbies?? @TAB For Ever To busy, to high on the official cool aid! Trump is tied up with a election! and a few Court cases! I recon that it is time to sort of jump on the Entain 'sports and racing entertainment' vibe! Hence Vince McMahon!!!! https://www.google.com/search?gs_ssp=eJzj4tTP1TcwLDavMjBg9OIty8xLTlXITc5NzMjPAwBkegg0&q=vince+mcmahon&rlz=1C1CHBF_enNZ913NZ913&oq=wvince&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqDwgBEC4YChiDARixAxiABDIGCAAQRRg5Mg8IARAuGAoYgwEYsQMYgAQyDwgCEAAYChiDARixAxiABDIMCAMQLhgKGLEDGIAEMg8IBBAuGAoYrwEYxwEYgAQyDwgFEC4YChiDARixAxiABDIPCAYQLhgKGK8BGMcBGIAEMgwIBxAuGAoYsQMYgAQyEggIEAAYChiDARixAxiABBiKBdIBCTY3NjNqMGoxNagCCLACAQ&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

sigh,... ps.umm, i think I might have posted up about the 'leading edge' of racing journalism, perhaps, more 'copy writes'...

and another one's gone and another one's gone another one bits the dust <---- No track has ever been overwatered ever... well, we don't count those days that a worker forgot to turn off that spocket! another one bits the duss

The real Power in NZ Racing Politics* I think its important remember that say preceding the big economic changes of the mid 80's, ((a time since when the core working class has got poorer, others, have increase the size of their disposable income, some by quite a lot! Changes have also allowed them a massive increase in where they can spend this x wealth)) it was a time when All Clubs made a profit, there was simple a Add it on the cost, mentality. The end result was always a actual profit! Jump to today! So much smoke and mirrors! Records amount of Propaganda! Lots of Moving Chairs on the Titanic! I feel for any 'innocent' that comes along and thinks they can change things! Colon fit that mould! *NZ Racing Politics, is sort of like a Black Hole, it will suck in anything that gets too close, usually never to be seen again.. It takes a bit of mongrel! or perhaps madness to stay in for a long ride...

some things are slower to change that others.... Back in a day, it might have been harder to get on 'the committee' of the big clubs! than most elected positions in the community! To think it was less that 50 years ago that Wgtn RC had 3000+ on their waiting list! The good old days of blackballing! gee, the in house trough was a sight to behold! Even us in the press room got rather well feed! All alcohol from the freshly stocked liquor cabinet had to be taken home, first choose to the senor scribes!

opps.. just noticed my requotes posting under curious, not so.

sigh, now burst asunder! it will be interesting how much traction this article picks up around the world. they were? A question of ethics? Should Colon have started his approach to this problem with a Official Complaint to MPI? They are well aware of the history of problems at race tracks this century! Any of those 'owners' also Trainers? What has the Owners Fed said? Again? Not reports to MPI

can the put up policy to be voted on? Which use to be pro rata re how many race days?

So who elects them?

If only that small amount of numbers, then doesn't that just make it easier to attempt for a like minded grouping to make a play for Leadership, at least that gets you some hearing at the AGM. I think there is some funny peculiar re ownership around the need of Trainers to have a share is more and more horses. Many can run the risk of ending up waterboarding themselves.. Any Idea who attends the AGM from Owners Fed?

(talking to myself) There were two reasons I posted this up! 1: It was rather interesting to see a Worker From HO putting their hand up and commenting on a Group page like Race Chat! 2: It was to show Colons actual level of Political 'Realpolitik', note how he was told how to get involved in a Official/democratic way! He shows his stripes (gutless) with his shallow after rant!! Please tell if I am Wrong, would it not be actually on of the easiest groups (Owners Ass) to just take over 'democratically' via a digital campaign to get actual members to front and vote in the likes of a Colon, or others of their championing! Democracy in Action

Who's to say that those two tracks don't have issues as well? Perhaps not so nowadays with the wonderful HD Coverage of any slip sliding away... old school! race and be dammed...

Propaganda rules! Would there be a 'Industry' that is current more driven that Racing? One Big 'real world problem', that is never mentioned! is, for a scary amount of NZ'ers, the % of disposable income continues to shrink! be it via inflation, etc.... and then that ever problem within horse race betting that the House is encouraging betting into high take out, some interesting stuff now on that out of Au. lol! gee, Would be rather nice to have a decent track or two to be into! ps. I recon, soon, working on any track for any keen young 'track worker' (especially ones with Degrees) that having a job on a race track will be seen as a bit of a poison chalice! If you are keen for that sort of work, then like so many Racing Workers, its Over the Ditch!

slip sliding away... that Faustian pack with the weather gods is just not going to work! Demanding a X track is now the curse of the Industry!

doh!

a deep shock in a hot bath, has helped! deciding to move some of the punting pool into next years travel fun! why make the effort to try and sort the form... sigh

oh, no.. please dont say...

GA Phillips looking very dapper

Always use to love working this meeting, hope you find a bit of excitement to had! So nice to know that a actual spring track is going to happen! ps. don't be scared to post something as the day flows... I'm all excited! Mrs, out up town.. front door will be locked, let the action begin!

some interesting stuff.. but Nothing serious like the Rip off take out rates!

but, how fast can they go! I've always like the one starting in the next race! Nice honest horse!

Catlyn Calder, replying to a Post about what had or not been posted on the Offical Website. "Hi Steve I actually manage the NZTR website and this document is always readily available after our AGM. The annual report legally goes through third party auditing, and several boards for approval. I know this because it is currently being prepared for our AGM on 26 November where it will be tabled and available for you at that time. If you ever need help finding info feel free to reach out and we will be happy to help." then, in jumps Colin Wightman Hi Catlyn. Who is entitled or welcome to attend the NZTR AGM? Catlyn Calder: Colin Wightman Club Committee and Club Management members, as well as all Committee and Management members of each Recognised Industry Organisations for Owners, Trainers, Breeders and Jockeys. Colin Wightman Do owners, the underwriters of racing have a right to attend the AGM?What I mean by that question is that at least 98 percent of owners don’t belong to the Owners Association and yet by weight of money they are the biggest investors and bank rollers in Thoroughbred racing. So if we were to relate that to say a shareholders meeting, the majority of shareholders are closed out. Does that seem reasonable to you Catlyn?
