  1. He must be due another decent one, it's been a while... I actually have some nice photo of Colons best one, that long ago CW was still wearing shorts when leading the horse back to scale! Gee, I recall way back then, there were problems, around the mistakes in that years Free Handicap for that season.
  2. I am always interested to see how anyone approaches a H&S a problem like this workplace problem. My starting point would be to approach the coalface workers, especially so in this instant! I've always found most track workers are happy to share their problems and joys! To 'use' Facebook and claim you are not going 'public' is a tad naïve. Ripe for plenty of unbidden... Sigh, not really surprising, historically 'Head Office' would use Procedural Politics more the Vatican in dealing with mavericks like Colon. Of course, that can lead to unbidden.. Yip, and anther thing to add to that long list of mistakes 'that we have learned from'. Almost quite sad that it actually has come to this, so early in the lives of these track!
  3. dear one ask why? So! the fat lady has sung? we can put up the W? Did, will this make the mainstream media?
  4. tick.... later, rumours abounded, that! some's nose's grew faster that the grass in the weeks after... A lot riding on it! I never got to see any races live, did manage to get the phone working for the open race, to see, that perhaps! the person driving the Action camera was all over the place! @TAB For Ever serious question, what do you think of the coverage, not the 'talking heads', but the actually coverage where we See the horse?
  5. By chance this popped up on my fb memories. Around the 12 min mark, to a ?? from Steve about Wages at Head Office. Note how 'patsy' all three were when Saundry Firmly states we are not going there! and not a peep! sigh, I copy my comments from back then after watching this episode. " debbiedavid4725 5 years ago how was he allowed to get away with this comment "I'm not going to debate wages"..... also perhaps the reason that 'not enough people bet on nz races' might be because its a industry that shits on the person called 'the punter'... re it employs 50000 workers? how many of them on minimum wage? how many on Living Wage? tiz a Sunset Industry, move the chairs as much as you like will not be changing that! the only thing of merit was the decision about Digital platform! of which the Industry is years behind! and drifting further behind!
  6. to right! or is it yeah right! though, on this one! we all be keen to see $1.05 go up and CW gets a W
  7. perhaps, the chief 'whale' is growing old.... and of course 'on course' @Ell is his protégée in place... as the sun sets in the....
  8. believe me! I've done that before!
  9. I see in the lead up to said above, that a few of the meetings @Ell are being advertised under Cox Plate day, Everest Day etc... some interesting contradictions being sown...
  10. and I Want only one of them to get a good draw and then!
  11. I so wish! but mrs works tue and thurs and is not up for a day trip... lol, so want to be there, v good mate has one ready to GO! I did have a 13 minute with a Chris Turner and I like to think we have a plan going forward, including some involvement with me... one thing at this meeting, 'this is the beginning', some Oral History needs to start,.. All the photos I have of GW are in my 'private collection' and are not for digitalizing, but for a on course permeant display, all photos were taken by the late Ken Lush, who gifted them to me after I had spent Many Hours going through all of GW's CD starts!
  12. i'm in the process of gifting the club some photos from my collection...
  13. a aside, nice to see Keely maturing as a young racing writer! I had a wee bit to do with her a few years back. *loves* things racing!
  14. so you wouldn't have a beer with him!!!
  15. I'm sure it has! As always, its always going to be amusing whenever CW jumps up on his high horse! more power to him if his action on Track Safety leads to better safety for all involved!
  16. tick, but.. because of CW's history with Head Office! we know that they will be playing a game with that in mind. reflecting on the 'politics of racing', I presume that CW has got the Trainers CEO and Owners Reps involved??
  17. different acc in our house very much so get different offers
  18. CW, a man with a noble history of defeats! and not afraid to throw a decent $$ at those losses! Never scared to put pen to paper!
  19. I did see he has shared that "certain people have warned him to watch himself, watch his back..', your use of cannon was of concern! what with the history of recent history of CEo's and Riccarton and Rangiora and cowboys and bullets...
  20. then, who has Hegemony over those said administrators? ps, remind me about the backgrounds of those you mention? isn't the brightest of them there because of the choosing of????
  21. sigh, meaning?
