quote: "The Messara Review is a book of 82 pages, and the probability is that very few people have bothered to read every word of it and digest it properly." It was a load of shite! a crude attempt at fostering some Centralism to the Core areas of Racing!! It went out of it's way to alienate just about anyone who wasn't in the core!!! ps, Sunset Industry!!! the last two years have only speed the process up!!!

if you think Brian has the answers! then you had better re frame you question!!! Factually wrong: "Like all race clubs throughout New Zealand, the cupboards are bare,"

have you shares in the club! if not! perhaps not your business!!!

Opps, I spelt his name wrong Paul Bittar. To me, I really like his Industry Racing Facts! he laid our for others to see what the state of the industry was in! He was Totally approachable! an ozzie too!!! He went on to head British Racing! with praise! (google him), not to sure what he is doing now?

About lack of media being put out by the likes of head office. Other sports have been getting 'their stars' out into social media and main stream media! She is correct of course! It just another reflection of 'lack of nous' re the industry in general! NFI!!!!! ps. How many Jockeys have a social media presence that you know of!

believe! Hone is way smarter that winnie... based on long one to one with both!

You must be spewing aye in kopialand!!! lol! cindy is now paying $1.02 to be the PM going into next year! where as your mate simple si, actually, you come across as a one of those! howling at the moon! entitled! pompous born to rule troy twats!, is this you Simon! In to histories dustbin for the likes of him! how sad! 3 more Years! 3 more years! 3 more Years! got a nice sound to eh!

she did post a 'critical post' via her fb page... I pointed out perhaps it would be a good time to go to her Jockey Assoc and get them to up their presence on social media. Talking jockey's!How many have a dedicated social media page?? if not why not! I

that sort has come along! eg Paul Buttar... he was quickly off to better things though! nice guys with it too!

personally! I have u$e them well! but am only talking in a 'nickle and dime' fashion. Fun to play with!

Thanks for the question, i needed to think about it before answering. The short answers is Yes. Now! here is the twist! what with me suffering from a bad case of 'historical blackballing' from key clubs and players! I presume you know I have a fb MF acc and run the cwj fb fanpage. Both!! were set up 10 years ago as examples for others in Industry to follow! Nope! Speaking of Clubs!!! sigh, there is a Massive uneven development across the Industry! None are even close to getting 10% of use out of 'social media'. The latest trend, say last 10 years, You must have degree to get any 'real role in Industry! They often have 'family connections' to Industry No real nuance to what is needed! Don't get me started about Race Day!!!!!!!!!!! Fecking Pathetic! and that is the best example! lol! I'm actually quite bitter about it!!! Enough prattle! only here as a email came in from CS that seduced me back into the site! If by chance you have a personal connection to a small club then I am happy to talk to you!

what has that got to do with HK racing?

Good thread CS. it is in times of Crisis like these! when often true insights can be brutally gleaned!!!! One of the good points about this current 'follow the money trail' subsidy. is that it is nice and transparent!!! YES! I'm more interested to see what actual 'good advise' to the Coalface has/is coming out of 'head office', practical I hope! Is everyone actually getting what they entitled to!!

No! If you were to use methodologies like that! then you would Start at the point of Production. Nationalise the breeding process! these horses are 'given/balloted' out to 'pro trainers' to race! Costs would come way way down! A question for you, it is true that the Most successful racing model currently in the world is also the 'most' Socialist? Hong Kong?

in a previous life! I had talks with the then ceo about the need to be using digital platforms (like the then embryonic RC), to enable 'voices' to be heard! they couldn't see past the troubles of having to deal with Robust debate!!! Far safer to be keeping everything 'in house'! ... sigh

It will be interesting to see who gets 3 year old of the year! what a great career Murray has built! and another G1 for OP

what a gutless prick not replying! let's get real! this is a small industry, personal contact should be made if ever needed by any licence holder!

I took the trouble to cash out Mrs Fish acc on sat..... she smiled!!! It will be interesting to see who be jumping ship from head office as the shithole gets deeper... for racing this has got the feel that the slow and steady (sunset) decline is about to be gaining some speed! no longer the soft gentle decline! , more like! off the gentle slopes and onto the ski jumping course! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... this is going to be a hard landing!!!

*nancyboy* in real life! getting a punch in the mouth from me when the option delivers!

chao$

Ouch! that 2 mil could buy you a lot a a Really Good Proven young horse in nz! as per VE, I heard she was 7 figgers

he deserves to have his story told!

How do you know? Do you have inside "sources"?

good work Agent 54

Dear Thomo, you will deep down know that with a small amount of self moderation you and chief can make this work! Thomo! please rise to the challenge and come back strong! humble and kind ( though actually carrying a fighting club if ever needed!)
