  1. 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!!
  2. 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?
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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!
  6. 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!!!
  7. *nancyboy* in real life! getting a punch in the mouth from me when the option delivers!
  8. 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
  9. he deserves to have his story told!
  10. How do you know? Do you have inside "sources"?
  11. good work Agent 54
  12. 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!)
  13. I would be keen to better understand the split between the 'technocrats', the I.T workers etc. and the 'talking heads' and the bureaucrats ?
  14. As soon as she appeared on the screen on sat I jumped up and yelled to the mrs to come and see how well she presented! ? ps. Did James get fined for his victory pat!!!!
  15. very easy to do! 'we' cashed out today! money to be transferred onto our 'mental health account'. lol! the thought of the tab going belly up!!! with to much of my ca$h in it!!!! was way to hard to bear thinking about! Still enough in there to have decent go if something catches my punting eye! gee, otherwise, everything seems to be going silent! our Hood has never been so quite!
  16. who they be? can't be hard to track all them down job titles? would it? would we know many of these? what job titles fit this bracket?
  17. lol! I'm like a excited 7 yr old waiting to get picked up for rugby! I hope we get lots of lead in time!
  18. i was thinking the same thing!
  19. Class, has always been in play re NZ Racing! It looks like 'Ownership' has moved more and more back to a area of the Dominate Owner, off a hundred years or so.! It seems to be a Player today! You first must make the $$$$ elsewhere first! Do you understand what a Sunset Industry is Greg?
  20. more like! where the first Court case starts... odds on it's going to be another case of "and the winner$ were the Lawyer$". again
  21. I've heard they have build a statue of him near by at Stratford!
  22. Back when the stock market was boiling and the lights for night racing were burning! it was a exciting place to be! There had been concerned about weather our camera gair/film would be fit for purpose! it just was! Lots of Press to be had in the Press Room! Which was well stocked with liquor!!! It was a pleasure to be taking photos there! a slow and steady decline since those days! sigh...
  23. leading to a promotion for you???? ?
  24. re Slipper, often I find this is the hardest of the ozzzie G1's to work out... and on top of things a track that will not be suitable for many... a great race to be watching... ps, tiz great to see a young kiwi couple with the #1 in the race!
