  1. Well said Kenny
  2. “She understands the challenges we face regarding our industry’s social licence, but also the opportunities, and she’s the right person to help us build on our welfare standards and support the people who make our sport thrive,” he said. Fursdon said she is excited to step into the role. “I feel truly privileged to take on this position. Horses have been at the centre of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’m passionate about ensuring they receive the very best care.” “Equally, I want to support the people who dedicate their lives to racing, because when our horses and our people thrive, so too does our entire industry. “I would also like to acknowledge the outstanding work of Justine Sclater, outgoing Head of Welfare and Sustainability, Amy Johnson, current Head of Education, Training and Development, and their respective teams. “Their dedication and passion have had an immense impact on the industry, and I look forward to continuing and building on their work,” Fursdon said. Ballesty also noted the resignation of Justine Sclater from her role as Head of Welfare and Sustainability, paying tribute to the impact she and the wider welfare team have had across the industry. “We acknowledge the outstanding service of Justine Sclater and her team, whose work has made a lasting impact on the industry. The foundations they have built will ensure Sam is well placed to take this work forward,” Ballesty said.

It's just rearranging furniture at further unnecessary cost to the industry.
  3. But don't hot shot stables employ office staff to do the paperwork.
  4. The race date was probably finalised long before the rugby was.
  5. What do you not understand in that???
  6. Fine. Dont watch if you can't hack it. By the way jumping has been driven into the ground more than flat racing because of inept industry control.
  7. Exactly. Some worthy winners of course but the whole thing smacks of nepotism. Folks will not support people and organisations whose main aim in life is feathering their own nests. Is it really necessary for the expense of glitz and glamour.
  8. Totally agree Freda. Unfortunately it's easier to brand the riders as incompetent. Racing officialdom continues to shoot itself in the foot.
  9. Yup. Can't upset the inner circle can we.
  10. Nah Joined up last year. Never heard another word.
  11. I know the feeling Jess. Watching races on the TAB site and app is a pain in the arse.
  12. That's what some want to do.
  13. It's called shit happens. Not a lot can be done about it.
  14. LOVERACING.NZ WEBSITE UPDATE The future launch of the new LOVERACING.NZ website will be decided as an outcome of the current Board strategy process that will inform NZTR priorities over the next few seasons. This investment has not been wasted, instead paused to align with strategy. Can anyone translate please.
  15. Yes it is. Gremlins me thinks.
  16. Most owners in those days were mostly in the game for the sport. Waikato wallet disciples changed all that.
  17. Not unusual is it Chiefy? And they wonder why people don't bother any more. What happens when you sell out to foreign organisations aye.
  18. Same here DB. Pigs will fly before you catch me praising those bastards.
  19. C'mon Chiefy. Bit pedantic there. Everyone knows Freda's friend is correct. They obviously meant Auckland/Waikato. Its been on the unpublished agenda for some time in the corridors of power.
