nomates

There's a few of us .

Barry B , mate chill out , your gona have a heart attack , he could be worse , he could be a pom . I'm am Scots tho .

Yea , and it's NZers that keep asking for the advice . Here in lies the problem , it's been the wrong NZers asking the wrong Aussies for their help . So in this case two wrongs have made a farking great shambles of a once great industry . I can say this because i have been physically and financially invested in this industry for nigh on 40 years . It can honestly say it break my heart when i see what we have become .

Good on ya , start with a put down . Can't be bothered explaining the nom de plume . As for Rowley shitting on us , well i can tell you first hand the industry is in the shape it is because plenty of NZers have shit on it , abused it and ripped it off . The aussie's do a pretty damned good job so we can't knock them if they make suggestions . If you don't like Rowley in general , fine , don't read his post's . Otherwise maybe just debate if you disagree with what's being said .

I see you have come with a positive upbeat post and added sunshine and light to the site . Pots and kettles .

Think the form out of this meeting will be inconsistent because of the state of the track , not good enough for one of our major days but the suits will air brush it .

If track is as patchy , rough and hard as jocks saying i'd suggest DDD was feeling it , action looked scratchy coming up the straight , much better than .

Can't embarrass them , if their not embarrassed by the state they've got racing in , nothing will . Got more neck than a giraffe .

Whatever decisions are made they are never made with any level of racing knowledge .

I do , they're not , still get paid next week , just another day to them . Can't believe JA sits around sweating this shit .

I wonder if the RIU done their inspections in the week leading up to today or if KFE or Rudders just rung them up and said all is well d'ont waste precious industry funds on the petrol .

As per what i said on the other thread , not going to " rock their boat " .

I've had trainers that i've had to remind to do a return before putting my horse in a trial , been in work 2 to 3 months still haven't been done .

They wouldn't answer the question and we haven't got anyone with any sway that would want to chance " rocking their boat " . Everybody just padding their pockets before the the lights are switched off .

Not sure we're at quite down at Tasmania's level yet but we are on the right path under current management and policies , I think we're around the level of SA .

We used to do both exceptionally well !!!

" In the hands of racing people " being the relevant quote there , what chance .

Honestly believe it's all to late , certainly when you look at current leadership , going forward there is no evidence to give any confidence that they have any idea how to even stabilize things . If we could even get into a holding pattern for a period to give us something to start building from then maybe , a very big just maybe . Can't see where the solve is coming from tho .

Look i can't talk , free holded my property off Asian sales and will never send another up their , miserable life for them , but it's got to a stage where i don't believe we will recover unless Asia and Aussie flat out stop buying . Even then there has to be a will to race them allowing for our stakes . Our G1s are at best somewhere between Aust G3 to G2 . On a level with Tasmania in 10+ years . Seriously scary .

The only thing that our industry leaders have managed to accomplish is extending the length of the tunnel and forget seeing any light at the end of it , the train will be on top of us before long .

Suits justifying their salaries , they have ruined the world , politicians , bankers , lawyers etc . Everything is decided by money , greed rules all . Look at Peters , everybody thinks he's the saviour of racing , he's in this purely for him , nothing will come of anything he's spouting . We could be a worm farm and if he thought he could score points helping us he would .

You sound like you may have been employed by NZTR at some stage , come on own up .

Don't want to rock the boat , just in case being quiet might save them or else they are one of the clubs in the inner sanctum .

As i said the reason they might have a turd polisher with them .

Exactly , synthetic tracks are a waste of time IMO , i believe they will become another white elephant , i hope i'm wrong .
