The Snake Oil Salesmen Assn of Australia wish to make it known that they are in no way associated with this bullshit statement , as they feel it is below them .

Good , or is that bad , that you have options of which shitty track surfaces to choose from .

The ridings getting scarier down your way , that young fella that won the cup albut fell off 4 times in the last 200 , twice to the near , twice to the off . The head on was a great watch .

On The Bubbles cost 90k , he was there for plenty of other shoppers to buy , why didn't they . Previous to that Melody Belle cost 57k , the second horse yesterday was given to them to train and had lengths on the rest . Maybe they just do it better . Go racing spend plenty on horses to syndicate yet are miles behind TA's record , Marsh gets plenty of good blood and has plent of horses in work , why does he not get the kind of record that JR is getting ? At some stage you just have to bow to the fact that TA and JR and his team do it better . If you want to get into a syndicated horse which provider do you go to , TA or Go Racing or any other syndicator , no brainer .

The place is a shit hole , the trainers know it , that is why they are all over the moon with getting an A/W to train on , the place is abysmal to train a horse at in the winter . But that's where the whole thing is screwed , they will spend 15 mil + on an A/W when the main track is a goat track rather than rectify the problem properly .

Love your confidence .

Haha , April fools was 2 days ago , another piece of fluff said with a slightly more threatening tone . If these guys stopped talking and actually done they would get much more respect from racing participants . The last part of the statement , bullet pointing the 7 key areas and what they want to achieve is exactly what everybody in the industry has been calling for , for god knows how long , yet they seem to have just woken up to these . Perhaps if they had got more racing participants on board earlier then we might have started achieving some of these goals by now rather than just talking about it , AGAIN . FFS stop talking and start doing , please .

Why does none of this surprise me . Sorting out racing is slower than getting the Ever Given moving .

Roughy won a Stradbroke and Queensland Derby on heavy , also won plenty on good tracks , won 29 races , Legend . Stradbroke win still amazes me .

Rough Habit , not sure if that is within the perameters of recent years .

Maybe he's chipper because he won 4 races , but sorry the overheads around the top bend showed how threadbare it is , no idea what the next meeting will be like , simple not acceptable for a metropolitan club .

That's part of the issue isn't it , a meeting there every 2 weeks almost , so all the clubs forced to move there will have their meetings run on the all weather cause that track isn't gonna improve enough to handle even half the meetings scheduled there .

She won't be out of place , will all come down to how she travels , will be huge for NZ breeding .

Like watching a meeting from the outback of aussie . Very disappointing that a so called metropolitan track keeps dishing up shit tracks .

Boy he was tough , under the pump big time on straightening but wasn't beaten till the last 50mtrs . Loving it .

Geez she's tough , great ride , race won at the 600 when McDonald eased and got off the inside and outside the English horse . Well done to all the connections , bring on the queen Elizabeth .

Irrespective of the weather the crowds at Trentham for big days are very poor for a metropolitan club . Comparing to Auckland populations is relitive because ARC crowds on the whole are piss poor , but it's the same everywhere , it's symptomatic of the way NZ racing is / has been managed . You must remember Wgtn cup days when the bottom and upper tier of the public stand was choka , the lawn and tote areas were the same , those were crowds . No one can defend crowds now as being great .

The club could have said no to the first day , run it somewhere else , WRC has over the years allowed them to be steam rolled far too easily .

The best one is whenever Melody Belle wins , the bloke who runs Fortuna ( name eludes me at the moment ) manouvers himself into camera shot whenevr Jamie Richards gets interviwed after the race , a real glory seeker , always gets me laughing it's so obvious .

Totally agree , but they could have had the first day at another CD track to preserve the track for the Oaks , having it elsewhere in the CD wouldn't have affected Auckland , just the local mob are clueless as well .

Mate i've been going to Trentham for 47 years , i remember when the Wellington populous DID support Trentham , present crowds are not even a pale imitation .

Well i'm a resonably intelligent man with plenty of experience within the industry so if i knew why it happens i would express that , so i would be grateful if you have the reason why it happens please enlighten me . It';s got me stumped .

What's analysis , if they did that it would require that they come up cognitive and intelligent decision making , that had realistic goals that lead to positive change and would give industry participants confidence in the future . Even now , after all the upheavel of covid along with the Messara report and the Govt handout and rhetoric about how they were going to shake up NZ racing , 1year on i still have no clear idea what direction that NZTR are trying to take the industry in , to give the participants that clarity and confidence to continue taking part in racing .

The thing i don't get is you have a big G1 meeting and they race a nothing meeting the week before , any number of tracks could have run that day , and i have noticed they have started doing this a bit more .

The thing is any non racing knowledgable person would look at KFE always hugging after a big win and be thinking " crikey that woman is a lucky owner , she wins heaps of races ".
