Plans are in place though to build the other 3, namely Waikato, Hawkes Bay and Awapuni. Taking their time but plans are well and truly being formulated I don't know enough about the situation at Trentham and Riccarton to comment

When AI starts referencing 'forum comments' it is probably time to bin it

Nice pics Murray

I see the usual tripe on red neck cafe with fuck knuckle and his low intellect, deadhead mates. The irony is that they are so deluded, they honestly believe someone like Matt Ballesty is actually going to engage them in public forum..........................duh? What did you do today Matt, well I got into this discussion with these characters called Fuck Knuckle, No Mates and We're Doomed about the future of racing in NZ.....yeah right. As clever as you has-beens think you are, which you aren't, it ain't going to happen

You might have to elaborate more on that. Most of the knockers are anonymous. It is pretty hard to engage with people who engage in what is the proliferation of innuendo and gossip, without any fact. A good example is the assertion that NZTR and the breeders are trying to centralise racing in Auckland/Waikato, an assertion that is purely based on circumstance. Anyone with half a brain can see that is a flawed strategy. For racing to flourish in NZ, it has to be strong across the entire country. Suggestions that NZTR was trying to shut down racing in the Hawkes Bay were just nonsense and have since proven to be the case

If you were Matt Ballesty, would you? There is a good reason why he or any of his leadership team will not go anywhere near these social media sites. For a start, why would any of them engage in dialogue with anonymous posters. You would have to have rocks in your head to do that

Be odds on that a significant number post regularly on social media, namely the Facebook site

None, I've been too busy out working, tosser

If you are disenfranchised with the industry you are in, get out of it, unless of course you are earning a living out of it, which all becomes a bit ironical anyway lol Either that or do something to change it. Don't keep on spewing your guts all over social media. That reflects on you as a person, not on the situation you are commenting on

I don't think you can read much into the results. 8% response rate and likely to be skewed by the non-response bias. In other words, most of the silent majority, who didn't reply because they are just getting on with it

RIB need to front foot this and terminate his employment and admit they were not in possession of all the data to make a correct decision on his employment. Botherway knew dam well he would not get the job if he disclosed this 'incident'. He has been deceptive and that disqualifies him from a role concerning other people's integrity. As I said before the porn is not the issue, as distasteful as it might be to some, who probably watch porn anyway

To be honest CS, racing administration has bought on a lot of the opprobrium it gets through the mismanagement of the projects it takes on. Delay in addressing Hastings, problems with the Awapuni track, the development at Alexandra Park that went belly up, even Ellerslie's new track in the early stages, and other issues to do with the allocation of spending and programming You could be well excused for coming to the conclusion that the people in charge are not very competent. I don't know the reasons why these things go wrong, social media is not reliable in giving you an accurate picture Anyway back to Mr Botherway. It's not like the running of racing in NZ has a whole heap of runs on the board, so they need to stop digging holes for themselves. Issuing this guy a trainers license for example may have not been to the liking of some, but he was offered a job as an adjudicator on integrity, which as I have said before is not appropriate because his own integrity is in question Racing admin needs to stop shooting itself in the foot if it wants to be respected by the industry it administers. You can't keep defending a regime that does not help itself, and that is what you are doing

Hahaha, and its name was Mickey

Never heard it called a lizard before, maybe a chameleon lol

Managing a brothel?
