Yeah, it's going to be great fun watching thread after thread descend into a lewd, off topic, supposedly humorous circus, that is what has been happening and no one has been able to prevent so far, regardless of any best intentions......... remind you of another site Not a great direction for the site is it? Scooby won't be able to believe his luck, as we tolerate a troll

Deluded

That is putting things in perspective Freda, I'm sure many of us could relate stories like that, I certainly have a couple. But don't forget, a lot of work and mental stress has gone into getting BOAY to where it is, it has not been a walk in the park. So excuse the frustration, when that is jeopardised by a troll, who actually believes they are responsible for getting things to where they are.... fantasy

Look at Sandpiper for instance. Joined only a month ago, and already decided to try and set up a Pick 6 syndicate

We don't need fishermen(trolls) Des, we need many and varied, interesting and humorous posters.

Anyone who has got of their arse and run comps for a while will tell you there is always one who spoils it for the rest

The issue is a matter of degree As I said, many of us have a go from time to time, including those mentioned, then get on with being a positive contributor That is clearly not the case here and gives you the right to remove

Disagree, we should not have to do that, he is a troll who purposely takes issue with many posters in an unsavory manner, for the sake of it, very rarely adding anything positive That is the definition of trolling and as such you have the right to remove him to protect the sites good reputation Nothing to do with free speech, all about common sense

Nothing to do with free speech, you are a troll and the Chief has the right to protect his investment in time and money from idiots and trouble makers like you.

Could have sworn you were told to take your creepy and cantakerous rhetoric elsewhere. We all have our moments when we have a go at someone, but in your case it is just trolling, that corrupts threads, alienates people and potentially drives good positive posters away from the site. You're not wanted here, you are not welcome, you add very little that is positive, you bring a negative demeanour to what is a great(and increasing) community of positive racing enthusiasts Please leave the site And no, you are not funny, click bait, a thread starter supreme, or any of the other nonsense you claim FYI, and others, Chief Stipe is the only one that can delete threads, although I would love to be able to delete your garbage

Working on it

Back on topic, the site goes from strength to strength 151 users on line, and it's only 7.45 am

I see another RC Harness poster who is not afraid to express a contrary opinion on RC has joined up here. Welcome Rusty........It's a whole new world

Great post JK, eloquence supreme, and right on the mark. Chief, hope you read this, it will make you chuckle

Comps off sorry It will just become a vehicle for a barrage of potshots from one poster in particular, who adds nothing to the site, but continually has a go, in a personally unsavoury, creepy and annoying manner, at those that are making a positive contribution to the site.

Also u can hard out promote a day at the races and lots of people turning out raises the profile of racing, betting and racing a horse. It is a perfect strategy to win back lost ground Directly promoting gambling on the other hand is fraught with issues

A bit like the starting gates at Racing central(Te Rapa), how did they find out when they were 100m out

Never a truer word spoken, the Cambridge 'training track' is no better example, and also the attention that is paid to Te Rapa, that was manifested with the recent example of the grossly over applied sand These guys are just furthering their own business interests on the back of racing in this country, and being falsely seen as the saviours of racing, through schemes such as the various syndicates that are cobbled together. Syndicates, and you are an accountant, that it is not hard to see, who is making the money, so heavily is the ticket clipped

Classic, do turkeys vote for an early Xmas

R1

Prior to authorisation of placings, stewards became aware the horses had been loaded in the reverse order. After interviewing all riders, who advised their mounts had not been affected by the reverse draw, stewards requested a ruling from the JCA under Rule 631 (8) to confirm the race as an official race with the JCA ruling that the race was official. As a consequence starter Mr R Donnelly admitted a breach of Rule 631(2) & 627 (1) with the JCA imposing a fine of $450

Please take the hint then and leave and go join up I have Scooby's email if u want I've blacklisted him though as the threatening and abusive emails got a bit tiresome The big thread while you were away was the TAB revamp, RC had 325 posts BOAY 507 The quality was there too as you only posted on it once

That's a very good post JK I recall NZTR did some market research a while ago, about the public's perception of racing, and the most significant result they got, was that people don't bet on horse racing, because they perceive, unless you are 'in the know', you are at a significant disadvantage. The way of the world I guess, well the racing world anyway. With the same research, they also found, that the most positive thing about racing, was how well perceived at day at the races was. I always thought that was the way ahead. Xmas at the Races embodied that, but needed greatly expanding on.

You haven't factored in Overseas fact finding air travel - 1.5 million Launch party - 1 mil Corporate box hosting 1 mil Sausage rolls 500,000 Sundries 2.5 mil Hey, it's not their money

Yes you are correct, should have double checked. Data on the old site went back to the early 200's, so hopefully they will transfer it over
