He doesn't DESERVE success!! Success is earnt!! You train and race on the Poly - didn't hear you and your fellow trainers screaming from the stable rooftops?! Yeah well he tars everyone with the same brush including you. For all we know given your silence on the Poly track issues you are probably part of the OBC that he rants on about.

When did you ever hear Ellis abuse all and sundry? Wightman tars everyone with the same brush because he hasn't the guts to directly name those he abuses nor what they have actually done that irks him.

You're the only one banging on about it!

You obviously haven't seen the BS that Wightman has written over the years and is currently regurgitating on Facebook. He has an ego as big as Saturn and enough sanctimonious gas to fill every balloon on Earth!

Yeah a huge win in a Listed fillies race on a bog 10 heavy track in the middle of summer. Way to go. No doubt Wightman will be talking it up!!

Blame the shyte track down the shute for 2 year old hiccup. Both pulled up shinny after their runs on the concrete. As for Damask Rose I talked my mates out of backing it. Second up after a very long spell due to injury, drawn wide and still 10 weeks to the Kiwi B. Still three weeks to the million dollar race at KM night. Damask Rose was one of many casualties at Ellerslie KM night. Bone chip I think I read somewhere.

Really? That surprises me. I guessing now the issue is about competitiveness. I've always found Lisa very pleasant to talk to. Are you another wannabe failure?

I'm not sure you even watched the Hastings race. The incident occurred after the horse had crossed the line so I'm not sure how you'd justify a case for disqualification!!! The Judiciary didn't seem it reckless and gave an opinion why they didn't. Up to you to justify your opinion. There's was justified on precedent. A bit pointless comparing races held decades apart. Rules change or are added, new viewing technology introduced and decades of precedent decisions. I'd be worried if there wasn't differences in decisions. But you keep on bagging Opie. Why don't you start on Lisa Allpress? She has had a few "incidents"!

Oh I guess you don't support the minority that want motor racing banned because of its affect on climate change?

But you're failing and are focusing on single issues rather than the big ones. Highlighting single issues that the majority of stakeholders don't care about nor are they interested in you forcing your moral opinion on them from a minority position.

20% is enough to sustain the industry. Not that I agree with your figures. Support the minority 20% of which you were once a member. BTW what's the percentage of the population that supports Motor Racing?

Survey taken in 2020.

I see you missed the other pertinent comment about the race in the Stewards report. Regardless the correct result was declared even if the Judges call was wrong initially. Happens a lot actually but that fact doesn't support your conspiratorial agenda.

Well stick with your equally fallacious argument. Not sure what you are trying to achieve. Obviously you've given up on the sport. Too hard to compete? Don't 80% of the OZ population bet on the Melbourne Cup? Don't tell them about whips.

I hope she does well in whatever she chooses to do.

Just be honest @Yankiwi you are as anti-greyhound racing as any SAFE activist is. Admit it to yourself. You were traumatised when you lost a racing dog and have being trying to appease YOUR conscience ever since. Just accept that the sport of Greyhound Racing was never meant for you. Don't pretend you care about the sport because you don't.

So you attended the Melbourne Spring carnival this year? So you subjectively make up nonsense about the reason 97k people turn up to the races? You're just creating a problem where there isn't one? If you have had some late life epiphany about horse racing which you've obviously been an active participant in for a long time then go have a cathartic experience and accept that the attendances at the spring carnival dont support your crap biased surveys!

They were there. How do you know they weren't there for the racing did you take another one of your surveys?

Half that 800m wasn't down the shute.

Why isn't? The majority of punters don't care and the rest of the population wouldn't know unless you or Thomaas pointed it out to them!!!!

What if he is a serial offender? He plays the margins as a lot of the top Jocks do. In your words many of the top Jocks are serial offenders. If they "sometimes gets away with it" whose fault is that?

I wouldn't be surprised if the Thoroughbred kingpins chewed Winnies ear as well to get rid of them.

That's why he is successful in OZ is it not?

De Lore hasn't written a rational article in a decade and Lichter is in the pocket of the owners he writes for who just happened to be affected by the Judge's decision.

Are you talking gross revenue or gross turnover? If it is gross revenue then I'd question the gross turnover being $1.4 billion lost.
