With Box Seat gone whats next? I'm picking if NZ racing is shut down then whats the point of having trackside radio Greg

Good point but alas nothing looks forthcoming in the near future. Still if NZ racing is shut down as has occurred in a lot of sport the TAB and NZ punters may well be grateful for US,Korean and Japanese racing Greg

Rita Board is still different from old NZRB,Birnie the exception , but as your the site owner and we are here at your convenience there is not much point in carrying this debate on. They were all put there by Min of Racing to carry out Messara report and introduce a new fit for purpose Racing act. Most will be gone by end of June to be replaced by new board- you should chuck your names forward. Greg

Mate.Lifes tough at the top. Greg

Keep up Mark. This is from the old brigade , Allen and co. Could all this be linked to the sudden and quiet departure of the previous CFO and thus this might just be the tip of iceberg. If it was me id have the Forensic boys and girls doing a lot of work on the financials of TAB. Greg

Probably? You and i as law abiding citizens will not be there -of course Greg

Given a few stables,besides Team AS, have tried it on lately i would be surprised if they did anything. But then again we are talking about RIU so who knows. The only certainty is there will not be any crowds to get in the way or distract said peps Greg

Im picking First Class will hand up to the dude and leave Krug 3 back the fence Greg

After his performance last time it really should not come as any surprise. It wont be unlucky with Sticks on it even though its drawn wide Greg

You and others are seemingly obsessed with track selloffs. They can but probably wont occur if you actually read the process which the likes of NZTR will have to go through to access such funds . No one under the rules of natural justice can just take assets no matter who you are. further you have to convince a Polly or 2 as well , good luck with that Factually incorrect Chief .The RITA board is completely different from the previous motley NZRB board led by the useless Glenda. As for cost cuts my sources tell me approximately 5% have or are in pipeline already. I suspect McKenzie and co will be lifting that percentage at every opportunity now that Convid 19 has arrived. Their income must decline, its just by how much as they seek to source product to substitute for the likes of products they offer eg Sports and Racing when that falls in a heap with isolation events. Just my thoughts and im sure you and other swill have counter arguements Greg

The TAB's revenues will like most businesses be vastly reduced as a result of an external event which no one could have predicted. Just like any business unless the Government offers assistance then the payout can only go one way unless a left field solution offers itself I note the coaster is blaming all and sundry which im sure allows him to vent but what solutions has he or any others offered under these circumstances. I'm sure that cost cuts are well underway at RITA and that just like other businesses redundancies will occur, Greg

I agree but your innocent until proven guilty no matter who you are..Surely INCA has proven that Greg

According to some that means the team goes no good but didn't they quinella the Kindergarten Stakes yesterday Ranga? Greg

Investigations are underway, so its another wait and see before the outcome is released and or charges preferred. All the rest is just speculation as usual. Greg

Most pertinent words "Further police charges". New evidence perhaps? Greg

Has horses entered Forbury on Thursday,Friday at Wesport where he is named driver and then Invercargill Saturday. Must be the nearest thing to superman around as not even Blairs doing all 3 Greg

I should have added not calling in NZ is because of his own behaviour. Greg

Are you for real the only reason MM is not calling is because of his own behaviour, nothing to do with NZ Greg

BS indeed , and i only know what others tell me ? There was no need for him to attack, you Happy,Ranga or me. Ignore em all i say Greg

Ignore him Brodie- he has lost the plot and had a melt down if you read his last 6 or so posts. Greg

Your clearly an angry person who is not necessarily au fait with all that has gone on behind the scenes in this whole business. And no im not going to assist you given the stance you have taken . Ranga wrote Everyone i know related to this matter explains the origins of it as Ranga described it above. Was NM collateral damage, my own opinion say yes. Greg

Indeed TG. Is he the right person to lead HRNZ at a board level given this and other actions he has taken?? Greg

Very important point Ranga and the crux of this whole issue. Time to move onto the next case perhaps whatever or whenever it is the in long running saga that INCA has become. Greg

Looks like the grass at today's meeting is about 100 mm at best . Very trampled on the inside 5 lanes? Greg

Pretty useful bloodlines there Lloyd. Ross has been in US for quite awhile now if my fading memory is corect Greg
