Special Agent

They are deluded on both counts. What a shambolic few days Friday and Saturday proved. I agree with you Doomed, NZTR need to admit the mistakes, drop the axe sharply on the heads of RACE and the CJC, and move on, as better administrators and better people.

I doubt that. If you've walked away that explains your lack of commitment. You might be better going to RACE for your thrills.

Nomates, what is your involvement in the industry? If you are close to the action you will be well aware of what is on the cards. There are exciting times ahead. Can't wait!!

Knew you couldn't have been based in Levin, as you have no idea of the situation. The only ones in La La Land are the LRC President and VP. The changing of the guard is nigh. Things are very positive without their input.

Where in the country are you based Joe?

I know where Reefton and Freda are coming from and I think what has happened is disgusting and short sighted. However, I think RACE aside, licence holders and owners who have horses trained at CD tracks are manning up. No longer are they going to be pushed by bureaucrats into losing livelihoods, income and pleasure. It is abundantly clear huge mistakes have already been made about which clubs and tracks are not required. Which of the "big wigs" want to be branded with any further closures of useful facilities? Awapuni is going well with no running rail and no lights. Levin will not be sold to fund those.

Which club?

In fact has anyone cited such a request from NZTR? I doubt it very much as it would be a ruthless act by any decent person.

I don't think this is a "goer" at all. It will be voted on by members at the club SGM 21st August. The first members heard of this idea of joining RACE was when the President and Vice President pushed it upon them at the latest AGM. As for there being no young enthusiastic people coming through, maybe it takes those filling the spots to know when it's time to move on.
