FED Police raided Toowoomba stables this morning, allegedly former Woodville identity Tony Sears and his daughter Maddy, www.peterprofit.com will tell you all, Racenet didn't name them, Archie Butterfly did, fearless I'd say.......

Looking at the noms for Pukekohe unless there is a miracle the shit will hit the fan again.........if you have a low rating you will be pushing it uphill, some ballots will be waiting for an age to start, and the days of scratching because you drew the grandstand are long gone.....it's a catch 22, the jocks will take a while to get their eyes in, some can't ride anyway, some couldn't sit in a tram, so some loyal, living in hope owners will be very very disappointed. The mortgages will still be paid at Petone though, will we ever find out who took the pay cuts? who stood shoulder to shoulder with the grass roots hard working buggers? nah.......you couldn't frame a market on that.

Why is the most used word in the racing vocabulary KIK........especially here, the answers will of course make the front page,,,if Archie Butterfly gets them into court.......so many heads? ahh wouldn't it be lovely if same was replicated in NZ?

Most of you will have family and/or friends living in the Land Of Oz.........most of you will realise that Oz racing is not squeaky clean, it's far more exciting than NZ and NZ has it's share of corruption and incompetence as well, however we have a website here with up to 20,000 readers per day, I will say no more other than suggest you all read the emerging stories and scenarios on this site......you will need to acquaint yourselves with some of the characters mentioned within, you will know many of the persons named, the author is not afraid to name them, the others whom you may not know so well, I'm sure will emerge as the story and stories gain traction......these stories make Fine Cotton and Big Philou look like fairy tales. Enjoy www.peterprofit.com

Does all this remind you of a Monty Python skit? ..........

DM is a hoodwinker, today's diatribe a perfect example. Turnover is better than expected??? Hello Dean, we've, you've been down this track before, you can't trust figures released by anyone, auditors included and they have either received doctored books or are ''in on it', I'd believe the former to be frank. The lunatics that believed the race fields legislation was the holy grail? remind us again who they were/are........no one in Oz gives a tuppence about NZ racing, even mug money will dry up, what I do know is there are countless trainers in Oz drooling about buying hundreds of good Kiwi horses and whisking them across to race for 22k maidens and then onward and upward. You're dreaming Dean, how does that old saying go fella? ''You can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time''.

Gee, when you look at the bloated salaries on Jackson St and Parnell AKL 39 into 500k doesn't seem too bad Chief. If salaries were performance based the Petone mob would owe us money.

And sadly, I bet they were promoted to senior management, on 6 figures plus........

It's like running a soup kitchen Huey, plenty of desperates relying on puha and pork bones, but the soup kitchen operatives sitting out back dining on caviar and lobster tails.....you reckon?

The lunatics are running the asylum nomates, the distrust out here is disturbing, or it should be, when you can't trust the people who run your business or our business they should be run out of town. These people aren't racing people nomates, they are mercenaries and financial and emotional terrorists. You think Saundry will walk into a comparative remunerated job back in Oz when he finally gets his marching order? There is a certain lady trainer waiting for him along with quite a few others named in her recent court action, all you need to do is google her, Kate Goodrich is her name, what she suffered no-one should be subjected to. She has already won her first round in the courts, I can't wait for the next round and the KO punch...... Jackson, Hughes and Allen will hopefully oneday be hauled up and face their comeuppance.......however, the auditor's story will be that of the most interest, I've mentioned way back, a forensic investigation will be the only way we, the Hoi poloi will ever learn the horrible truth. I don't know how the freedom of information act works in NZ, or even if there is such a thing, however, so many lives and livelihoods are at stake here, let's see what the future holds. Unfortunately our experience in NZ was short-lived, a suicide by a young fellow with his life ahead of him and the lies, cover-ups, bullshit and a coroner that appeared to have little interest in getting to the truth. The behaviour by certain people at NZTR was despicable, lying and deceitful actions are only the iceberg, it will all come out one day I'll see to that, even if only to honour the memory of an industry person who deserved more, much more!

After a long layoff and some minor brain surgery which failed to correct previous defects I would like to add to the conversation best I can...... How Saundry keeps his job is beyond me....... How a supposed first world country would allow legislation that is in fact thieving from the people is beyond me..... How there is not a commission of inquiry into the machinations of the collapse and trading as insolvent of TAB and RITA is beyond me.....the industry should demand it. How defaulters and avoiders and their nominees are allowed to nominate and accept horses to race in contravention of the rules of racing is beyond me....... There are some good buggers in racing always has been, always will, however the bad buggers seem to be in the positions of power, how is that so? On a thread in another forum someone suggested that Peters and the act of acquisition will be used or could be used by the infamous Julius Malema in South Africa as the blueprint for his inglorious and barbaric grab of white farmers lands for the righteous use of the ceremonial landowners...black South Africans....when in fact there are no black indigenous South Africans, only the San people of the Kalahari.......South Africa was settled by the Boer and the English who ran up against the incumbent inhabitants who had moved down from the lands of Sub Saharan Africa and further......sound familiar?..........we all know what happened when the Boer and the English decided enough was enough and the Zulu wars began........sound familiar....... .Peters is on dangerous ground me thinks, I predict the following scenario........Peters will call a press conference in a few months time, or sooner......he will announce that there will be no more funding of stakes going forward as Adern and her Gov need the revenue to support the NZ welfare system and to assist in the regrowth of the NZ economy. The only possible way for racing to continue is if there is a general consensus and agreement that all racecourses especially the cash cow Avondale are sold and NZ Rcing can become self funding and self reliant. Of course the voters from mainstream NZ will respond favourably to Peters as the majority of millennial's and most public servants/welfare recipients will vote Aderns way and NZ racing participants will be left to ponder.....for our very survival we must allow the acquisitions though and bow our heads....at least we can continue with our careers and lifestyles with horses....... Several years ago Mrs Bloggs commented to a leading CD trainer that in 5 years there would be no domestic racing in NZ, she could see the writing on the wall, this was long before the failed and miserable FO betting platform collapsed and long before the flawed Messara report. Poor John was advised by people pushing private agendas, it's there now for all to see.

I feel sorry for you lot, I really do. I'm not being facetious either, you've been shafted by an incompetent and inglorious bunch of shamateurs in charge of what was once a productive and respected industry. You trusted them, we trusted them, and look, look at what we/you have now. I don't have to suffer it physically like you lot as I'm offshore, but the end is nigh fo our remaining horses left there. If ever those responsible are hauled to account I would love to tell our story, a Royal Commission would do the job, the lying, the cover ups, the blame shifting, it's all on record, and I bet there would be a queue from the Cape to the Bluff with stories and complaints......in any case I hope like mad that it turns around for you all......we met some of the nicest people on the planet in NZ, including NZ's now oldest trainer I'm guessing with the passing of Barbara Blackie and enjoyed some amazing memories culminating with the breeding of some lovely fillies that are now in Oz, in any case, que sera, inshallah c'est la vie.......for personal reasons this is my last post, but thank you, from the heart....good luck to you all.......Bless......Joe.

It's called tenure of employment Chief, or a boys club, call it what you will, but it all ends up the same.....no accountability and no way would you be able to run a LTD company like that!

The elephant in the room, do you think the Hoi poloi in that building look up from their desks when the 'brass' walk by and think, ''Legends'' or, do you think they look up and muse......'.tossers'?........a Toyota Corolla to the winning guess.

Absolutely, why there are no legal eagles with 'links' to grassroots racing doing pro-bono on this amazes me......or do they not give a tuppeny either?

I mentioned militant action, well, although not quite, if all clubs followed WRC and invoked this mantra, things wouldn't look good for the Petone stooges now would it......how wonderful.

Here's a question for you, how many of the Petone rable would gain employment in the industry in Oz? Inc Saundry returning? Mark Mac is struggling and he's a talent.......those without talent are better off to go down with the ship. Maybe JA will look for a gig, although he should have stashed away enough dosh to buy a winery down in Otago highlands with all the other corporate and entertainment B Grade celebrity drop outs.

Saundry got a lot wrong, google him, his tenure in NZ will be long remembered, NOT.

My last post Mardi, promise...on this subject.........I just write what I feel, based on my experience with NZTR/RB. The Racing Minister was the only person [IMO] that could have stopped the malaise.....if he had of had a nose for racing and advisors that were up to the job. Cleaned out Petone, much the same as the board of a major corp would do if their dividends went through the floor, and if they discovered that they were being fed porkies in the guise of the annual financial report. Once the clean out began, starting with Jackson and working through, Allen, Saundry etc the coalface would have had instant rapport with the Ministers office and morale would have gone north, so to speak, let's keep the north out of it....but you get my gist...... The outsourcing and subsequent comedy/tragedy that is the FOB platform, plus the general performance of the TAB, should have been handled by a consortium of local and versed professionals, TAB Corp love them or not, are the consummate professionals, NZ already pools with them through VIC/SuperTAB.......what happened was laughable and reflective of many of the racing boards decisions. Why I lay the blame at Peter's feet, the person previously in charge at the Beehive was incompetent, we all know that, Peters had at least some experience with racing, albeit contentious, his tenure now is arguably ineffective, the costs are mounting as is the borrowing. I mentioned sometime back, in the corporate world people would be in serious trouble for sanctioning the latest financial report and my feeling is, it wouldn't survive a forensic investigation. In summary, my passion was racing, still is, mostly in another jurisdiction, but I still have skin in the game there, for how much longer, I don't know....not long I'm guessing and there must be hundreds like me/us. The salary men and women in Petone, not all, just the incompetent and recalcitrant wont care, they will still wait for the eagle each month and swan around in denial, that how it works......shamefully.

you're on the money there.......along with the traders....you can't keep exporting the best horses and think you are viable on a long term basis, especially when there is no tax on the export.....maybe if there had of been and that had gone back into the pot, at least that is something, albeit, small to offset the lost value of the TAB contribution the exported horses would have generated.

Why hasn't that happened? Do you ever ask yourself that? The place is rooted, no one gives a fuck, if they did then racing would pay for it's self. Oh BTW, to answer your comment earlier, in fact NSW gov did in fact contribute, and that's a fact......try 139 mil, in exchange for the rights to the animated Trackside game, and they didn't force Canterbury to be sold either. That will happen, and another 200 mil odd will jump in. I know Kevin Green, he's been fabulous for racing, if only you could grasp the concept, you need a racing man in a racing ministry, listening to sycophants and all the coat tugging by arselickers, what sorry shitholes that Beehive and the Petone hot air ballon must be. It could have been oh so different, all it took was intellect and understanding of how valuable a solid and productive revenue stream racing was and still is in many jurisdictions.

NSW is booming, why, because Kevin Green the racing minister in the NSW Sate Gov was well versed in all things racing, his politics aside, Kevin and a forward thinking Gov turned NSW on it's head....and they didn't need to acquire someone else's assets to do it.

Attitudes like that is why NZ went from first world to third world, fossil thinking, get real.

Let me add, root and branch reform, and to show an interest in racing full stop.......I'm a farmer he said......his words, the bloke was a bull shitter and a sycophant crawling up Key's arse........

A fucking Royal Commission! for starters!
