  1. Did it ever occur to you @Thomass that one of the reasons you might be a mug punter is that you let gossip from trainers influence your assessment of a horse's chance?
  2. No I thought you were. So you've been abused by him?
  3. Oops that should have read busyness.
  4. I frankly don't know anyone who has. Is that a yes? You have?
  5. Huh? Are you trying to prove yourself wrong?
  6. The industry doesn't employ them though nor pay them. How do you think it would go down if it were made a requirement of a trainer's licence?
  7. Isn't there something hypocritical about the above? You are attacking individual posters based on your assessment of their personality and motives. Why? Because you don't agree with the opinions they express?
  8. Yet that is generally recommended by organisational social media experts. What do you think they should do instead? Ignore it even if they think it is having a negative impact on them?
  9. I'm advised by NZTR that due to their business, the survey results will be addressed in March.
  10. If he HAD crossed the line, he would have been close to being found guilty wouldn't he. Same thing.
  11. Last October Ballesty said in The Rundown "We recently distributed an NZTR Stakeholder Survey and received more than 1,300 responses. We appreciate the valuable input from across the industry and look forward to sharing the results in due course. " To me, 3 or 4 months seems a long "due course"
  12. NZR may have some structural issues to resolve but they have one of the strongest balance sheets in world rugby and had a positive cashflow in FY24, the latest year reported. I don't think they'd even come close to NZTR as the poorest performing organisation in NZ sports.
  13. It's all part of the new transparency and consultation strategies. Strategic Plan 2024–2028 : “an unwavering commitment to honesty, transparency, and moral principles.”
  14. If you'd read the minutes of the pre-hearing meetings and the input from the JCA on the human rights position and Morton's rights, you wouldn't say that. The hearing was a facade for Purcell and the RIU's egos. and a bloody expensive one at that which is probably why they haven't gone there again and won't. They can't enforce a rule that the law precedes. So, they just try to scare people with their facile missives and rule changes and not listen to or hear stakeholders.
  15. What's not factual? For that matter what's wrong with gossip? It's everywhere.
  16. It's not a comment it's a question that was part of my response to Hesi but it's an open forum. Anyone can answer.
  17. Yes, where the hell are they?
  18. The point is it overrides the Rules of Racing. The RIB adjudicators decide if so or not for racing cases. 41 Rules must not conflict with any Act or general law (1) A provision of any racing rules that conflicts with any provision of this Act, any other Act, or the general law of New Zealand is invalid.
  19. It was a decade ago. Don't think there's been a similar case brought since.
  20. I have I think. Not my style but that doesn't invalidate the opinion or message. So it's ok for you to make disparaging comments about those you disagree with but not for them to do so here or elsewhere?
  21. Not at all. Nowhere close.
  22. Where did @Thomass abuse someone? I don't read a lot of this stuff if I'm not interested in the topic.
  23. Not quite sure where Colin would have breached this new rule. He only shares his opinion, not that I always agree with it. Maybe gets some facts wrong. No law against that.
  24. Yes but that's what I said. Not really my point though. They can change the rule, but I fail to see how it can make any difference to its effect. The proposed addition has long since been covered by the current rule.
  25. No. They are adding. 801(1)(s)(iii) You are missing the point I think. The Rules of Racing do not supercede any statute as MF suggested. In this case, in particular, the Bill of Rights. Changing the rule doesn't alter that.
