    We have just had 50 killed by someone who shares your views Water Boy.

    No chance of it being run at Avondale, Auckland has taken their races ie. The Avondale Cup and Concorde etc. The Board of NZTR are mugs for handing out $500k to a race that pulls horses away from group races.

    That is fine so why do they need the $500k for the Magic Millions?

    On Waitangi Day Tauherenikau did not have the large crowd it would normally expect due to poor weather. They also only had a 7 race card but their on course turnover was only slightly less than Waikato's Group One Day which had 8 races So who are the "bludgers"?

    Agreed re the bludging bigger clubs Reefton. We have a large club Auckland which has a war chest of funds due to selling property but yet NZ Racing provides them with $500k to be wasted on two races which are basically sweep stakes. The night in question appears to be one where everyone goes to get pissed so why not NZ Racing chuck them $50k instead, save $450k then allow everyone on the night to have a decent piss up.?

    Why would pulling out of Race be bad? Race was a bloody disaster and they are still suffering from the poor decisions of people like Fokerd and Co. Tauherenikau has gone alone and they are thriving.

    My favourite was the standardbred Colossal Dick which was by Dick Adios out of Colossal Queen. I recall reading a Turf Digest form guide as follows: " Pulled hard at rear, shot around field, then faded quickly" ?

    Many of our problems are due to that clown Nathan Guy. He knew nothing about racing and Key took the piss by appointing him as Racing Minister. Guy then appointed National Party Hack Glenda Hughes as Chairman who also knew stuff all about Racing. She appointed John Allen as CEO Of The Racing Board and he freely admits that he knew nothing as well about racing. In between we had Bonkin Bayless who left a trail of destruction I have very little time for Winston but I look forward to him rubbing out Hughes and Allen

    Is this guy Craig McNeill who was fomerly the President of Fielding for real? He waxes lyrical about how great it was to amalgamate to be part of Race. He claims that becoming part of Race made them stronger, well that does not align with the facts. Thanks to the Awapuni Conference Centre disaster Race has been financially stuffed for the last decade. What a clown.
