  1. Well you can look at your political mates for this problem. Nathan Clown as Minister who knew nothing about racing appointed a National Party hack, Glenda Hughes who knew nothing about racing as the Racing Board Chair and she apponted a broken down state servant who also knew nothing about racing as the CEO.
  2. A real shame. One of my highlights was to listen to Miles Davis and Ricardo Ball making their selections for the EPL at 9am each Friday.
  3. True, not quantity but there were quality horses and performances. Te Akau Shark and Jennifer Eclles were both brilliant on the day
  4. It's thought provocking stuff. Only problem is that Rutherford hardly covered himself with Glory as the CEO of Waikato. He clearly had no idea about how to attract a crowd. The fields for their February meeting were great as was the racing but the on course crowd was sparse. In Fact Waikato's on course turn over for the day was less than Tauherenikau's on course Waitangi day meeting. Also Cambridge Stud pulled their sponsorship as they were unhappy with the very poor crowds Waikato was attracting. Then there were the times when he was off commentating at the cricket when there was a race meeting at Te Rapa.
  5. Formerly CEO of Race: He was instrumental in the construction of the conference centre at Awapuni when they did not have the money to pay for it. A legacy that they are still grappling with today
  6. Well it looks like she has seen off Simple Simon. His chances of winning the election are about one in a 1000 and lengthening. He is a Dick Head.
  7. The Marxist Melon? Surely that was Rob (The Socialist) Muldoon
  8. Only 20 odd from Covid 19 in NZ, Sweden has had 3500 die from covid 19 (official stats) and still climbing.
  9. No Right: Simple Simon endorsed the Government' s actions on the day that lockdown was announced
  10. Well Simple Simon said at the announcement of Level 4 that he supported the Government's move 100%. So the same would have happened if he, Benefit, Crusher and Co were in Government.
  11. My point is that 3500 covid 19 related deaths have happened in Sweden. Those are the official stats not some other method that you are trying to dream up.
  12. The Covid 19 deaths in Sweden now almost 3,500.
  13. Mate they are in the shit .
  14. No you have used a poor example in Sweden to try and justify some sort of point
  15. Yes but only 20 odd from Covid 19 and Sweden has over 3,000 from Covid 19 and still climbing.
  16. Well they have just gone over 3,000 deaths and still climbing and now they are shitting themselves because their experiment is a failure.
  17. Hey Water Boy , I suppose you have been buying up plenty of janola etc in case you catch covid 19. Yes Pell got off after being found guilty at a trial and also had his appeal to the court of appeal dismissed and finally won a majority decision by Supreme Court Judges. It does not exonerate his church for centuries of abuse of young boys and the Church's network of enabling and cover up.
  18. The ATC's expertise is in running race meetings, not carrying out property development which they clearly knew little about. "Race" also learned the same lesson.
  19. Spoken like a true Trump puppet. The liar is now shitting himself claiming that if they get away with losing 100k he would have done a great job. Meanwhile the kick start of the economy by Easter has been conveniently forgotten.
  20. I hope I am wrong but this could blow up virtually over night. That stupid prick Trump was predicting a few weeks ago that it was going to disappear in no time. Look where they are now!
  21. For his sins I see that George is on the Board of NZTR. In fact the Board is filling with those of close connections to The Auckland Racing Club.
  22. Yes it has got more complicated. The Wellington Racing Club need a forensic accountant to go back and see what Fokerd was up to given that he was The Treasurer when they went broke and he has now been struck off for fraud. Will it happen? No, because the WRC Committee will say that he was a good fellow.
  23. Simple Simon: By Fuckin Useless Out of Caught Behind The Bike Stands Trainer: Jamie Lee Ross Of no fixed abode Was gelded shortly after being broken in by Jamie Lee, then showed no ability so did not get to the races.
  24. You need a holiday mate. I suggest Venice.
  25. Former Treasurer of The Wellington Racing Club, John Fokerd has been struck off by The Accountants' Society. He was previously suspended. He admitted stealing $650k and has repaid this but to date has not been charged with Fraud.
