    Thanks, C. Almost makes me feel hopeful.

    I heard that his submission was excellent. I also heard that Jan Logie [ which will surprise a few ] appeared very well informed, and asked good questions.

    It's a disgusting way to treat animals....can't help thinking that there's a message there somewhere...

    No, it's not great to laugh at anyone's expense. I felt for the poor guy, having had my shoulder partially dislocated recently with a very similar face-plant - and getting run over by a horse as a result. Not fun.

    The subject himself has, on several occasions, berated those who think taking the law into their own hands is acceptable. Don't break the law, he has said, work to change the law if you don't agree with it. A case of practice what you preach?

    I'm afraid I'm a traditionalist....what's wrong with the ' Sir T Classic sponsored by........'

    Can we not just agree that this industry that we all profess to love, is dogged by management inadequacies from starting practices, integrity matters, to jockey/trainer tuition, track preparation, programming, funding, etc, etc....and maybe find an INTERESTING topic to debate?
  8. Freda
    Oh, absolutely..!

    Oi....Fred, not me.

    Which, if I put the brain in gear and think about it, that's kinda what Mardi has been saying about our situation in reverse....

    Can someone explain to me what the reason would be? Knowing the efficiency with which the Japanese organise just about everything, I'm sure there is a good one....but I can't think of it.

    Usually a great day, ' Champions Day ' , good fields and very competitive racing.

    Chances are you've never impressed him either.

    I thought it was Hickman who donated the money to Catwalk....he was the vendor, wasnt he?

    Anyone heard any feedback from the most recent one?

    ...and enjoying the contribution from 'our' money...

    Not at all.. and Troy reckoned plenty improvement still..!

    Think he went faster, Chief.

    Well, we should 'get our house in order..' IMO.....we've been spoon fed and just keep wanting more.

    Notwithstanding the above - which I don't disagree with entirely - the industry is funded by public money...so public perception does matter.

    You might like to re-read......' to lead those who protest most loudly to an acceptance of a gradual phasing out ' ......nowhere have I indicated that I think a bashing is ok....but I also know that there will be howls of protest from many.

    Just thinking with my morning cuppa...while I agree in principle with a whip ban, I can imagine the howls of protest if such should happen. I think that a reduction in allowable strikes - seven, or five say - overall should be brought in pretty soon, for the purpose of leading those who protest most loudly to the acceptance of a gradual phasing-out.
  23. Freda
    Agree...with some qualifications. Should be allowed to be carried for safety and guidance I think.
  24. Freda
    Sigh.....that's when we had them...

    Eight on the trot.
