Chief Stipe Posted July 23 Author Share Posted July 23 All good. Bus load organised from the Far North. Are any of these Roadshows at the same time as local race meetings? That would be a novel idea wouldn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomed Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 'leading into the most exciting summer racing carnival in New Zealand racing's history.' Why on earth do they need to start with that sort of bullshit. They appear to be totally tone deaf. I suppose if they had started with " leading into the most exciting summer racing carnival in New Zealand racing's history after the worst winter in NZ racing's history" at least people might have had a smidgen of respect for them.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doomed Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 There must be people on here involved in various industries who occasionally go along to industry "state of the nation" meetings. I don't imagine any of them start with this "greatest summer in history shit". Do Fonterra farmers head along each year to be told they are about to have the greatest summer in history? Most industries have had their ups and downs over the years. They acknowledge the bad ones and look forward to the better ones. They realise things can change quickly. NZ Racing had some pretty good summers during the 80s with great racing and great horses. You get the impression the current lot have no experience of how good NZ Racing used to be and think with their new best mates Entain they are the greatest thing to ever happen to racing in this country. I suppose the attendees at Matamata and Karaka might support that view but they might get different feedback elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem rather pie in the sky stuff, especially when they don't even have a functional venue for that carnival yet. I agree that I think I've long since seen the greatest summers in NZ racing history. Edited July 23 by curious 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
