Thomass Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 At least they got rid of Foskett...even though he got an honourable 'Suits' like discharge..."we've thoroughly loved your work" b/s... theyve now brought in Todd Treweek...good genes...and Old enough to have some international experience behind him.... ...maybe the old timers will get in his ear and tell him not to believe in any fairies in the garden...I.e. Water, keep it long for a good cushion, pick a beautiful looking grass so it looks good on telly... ...anyway NZTR have decreed each club will provide a Track Maintenance program each year... ...and a Blue Print for any major works...overseen by Toddy Maybe it'll work...anything would be better than what we got over the last few years Quote
Poisoned Dwarf Posted November 21, 2018 Posted November 21, 2018 you mean they want to appear to be seen to " finally take track maintenance seriously " 1 Quote
Thomass Posted November 21, 2018 Author Posted November 21, 2018 Oh yep it's all about appearances.... Todd appears to have a bit of gravitas the way their talking though Will his father have his ear....for a bit of old time/new time stuff? If the Arstralians go ahead and stop over watering...and that works.. ...will he look into the science...or just follow? Quote

The manner in which NZTR have insisted tracks are presented is fundamentally flawed. There needs to be a new philosophy. Not all 'new' ideas are constructive and result in good outcomes. ⛷️ Quote

Freda let’s hope your place is “first cab of the rank” so we don’t have to put up with the shit they served up last week. Premier Race Day and everyone wants to stay away from the fence is not good enough. First job take the control of irrigation away. 1 Quote

Foskett appeared to get the DCM after the Otaki debacle.... ...Maybe before that the roots were sewn for Bernie... with issue after issue... Your Track Manager is the head of the Assoc. Freda...have you ever chewed the fat with him over irrigation Type chit chat and deep rooted strategic outcomes?? Quote

He's not really a 'chewing the fat ' kinda guy....to be fair many of the track problems he has inherited, not created.. but the pervading culture doesn't fill one with confidence. Quote
Thomass Posted November 21, 2018 Author Posted November 21, 2018 Ok, what about asking him straight... "wtf did you guys talk about at Ellerslie...deep rooting grasses or did you go up for a giant piss up...especially when the Aussies came over as well" that Quote
Thomass Posted November 21, 2018 Author Posted November 21, 2018 Now this is a really weird headline.... Bernie...you pull the f in strings son... Youve been in the job long enough to know wtf to do about it..surely? Quote
Mark D Posted November 22, 2018 Posted November 22, 2018 Plus he is the CEO of NZTR isn't he - his wish is his command - he doesn't need board approval - eejit. Quote
Thomass Posted November 22, 2018 Author Posted November 22, 2018 Exactly..it's just a bizarre headline... Is there something we don't know about perhaps... Has he taken over the vacant Harness CEO's position? ..and he's shooting from the outside? Quote
