Olde fashioned Canterbury Jockey Club stuck in the past

[Thomass]

Excellent comments on Weigh In today with Jane & Emily giving the CJC a good old slap around for living in the past with ZERO 'jen a cest qous'

A lonnnng day of very average races interspersed with Black Type

Would Vacuous Vlandys program Maiden races on a G1 day and think "tradition is the way forward and we must protect the right of maideners to have their day in the sun"

And then they said "it's like Presidente for life Trumpbar nutbar saying "I could fire an AK 47 into a crowd and not only not get arrested but not hit anyone"

Oh ok, that was me...but anyway get the point and take note tired olde world club full of first family boat traditions

There aren't that many horses to program for in the South Island.  BTW I thought NZTR drove the programming?  After all it seems the programming committee doesn't have much influence.

They suggested a programming of average races midweek and turning it into a family barbie day, leaving the Saturdays to genuine superior horses and superior first boaters who went to Christs College and Rangi Ruru, with the added benefit of a meet and greet to create a new racing generation of superior citizens 

That's sans hoi polloi riff raff and Coasters, who should stick to their side of the range.  Besides they're too busy destroying the environment nowdays

Programming is a problem (I don't think the 2000 guineas should even be on Day 1, it was better on Day 2 in my opinion) but, you can only work with the quality of horseflesh available.

Even though the week has holidays scattered through it, maybe the ladies making comment haven't worked a 9-5 job for a while if at all.  To have a family bbq day on the Wednesday would require a further day away from paid employment (and school) for those who will be making up the crowd.

Meet and greet who?  NZ racing people?  NZ racing media?

Am I suspecting a "do you know who I am" vibe?
