Wingman Posted February 1 Author Share Posted February 1 Just adds to the 'woeful' lack of professionalism in such a critical part of the industry. As an aside are you connected to the Auckland cup winner? (1982..I think) Got me out of a huge hole as an over confident young man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Whats the bet that none of this equipment has been audited or anything probably since jesus was a carpenter. and they probably don’t have a proper back up system. remember seeing on racing.com one day a story on it and they would always use two cameras regardless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Agent Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Wow. How bad is that? Thomass wasn't happy and now he won't be the only one. How can licence holders be told they must be professional and then we see these double standards where, to the public it looks all rosy with big stakes etc, yet we have non-existent cameras, patchy track watering as shown to the world via drone, boxes that can't be shut, broken clips and chains on tie up stalls, not enough tie up stalls and nowhere to walk your horse or give it a pee before running? Wingman uses the word fundamental which is apt, and lacking. Chief, call me negative and a moaner if you like but, I don't understand why these matters occur and are accepted and expected. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freda Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 There is a new position advertised for NZTR...Racing Coordinator i think it was turned...yet more Empire building, money down the drain for more unnecessary salaries. And the Hurunui picnic raceday yesterday in North Canterbury went ahead with huge support, great success and not a fkwt from head office in sight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Agent Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I wonder what that job would entail. Maybe it's something that can be filled internally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curious Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Yes, key role in the NRB. One area of NZTR that seems to have pretty much always operated efficiently and effectively. Hopefully, they can find the right person for the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
