What happens when the top-up of poly material needs doing is another matter....won't be cheap and can't be far away from being deemed necessary Yep. Hence why I asked @Pitman for a business case.

Special Agent Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Good old Brian de Lore ... The Trainers’ Association does nothing. It is a toothless, benign organisation that is seemingly frightened that its members won’t get their licences renewed each season if they say anything. I'll pass that on to Kevin Gray, Kevin Myers, Gary Vile, Moira Murdoch, Sally McKay and co when I next see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray Fish Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago (edited) 5 hours ago, curious said: Accountability seems to be a major problem.You can’t blame the jockeys if a track is unsafe, andyou can’t blame the stipendiary stewards who are bound by the Health and Safety Act. That only leaves the track managers and the protocols for the preparation of tracks that come from NZTR. Actually, re that bold bit! Not true, while a track manager acting on head office protocols does play some role! They don't chose the historical reality that is there are now decades now of under Investment! in so many tracks! Facts like that came out in my serious research into long term investments etc in Industry! 30 years ago!!! Every critical number has got worse! Except increase in Wages and Propaganda! I think we are now seeing some compounding problems coming from this Underinvestment! Edited 12 hours ago by Murray Fish 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, despite the undoubted efforts of the above-mentioned, nothing is exactly what seems to be done. Wendy Cooper has always been very helpful whenever I have had reason to contact her and has done much to help trainers with staff/ immigration matters but as far as anything else...apart from a recent release indicating concern about abandonments nothing much else springs to mind. Maybe I'm ill- informed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
