Chief Stipe Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 What's the bet the Half-Yearly Report for the period 1 August 2019 - 31 January 2020 release is delayed? It is normally released next week. It shouldn't be delayed as the process for its compilation would have been complete before lockdown.

Kopia Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Best case scenario is for racing to resume in 6 months. and that may well be optimistic. So I'd think that RITA, the NZTR personnel, Boards of outfits like NZTR, HRNZ, GRNZ,RIU,JCA etc etc and salaried staff of all of them would be very, very apprehensive given that the whole racing industry in NZ is bleeding big time DAY BY Day. So the 1/2 yearly report probably isnt getting much traction Chief. NZ is going to be more of a basket case than it was looking like being under the COL anyway. Racing aint going to figure on any rescue package.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Stipe Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 One point I'd like to make about the half yearly report is that normally it is released next week. Therefore it must have been ready to deliver BEFORE the lockdown. With regard to the growing belief that racing in NZ will be out of action for 6 months I don't believe it needs to be. For example did we really need to close down all training? Australia hasn't. There is racing tonight from Hong Kong and Japan. With the right protocols in place regarding people movements racing could be up and running in less the 6 months. However it will require some thought and planning. Sadly we haven't seen that in decades. Remember as yet horses and dogs don't get Covid-19. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freda Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 But, Chief, as well as the Covid-19 mess there is also the fact that Rita is flat broke. Even if lockdown ends sooner than anticipated ( it won't) what the hell are we going to go racing with? Colin's bags of kumeras? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not what the hell happens to the very large number of horses that were in training, were being pre-trainers or broken in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin, the AI advocate, the big punter who suffered no fools -who painted horses bums Then there are locals like Trevor, Patrick, Opie, James, Grenville, Thomas -others like Bart, Perc, Lester Frankie .....

Yes, that's certainly true...! Colin was a polarising character, but was very often bang on the mark with what he said or predicted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media have whipped up the gullible public, and they have swallowed it hook line and sinker. Talk about big brother, and control by the state, we are now witnessing interesting times, especially here in the west. These fools will not stop until the economy is ruined, intent on making the cure worse than the cause. 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The liar is now shitting himself claiming that if they get away with losing 100k he would have done a great job. Meanwhile the kick start of the economy by Easter has been conveniently forgotten.

Trumps doing a great job in a difficult situation. Imagine if Blokes loony left Democrats, lead by crooked Hillary had been in charge at this time. No, Trump will come out of this having done a very good job, and go on to win the election in a landslide, nothing surer. On another note, mine and Blokes good wishes will be extended to George Pell upon his acquital today for false historic rape charges dating back to 1996 in Melbourne. I look forward to a huge injustice being put right today at noon NZ time when the decision is released by the Supreme Court of Australia. Welcome to the free world George.

Freda Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 That decision re. George Pell is certainly justified, and it is astounding that so many legal minds seemingly ignored the one resounding principle understood by people everywhere - that of reasonable doubt. Yes, he deserved to go free, and should never have been convicted in the first place. However, the presence of ' reasonable doubt ' does not automatically confer innocence.

Yes, unfortunately mud sticks, especially in sex cases. But in this case, George was the victim of vigilante, lynch mob justice, being made a scapegoat for historical sexual offending by Catholic clergy. If you saw George running the gauntlet entering Court during his first two trials you would understand what i mean. Hear our useless fake news here in NZ interviewing victims of abuse re what their thoughts are to the result. These victim interviewees were unanimous in their condemnation of the result, but actually had nothing to do with Georges case, but never the less were convinced he must be guilty regardless of evidence or lack of it, they just wanted to hang somebody, anybody. Just rubbish low quality radio jocks such as Heather Du Plessis Allen looking for sensationalism rather than truth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Water Boy , I suppose you have been buying up plenty of janola etc in case you catch covid 19. Yes Pell got off after being found guilty at a trial and also had his appeal to the court of appeal dismissed and finally won a majority decision by Supreme Court Judges. It does not exonerate his church for centuries of abuse of young boys and the Church's network of enabling and cover up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquaman Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Get it right bloke, 7 Judges sit on the Supreme Court. They reached their decision in near record time, 7 zip for acquital, yeah you heard right, unanimous, not majority. Please get your facts right.

Chief Stipe Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 Can we get back on topic? Otherwise I'll split these posts and create a new Topic. Don't mind the debate just this is the Galloping forum and Pell wasn't arrested by the RIU. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Stipe Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 So the Board meeting is presumably over. Well it's now at the champagne and sausage roll stage. Obviously they didn't release the half yearly report. Perhaps it's just been sent to the printers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
