Happy Sunrise Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 After yesterday's speech I will indeed sleep easy. I am very confident after I had a vision come to me of the future today. I just have one nagging doubt that I have heard both phrases before, but I can't place it... not to worry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodie Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Happy, and you believe this BS? The 70m will go nowhere. Stakes are going to go south and owners are going to pull out! Watch this space for the demise now, if they couldn’t make money when business was going well, they aren’t going to in the future and with a Communist government in power! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brodie Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) Business is not going to get back to normal for a long time and many won’t make it. Business was compulsorily locked down for 2 weeks too long unnecessarily and for what good? There hasn’t been any community spread for weeks in the South Island. We have been out and about and called in for a coffee at a well known coffee franchise and have had discussions previously. Straight up, it was no busier than under level3 for them and that wasn’t flash. Still had to pay rent and other costs and stated that it had put them back several years and business is stuffed at the moment and doesn’t think it will pick up until November. No staff laid off as yet and hope wont have to, but unless it improves there will be no business to survive. Racing is totally stuffed in NZ, and I wasn’t aware that there were so many incompetent decisions being made by the big wigs and they should be cleaned out and fall on their swords for stuffing the industry for the many thousands involved. If anyone believes that the 70 odd million is going to be a godsend and assist rac8ng to be strong again, then they are pretty deluded. Roughly$25 million left after paying the Bank and of that $25m, most of it is gone in the first year due to the $17m of running the amazing betting platform!!!! Racing in NZ R.I.P.

If it doesn't come through this bailout there is no more to come. In that sense, I can understand why they are doing what they are doing. But boy, they better be right.

On the money again my old mate. Bandaid fix at best. Little for trotting in the crook Peters handout as far as I can see. Peters will be gone next election leaving the communists to govern alone with the Greens. Racing will be doomed then... if it lasts that long. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
