It was a load of shite! a crude attempt at fostering some Centralism to the Core areas of Racing!! It went out of it's way to alienate just about anyone who wasn't in the core!!! ps, Sunset Industry!!! the last two years have only speed the process up!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curious Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Remember running into a syndicate out for dinner celebrating one night after a Riccarton meeting. Horse went ordinary they said. They had a syndicate policy of celebrating when they got beat not when they won. More parties that way! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
