Kopia Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 'Previously, the mindsets on both sides of the fence had been that we're all humans, all here for the good of the game, and you could all knock off at days end and have a beer and a yarn. But when this new regime came in you could sense their mentality was ; us against them'. There was a frostiness that came in, which I felt was sad for the industry. You didn't want to be walking around on eggshells. It seemed trainers were being pinged for little things and more. Things like getting fined $50 or $100 for declaring a rider late. Trainers don't do that on purpose. If it becomes a habit, punish them, but mostly it should be ' you've done the wrong thing, pull your head in' and get on with life. But everything became dotting your 'i's' and crossing your 't's'. there was no room for the human element. You couldn't make a mistake. The assumption now as trainers dodn't ' make mistakes'. They were cheating'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person was a champion bloke. He was extremely good and did not bullshit or pretend to be something he was not. So Ludwig, you get 10/10 for ruling out the marxist melon.? Try again.

If you haven't read his book yet you should get hold of it, its great reading. And some very illuminating disclosures about certain people. The head post could have been any number of trainers-big and small-who have been targeted and hounded by small minded raceday integrity stewards....here in Aussie or especially back in NZ by the look of some of the goings on over the past few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well that will be a thing of the past now because it was all to do with getting the jockeys declared in time to make the print media. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The polls you refer to are about as reliable as ardern saying ' we are not going to raise taxes'....wait until the thousands and thousands who are presently getting a wage subsidy have to line up for unemployment when their subsidy runs out and there aint any job to go back to. 9.8% unemployed?

Bloke Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Well it looks like she has seen off Simple Simon. His chances of winning the election are about one in a 1000 and lengthening. He is a Dick Head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think so. I have reviewed all of my posts, and not once have I ever said that I'm a National/Bridges supporter. Just because I'm not a member of Cindy's Kindy, doesn't mean I'm with the other mob. I await Mr Fish's apology for his nasty little outburst.
