What is the RIU's real agenda? Who is feeding the media?

Keep feeding the media, clean up the sport. Come on chief, if these clowns were not being dishonest, there would be no story to tell. Dont blame the media, i have no issue with it. 
Same with that dodgy mutt owner who smoked P!

"Cleaning up the sport" doesn't require feeding two journalists who appear to have an agenda against the industry and are so lazy that they have to rely on leaks from the RIU for their stories which they continue to repeat ad infinitum.

The RIU DOESN'T run the sport - HRNZ has that function.  Leaking to the media BEFORE informing HRNZ serves no purpose but to undermine the sport.

Why are you so bitter ?

You know,i've always thought from some of your posts, that you were the bitter one when it came to the riu. I don't know what experiences youv'e had that have lead you to give that impression,and i'm not saying you don't have good reason for that,and i think it likely youv'e dealt with something where you have been unjustly treated, but people who have been accused of being bitter are quick to point out the same traits shown by others on the opposite side of the argument.

I think we need to recognise that being bitter is not a bad thing,its just a word to describe feelings you have because of a perceived injustice.We need to judge the merit of the perceived injustice,and we all come to our own conclusions.

One of the biggest problems in the past has been those who's job it was to enforce the rules focused on the small players,while turning a blind eye to the big players. There was no consistency in enforcement,and administrators had no systems in place to address it,nor did they really care.It was part of the reason for the  reduction in participation levels,then we had those who's actions had lead many to no longer supporting the industry, lamenting that fact,when they themselves were largely to blame.Many owners in the past have also read where... whoever have returned a positive,for example the blue magic scandle,and what did we see. we saw increased support of those who transgressed, because many owners are all about winning,and expect their trainers to take risks and to push the boundaries.

So now we have the riu seemingly targeting people by what they do,instead of ignoring some because of who they are.Thats the way it should have always been. Had it been so then everyone would have been happier and feelings of bitterness would not exist to the extent they currently do.

Rubbish that is only a perception not a fact.

Surely you are taking the piss by inferring that it has improved?  Inconsistency is rampant - from Lamb the starter, to inconsistent non-starter declarations, to unfathomable application of the whipping rules, to sitting on positive drug charges etc, etc!

Get over the Blue Magic "scandal" - it happened 16 years ago!!!!

You really think that this RIU mob is an improvement?  INCA has been an absolute travesty and a waste of millions of dollars without ONE RESULT!

So who have the RIU "caught"? Nothing from INCA aside from some recreational dug charges which weren't even in their target!

Then outside of INCA who have they "caught"?
McGrath and Alford.  How were they caught?  By hiding in hedges wearing flak jackets!  So much for a consistent and robust drug testing system - they couldn't detect anything.  Racing Victoria has been testing for formalin since 2015!!!!  Or did the RIU have positives that they sat on?

They didn't "catch" Kerr - he was dobbed in by disgruntled owners (justifiably I might add) - no systems in place to prevent the fraud that was done and no indication since that HRNZ will put these systems in place.  The RIU betting analyst (does he buy your form analysis Galah?) was unaware that Kerr was gambling millions of dollars he didn't have offshore!!!

All you can come up with is a "lost a leg" theory and "well if he was dishonest enough to commit fraud then he must have been doping".  No proof which shoots down your contention that the RIU is consistent and doing a great job!  Their systems haven't found any evidence of cheating!

Matt Anderson - again not a result for the RIU.  Caught with recreational drugs by wire tapping during INCA!!!!  They found NOTHING else!  Then hounded by the RIU still looking for a result to hide their failure (have a read about the RIU ex-cop history!).  A domestic violence event results and is dealt with by the Courts.  An automatic ban punishment that is way above what the Judge imposed.  RIU result = ZERO.

I'm sorry Galah but your RIU form analysis just doesn't add up!!

So you are just anti Allstars! 

Confirms you are bitter and likely jealous   of others success.

Also, you may find an RIU steward gave Matt Anderson approval, if on ptve property, and The Press go the lead before an inspection took place .

So you post like on the chiefs original post suggesting the RIU has someone feeding the press about the story of anderson assisting another trainer,then in this post on the same subject you say "an RIU steward may have given Mr Anderson approval to do so". To be honest its hard to take anything you say seriously.
