However, think overall, if want new punters in the industry, it is a necessary. Why? Australia doesn't seem to have a problem with Trainers not wishing to be interviewed why should we? We are becoming far too insular and precious. That aside who would want to talk to our presenters anyway when they ask cliche questions, don't know what they are talking about and meanwhile they are taking you away from your job which is looking after your horses?! Compare our presenters to the OZ on track ones - they can be irreverent, controversial, humouress but above all they know their stuff. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issue is more to do with perception and since Racing had abit of a bad one. Transparency can do wonders fixing it. Think it be, one key barriers bring in younger punters. Since Racing seen to be abit backwards, not accepting of outsiders and abit corrupt. But hey, if want live in dark ages go ahead. If Want it fall down the drain.

aquaman Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Give Ralph Manning a medal, staunch and proud as is Kevin Myers. Why give interviews to a bunch of cretins that will stab you in the back if they do not like what they hear. Fook them I say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you consider yourself 'woke' as well! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KickintheKods Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 When it comes to many doing the interviewing and plenty being interviewed.....SILENCE IS GOLDEN. I'd rather make my own judgement looking at the horse that have someone give me their slant on it. Remember this......if you go to a brothel you scan the merchandise before you invest (in your case Thomarse the blow up doll shop). Puntings no different. Due diligence is required. Being influenced by someone else is pissing your money against a wall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomass Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 Really really insightful Kodsey.... Me myself eye prefers Thai...spicey, coco creamed and whipped all in together Best broth in town... Alors....when a newbie in short pants is trying a Thai broth for the first time they want HONESTY.... Is it all above bored and are the ingredients handled to the best specifications imaginable So they come away satisfied and not disillusioned they've been given a shit head stew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
