Rowley Mile Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I think he had the good sense to walk away did he not, I remember a post from Chris saying he couldn't get any support, so he walked......they are absolutely useless, those that could, couldn't or can't.....any other industry and you would have seen militant action, the place is falling apart, some pushing their own agendas, others who have it cosy, so why rock the boat when you are at retirement age.......I feel for the good buggers, and there are plenty, there has to be retribution, history proves it will happen, my hope is that those that dragged NZ racing to the level it is now will have their day of judgement, and they suffer the consequences of their actions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curious Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Yes, Chris and P4P and others tried to tell them. Others of us did a lot of work on that behalf. Fell on deaf ears and what we see and have is the result. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did they do....nothing. Will always be remembered as the ....GUNNAS!! Funny how you say p4p told them....well he told a heap of people a lot....sadly most you can't repeat. Nobody was ever going to take him serious, so you can't expect people to take notice of him. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About as good as he has been for the world of cyber chat, so bad(or should I say so good), that it opened up an opportunity for BOAY to get going and established Edited July 17, 2018 by hesi 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well.....they kept telling us how bad it was...and how they were gonna talk at this meeting....who they knew would help....if I was involved I would fix it.....you've fell for it Curious....your still sticking up for them.....hilarious. Would it have helped...I don't know....but it would have front page news....only news you get with above mentioned is when he drops F bomb on telly..... Yeah, real smart.....the guy wants to be taken serious....yet most see him as a out of control loose cannon. He probably had some good ideas....but sadly , apart from yourself and a few ex jockey + trainer mates.....he had little support.

curious Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) Sounds like we might be talking about different times Kakama. I'm talking about 6 or 7 years ago. You seem to be referring to the meeting a year or two back. Edited July 17, 2018 by curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poisoned Dwarf Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 more like mid-2005 ( 13 years ago ) when Fairtax was rampant and Poundforpound ( ing his head on a brick wall ) had big plans to strike at an Avondale midweeker but it never happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used to wank on about a heap of things. For somebody who rated himself , must be a little sad how things worked out. Never going to be a factor in nz racing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freda Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Ah.....could be right, yes. However - Fairtax aside, which was a great initiative, I have yet to hear any suggestions from him or anyone else [ aside from you and Rodhill wrt handicapping/allowances ] that could seriously make a difference to the faltering NZTR regime. A lot of criticism, but little constructive I feel. All the reconstruction in the world won't give us much joy - apart from short term - unless the flatlining revenue from NZ galloping can pick up. Hopefully JM can achieve something there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully JM can achieve something there. Over here in the land of oz a major [ no not major, nothing concerning NZ racing over here is major] let's say a talking point is the obscene salaries paid to underachievers and how that can be? Cost cutting will be a focal point of JM's report, the wastage, and I'm being polite......it's no secret here in Oz re the Kiwi salaries, most were astounded, how on earth can an industry pay it's management that well when the reward to the owners/trainers is so small, it's laughable, even in the UK they comment on it......so let's start with costs, not sacking racecourses, although that may go hand in hand as we had to rationalise over here and let some go.....but not on a massive scale, you have to realise the distances here in Oz are so much further than NZ, so for many country towns the racecourse and their Raceday is the jewel in the crown for their sporting year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't recall him ever advocating for a strike which would have only punished those at the coal face he aimed to help. Do remember a call for some industrial action though but that was more things like delaying horses getting to the birdcage etc. in an attempt to get the leadership to sit down and talk. Maybe I missed something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newmarket Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Hey, i see scoobs opened a few more accounts. Even one called , NEWMARKET!

What does that say? can't be trusted or just low hang fruit?. Combination of the above? .He seems never be able to settle on a side or screws up then crawls back the other way.
