Reefton Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Reading between the lines I suspect Winnie has fallen out with at least one of his major racing backers so that may be a reason why he is keeping us in suspence. Just letting everyone know who is boss I would say. Alternately he may be a slow reader. He is slow at everything else(apart from accepting free tucker and drinks and claiming things that he is not entitled to) so that adds up. Isn't Messara supposed to have done this job for nothing? If so I see no reason why he should be silenced while we wait for the bewildered one to decide when he is going to release the report.

Keep da faith you doubting Thomarse I don't dislike Winstone Peters Thoomarso....in fact he reminds me of a grandfather I had onceuponatime....he had dementia too, only time he made any sense at all was when he was allowed a hit at the Johnny W....then quickly reverted to type, dribbled, was paranoid, sometimes when his memory allowed him to he would bask in memories of the Great War....yep the more I think of it he was very similar to Winnie.. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomass Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 As Shayne Dye would say.. " he done an outstanding job while Cindy was been suckled on...yous just don't know it yet" Too true blue Steady eady at the helm and an outstanding FA Minister... From da neddys mouth yesterday.... I'm in the process of reviewing the #MessaraReport and looking to make an announcement in the coming weeks. It's looking like the most critical report the #NZRacing industry has seen in decades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poisoned Dwarf Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Sir Peter will tell him to wait until about October, daylight saving has started and non-orgasmic August is not a month for bad news, so in October they'll be lusting about spring racing, Winx, any NZ hopefuls over there for the Cup and with the Guineas races at Riccarton in November looming the bad news won't be taken to heart so much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomass Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 De Lore has another enlightening article this week with Vlandys.... This boy just keeps pulling out the big journalistic guns...no wonder he's going to be the Thoroughbred Media Award winner... Meanwhile Slippery Slimon is more concerned about the real big issues... like his leaks....and his big journey..."meeting Slimon" The Racing Minister will be real concerned about the 'opposition' he's up against for sure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in fact if he does do something for racing it will likely reduce his 3% rating further. Enjoy your limelight Winnie because that big light is actually on an electoral train coming to run you over (again!) Difference between Winston and Simon is that (1) Simon leads a party with 45% poll ratings(despite his own inadequacies) (2)Simon was actually elected(giving Winston a couple of fearful hidings in the Tauranga electorate an election or two ago I might add) and(3)in two or so years time Simon will still be there and will still have his marbles and Winston will not. From a racing perspective Simon and National are a disaster but from New Zealand's perspective(in terms of business confidence, competence and straight out common sense) that mob is the only hope we have got. Having said that I reckon the country thrived while there was no government for six weeks last year(while the confused one made his mind up) so another dose of impotence for ALL politicians would do them and more importantly the country no harm at all.

Your friend Jacinda got caught out the other day not even knowing the provisions of her own Industrial Relations Act for Gods sake! Think you better get back to fantasizing about TV presenters and woman jockeys(and probably woman Prime Ministers for all we know) and leave the serious conversation about the future of the industry to those with a bit of common sense. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100% in both cases. The Nats never do or did anything to help racing but at least they do something to help the country not just drive the boot into the long suffering businessman in the belief that anyone who is in Business is making a dead set killing(much as would like it to be true it unfortunately is not - we are not all Graeme Hart or Eric Watson). I have a bad feeling NZ racing is rooted in any case. NZers are simply not racing people 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's indicative of an industry that has remained tied into a crazy TAB only model, no outside forces influencing, zero advertising or promotion that big bookies would have bought in with them. Many Kiwis are dumb punters (Thomass for instance) and prefer the lazy pokie, instant kiwi, lotto model to using some effort to find a winning race bet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't that the truth! The National government had an economic development study done on the West Coast last year. I have seen about fifteen of them in my time. The major difference being that the first time the consultants rode up on a pushbike and now they roll up in a Mercedes Benz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
