Thomass Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 It may have had something to do with John Bell saying... His hind heels are red-raw from the sand from the track,” Bell said. “There are horses out of that race and out of that race meeting that have had to have vet attention to flush eyes out.” Disgraceful...NZTR's governance and communication to stakeholders has been woeful on this matter..

Thomass you dip shit, the board can offer up resignation and re-apply & go through the process to see if members have confidence in them. This isn't a one off situation with the board, been a comedy of issues that need to be tested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Board sack the CEO etc. and start over. Is there the will though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poisoned Dwarf Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Imagine how Kenny Browne, Dr Alex McGregor Grant and Jack Winder are feeling upstairs, noting that the 2018 McGregor Grant Steeples went from Ellerslie to Te Rapa then Trentham and the Pakuranga Hunt Cup has so far gone from Ellerslie, to Te Rapa and is currently at Te Aroha. and they'll be smoking more cones to relieve their nerves in about a fortnight's time.........Where will the 2018 Great Northern Steeples be run ?

They have clearly accepted your offer Meeting News Transfer of September Meetings in Northern Region Following on from the Pakuranga Hunt meeting moving to Te Aroha, the Auckland RC Premier Meeting on 9 September will now also be staged at that venue. This has necessitated the cancellation of the Te Aroha meeting on Sunday 2 September. NZTR will work with the Northern Programming Committee to add a race(s) where necessary during this period. In order that maintenance work can be carried out on the Te Rapa track two industry days later in September have also had venue changes: Wednesday September 19: This meeting will now be conducted by the Waipa RC at Te Awamutu Wednesday September 26: This meeting will now be conducted by the Matamata RC at Matamata Any minor distance changes required will be notified in the coming days.

barryb Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Am I getting a refund or discount on my membership for missing 4 meetings in Sept?

Thomass Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 Surely Marty Burns gave Bernie the wink wink nudge about Julius's trainer John Bell giving it to the industry? His much loved horse and stable hero had to endure "red raw heels" post race...smack bang in the middle of the track...where the deepest sand blasting was taking place... ...and other horses having Vets called to flush their eyes out... Animal welfare comes before Board egos doesn't it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weasel Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I understand it was not just the quantity of sand applied to the Te Rapa track but the quality as well - it was the wrong kind of sand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
