Assange Posted October 15, 2022 Posted October 15, 2022 Just watching Trackside and on comes Aiden Rodley going on about the Kiwi connection. Hes in Australia. The horse is Nature Strip in the Everest. Trained by a Kiwi (OK) and part owned by a Kiwi (OK) but why are we sending him there? Am I missing something? Can I ask why is a good idea to send him there? 1 Quote
Ludwig Posted October 15, 2022 Posted October 15, 2022 A happy side effect of the decision, however, was that we in the south didn't have to endure his expertise as host and tipster of southern racing. A sweet relief. 1 1 Quote

A sweet relief. I take issue with that. Last time when left alone doing the Sunday South Island meeting he was terrific. Plenty pertinent interviews. Got someone on the ground giving wrap on recent jumpouts. Tips were spot on. Maybe he was too good and stole your thunder as to tips. Your criticism not fair at all. 1 1 Quote
Freda Posted October 18, 2022 Posted October 18, 2022 I would have to say he was pleasant and easy to chat to when down at the National meeting...very friendly and approachable. Quote

Your criticism not fair at all. 100 % agree. Rodley comes across as a genuinely decent chap who knows his stuff. Why would he say no when they asked him to go to randwick and cover the Everest? They would have just sent someone else less deserved like some of the gravy train self serving junket chasing fkwits that have worked for the TAB in the past. 1 Quote
