Heard that was coming ......

[Arsenic]

Funny thing that, one presenter was know to be ringing around the trainers tipping them off that there going to be raided.

[von Smallhaussen]

what next?

so far we have NZ Harness Racing

NZ thoroughbred Racing

now NZ Racing Board

only leaves the RIU and JCA

[Boxie]

Well I heard a rumour a while ago that there were some dodgy DCM's or not handed out to some NZRB bookies.

[gee]

don't think  this person is the only media person  in firing line either  

[Arsenic]

The northern presenter will be sweating as he was doing the ringing around as well.

im referring to the last case were two people lost there lives, not this current debacle

Throw in the Greyhounds to Von, They have been Race Fixing and  drugging for a long time, The R.I.U. Have been in the know and in fact I believe one "Head Stipe" has been involved with a top trainer who is under investigation for his fouls deeds by the S.P.C.A. Surely also 'Live Kills' is a form of Race Fixing , giving that dog an unfair advantage over his competitors. This investigation will involve all of the codes , Racing Board, R.I.U. Club Officials  the bloody lot.. Get them out for life and let's get some clean racing....Trackside even has a presenter who has first hand experience with Cole and the Live Kills,  One would have  thought they would have vetted her more before employing her.

Wrong - and one of the big issues with all this saga, so much incorrect information floating around that could potentially be damaging to innocent individuals.

Yes please be careful about naming individuals.  The last thing I need is REAL suits actually knocking on the door!

Rather interesting quote that as was at races one night and this new presenter came on the tv and two people in close proximity to me both said that she had worked for Cole and one went on to explain that she had taken that trainers dogs north with a live furry thing along as the ...

Tab should be more vigilant on how they go about hiring presenters

[Yankiwi]

Now that were in the day & age of potential employers trawling Facebook (and the like) to vet applicants, wouldn't that make a site like BOAY (or similar) the prefect spot to get a feel for what someone might be really about, underneath the eyeshadow or when a pretty smile isn't being seen on their face?

Have people let settle, some of the underlying factors, that might have had a factor in the departure of Liz Whelan?

So he is obviously lurking on this site....could have debated with me rather than just post it on his twitter acc.

Journos like that thou....only want to give their view.

He even stated on twitter that something he mentioned was fake news.

Hi Kakama. I was sent a snapchat of your comment this afternoon and then followed it up myself.
To be clear, I broke this story on Tuesday, and everything I have said then and since has been largely/fully accurate. I have generally been first with every major update since including the arrests on Tuesday when the Police denied it.
As the week wore on, the 'chinese whispers' started and many rumours started to gather momentum.
I was duty-bound to follow most of them up and was able to dispel or at least 'half-truth' most/all of them.
Yesterday (Friday) from 9am in the morning until I tweeted mid-afternoon, I had at least 35 people contact me to say person X had been arrested.
On top of that, I noted it was posted on this website, another one and a prominent Facebook page in a post started by a licensed trainer.
It took on a life of its own and I did what I thought was the prudent thing was... use my position to assert the rumours were false.

As you will now be aware, they were. It was unfair to the person concerned, and their workmates who were also being named and implicated, to have them going around at the level they were without anyone nipping them in the bud.

So, I view this as me doing the exact opposite to what you suggested. That is, being the only person willing to address what EVERYONE was talking about and applying some well-place information.
Finally, I will say this. Keep an eye on my account as I have another significant story on this matter to break shortly.

Thanks and regards, 

Garrick

Thanks. And maybe. But more likely first thing tomorrow.

[Rangatira]

its likely some on here have confused  being questioned with being arrested pretty sure no arrests thursday or friday and the reasonably expected one today didn't happen either

[Kakama]

Fair call Knight....was only commenting on that false story, as you say it was doing the rounds...

Not a personal attack....do like most of your articles...just think at the moment its some sort of witch hunt.

Some comments on Facebook are pretty bad....and most are from those known in the industry. Keep up the info....good to see you on this site

Garrick Knight is a journalist who is normally on the money like Brodie.

Not afraid to take on the establishment either.

Hopefully he will continue to post on here as he is full of knowledge and fair I beleive.
