A well written article, but for mine, not many surprises at all. Winston Peters took an each way bet - he covered his arse by saying he had inherited the deal. If it turns to the proverbial, which it's tracking in that direction, he can put on his 'Wazzun Me' T-shirt. Or, he will turn out to be the saviour of the industry by pursuing it. I know where my money is placed, responsibly of course... Many on here have expressed the feeling that although the stakes increases were much needed, they in fact only represent a band aid on a gash wound. Sure it's benefited those lucky enough to fill stake earning placings since it's introduction, but for the majority of the '13,000 employed', what is the true impact on the day to day, month to month...... What's actually required is a complete rebuild of the Industry which should be led by the Government and the Minister in charge, but these would be long, hard yards and not politically palatable for the Magpie who is busy with other interests and mostly absent in the Racing space. The TAB is as much, if not more, of a cultural identity as Air New Zealand which received an $885 million bailout (also approx 13,000 employees coincidentally) Yet in the case of the Racing industry, we've sold it's soul to the devil, all for short term gain rather than dig in and fix the fundamental issues. So the death by 1000 cuts continues, and our diet for the next few years will consist mostly of spin and corporate BS from those responsible. Sad, but true based on goings on and trends at the moment. -

It seems the guy who had the gun taken off him was the older guy, he was killed in the end but the other guy, his son is in hospital, so was the older guy shot despite being unarmed or what, did he go and rearm again , the guy chucking bricks at the unarmed fucker it seems got killed, story is still sketchy, hard to know what to believe, in time it will be clearer.....fuckin sad. -

But on the positive side we do have flash new racecourses to look forward to in the HB and Waikato. Things are looking great. -

There are some descendants of the Awapuni administrators from back then still involved in the industry, must be very sad for them. -

I think the external party is skill setted to deliver “their recommendation”, but given they have to go back to the Messara report and work from their to today I genuinely doubt this will be completed in the time frame outlined There is no doubt about it, we are at the crossroads and decisions that have been delayed for years must be taken Clear a number of Clubs will close down, possibly many and asset sales ensue …. that is the real issue that has to dealt with, the rest as to where we race in the future is already known, but there may be a couple of surprises. I sense a huge “bunfight” on the horizon -

When I think of the MRC committee's back in the 60's 70's and 80's the amazing racedays, and how Palmy rocked back then, the race buses going up from Welly full, all I can think of is........Thanks for the memories, as the new Gen has well and truly fucked racing big time, Lest We Forget. -
I heard the Levin track is set up as a trust as they have the houses there that are part of it.
