Cubes has kinda half read this and is kinda suprised how far coporate mumblespeak has become in recent times... Leading with cadence and stamina ? Epitomise vision and values ? Emotionally Intelligent ? Holy Moly !!!! P.S. The Cubemeister got yarning with Bernard @ Riccarton on Saturday and he is actually not a bad bloke

The person in Racing who has been the most proactive, financially savvy, humble and most intelligent with no ulterior motive, is his own man and is the BEST Person the run either NZTR or NZRB is Daniel Nakhle. Hands Down. I believe his appointment is crucial to Racing's survival.

I could write the job description Wanted……. some good bastard to flog a dead horse …..and round up the Cowboys running the RIU / RIB Salary is performance based There we go, job done ….without the puffery and bullshit

The bit that interests me is the false start rule. It appears the driver of a horse causing a false start will no longer have the choice of going to the outside. They start in their allotted place in the 2nd attempt and if it happens again they are scratched. Personally I would like to see any horse causing a false start sent straight to the outside of the 2nd line.

So Bernies departing and his job advertised. Wonder if they go local this time or will more Ozzie pretenders get the gig?

Tell that to the connections of the other horses who were denied a fair go. C.G.A. expects that all trades-people are competent in their craft. Had I been an affected party, I would be talking to lawyers. Agree with the post by NextPlease, seeing how long it can take a horse to wind up.

Yes - query their jurisdiction. He is not employed by Racing Victoria so, as an independent contractor (sort of), could not be accused of bringing the sport into disrepute as he was not referring to R.V. On shaky ground in trying to limit his freedom of speech.

Somewhere between evens and fives I reckon

Why does RV have authority in this? I suspect the only way they can enforce it is the hold they have on Moods licence

They are not new regs just parts have been amended. We will see from 1 Jan whether the pertinent amendments are "policed" - like you cannot leave stables with overcheck/shorteners not in racing position. This I hope will end the annoying gear issues 30 seconds out from start time and have drivers "all aboard"

It was only time I guess

Then we won't be putting that one on LOL.

A few of mine have that issue, can't pick them up fast enough.
