If you've listen to any press conferences or any other CEO recently you've heard 99% of what he says.

agree

What I mean is the fanfare surrounding these announcements appears misplaced, take the 1 month out from here and their season is effectively over i.e. most of their stable going to the paddock in next 4-6 weeks anyway, the pressure is on the stables who normally get horses ready for winter racing do they continue or pull out. Would have been interesting to hear the reaction from these stables if the lockdown was say July/Aug/Sept which would have completely finished their seasons.
-
In one month its basically NZ winter, these stables are hardly bastions of winter racing its an obvious decision for them , the one month out effectively means their season is over. They hardly require a round of applause for it. Would have been interesting to see what they would have done if this occurred in Aug/Sept.

BREAKING : Racing has been suspended in Victoria effective immediately following a licensed person being required to undergo testing for COVID-19. This has abandoned meetings for Sandown (today) & Kilmore / Pakenham tomorrow. Surely no hope of carrying on?
-
Not really stables that have made a large commitment to winter racing in the past at any rate.

Perhaps we might all learn to miss it again ;0

Agree , whats the point in clubs with incredible facilities, event staff etc operating as per normal. Time to reshuffle the calendar head back to the back bone of the sport - country racing !

They might have to , can't see them having many other places to go and work.

8 weeks no pay for jocks, I'd think they'd mind.

Not on an industry day it wouldn't, they could spend a $1000 on course each and the club wouldn't make a thing out of them.

It's not different at all, its being implied his trip to SA was a junket and potentially a waste of industry resources , no different to others in the industry taking the proverbial also...well I suppose it is different they never get called out .
