    badger reacted to JJ Flash in Not Again   
    Not really the point . The facts are that harness participants give them all the ammo they need to write damming articles about the industry. Soft leadership is coming home to roost and i'm gonna stick my neck out here and say Woodham is letting the side down badly on these matters.

    What s the basis of your complaint JJ and what would you do different.    Surely we don't want what happens in other codes - sweep it under the carpet?

    There is going to be changes in the RIU and JCA in the new year according to Harness Trainers association, if there is a shifting of staff that might help sort things out in the Stipes, Starters, and staff area, we can only hope. I would say this is where it has to happen as it is quite obvious that most of the clubs have put this issue in the to hard basket, and as long as he is under the RIU wing nothing will change.

    And Harness wonder why people are departing the sport and here I'm talking owners and punters. I know of numerous punters who refuse to back Standardbreds anymore, worse still because they loved harness the most.
    Why the drivers association has not taken issue is beyond belief or do they represent the few who do the run up starts and get away with it?

    badger reacted to kilcoyne in M Kerr Press Article   
    If you dont know how to delete a post then why post it in the first place. Do you have concrete evidence to support your post or just one of the other idiots that have nothing else to do but repeat what is already in the media without actually checking that what you say is true and therefore leaving yourself open to civil claims against you.   If you cant back it up then perhaps you should desist posting and save yourself a lot of heartache and legal bills. The media can pay for their legal bills but an individual may not be able to cover the ultimate cost.  Lawyers fees can be exorbitant in the end

    Blossom Lady you are a complete tosser, this is a health and safety issue, there should be full camera coverage of all races. It also assists the punter they can have a good look at the replay, but once again the TAB is quite happy to let us down again. I wonder how they would react if Jockeys and Trainers decided to boycott meetings for health and safety reasons

    badger reacted to Berri in National makes promises for $1.6b racing industry, including tax review   
    So I'll take it that the yes was to being a member of the Greens because the transcripts are daming. When you have a group of people having a discussion about the merits of racing, and the green members are earnestly discussing whether or not children should be exposed to horse racing because it's cruel to animals, then I'd say we who do like racing have an issue. When those same members, whilst derogatorily discussing the  merits of gambling on horses, support the notion that the handbrake be put on racing so that at least it can't expand during those members' watch, then I'd say we have a problem. 
    The first Bill put forward was the result of Labours and the Greens attitude to racing. Dean did the stupid thing of trying to sell it because it was trash. National and NZ First select committee members then pulled it back to the current middle ground. NZ First had to do it because it was Winnie's watch brief and had he not, he would have gone down in the annuls of being the biggest bullshitter on the planet. But it was Labour and Greens Bill first.
    So despite having a declared conflict of interest, and despite calling me a bullshitter, (which I am not), you're talking crap.  
    IF you really care about racing and don't give a toss about anything else, then you would vote either National or Act. National's racing policy isn't so bad. It's a commercial approach which is not what has been demonstrated by either Labour or the Greens.

    If this happened in Harness - front page in The Press , all haters from the thoroughbreds would be screaming and the “ ...... on bikes “would be flowing  .
    Oh no it is the gallops so no need to embellish the truth or the facts.

    The board should call a meeting of all interested parties to discuss options for growth.  This should include representatives from younger people in the sport, many of whom are very tech savvy and have a lot to contribute.   Such a meeting would not be to air petty grievances or have a go at administrators but to focus on what we all want,  higher stakes and more participation.                       Positive people like Ken Breckon,  Andrew Fitzgerald,  Jess Davidson to name a few, and there are many others, who I’m sure would have good ideas and like  to be involved.

    There is no template for this mate , our govt and the people of NZ have out performed everybody else . Whatever they are asking us to do seems to be the best course of action at present and until another country shows us a better way you should be grateful we have it as good as anybody else on this planet . I know i would not want to be living anywhere else on the planet . The tin foil hat brigade us would have us believe otherwise .

    Do you know this for a fact if not enough and please refrain from posting rumours or unproven rubbish....I cant believe some of things people like to post to put people down while hiding behind a keyboard come out and put your REAL name to the allegations if you want to denigrate either of them.

    badger reacted to Flawed Genius in Matt Anderson: GUILTY   
    In spite of your obnoxious persona, and overblown opinions of your own talents, legal and otherwise, I've always had a certain amount of respect for you in your "battles with the system" ... until now.
    To come out all guns blazing in support of a convicted criminal (nothing "alleged" about it), without a skerrick of concern for his victim, or his apparent lack of remorse, is appalling to say the least.
    A "decent human being" would be actively supporting his victim, and condemning his crimes until such time as he proves his worth to society again.

    Why shouldn't it go ahead? Best way to stop the spread of whatever Coronavirus is is to ban all Imitation Tobacco products in society, including in pubic places.
     It's the prime reason people are suffering pneumonia type symptoms, coughs etc.
    Those who are running the show & calling the shots are very much the same ones who have failed in their Duty of Care to protect Public Health bc they failed to ensure that rubbish imitation tobacco was tested for side effects, that there's best before dates, use by dates & full disclosure of the ingredients in that crap.
     
    Ad to the mix, in places like Italy, Spain & USA those who were getting sick & dying were previously diagnosed as having EVALI where the use of those products are available & used.
     
    They should never have been permitted into any country under the guise of a health product - which incidentally is understood to be a different tax rate to tobacco.
     
    Join the dots folks.
    Speak up & get that rubbish banned.
