    poundforpound got a reaction from Breeder in Prices Rd   
    Remember all the raving nutters who were anti the Prices Rd acquisition by the ARC ?
    I see Graham Hart just bought a 28 odd hectares there for 95 million …. and the area is now described as premium industrial and distribution 
    How many acres was the ARC going to buy again ??
    At what price ?

    poundforpound got a reaction from JJ Flash in Billy Pinn   
    What a stupid comment 
    What he did with a padded whip is not cruelty, any more than racing horses in itself is cruelty 
    Using spurs is cruelty, using a jigger is cruelty, preparing an unsafe track is cruelty, not feeding a horse properly is cruelty, racing unfit horses is cruelty……chicken farming is cruelty, pig farming is cruelty, keeping goldfish is cruelty, fishing in any form is cruelty, detaining animals in zoos is cruelty……watching Trackside is usually cruelty…..help me understand where the demarcation lines are please

    And many have been abused and victimized too, CWJ, Sam Spratt…..to name a couple 
    Racing history is littered with jockeys with frailties, across the globe …..but you manage them, you don’t abuse them ….they’re not a species you hunt because you want a trophy on the wall FFS

    And a small bitter man ( in every way ) from the RIB will be trying to hunt Billy down again 
    It’s pathetic how they can’t deal with Billy’s frailties whilst simultaneously allowing him to blossom into the great rider he’s inevitably going to be

    Nice win, lovely ride and well rated 
    The handicapper should only give her 4 points for that so she’ll stay in the grade, and win next start too, with a similar ride

    Unforgivable in my view, just pure animal cruelty and the fact they’d employ such tactics suggests they have no empathy and probably have some sort of psychological disorder

    Thanks to those supporting me
    My decision was purely strategic
    If I’d stayed in the race Efeso would’ve won easily
    Our high level polling said I had my hardcore populist 25% vote locked in, but no support from the undecided so I couldn’t win 
    If I’d stayed in beyond lunchtime yesterday my name could not be removed from the ballot papers ….and given my very high name recognition I’d still have attracted about 30,000 votes…because that’s how superficial local body politics is, they vote for you just because they recognize your name 
    The issue there was that my 30,000 votes would’ve seriously diminished the chances of any other centre right candidate, and handed the win to Efeso and  Labour 
    Given that this once great city is on its knees now, and no other centre right candidate would stand down, I wasn’t prepared to risk the future of the city, and following on from that the future of the country in next years general election because the country will follow what happens in Auckland 
    I might add that I’m still very much a player here, there’s a lot more juice left in this orange …..
