Charlie Bukowski

Can't wait for his 10 paragraph excuse , this is gonna be good blah blah blah Race was on during my tea break etc etc Sorry stole your thunder ct

And to back up your claims , have just replayed the Lowland and Shock ! Horror ! T Lee has recalled the race. Listen carefully , he says "Nothing Compares" and "Sovereign Express" not Nothing Compearsh" Sovereign Expressh" You are onto something here Thomo. You seem adamant T Lee was drinking on the job , photo or proof would be nice or do you really know something we don't.....you must !

Look , let's get it through our thick skulls, there will be NO Legislation going through this year. It is Election year, the bills that go through now before the Election are way more important than Racing's woes. Have a read of some of the readings that are destined to go through before the Election and they certainly put Racing on the Back burner. Sorry to rain on your parade but it is Election Year and it's every man and dog for himself, (politicians) Great , our great white hope is W Peters, the most under fire maligned Minister in Parliament. NOTHING will happen , there is not enough time. We should be heading in with one or two or even 3 tweaks but alas, the whole lot needs rewriting , it is so far off the mark it is embarrassing, and especially at this stage. This happened exactly 3 years ago and is happening again right now. Mark my words ....

Laurel Streak the 1st dog I fell in love with. Saw him in action at Mt Smart many moons ago , superb dog !!

Lets face it , no Clubs are going to close their doors. The history is still too strong and emotions raw, and there's nothing wrong with that at the end of the day. What say we take on board a bit of Australian nous. City and Country Racing. Maybe we can bump up the Stakes for City meetings and for the Country Clubs , if you aren't going to sell your tracks and assets , then be prepared for a lower tier of Racing Stakes. Then we can see who survives and who fails but at least you have given yourselves a chance to survive. The smaller Clubs (Country) don't need to cater for crowds so let the Racing speak for itself. If your horse can't cut it in City grade then you may make ends meet by going through the Country grades. I know , less Stakes but I'm sure you can make it work , ok the stakes maybe down on what they are now but let's think positively and know this system will work , working towards raising stakes if it works. Ok, so the other side of the coin is City Racing and we can debate the Main Clubs, good grief they can sort that out for sure. The Stakes would be inherently better than what they are now and the downside is , if your horse doesn't cut the mustard then there's the Country circuit. Hell that could even work for successful Country Clubs to maybe even make it to a City status down the line. Here's hoping because what we're doing at the moment is simply not working. Rugby Racing and Beer............. Rugby is in shit street too. Racing ...............say no more Beer , yes not the domain of DB and Lion anymore is it , it's craft beer everywhere you look Cheers

LL (Laurie) Collett ??

Racing hung their hat on peters. It is about to blow sky high , peters will be trespassed from Parliament and Racing will be even further in the mire.

That's right , remember his formline used to something like FFPPPRFFPPPRPP. Didn't he win a race and that night there was a fatal car accident..

RIP Ian, Thoughts and condolences with Jan Walker, she's been at his side for all those years he's been incapacitated, the Lady deserves a Medal !! Tough ol bugger Ian was, sad to see him struggle for so long but up there now with his recently passed favourite room mate for years Gus Lindstrom.

I see a Ron Pryor recently passed away. Was he involved in the Saddlery business and/or owned quite a few race horses back in the day ? Name rings a racing bell, anyone enlighten me .... Cheers

Yes it is 7 in a row, when is the last time we've seen this !

Can't imagine Ruakaka will be letting their meetings go so quietly. Knowing Nztr they will still programme regular racing up north.

Won on Mr Hickey in an Open Handicap in around 1981 , The mighty Axeman one of the beaten runners that day ...

Still with Marcoola

Can't McKenzie just do it.... Saving $2,000,000 over 3 years...

Berri , have you relayed this to Wilcox and Baker ? I'm sure they will have problem fixed before you know it , maybe posting here , the slow boat to China....

After watching the movie. I think she's got Father/Discipline/Male issues , combined with that serious head injury she received, doesn't bode well. I love what she's done in her career but wading in calling anyone a pig is bad form , more eloquent ways of slaying Sokolski. I mean the bloke came out 2 days before ,singing Weir's praises and said he would be sending many horses his way , when and if he resumes training. That was all she needed to retweet.

I really do think it's too early to write her completely off. $34s and $7s , bookies must be reading this thread !! Crazy money , I haven't backed her this time in yet, Saturday may change that ....at the price , she did nearly win a Group 1 at Ellerslie, wouldn't mind Barry Reese back on board , hang on , where is Reese , have I missed something here ???

In saying that Chris, he has to put his hand up and say we haven't got 4 or 5 years and we are going to do something about it. Also not forgetting he has been there for 2 years already so time to step up to the plate, really should have by now

F**k i only just deleted today's programme off the mysky before i read this. Mind boggling, here's a kid as tall as Lebron James nearly getting his weight under control and getting back to the career he lives for and he cops this shit , Really was it that bad ??? Also a Disclaimer , no relation to Reece. Heavy tracks you need to keep their mind on the job this time of the year on that track. Whats with the Loveracing.co.nz embargo on the video replay ??? Everything else up, or are they running scared of racecafe pffftt

Bernard we have been playing the long game for too long . Shaune Ritchie rightly said the $1b+ Industry can go tits up. Bernard - WE DON'T HAVE 4 OR 5 YEARS to fix this

Spot on Tim, a no brainer you'd think
