  1. Nonsense but whatever spins your wheels. The only reason i posted CG's CV was to see Torch's by way of comparison . Of course he wont/cant put up because he has no expertise in Governance/Executive positions but feels able to bag a guy who has been in such positions and acquitted himself successfully. I'm not saying he is perfect as no-one is. I'm pretty sure you wont get many that think that CG was inferior to previous chairs including the one he rolled But each to their own as its a Racing Chat site and a good one at that.
  2. Surely that cant continue CMN.
  3. Given the above , how would you like to be on HRNZ board knowing that the right thing to do is to stop subsidizing ATC to the extent they currently do by less funding. Anyone see any of the current lot sticking their head above the parapet to cease the current nonsense?
  4. I try my best but Torch seems beyond uninitiated on the topic of board functions/responsibilities.
  5. What a champion you are. Makes for interesting reading that case
  6. You need to click reset under the submit button on the decisions page and it will give you the latest
  7. And still you wont front with your record. If you cant see the success he has brought to NZTR and Warriors in different roles then your blind and stupid You seem incapable of understanding the role of Chairman. For starters, its not a 40 hour a week job, might i suggest you go and do the introductory IOD course to assist your knowledge of governance as you seem to have no idea at present.
  8. Judging by your posts it appears you have some personal issues with Cameron George and his input to NZ racing. I asked you earlier what contribution have you made at Executive/Governance level in NZ Racing, you didn't answer, so i will ask again and you can brief us all. Once again you diverted away from that simple question with the above RIU comment. As we can see below he left that position in 2012 so how is that relevant? Heres CG's CV, looks more than useful to me- Show us yours to give yourself some Cred on here?. Or will we just get more diversions/excuses from you ?

  9. Given the NZTR track revue process is still underway its not a silly idea to reconsider the merits of Foxton. Ive been saying for the last 20 months or so they should use it even if its only for midweek meetings. The only way you can replicate a sand based track is to unload tons of the stuff by truck to the inland course. If that's the track they want to go down and its cost effective then sobeit.
  10. Probably not as bad as George, his performance was ordinary in a few of the races i watched. I'm sure his supporters will disagree but, I'm just just voicing my opinion
  11. Emma's a busy lady at present So they are looking for another board member, who would you suggest/approach. Ill kick it off with Luke Radich as my choice. Rodney Schick Appointed as NZTR Director The New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing (NZTR) Members’ Council has appointed Mr Rodney Schick as a Director of NZTR’s Board, effective immediately. Schick’s position fills the vacancy left by current TAB NZ General Manager Commercial, Jason Fleming, who left NZTR’s Board in July 2023. Schick brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the Board of Directors, having run his own large-scale Stud Farm operation, Windsor Park Stud, for more than 20 years with his wife Gina. The Stud Master is looking forward to commencing duties for NZTR. “What really drew me to take up this position is that it’s my life's work and I’m incredibly passionate about it.” “I understand all aspects of the industry, I’ve done most things in this world other than being a horse Trainer or Jockey. I have spent a long time both racing and breeding horses and I understand the fundamentals of what makes this industry tick,” he said. When thinking about the future of the industry, Schick reflected on the journey New Zealand racing has been on over the last 12 months and beyond. “Now really is the time to be involved. With the entry of Entain, we have the opportunity to make a difference and this, coupled with some of the legislation that was brought in through Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters, enables us to be able to make some significant changes, working collaboratively with them and New Zealand’s racing Clubs.” “I’m thoroughly looking forward to beginning my tenure, working alongside the current NZTR Board and Management to make a significant impact on our industry,” Schick said. NZTR Members’ Council Chair Jeff McCall welcomed Schick’s addition to the Board of Directors. “We are thrilled to appoint Rodney to the Board and believe his business experience, coupled with strong industry knowledge makes him a great fit.” “He is a passionate member of our industry and we are looking forward to his contribution moving forward,” McCall said. As a result of NZTR Chair Cameron George’s recently announced departure, the Members’ Council will be advertising for a further NZTR Board Director in due course.

  12. Nice diversion , by not answering my simple question your clearly are just another non achieving keyboard warrior. Congrats
  13. . Care to tell us what achievements and contributions you have made to NZTR at an executive/Governance level?
  14. A great bloke who worked tirelessly to enhance TB code. Compared to Harness he was a brilliant chair and given the job in difficult circumstances.
