“The same people who have taken it off the cliff are still there, still employed”. Talking about Australian rugby but could be applied to an industry dearer to our own hearts... Top execs at RITA

Yes, every two, and not wrong there about the charge of the light brigade, especially the Clydees.

Cracker day Red Rum, agree about the equalisator , everyone got involved.

Agree. I always thought TAB had the vehicle with P6 to mix it up a bit, with sport and racing combined to get the general populace involved ie number of sixes in a one day, winning time of a race, how many tries in test match, winning margin by a horse etc etc. Imagine the interest resting on the last event if someone was live going into the last. Just a thought.

Trump, Follow this closely and the tournament director, Karl Budge, does an outstanding job attracting the field he does, that’s reflected in the quality that was there this year... he’s probably already working on next year. Apparently players like coming here, it’s NZ for God’s sake :), it’s a great lead in to the Aussie Open, it ain’t for the $$$. Cheers

Geez, you get a certainty and there is always someone to rain on the parade. Lets hope he does the business that man, it’s been a hospital pass in the last few years.

I’d put my money on D Mac running the show in the interim.

It just makes you wonder where racing’s leadership is, we, racing , always seem to be being dictated to, through a lack of strong leadership. Oh for a dictator who wants to lead from the front. It’s still a marvellous industry with great people and a love of the animal.

I thought that was an exceptional performance by Amazing Dream, out wide like that and the speed she showed, she looks something really special that one.

ps how good was that Trackside coverage today, well done to everyone concerned ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️

Started this thread, really enjoyed the day, nice to see Blair winning the Cup ✔️. Races were very competitive and nothing ran away and hid.

Is it me, or the Cup Day fields just seem a little ordinary this year? I know there is winner in every race, and to have a runner on Cup Day is such a thrill... maybe just a sign of the times and the smaller foal crops coming through. Good Luck to everyone with one in.

PT Wolfendon won the Auckland Cup on Enterprise with a jem of a drive(surprise) in 1984✔️
