Watch his ride at Ashburton last Friday week in the first race and tell me if that is the type of rider we want on our tracks. Should have got 3 months not the pathetic 2 weeks. Why the charge was down graded by JCA will go down as a total mystery !!!!!!

Don't make it sound like the TAB (your employers) are doing us a great favour by having a guaranteed $250,000 pick 6 today. The pool is starting at $142,000 and will sail past 250k without any of their money.

Wait for new story this week from D McCarthy

Mates the best way to fund racing mates is to charge our mate on Trackside Radio Breakfast Slot $1 mates every time the host our mate says mate on his show. Mates this used to be a great show with Ian Smith and co but mates this is now cr*p mates. Mates how did he get this job does he have mates in high places mate.

Can someone explain to me how did Mr Purcell lay a complaint re comments made about Mr Neal when he is not a paid employee of NZTR. Does this mean that any person can lay a complaint with the RIU.

If the charges against K Morton are dismissed or found Not Guilty should the Head of NZTR resign ? Thoughts ....

trakdap No one would be complaining if they had not irrigated as much as they had. Christchurch had 2.6mils of rain from Nov 6 - 15 The track was never a Good 3. The jockeys could not get of the rail quick enough. Sad to watch on what could have been a great days racing.

Trakdap It's November, It's Summer and we had 3 mils of rain. Do they bring helicopters in in the winter to dry out tracks ?

Tim Mills Here is your chance to get back some credibility. Come on this program tonight and apologise to all concerned. I've been told that some Northern Trainers have said that they will not come back to Riccarton until Management changes, South Island Racing is the loser if this happens. You screwed up. Be a MAN and admit it.

Canterbury Jockey Club are a JOKE You take a horse to ChCh for Cup Day and they serve up a Grand National type track But we must remember that this Clubs irrigates in the WINTER so you nothing surprises you. You have the raging favourite in a Group One and Sam Spratt spends the first 200 metres trying to get her horse of the fence. On a normal track this time of the year when you draw Barrier 1 you can smoke a pipe in the trail !!!! In the 1200m race they couldn't get out to the middle fast enough Remember this Club used/wasted Industry money this time last year "trying" to fix their problems by starting at the winning post and going backwards with the work required... another ****up. I spoke to someone who attended. 1 hour to get in, a ticketing system that is crap, no racebooks, long lines for tote, toilets and drinks. Can't see the horses coming up the straight due to tents and far too many drunken young people. Time for a revamp. NZTR MUST STEP IN But the CJC Board will be happy they had 10 winners, 10 happy owners. My suggestion... Turn off your irrigation system and contract the event out to the people at Addington Raceway you don't deserve this special day in NZ Racing

I must apologise to NZTR as having a re look at the Statement this morning I have realised that they put a credit on the Income side for the same amount to offset the debit side. Lesson learnt.......Don't read the mail after a night out

Why are you picking on CJC Next Saturdays NZ Cup has the potential to be the greatest stake money ever offered for a Benchmark 85 Race $225,000 With only 7 of the 33 norms having Rating points above 85 and 1/2 of them 75 or less. Where have our stayers gone.

Greg Purcell was on air with Peter Earley after the Ashburton debacle and said that owners would receive $200 compensation each day. Helped off set some of the cost that I incurred from their "incompetence" Well today I received my Owner Statement for the last few weeks. YES I received $400.00 for the 2 days of incompetence but was charged 2 x Rider Compensation Fee of $74.28 YES they charged me $148.56. Can anyone explain why I should be paying this fee and not NZTR Owners ripped off again.

Cubes Can't be anything worth while backing at Riccarton today as your CEO on his spot on Newstalk Radio Sports Show this morning put $20 on Chambord at Hawkes Bay Lets hope that this bet and spot on radio was not paid for by CJC money. What he said by doing this was "don't bet at Riccarton today" Thanks I'll spend my money elsewhere !!!

You left out the most important part Michael Guerin (Harness Racing New Zealand) He is not going to chop off the hand that feeds him !!!!!
