  1. How am I "playing the man"? If we have so much discontent on here about the leaders of our industry how can anyone laud the job that CG has done for NZ Racing??! Or has he never made a poor decision? If we follow JJ's theory about having to be qualified or linked to some leadership role before criticising their performance then why have free speech? With that criteria no one can come on here and bag a jockey unless they have ridden X amount of winners, no one can question a trainer unless theyve trained X amount of winners, no one can bag an All Black unless theyve worn the black jersey in the past, etc, etc. I dont know JJ from a bar of soap and have simply teased his philosophy that only those above or equal to CM in the administrative world should be allowed to judge him. That to me seems ridiculous as mentioned above. I dont know his credentials but maybe when he pops on here and has a whinge about something he should check if he is "qualified" to do so. Perhaps he is a cross between Lance O'Sullivan and Richie McCaw so will always be right when debating racing and rugby.
  2. No nomates - you and I are wrong and JJ is supremely correct. A list of jobs wins according to him. Game changing fact that one. And remember hes the equal of V'Landrys....except V'Landrys runs an entire professional competition (which Cam is in "charge" of one spoke of that wheel) as well as NSW racing which is a smidgen bigger than NZ's industry. We must bow to JJ.
  3. Why am I being personal when I question his commitment and success with his role in the industry?? Where is there proof of that? Unless he is working 20 hour days, there is no way in the world he can do justice to either the Warriors or NZ Racing. Go through the threads here that lambast our decision makers. Or is he excluded from this? Perhaps you have some personal favoritism towards Cameron. A stupid assumption which highlights the ridiculous statement you made.
  4. Would be interesting to compare the Auckland Cup carnival numbers to that of the NZ Cup week run by the CRC.
  5. That wasnt a diversion, its the reason why he has been poor for NZ racing. How's the much heralded Integrity Unit going?? Bloody great if you're north of Hamilton!! Look out if you're a small time operator and have stood on the cracks in the pavement. How you thought it was a diversion sums up your inferencing ability.
  6. A predictable response but very disappointing if youre trying to compare these two blokes. One is a doer, the other a gunna. Like comparing apples and rotten tomatoes.
  7. Care to tell me how someone can be the head of two prominent organisations of NZ sport and do justice to them both?? This should be good.....
  8. My sentiments: Piss off and dont come back (again!)
  9. Have they been to Trentham? What other courses have they been to in NZ? Inform me as I dont know the answer(s) to the 2nd question.
  10. Maybe Weigh In should do a live broadcast from Ellerslie today to get a report from the jockeys as the trials are taking place. That would boost their ratings and inform us pronto on what is going on.
  11. LOL! bit touchy is the Insider. Why aren't they at Trentham for the big days is all I asked. Yip you know so much. Sorry.
  12. $53 million. Imagine Foxton with $2.65M injected into its coffers. No track is worth fifty three frigging million dollars.
  13. Im asking a question. You have the answer? Sound like you know more than me (as usual). Do tell.
  14. Why dont Trentham allow BGP onto their course with their "events". Is it because of the demand for a percentage of the tote takings for the day??
  15. And about 90 other entries over 14 heats.
