    HI Leggy, we are talking about potential folk from Newhub that could be beneficial to the racing scene as front persons.      I take it you have read the thread?

    Ooh you've updated your response.    Mike McRoberts fronts TV3 news and yes I believe he could be someone that NZ racing/Entain could employ .. he speaks well, researches well, is trusted, is socially interactive/attractive and as I said.. he reminds me of Phillip Leishman, who was just such a gentleman.

    Chestnut reacted to Friend Family in The Whale's ROI 2024 ....has there ever been a better tipster!   
    Wasn't it great to see the BIG FISH nail yet another big weekend with nice-priced winners like ...
    ***Peraki Reackor $7.60
    *** Cold Chisel $3.30
    *** Double Jeopardy $3.20
    *** Sweet Diamond $2.80  .....amongst others.
    Takes his ROI this year to + $4,500.00 per $100 invested !!!   ......my god I hope Harness Racing NZ never bans whaling like some other countries have done as they would be taking all the cream off our pavlova and we simply can't have that.
    Long live the WHALE .....you just keep lining our pockets BIG BOY.....we love you.

    Chestnut, you have given your age away mentioning my friend the late Phillip Leishman.
    He was the sort of quality [hopefully]  that can be picked up from the demise of Newshub.
    Remember everyone, the great Phillip Leishman was from  NZ Broadcasting, the Government owned public service. So he was properly trained, not some scruffy kid given a chance because there is no way that they could make it elsewhere or in the main stream, which is what some of them appear to be, especially with their diction.
    I rest my case!

    The NH are, but I think they come from very similar track conditions.   I would love to see them give her a good lead in on the course.   Track conditions do vary.. a bit like playing a cricket match in other cities and then playing at the Basin with the tides, and the water table under the pitch..   you know, or you don't know    or you're good enough that it doesn't matter

    We need another Superstar alongside Imperatriz. And really hope Jimmysstar goes well next weekend. We should be behind any of these awesome horses, trainers, jockeys, owners etc. Good luck to all. And yep, like others I was in awe of Orchestral 😍

    Obviously you are suggesting the Cox Plate.
    Tonight my [retired] ex trainer who was a real horseman, suggested that she was a Cox Plate type mare.
    I didn't say it, but those NH raiders these days are bloody hard to beat.

    I can tell you Ollie Ritchie and Alex Chapman are mad keen punters and racing enthusiasts.
    I'd employ them in a heartbeat.
    Not so much their "head of sports" Andrew Gourdie.
    Those 2 young guys really are the young guns Trackside and Entain need right now. 
     
    McRoberts , don't even go there , nice enough guy but not a racing man , Sam Hayes utter professional and that laugh of hers ! She'd get by but the 2 young guys are the key !

    I think you are right Lizmeister!   As a first take on this,  I would applaud many of them going it alone, being independent journalists that sell their stories to NZ and global channels, they just need themselves and a camera man and sound and they're away, because of their professional credibility globally (Mike Roberts did a lot of reporting in the Middle East)   I think they could make a go of it because people would talk to them, they know them.     Mike might be more in line with racing as he is a sports buff (he reminds me of Philip Leishman  )  so may have the background, but I believe there is a real opportunity here for Racing and they need to snap them up, even if locking them in for independent research projects and presentation.
