    Racing and Breeding. Fair play in all things political, racing and in the treatment of people. Great wine bought inexpensively. Good food. Travel, travel and more travel. I don't want to live to an old age, but when I go I want to believe that I have made a positive difference even if it is only small.

    Poor decision by Westbury in my opinion, and I am a shareholder in Reliable Man. Liz

    And this bloke will save the Industry.....???

    Insider replied to Ohokaman's topic in Thoroughbred Cafe

    Sadly I agree. It will be more wasted money, both to start with and ongoing that we clearly haven’t got. For the last 50 years when racing was much stronger than it is today, when we had more horses in training, when we had a foal crop twice the size it is now we didn’t need them. What we did have 10, 20, 30 and 40 years ago was money invested in track management and maintenance which we don’t have now to the level as back then. When did you last see a track being tapped back, during a raceday? It did happen regularly once upon a time. If we don’t have the money to maintain the current tracks properly, how the hell are going to maintain three AWT’s, which cost a small fortune each year AND need complete replacement within 10 or 12 years?

    There was an extremely important industry meeting about 10 days ago and he didn’t turn up for that, so I don’t know.

    We have got a Victorian running the place already! I don’t know what he has achieved though?

    How well does that horse look ?

    Ran well too, behind a super steeplechaser.

    Yes, but they are not suppling a product for people to use and then they are not able to claim back the GST charged in creating the product! THINK ABOUT IT!

    He was running out of air at the finish! The head wind wouldn’t have helped though. A Group One over 1200m in the Autumn will be a different proposition, not that I wouldn’t love to own him.
