    weasel57 reacted to tripple alliance in DANGER Don't say you weren't warned   
    Wrong on both charges bloke , I believe in equality for all NO EXCEPTION , 1 person 1 vote  that's the complete opposite to the ideology behind co governance , co governance is a race based policy , the co governance supporters are the racists . What we have is a move from a multi-cultural society  to a bi cultural society , one group Maori  and the rest lumped in together .  To be clear this approach is no good to many maori as well as the rest of us because the maori side is based on tribalism , those at the top of the tribe get plenty those lower down get eff all . 
    Plenty more to come on this topic

    weasel57 reacted to gubellini in Terry McDermott   
    Sad to note that former Rotorua and Matamata trainer Terry McDermott passed away last Friday. His first winner was The Answer at Rotorua on the 11/2/61 ridden by Buzz Leggett. Lardalette won three 2yo races for him in the 1973-74 season. He was best known as the trainer of the top hurdler Owhata Chief who was involved in one of the most controversial races in NZ Racing history- the 1976 Great Northern Hurdles. Thun won the race by 1.5 l from Owhata Chief. There was an inquiry and placings stood. Owhata Chiefs connections appealed to the Waikato District Committee and the placings were reversed. At a later appeal Thun was reinstated as the winner.Next year in the 1977 Great Northern Hurdles Owhata Chief ridden by Choc Hounsell won by 40l from Royal Mail and Thun. He also won the 1976 Waikato, Awapuni, Trentham and Wellington Hurdles. Later he was sold to the States and won 10 further races and $US 81,962.

    When Cubes posted something I always read it and normally ended up laughing or a smile on my face.
    I never had the opportunity to meet him and indulge in his hospitality, but we will all miss his generosity and humor on here.
    RIP Cubes...

    Shocked and very saddened by cubes passing, will never forget his generosity and hospitality of inviting me and a guest to one of his cup day functions, he was so welcoming and a perfect host, even though I'd never met him before, also meet his lovely wife, and can recall sitting at his table with them both and his friends and chatting as if we'd known them for years, somethings you just never forget,My deepest condolences to his family, we've lost a true gentleman and racing enthusiast,

    Thanks for posting Scooby,
    I had heard yesterday from a close mutual friend of Cubes.
    Terrible news, especially after the passing of Cube's wife a couple of years ago. I feel terribly for their sons.
    For those of you commenting on Cube's sense of fun and desire for a laugh - I can attest that in person he was exactly the same. A great and generous character - full of mischief. And underneath it a highly successful person.
    A very sad time for many.
     
    RIP mate

    They need to get presenters back to the racetracks asap. Having interviews with trainers, jockeys etc is vital to keeping the sport alive and viewers feeling connected to it as well as punters getting knowledge about horses from the trainers, feedback from jockeys on the track conditions, updates on how horses look in the parade ring. At the moment for NZ racing you just have someone in a studio reading out the odds and it's pretty poor coverage compared with other sports and racing coverage in other countries.

    Message to all the keyboard warriors commenting on this subject, why don't you pit your money where you fingers are, and get in touch with Tab Tracksside and ask if you can apply for a job with them if you think you can do a better job than the current hosts.   Also, if you don't like what Tab Trackside screens, then don't watch it!!

    Racing.com coverage is the best in my mind and Trackside need to do something similar with a couple of form analysts, jockey expert, host and yard expert, then I think you should see some vast improvement.

    They need to follow and replicate between racing.com and sky racing in Australia both have fantastic coverage and very in depth pre and post race on both channels.
    And there magazine style shows are done with an eye for detail on all fronts, you look at the leg up its actually a disservice to the industry.

    Totally agree about blocking horses parading in birdcage before race with dividends. We want to see what the horses look like. Why don’t they roll the dividends along the bottom of the screen, that way we can see both. Also agree about Trackside has become boring. We need some presenters with a bit of personality.

    Is it just me, or is Trackside getting worse along with the state of racing in this Country. My God it's so stale, hardly any interaction with trainers, owners, identities, no atmosphere, no excitement generated apart from Rodley getting all giggly while asking the same questions over and over, my favourite is " what does this victory mean to you " .. that guy from the TAB desk talking about horses trading at blah blah, going from 3.2 to 3.0 etc etc. Where has the human and animal factor gone ? Get some of our top identities in front of the camera, someone with personality along with knowledge .. example Samantha Spratt, how can you not love this lady ??.
    Harness exactly the same ... boring boring, "don't you miss your mail from the whale" .. my God change it up team
    Greyhound racing, I love the dogs, but what a shambles, nobody knows what commentators are assigned where, a lot of commentaries sound like they are done from the comfort of their home .. so bloidy boring, surely they have someone with more zest than Rosanowski ???
    In general everything this has gone backwards to what it was 4 years ago. Used to enjoy Peter Earley and Des all that sort of stuff. And please don't blame Covid, yes issues couple of years ago .. but where's the comeback ?? .. it's all dying sigh
