We're Doomed 4,868 Report post Posted March 9, 2016 Gee, if the answers to any of those questions show this whole saga up in a bad light that is appalling and more heads should role. The CEO of Sunderland has just resigned after admitting a serious misjudgement. This is just as bad. I think someone has to fall on their sword anyhow just given the current state of the industry. Just imagine if Purcell and his team were coaching a rugby league or football team. They would have been gone by lunchtime.

Don Clarke 6 Report post Posted March 9, 2016 Good questions Midget but what about the three members of the 'Appointments and Remuneration" Committee of the board of NZTR namely Messrs Stace, Goodsen and Williams ( as per the last annual report), surely they would have signed off on any payment to the said person. Perhaps question 6 should be Did the board agree with your recommendations? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a while since we had one. A Royal Commission that is, although it would probably apply to a reputation as well. integrity, Leggy and biff 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midget 4,489 Report post Posted March 10, 2016 I am wondering why Mr Purcell is in Sydney today,maybe an opportunity has come up over the ditch.. If anyone heard Mr Purcell say last week,that he wasn't aware of Jason Waddell working for Sam Beatson,WELL I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THIS INCORRECT . As it has been shown on several occasions,Mr Purcell has electricity with the truth and here is another example.. Tim Alridge also knew about this and NZTR GAVE APPROVAL,WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE JCA This will be added to the questions on Wednesday biff 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gubellini 4,004 Report post Posted March 23, 2016 We're Doomed the last Royal Commission into Racing was published in December,1970. In those days if you won a race the stake would cover 12 months of training fees. Today winning a $7,000 Race will cover 6 weeks training fees. High time we had another Royal Commission for sure!
