gubellini 3,923 Report post Posted March 27, 2016 Correct Ted. Mike has obviously done a lot of research and interviewing about the subject. Perhaps he will write another book! Might get Lisa Cropp to endorse it! Only joking! Seriously Ted I won't be surprised if Lance doesn't renew his licence at the end of this season. I remember him saying at the end of his jockey career - "There are three certainties in life. Death, taxes and Lance O'Sullivan will never train horses".

Usually Dillo is quite sycophantic which is why I raised the query over his motivation on this one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leggy 4,010 Report post Posted March 28, 2016 sycophantic? Can you put that in English using words no bigger than 'banana' please Ted, so the rest of us can understand? Whyisit 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he's finding it hard to find a trainer or two who believes in the portrayed explaination of the trough issue. I have been to the races in the last eight weeks and haven't come across anybody who believes such. gubellini, napier, Los Lobos and 2 others 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdytdy 5,335 Report post Posted March 28, 2016 Could well be, but in the past he been no Barry Lichter when it comes to investigative stories. Just wondered what has spun his wheels this time that is all. If, as Leggy has put it "Mike has upped the testosterone intake and grown some" then hopefully we will see a few more investigative stories in the future on various issues.

Jefferson 207 Report post Posted March 28, 2016 It would be great if NZ journalists actually started regularly reporting with honesty and backbone. Time for accountability and transparency, maybe if the journalists run under that umbrella, more within racing and NZTR might be forced to as well.
