Learning curve maybe, or favoritism ?. How about small mans disease ? You wanna start moderating too... no favoritism..ask Leo yourselves if he gets favors here... you all need to just take a breath...FUCK is not such a bad word now days it is used everywhere...hell I saw it on a billboard in the middle of Auckland today...move on people move on...

tasman man 11 979 Report post Posted December 29, 2016 3 hours ago, gubellini said: Trump Leo no longer has an ownership interest in Consensus. Other family members do. Who cares re this piece of useless information......his 'company' bred the horse , the horse is 'owned' by his family including his late mother.......he 'manages' the horse ,he was the only person of the 'family / ownership' of the horse present at the races........at the least he was official spokesman for the horse ,so for all intents and purposes he was an 'exhilarated owner'. Plus he possibly owns the mother or part of it , plus some of the horse's close relations which are again possibly in a family or company name. So regardless of how you spin it , he is an 'owner' .......and winning a Group One is something to get excited about , so whats the fuss with the so called 'F bomb'. shaneMcAlister, Trump, Memphis2 and 3 others 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The acid test will be will Trackside TV offer Leo another interview? Ok, here's what happened. I was there because my entire family ( the owners ) were at the bach down south. I also have a special relationship with Consensus because I bred her with my good friend Mike Lum, I'm her vet, and because until recently I owned half of her, and I still own half her dam and half of her full sister. On that basis I have a sense of entitlement with her. Anyway Rodley apparently expressed a desire to interview me because he knew I was there ( hard to miss me in my new blue check seersucker jacket and Armani glasses, Louis Vuitton blue shoes, with hair by Morgan & Morgan, product by Redken ...ok enough wankerage ...) anyway Rodley was told by the on site director in the OB unit NOT to interview me because you couldn't guarantee I'd say appropriate things, but he apparently over rode the director and went ahead, and I just did what I do, I'm real, I told the truth and expressed myself in an informed, arguably passionate, but controlled manner. It's fucking good television IMO and whilst I wouldn't do it Trackside would be 100% better if I was on every week instead of the insipid Bert & Ernie shite we get now. Let's be honest, like NZ racing Trackside is in a tailspin driven by mediocrity and zero talent .... and when someone like me comes along that all changes, it morphs into compulsory viewing. Does anyone remember the Michael Jackson line I delivered live that day at Awapuni, that's still the best and funniest line ever on that channel, and I've got hundreds of lines like that. Anyway, to close, if anyone was offended by my honesty and frankness you can go fuck yourselves, you need to get a life. elbow, PPP, Leggy and 10 others 13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trakdap 390 Report post Posted December 29, 2016 HaHa. It's obvious some have not been around racing (stables etc) very long. Go follow another another sport , a more sedate one perhaps, or even join a book club, but I do not know where you will find one to suit.

No the director story is gospel, she told me to my face later shortly after the event in question. If it matters I wasn't offended, I just thought "how pathetic" and no wonder Trackside is fucked as an entertainment entity. I actually mix with heavyweight media people daily so I do have a bit of an insight into these matters, and my comments have gravity.

Guest 2Admin2 Report post Posted December 29, 2016 Just for those who have difficulty visualising the self described sartorial elegance of Midge at Ellerslie I have taken the liberty of posting a description of "seersucker" which his jacket was made of. My dearly departed mother used to own tablecloths of the material and it's mention bought back fond memories of picnics on them at Lake Kaniere. Seersucker is a thin, puckered, all-cottonfabric, commonly striped or chequered, used to make clothing for spring and summer wear. The word came into English from Persian, and originates from the words sheer and shakar, literally meaning "milk and sugar", probably from the resemblance of its smooth and rough stripes to the smooth texture of milk and the bumpy texture of sugar.[1] Seersucker is woven in such a way that some threadsbunch together, giving the fabric a wrinkled appearance in places. This feature causes the fabric to be mostly held away from the skin when worn, facilitating heat dissipation and air circulation. It also means that pressing is not necessary. Common items of clothing made from seersucker include suits, shorts, shirts,curtains, dresses, and robes. The most common colors for it are white and blue; however, it is produced in a wide variety of colors, usually alternating colored stripes and puckered white stripes slightly wider than pin stripes.

TBL 32 Report post Posted December 29, 2016 When the topic went up I thought to myself like really, really??? WTF - really? I love the diversity in the forum: LMAO Personalities of the racing culture come in all shapes and sizes but its the unpredictability of EVERYTHING that stops life from been boring. Trackside attempts to ensure one is to believe the fantasy world: the propaganda created with PC'ness - that 'life' is sweet with just a bit of sweat for the ladies. Reality-check: its blood-sweat and tears for most at any level (of occupation). The joy & recognition is rightfully earned from heart-ache after heart-ache amidst BS people and the pain & agony others have to endure on their behalf until they and 'if' they get-their-time with a winner. Frankly I find the Thread creation as intended, is narcissism at its best. globederby12 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berri 2,131 Report post Posted December 30, 2016 There are only 7 words that you shouldn't say on television or in front of your mother...they are shit, piss, fuck, c#*t, motherfucker, cocksucker and tits. The interesting word of the group is without doubt "fuck". -you could say "why don't you fuck off OPB - or you could say "OPB do you want a fuck" ( there you go Midgie, I've set it up for you) - or you could say "OPB, that was a fuck of a thing to do" - or you could say "OPB, we don't give a fuck" - or we could say " What sort of a fuck are you OPB" In fact there is a "Fuck Word Dictionary" which states there are no fewer than 27 different meanings and connotations for the word. So how dim witted and out of touch are some people as to make a complaint for the use of a simple and often used word that has a book written about it?
