Four Hooves 4 Report post Posted January 18, 2019 No media coverage. Too bad if you had a horse trialing that you wanted to sell. What about the big punters who analyze form from these trials. Not good enough- was it a Club issue or is someone else to blame. Bout time all these little issues get sorted out.Trouble with whole industry is that no-one works together.Too many amateurs getting paid like professionals. hedley 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure did, can't see that 40 to 50 mill plus on going running cost is a good spend. I support most NZTR personal, Bernard Saundry for example and I believe he has a good team at headquarters but NZRB is a runaway freight train Leggy 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up until now I cannot see one single positive thing that he has done that has made even the slightest difference since he has been here. Please enlighten me Michael if you disagree. P.S. The above posting in no way condones or supports the actions of the NZRB either. Pam Robson and Leggy 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but NZTR used to publish them (for as long as I can remember) for the galloping code. That way we could see how we were tracking Year on Year.
