tasman man 11 979 Report post Posted November 17, 2020 Clearly ,they are not leaving or taking a clean break ! They are stepping back from the daily rigours ,responsibilities ,travel etc to enjoy a spell and plan a strategy for their futures. Their property remains a going concern with staff and most likely all horses in tact. Mark will still do some driving and they will assist in selecting and buying new horses . They have achieved everything in NZ Harness and worked bloody hard for their success. My guess is they will look......covid permitting........to set up a boutique stable in the USA , or return to a boutique operation in NZ. Doesn't Mark have two sons coming thru the ranks as young trainers.....the dynasty will continue. Good on em , I say !

Cheers Iraklis Iraklis when the raid happened and it made the front page and 6 o’clock news, which continued for a while, the Serious Crime Unit (Anderson ?) chief said they had all the evidence they needed and it was an open and shut case(s). He said /implied all the matters/cases would be finished very quickly as the evidence was overwhelming and watertight! No cases proven , most (likely all re race fixing ) dismissed , weapon made the front page which was a toy and many other exaggerations so tell me why? A disgraceful chapter for the RIU & NZPolice who between them have hugely damaged a great sport for no reason but by listening to a jealous small few who seem to not recognise in sport there are trainers/coaches and players/drivers a lot better than others. The average and below will never have a UDR above 0.125 but they say the top are cheating . They are not cheating they are just far better than most of the others. So it does sound right the RIU & Police totally stuffed up. maple h and Iraklis 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iraklis 2,231 Report post Posted November 18, 2020 Yeh Yeh LongO I get that, what I meant by it don't sound right is 'they had to have more' cos right now it sounds bloody dodgy (I'm tryin to keep the faith in NZ Police ok)focus on the 'story that was told'; and if as you say Police etc and RIU stuffed up due to listenin to whomever (their snout I presume who was clearly quite believable, plausable, and had a certain amount of evidence to back up what was being alleged) then I would say we could all be seein numerous inquiries launched into Police - OCU, and RIU etc etc by all aggreived parties, I guess we all get to wait for the whole sorry saga to wrap.....and watch and learn Gawd I shudder to think the final outcome and costs involved etc just wish like hell they'd hurry up and get it concluded already....

eljay 1,718 Report post Posted November 19, 2020 No disagreement from me. I suppose thy will grind it out until everyone has forgotten what it's all about. But those directly involved will not forget and there could then be a lengthy round of compensation claims. And really this should have been put to bed ages ago - albeit with some lawyers just a tad poorer! 9incas 0 LongOwner and Iraklis 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
