Probably more the former than the latter imo Stodge. -
Without wishing to put my gonads in a pond full of piranhas, all I can tell you from up here is the synthetic (NOT all weather) surfaces have been an absolute godsend to UK, Irish and French racing and betting. They provide an income stream for, let's be honest, the middle and lower ranking owners, trainers and jockeys during the winter months when we can't race on grass and, as other have mentioned, some very good horses have started their career on them. Have there been problems? Undoubtedly - in the early days (1990s), surfaces like Equitrack and Fibresand had their issues but nowadays, the main complaint is more about the prize money but that's another matter. That begs the question - what are the UK, Ireland and France doing right or what is NZ doing wrong? There was cultural resistance up here in the early days but when it became clear the synthetic surfaces provided a safe place for horses to run in midwinter when grass racing was impossible, that faded. A synthetic surface should be useable 120-150 days a year if properly maintained and laid - is that the problem? -

Agree entirely Leigh I cannot fathom why an investment with no return is being applied, no sense in doing so that I can see. Very odd -

Seems like the quad bike accident has attachments deep within the thoroughbred family...as we are all a big family at times like these...thoughts and prayers go out to all involved...terribly sad accident. -
UK started with a 10% Tariff and that is what they have now. It is a "Claytons Deal". -
Just back and re read your posts over the last couple of years and admit to yourself that you are a racist. I am sure that you will claim that some of your best friends are Maoris or else you had Maori neighbours so you cannot be a racist

Agreed Hokey I presume this is what you are on about , isn't it amazing how sanctions are still an option I thought they had already been applied to the maximum President Volodymyr Zelensky and the leaders of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Poland agreed on May 10 to impose additional sanctions against Russia if the Kremlin does not accept their proposal for an unconditional 30-day ceasefire. The European proposal for the 30-day ceasefire is backed by the United States, which first called for a complete month-long truce between Russia and Ukraine in March. Kyiv at the time agreed to the plan, but Russia refused to accept an unconditional ceasefire and insisted Ukraine first give up all foreign military aid. "(The nations) agreed that if Russia refuses a full and unconditional ceasefire, stronger sanctions should be applied to its banking and energy sectors, targeting fossil fuels, oil, and the shadow fleet," the five leaders said in a joint statement. -

In a weird unconventional manner Trump has been a Godsend to our country. By his idiotic tariff laws he has; (a) Created huge markets for our beef exports. The Chinks don't want Yank meat; so they will take Kiwi beef. And there are hundreds of millions of Chinks, (b) When there is a worldwide shortage of dairy products the world calls upon the USA to fill up the shortfall. But Trumps' idiotic tariff laws have made the USA an unfortunate supplier. Enter N.Z.. Laughing its tits off. But our news media are so alarmed by the Orange Man that they will not report this remarkable turn-around. -

Would it be fair to say Blacks use the race card more than Whites and do Greens use the Mental health card more than normal people when they are caught? -
Hoki and co must be beside themselves and praying to whoever that Trumps tariff plan does not eventuate But already UK has folded and China are not far behind - the cue is a long line of nations wanting to strike new deals The Trumpster is on track to being the greatest President EVER and thats gonna burn for ages CHOO CHOO -

But I do not see why increase stakes on a race that if north island stables dont support it then it is dead...quite frankly. Jumps is dead in the SI...and in essence so is the National...better to concentrate on where the horses it...its a bit like the hill and the Great Northern,nothing stays the same...times are changing. -

It's simple, a racist hates other races. In Triple's case he hates Maoris . I have come across many racists and I stand up to them, but I have only ever met one person who admitted that he was a racist and I thanked him for being honest. Shit I saw a documentary years ago with the Leader of the KKK stating that he wasn't a racist.

Interesting isn't it poor old Bloke supports raciest policy's but fails to recognize it . The last labour government introduced a heap of race based policy's but some how they aren't raciest . I wonder what he would think if some of these policy's were reversed eg , people with European/British ancestry had preference to hospital care , Asians wards at councils , etc etc , the truth is the only thing that's fair and just is equal rights for all .
