“Racing NSW operations chief Graeme Hinton made the approach to the ATC about getting Klein some face time with its managers earlier this year. It's believed that the NRL referee had done similar supervisory experience with officials from Racing NSW.” The swamp is deep!
The NRL’s top referee Ashley Klein who reportedly lost more than $400,000 gambling on racing was recently given work experience within the racing industry. Tomorrow’s column:

Sky Channel really falling through the flaw with their pre 12pm coverage on Saturdays - FFS - Why bother!

Sounds like the tail is attempting to wag the dog yet again with this one. You’d have to think this a way of them trying to preemptively circumnavigate whatever comes out of the Hazzard review (which now looks like bugger all now that distributions are excluded from scope)

Loved the Top 5 @MarkHoward03 & glad to see 2 of my top 3 were in the list. My only feedback would be to tone down the “Chief” references - At one stage it was like every 6th word spoken. The “Howie” to “Chief” ratio was off the charts. Love the enthusiasm though. Great stuff

Love how Sky Channel can’t even be bothered to do any pre race coverage for the first 2 races at Randwick each Saturday - and they wonder why turnover is down! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤯

NO white person alive today owned slaves. Teach your kids that. NO black person alive today was born a slave. Teach your kids that. Not all white people owned slaves back then. Teach your kids that. Millions of white people fought and died to end slavery. Teach your kids that. People should not inherit guilt from their ancestors. Teach your kids that. People should not inherit victimhood from their ancestors. Teach your kids that. You are responsible for your own actions, not the actions of people who lived 200 years ago. Teach your kids that. America is not perfect, but it is not uniquely evil. Teach your kids that. The West is responsible for some of humanity's greatest advances in freedom, science, medicine, and prosperity. Teach your kids that. Loving your country is not racism. Teach your kids that. Wanting secure borders is not racism. Teach your kids that. Wanting safe communities is not racism. Teach your kids that. Wanting merit over quotas is not racism. Teach your kids that. Questioning political narratives is not racism. Teach your kids that. People should be judged by their character, not their skin color. Teach your kids that. History should be taught honestly, not used as a weapon. Teach your kids that. A nation that teaches its children to hate their heritage will not survive. Teach your kids that. Your country is your home. Protecting it is not something to be ashamed of. Teach your kids that. You do not owe an apology for being born. Teach your kids that. Never let fear of being called names stop you from speaking the truth as you see it. Teach your kids that.

Love this idea!
This guy invented a water bottle with a built-in peel-off strap so you can wear it hands-free… and honestly? It’s kind of brilliant! He turns a regular bottle into “wearable water” that stretches to fit anyone, and while he jokes about it almost getting him in trouble, the idea itself is actually really practical. No more juggling your water while walking the dog, working, or being at a concert — just strap it on and go. Wear as many as you want, zero excuses, and you stay hydrated all day. Would you actually wear your water bottle like this, or are you still team “just carry it”?

Incredibly sad to hear this - Once it’s closed all of it’s range will disappear and become just another mass produced beer made by the corporates. Feel incredibly sorry for the workers and the local economy who will now struggle even more.

Data - 4yo runners [34 months of racing] here: progenyconsulting.net/rivers… ❌ High end Yearling prices - huge losses after 3 years of racing….. Vinnie, E & E, Fastnet Rock, Ext Choice & Zoustar all have cumulative mass losses [earn/cost], snapshots below: Displaying all stats….. see which “entire foal crop” has not earned more $’s on track, then the stallions yearling sales results [min 20 lots] - sales of 23’ 4 sets of data for each year - snapshot below. Unlike stallion tables, this data only follows that crop year throughout entire racing career.

I’ll tell you what we want out of leaders - People who lead with integrity, respect and conscience rather than bowing to a master who is only ever in it for the elites. Then this flog turns off comments because he doesn’t like feedback - Sound familiar? Just another puppet!

Data for 3yo runners [22 months of racing] here: progenyconsulting.net/rivers… 4 sets of data for each year - snapshot below. Unlike stallion tables, this data only follows that crop year throughout entire racing career. Bid confidentially and support small vendors at MM Yearling sales today, do not be stooged that a high price relates to future race track ability. The 21 crop data [current 4yo - 34 months of racing] will be available mid week - some of this data will blow your mind…. after almost three full years of racing.

I really don’t know how anybody can afford to go out for a night in the city anymore - prices are just ridiculous and I’d love to know who’s happy to pay that! This is in The Rocks

I’m a Doggies fan but I don’t think that made the try line - Very lucky to claim that one.

Couldn’t agree more with this article - The costs are just getting out of control and unless you strike serious city gold it’s becoming impossible for small breeders to make ends meet. I just hope that people start listening to @TrevDonaldson findings to keep some hope alive.
