    • ACT in the clear .  You may have seen news reporting this evening of a story about a former President of ACT New Zealand.  I wanted to ensure that you are made aware of the Party's response. The following statement has been issued to the media from a Party spokesperson: The events occurred 20 years before his involvement with the ACT Party begun and there was no way of knowing about his offending at the time. This is not a time for politics, it is a day of justice for survivors. The Party took the original allegation extremely seriously when first made aware of it on social media in November 2022. We took immediate steps to check the authenticity of the claim and questioned him about it. He categorically denied the allegation. We were deeply shocked to learn that the complaint was real and a police investigation was underway. We sought guidance and advice from Mr Paul Wicks KC as to the appropriate steps we should take in this situation and followed that advice to the letter. When we learned that Mr Jago had been arrested and charged we asked at once for his resignation from the Board and the Party, and accepted it. He has had no involvement with the Party since this date. Reviewing the Party’s handling of this matter, Mr Wicks KC advised that the steps taken by the Board had been proper in the circumstances, and that the Board had properly discharged any obligations to the complainant and acted in accordance with the interests of justice. In the time that Mr Jago was a member and President of the party there were no indications of any wrongdoing. We respect the outcome of the Court process and commend the courage of those who have come forward. We hope this verdict brings them some closure. Yours sincerely,  John Windsor President | ACT New Zealand
    • Real genius our Donnie. Now explain to your halfwit supporters how that helps them….   Igniting a potential trade war The tariffs could lead to potentially much higher costs, disrupted supply chains and the loss of jobs. In a call with reporters Saturday, a Trump administration official said any retaliation from Mexico, China or Canada would likely result in even higher tariffs for that country. Even Trump acknowledged the potential for adverse consequences on American consumers. “There could be some temporary, short-term disruption, and people will understand that,” Trump said Friday when pressed by reporters on the cost of tariffs being passed on to importers and, by extension, consumers. “But the tariffs are going to make us very rich and very strong — and we’re going to treat other countries very fairly.” Hours after Trump’s action, Trudeau announced retaliatory 25% tariffs on US goods, that will be “far-reaching and include everyday items,” making good on his promise that Canada would retaliate forcefully and swiftly if the United States imposed levies. The country’s trade representatives met with Trump administration officials as recently as Friday in an attempt to stave off the tariffs. “Tonight, I am announcing Canada will be responding to the US trade action with 25% trade tariffs against $155 billion worth of American goods,” the Canadian leader said in a news conference Saturday night. “This will include immediate tariffs on $30 billion worth of goods as of Tuesday, followed by further tariffs on $125 billion of American products in 21 days’ time, to allow Canadian companies and supply chains to seek to find alternatives.”   https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/01/economy/trump-tariffs-mexico-canada-china-increased-costs
    • Coming from someone who lied to Fox every day. DECEPTION DON is his second name….. More revenge and retribution…….that’s all he’s good at…….💩
    • Trump could be on verge of legal victory against CBS as settlement speculation heats up 'Trump is committed to holding those who traffic in deception and fake news accountable,' the president's attorney says Be careful Hokey.
    • Trudeau: Canada will retaliate with 25% tariffs on $155B of U.S. good Oh, dear Hokey you just forgot to mention this, obviously Trudeau can't count either.  Is propaganda missing from your vocabulary? I know something that isn't missing TDS.
    • I had mentioned this very thing a few months ago and while I wouldn't neccessarily refer to it as 'pulling the strings', Paul's international experience and knowledge seems to be evident at least in an advisory capacity. Ultimately it's good to see a stable having their best season and with some serious prospects 'going forward' (gee, I hate that phrase.)
    • Very smart bloke that Michael Behrens. Good to see them successfully engaging with NZ racing.
    • Look up Equab's comments on housing in 2017 Budget, he thinks we should have had another 480 000 houses in New Zealand if we kept building like we were prior to 1980's and post war. (Radio NZ article May 26, 2017) He is a huge part of New Zealand's problem.   We don't think he has a clue about population spread or control and clearly lacks intelligence about our country's Geography and needs including Agriculture lands and important to the people, Quality of Life in New Zealand.   We recall an interview with him on ZB with Kerre Woodham around 5 years ago  and him saying there's lots of land to build houses at coastal farmland Awhiti...hmmmm.   We were taught when people said such things a phrase about going back to where we came from, as in our mother's womb, and come back out with a brain. There's a similar one we dare not write... It's unknown how he became a Government consultant in NZ or what role at University his father has including in Christchurch and via Samoa.   His works need to be ripped to shreds in the Pulp Paper Shredder just like those of the 111 WEF Tech Digital attendees in 2014 as it has created a serious lop sided screwed up world. There was a mere 3 people world wide Representing the Pulp and Paper sector at WEF that year.   It's unknown how many, if any, were representing the Racing Sector    There will be No Animals or Nature left because of these people.   They have Derailed The Program...  
    • A less-than-ideal break from the gate forced jockey Edgard Zayas to change his plan of attack with Whitham Thoroughbreds' homebred Burnham Square, who nevertheless persevered to capture the $250,000 Holy Bull Stakes (G3) Feb. 1 at Gulfstream Park.View the full article

    • A month into 2025, trainer Dan Blacker is back winning graded stakes in California, this time with My Way Racing's El Potente, who blitzed a mile on firm turf in 1:32.39 in taking the $102,000 Thunder Road Stakes (G3T) Feb. 1 at Santa Anita Park. View the full article
    • Ellerslie is always a Soft 5 now. A month of drought? Soft 5. 8 inches of rain in five minutes? Soft 5. It wasn't initially because the idiots chose to use their own mix of grasses and ended up with a mat of knitted roots growing sideways instead of downwards, but they're on top of that now. That's the idea behind Strathayr. It doesn't bake hard and it doesn't turn to mud. It's a safe, consistent track you can run on once a week for nine months a year. It'll never suit Grey Way, but NZTR don't want tracks that'd suit Grey Way anymore.
