post82,
Well it didn't take long for the repercussions to unfold with the news yesterday that HK may ban NSW punters from wagering upon their product. The cause was not aided by a somewhat arrogant response from NSW racing official(s) who said: "so what!" and inflammatory comments such as: "it is like cutting off their nose to spite their face."
Also some "prigs" in the media asked: "do HK think they run racing?"
Well mate, take a look at how NSW racing is going presently with small fields being the aaaa! Maybe someone should take a long, hard look at how NSW racing is being administered.
Also, I ask if there is a turnover deduction shortfall from the lack of HK racing will the same official(s) make up the difference from their "fat" salaries?
Think about what you have done!
Also, today on 2KY the CEO HK Racing, Mr Bill Nader was interviewed and expressed his disappointment that relations between the two bodies has deteriorated. Importantly, he outlined the facts that C. Munce pleaded guilty to 35 counts/offences and chose not to lodge an appeal although this mechanism was in place-so he WAS given "natural justice!"
I have just heard that NSWTAB will not be betting on HK races this week(although this has been the case for some time now).
I hope the participants in this saga realize the repercussions of their actions as the betting public may be drawn into this maelstom, which IMO will not be going away for some time.

Cheers.
