BRETT MASELLE'S COMMENT ON SPORTINGPOST ARTICLE

Does Brett have a point?,

Is he correct?

Should people running the game be accountable to the racing public and racing industry?

Extract from Bretts comment on Sportingpost article ....What does one do when the NHA can’t even get something so simple right? I suppose they will do one of the following:-
1. Try and spin an argument that they have acted correctly.
2. Sweep it under the carpet;
3. Not respond;
4. Try and discredit me.
5. Remove Larry Wainstein or have him withdraw without acknowledging the reasons
....


READ ARTICLE

Read about comments made by the Sportingpost and others regarding the International Jockeys Challenge.

Some extracts from the article:

....Joey Ramsden described Turkish jockey Yasin Pilavcilar as “absolutely appalling” and the Sporting Post commented that “when the standards drop to the level of some of the ‘stars’ that rode at Turffontein and Kenilworth then it is time to call it a day.”...

....He pledged that, despite the criticism and the Sporting Post’s suggestion to call it a day, the series will continue...

....“I have a passion for this international series and, if people are going to criticize me, then so be it. I’ve just got to keep my chin up and go for it.”...

Another interesting Sportingpost article is titled Colour Me Purple.

Extracts from this article.....At the same time, there had been an objection from Adv Brett Maselle regarding the legitimacy of allowing jockeys to ride in silks representing their countries, rather than in owners’ colours. When he petitioned the NHA that it was breaking its own rules, the rules were simply amended to accommodate the wearing of ‘international’ silks (see rule 8.3.5). This was processed on 11 November 2011, the day of the first international fixture...

AND..... As the Protea emblem is a national asset and abuse is a punishable offence, the NHA acted correctly in preventing Protea colours being awarded. Unfortunately Mr Wainstein took a rather different view, appearing on Tellytrack to blame Adv Maselle and myself for the stuff up, rather than accepting that it was an organisational shortcoming on his behalf that had let down the jockeys, sponsors and the race going public.....

.....Was racing brought into disrepute? The NHA (of which Mr Wainstein is a director) seems to think not. I doubt it has done much to enhance our credibility however. Given the punishments meted out to folks for daring to question authority, how come our authorities are allowed so easily off the hook when they repeatedly get things wrong?...
