everything you say would carry so much more weight if it actually came from a Phumelela "person of note" who was prepared to discuss/debate etc. The fact is, in my experience, they rarely say anything and on the few occasions I can remember that they have commented on anything, it has reeked of bullsh1t and shirking of blame. That is simply my impression of them.

Defend them all you want to but, why the fark are you "having" to do it? Until they grow a pair and demonstrate that they genuinely want to improve things for all then they will continue to be disliked and not trusted. Dreadful for SA racing as a whole. Just an "international" point of view. If they want to save SA racing for all rather than a few, they need to improve big time. Depending on how you think, that is either in decision making etc and/or just simply image.

So, pretty please mate, give them a ring tomorrow and tell them you are sick of fighting their battles for them, it could potentially do the industry a lot of good if they fought their own battles honestly and openly. Wishful thinking I know...

I used to have the same opinion as yours Englander and often wondered why Titch was such a Phumelela apologist. Then I was told that he earns some kind of commission through them via a tote product. I have no idea if this is true or not, but if it is, it explains the brownnosing perfectly.

OTA that is a truly laughable statement but typical of your way of thinking...anyone who doesn't bleet and run the industry into the dirt at every opportunity is "brown nosing" the authorities but hell why let the truth get in the way of a good old fashioned gripe...sad OTA very sad..
As for my commission ..Phumelela does not pay me my com..that comes directly from Gav Lerena and has always been the case from day one with which ever jockey I represent..
