Two feature races of interest in the Senate sponsored Auditors Field Day.

Race 5 - the Never-tell Cup – Maiden handicap.

Race 6 - the Rollover Stakes – Hurdles, fences and gates.

That’s right folks: the Senate sponsored ASA race day is going to happen.  Thanks to P1, the news is out that the IOS will be running a SP tote and there are some early entrants.  However; IOS will not be posting the entries; not until after the next Senate committee session.  Suffice to say that ante post wagers on non starters will be refunded; such is the uncertainty. For a fact we know the race is on, we know there is, potentially a big field, but; and a big, serious but; we cannot be certain, as yet of the field.  The final tally from the ASA bus stop melee is not available.

MTF after the next Senate stewards inquiry. – Hot tips are plentiful, caveat emptor…..





Toot toot..

Judging from some of the comments from that man Higgin's latest article the tide of public sentiment maybe swinging against Sir A, Harfwit & the ASA exec crew:

If there is a perception of a conflict of interest, then you have a conflict of interest.

Why can't they focus on their responsibilities of providing the maximum radar coverage for safe flight down to late finals level where the existing technology allows. Their pig headed response to make changes to allow this to happen is far more important than their internal money squabbles,  but probably the squabbles reflect the internal dissent that prevents Houston from asserting his authority as he was used to doing in the RAAF- or maybe the challenges of a QANGO are not translatable to a ex RAAF commander. Either way,  safety must be the B all and end all of Airservices existence and they seem to be in denial about that.

So a little bit of fraud is ok?

Narrow field of bidders for this work raises the spectre of excessive financial gain !! Once again the colony is treated with apparent disrespect. .

But the one that could get my vote for October's QOTM, was this from Mick :

Seems like Angus was desperately trying to recreate his own little RAAF fiefdom beyond Russell and it's turned sour on him.    You can't really blame Caesar for wanting to keep the trappings of Rome though, can you? 

Somewhat poetic that it's all been undone by a bunch of Senators (again)!
