GLOBE DAMARELL PARK

We have some advocates on SAFOOTY that what the trotting industry needs are changes.
Erstwhile leading Trotting Bookmaker Peter Damerell is standing for election to the board at the trots.

Bookmaker PD has catergorically denied he is in collusion with others standing for election to the board of the SA Harness Racing Club
" I am an independent nomination + not part of any ticket or syndicate." PD said.
" I feel I have the experience and personal skills, along with a passion for the sport, that may help the club and industry."
A senior consultant with Mcarthur Management Services, PD sent a letter to to SAHRC members last week detailing his business background.
He also suggested it maybe wise for members to elect a woman.
" The club would be better recieved of it demonstrated a degree of gender balance and notjust being seen as a boys club." PD wrote.
Sharon Pettit and Lyn Tester are the woman nominating for the SAHRC board

My Mail has been spruiking for changes any changes that may stimulate harness racing
I reckon PD is worth a gamble[pardon the PUNter]
He has shown the galaxy that he is a survivor in the Bookmaking game
He has outstayed every bookie thats ever gone to the trots
He has used a methodology to survive at the game
Off course he is known as a very shrewd, complex and intelliGENT person

Personally I have found PD to be a nice bloke and a very good operator
Im sure putting PD on the board would or could be the impetus to success.

WHO CARES !!!!

For f**ks sake Globe Derby is just a club run by a bunch of part time volunteers, THEY DONT RUN HARNESS RACING IN SA !!!! how does this stuff make the press ????

Harness Racing S.A runs harness racing and is responsible for growing our industry, they are the ones costing enormous amounts of money, programming, stake money distribution, sponsorship, advertising etc etc they do it all. They are the ones in the little building just a stone throw from the float park. It drives me nuts we are going down the toilet and all anyone can talk about is Globe Bloody Derby. For the last time they DO NOT run Harness racing in this state.

The spotlight should be on HRSA, we hear nothing from them - not a rats ass about what they are doing to dig us out of this hole, they should be getting grilled about our state of affairs but all we bloody hear about is GDP. When has anyone heard about some actual plans or initiatives from the top brass at HRSA ????
