The outgoing Chairman of Racing Victoria and his guileless CEO blame all of racing in the State’s problems on a decline in wagering turnover across the industry.
It’s bullshit, and a callow cop out.
Sure, Victorian racing’s wagering revenue decreased by almost $3o million.
But NSW’s went up by around $21 million.
That’s a swing of circa $51 million, Peter V’Landys way.
A lot of people are salivating at the thought of incoming RV Chairman elect Gillon McLachlan going head t0 head against PVL, and are thinking that the taller man might win.
They are all Victorians of course.
Some people imagined that to be the case when Larry Holmes and Frank Bruno took on Mike Tyson too.
Fools they are the lot of them.
A great street fighter from the mean streets of the trots like V’Landys will cut down a private school toff like McLachlan any and every day of the week, and turn him into mashed potato.
He’s done ’em all like a dinner so far, and they’ve all made excuses.
I wonder if Gillon will wave his silver spoon at the table and do so too?
A white flag would be better.
He’s gunna need one.
Don’t you worry about that.
