Good to hear from you Stu. Starting at the end I shook my head when I saw the camels.

I know TeeCee does not like the drugs being brought up all the time but many are asking WHAT and HOW to the following statement of yours

The "horsemen" who can magically "improve" horses within weeks must be feeding and working there horses very differently to everyone else.

Time is crucial if we are to prosper rather than decline, it seems to me that there are people with a wealth of experience (and that is not me) who are being ignored because they are asking the hard questions.

I like to think that Stawell is doing OK because they are not for profit club who are covering expenses thanks to the Pokies. I don't know for sure but I am about to become a member now that I have settled here.

The reliance on Pokies poses less ethical questions for me when the money is going back into the community and not some millionaires pocket

You were more on topic, I had better stop before I derail this thread
