The CEO position at Perth Racing is a poison chalice. They just won't take up the role.
Is it time that Perth Racing was put on the open market. The members don't need to be kept in the loop.
It seems appropriate to consider some extreme measures.
Assets get sold, Cash gets spent. Hand is out. What is left. Not many assets and the cash is dwindling.
Rumour has it that this year will be a financial disaster. Can we get some clarification from a fully paid member.
The Belmont Park redevelopment is in dire straits. The Government won't be held to ransom.
Would the WARRG representative leader take the role. He seems to deal well with politicians and those with limited intellect.
I believe that Michael Grant and Neil Pinner have had various encounters in the past. Maybe this is a unification that could work.
I think this should be pushed at the next election. Just vote Grant as CEO. I say this because PR would have wasted at least $100k headhunting CEO's in the past.
Grant has a good relationship with the Committee as they all know he is far smarter than them. He is also close friends with Colin Barnett and more importantly his close friendship with Richard Burt at RWWA will help mend bridges between the two entities.
If Grant isn't thought of then would Grant Burns consider the role. He is a true action man. Burns, a native of New Zealand, knows everything about racing and he is a lovely looking man. I saw him in Queensland over the weekend. He performs well under pressure. Also he would come cheaper than the many CEO's who have been touted to fill the role that has been vacant since Venetian Princess was carrying big weights to win as a two year old.
If PR get the right CEO, they might have to look in Siberia for an appropriate candidate, then we may be a chance of having spring rolls, pork buns and dim sims on course. Everyone loves the F & B man Tony but he refuses to re-instate dim sims. I think an action man like Grant Burns would fix that up. I am not sure about Michael Grant, he doesn't look like a lover of Asian cuisine. Maybe the Track Manager could grow some bok choy in an unused area. Chicken and bok choy with garlic sauce. That would be ideal for the menu.
What happened to the track man John Waslin. Has he left PR. Most trainers comment favourably about him but the word around Queensland on the weekend was that he hasn't been seen about of late.
All will be revealed when the PR leaders return from Hong Kong later in the week. They may be on the lookout for a CEO with Asian qualities to assist with the Asian cuisine.
I am sure that the travelling contingent would be first class all the way. Only joking, they couldn't take the **** could they. There would be a revolt.
There could be a big story brewing. Why are the PR leaders in Hong Kong. No doubt Scoops Manning will get the story. I can't wait.
Perth Racing join forces with Hong Kong Jockey Club to build a grandstand at Belmont Park to facilitate Asian cuisine tours overlooking the Swan River. As long as we get dim sims and chicken feet.
Will the Fairy Godmother make an appearance at PR this year.
I love my grandfather. He is 92. He has 6 kids and 16 grandchildren and quite a few great grandchildren. He said earlier today that the racing industry is imploding because of bad management across Australia. He said the greyhound issue is caused by SKY Channel. That caught me off guard but I suppose when you need content. He also said that racetracks have failed over the past 30 years in looking after on-course patrons and that administrators concentrated too much on prize-money status. Sometimes we think the old are just that. Today I realized that wisdom comes from experience.
I don't have his wisdom yet but he provided me with common sense. It has just dawned upon me. My 92yo grandfather should be CEO of PR. The members would love him. He is going deaf, so he shouts. He still smokes like a chimney and drinks whiskey after midday. He doesn't dabble in sex anymore as he has had a few prostate issues but he still adores looking at girls.
His life is centred around his vegie garden, looking after his chooks and walking his boxer, Gimp, around Mt Pleasant. His sense of humour is a great asset. Gimp is six or seven and Pop got him from down South after he was run over by a tractor which ultimately injured his near fore.
Are we any closer to a CEO at PR?

I read on the blurb I got from PR which stated Julien Sullivan is the acting CEO. I thought "who is this guy" so I googled him...
what an impressive CV...read the thread "sun sets on Julien sullivans time at ..."
if he ain't the guy they need i'll walk to China and bring Ben back some oriental nibbles....

Now that I work night shift on most weekends, I blissfully sleep when the races start and almost nothing interests me in changing any of that.

If they cant accommodate their current membership, cant attract new members, and the big one - over the past 10 years of dwindling attendances and memberships(fully paid ones) they still cant run at a profit...................................then what, and i seriously do mean WHAT needs to be changed??? PR is structured wrongly for the industry they are in...They need restructuring, but it wont be with anymore of my hard earned.
I doubt anyone within the current system (and i say doubt as there are a few new ones) has the capabilities to get them out of the 5hite.
Based on their pathetic attempts to become profitable, i will never take out another membership until the changes they promise become real. The main one is turning a profit for the club......with depreciation taken into the figures..Ted had a believe that you ignored depreciation. Oh and now look at the state of hte facilities!!!!!
I took this picture of Grant Burns on Thursday morning.
As you can see, he is the ideal candidate for the CEO position at Perth Racing.
Young, fit and he carries weapons.
These weapons are necessary when dealing with everyone who conspires against Perth Racing.
Look at the picture, I am sure the Action Man is thinking of his next calculated move.
He would be thinking, "I will get dim sims on the menu, possibly dumplings".
That is what I want to hear from Burns.
Work with the F & B man Tony and get the Asian cuisine. Don't work against him.
Look at the picture again. How determined does Burns look. My God he could take on ISIS.
He comes with no baggage. He gets through every challenge looking forward to the next.
Look at the picture again. He knows what to do with a knife. That is important as committee's rarely work well together. Who will be the next one to get knifed in the back. Not Action Man.
Imagine if committee men walk around the course on race day. Action Man is by their side.
"They don't have my favourite sandwich". No trouble for Action Man. Knife to throat, "one more word out of you and you're dead". Committee man doesn't worry about complaints and Action Man again saves the day.
Another advantage of Grant Burns is his ability to morph his persona. If there is a perceived attack from ISIS he can adapt. The picture above shows our Action Man as a fundamentalist.
This message needs to get out to all Perth Racing members. We need the Action Man.
He can deal with any problem. The plumber will help him internally.
I am sure the F & B man Tony will be on side. The stumbling block will be the dim sims.
What about Darren McAullay. Velvet tonsils. He could assist the Action Man.
Picture of a very young Darren McAullay. He looks a race caller and he could handle an incendiary device
He is No 1 Ticket Holder with Perth Racing. I am certain Burns could equip McAullay with the necessary weaponry. McAullay has the vantage point to launch assaults on patrons, members, committee and those on the periphery.
My grandfather is keen to take up arms as well. He stated yesterday morning the he would patrol the grounds with Action Man however Gimp, his beloved boxer, would need to be by his side. I am not sure how that would go down with authorities, having a dog on-course. Action Man can make the changes.
Pop and Gimp would provide tremendous entertainment for patrons who detest 40 minute gaps between races. Gimp loves humping legs of strangers, he would love Ascot.
Pop refuses to go to Belmont. He says it is too 70's for him. He'd rather go to Karrakatta and let Gimp off the lead.
Picture of Pop. Sometimes his sense of direction is out but everyone gives him a little leeway. We are a happy family.
They tell me the Track Manager has planted some bok choy. He must read this column. He is getting good help from track staff. He was spotted by the Action Man working out with the OSH girl at Ascot the other morning.
Picture of the Track Manager in a provocative pose. I am glad it is hand only. It wouldn't look good if it was a mouth shot.
What is the penetrometer reading for Saturday? It is all starting to look like the plumber has a lot to answer for.
Happy Easter punters. Give strength to Perth Racing by praying for the Action Man.
Everyone needs a hero.
The Action Man Grant Burns. He is a lovely looking man whichever way we look at him. Dressed to the nines (with a weapon) in this picture or simply as his alter ego Action Man (always with a weapon)
