WE NEED RIVALRIES, TRIBALISATION AND PLAYERS TO SPEAK THEIR MINDS
Rugby League’s showpiece and biggest success in the sport’s history is the State of Origin that is built on a battleground mentality of ‘mate against mate’ and ‘state versus state’.
AFL, NRL, football (soccer) and The Ashes are all built on the passion for one’s team or nation against the other who supporters have some hatred for.
It drives competition and instils passion into the sport.
Racing needs more Joe Pride’s, a man who speaks his mind and isn’t afraid to stir the pot all in the name of sparking interest in the sport.

Sydney’s leading jockey Tommy Berry wasn’t going to let his hectic schedule stop him from riding French Bonnet and Deepfield Magic at Gosford on Wednesday.
Berry could easily have chosen to miss the low-key provincial meeting, particularly after riding into the evening at Warwick Farm on Australia Day then backing up quickly to ride at an important Rosehill barrier trials session in the morning.
Then there is the Canterbury Friday night meeting ahead of Saturday’s Expressway Stakes fixture at Rosehill Gardens, which heralds the unofficial start of the Sydney autumn carnival.

KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 17): Eco World Development Group Bhd (EcoWorld) and its 27%-owned associate Eco World International Bhd (EWI) have set a combined sales target of RM5 billion for the financial year ending Oct 31, 2021 (FY21). Based on the strategic plans we have put in place in every geographic location to restrategise and refocus on key segments of the market that have proven depth and resilience, I am confident that the target, despite being 30% higher than the sales achieved in FY20, is attainable, said EcoWorld chairman Tan Sri Liew Kee Sin.
“In addition, the proactive steps taken in FY20 to reduce and reset the cost structure of both our Malaysian and international operations, coupled with our team’s willingness to continually reinvent and relearn the way we do business, will help counteract the impact of a soft property market and preserve our cash flow and profit.
