saints lucky break?- the age 7/12
http://www.theage.com.au/text/articles/ ... 23362.html
Saints out of tune
SEAN Buckley, owner of champion racehorse Miss Andretti, made it to the front page of the little paper this week, for making regular cash payments to drug czar Tony Mokbel. The Melbourne businessman later told The Age that the payments were to cover the lease for a farm once owned by 11-time Melbourne Cup winner Bart Cummings.
Buckley runs the national car servicing firm Ultra Tune, having started with one outlet in 1979, and is also a successful racehorse owner and breeder.
Ideal credentials, you would think, to join a board of directors. However, when Buckley made overtures to do just that at a Victorian sporting club five years ago, his offer was politely declined. Otherwise St Kilda Football Club might have been in the headlines again this week.

And yes stinger... absolute day light robbery that place is. Would never go to a big name mechanic, they're all the same. The privately run, locally owned, REAL mechanics are the ones who you want to see.
They walk amongst us...

The Victorian police should have been right on to this....anyone who was rejected by Sir Rodney and Count Casey as unacceptable for our board back then, by those two should have been a red flag to the police .....how bad do you have to be to get rejected by them ........maybe that is why he turned to find some better quality friends......rejection can do that to you....
