@shaggy84329.bsky.socialI'm pretty sure Peter V'landys saw the writing on the wall at Racing NSW and jumped ship, while also realising that being executive chairman gives him more of the media spotlight

@shaggy84329.bsky.socialNo, you don't buy the cheeseburger for the pickle, though. If your cheeseburger doesn't have a pickle, it's weird; a pickle goes with a cheeseburger. Not really the metaphor Peter thought it was
