They need to increase revenue and restricting turnover has a detrimental effect.
There used to be punters that went on course but now I would suggest there are very few punters on course wagering large amounts since the restrictions were applied.
Just makes absolutely no sense to have the NZ TAB applying an AML limit of $1k, as that is such a pathetically low amount in todays money!
For the TAB to want to know who is winning $1k is hindering wagering and reducing turnover and profit for them.
They seriously have made some poor decisions for the industry but then Entain does not seem to care!
that is because the House team support Manawatu. he has heaps of starters there ,to 1/ be able to Win races 2/ Get horses to win races for owners that otherwise would not get a win. can't wish them enough winners.
I think that Manawatu should have a meeting every week. Doody and Chilcott and Dickson and Abernathy's could all get winners every week then . Just too hard to win at Auckland. those top 10 barns are world class. They're ALL my favourites mate. I am in awe of some of their results over extended periods of time (esp Mark and Barry ) winning the very best like Derbies, Interdominions and Miracle Miles against everyone.
But they have tapered off a bit with age , as we were discussing . Natalie is gone too. and Mark relocated and semi retired . The Champ still can come to Queensland and clean us up though . Bought RUBIRA over in the winter and won the QLD Derby here . won 3 out of 4 actually, even with him putting an average driver on. and OscarB ran 3rd in the Interdominion trot final for him. Even while he's near retired he can still show em' how to do it. and the Aussies are VERY hard to beat these days too. Super competitive. amazing results from Stewart and Grimson and McMullen barns too. I've never seen such Grand horses winning. it's almost euphoric .
