    • Can't disagree with that , but even that's rigged with NZTR deciding who gets race days or specific race dates.
    • Levin doesn't have the facilities to run their own racedays and would require considerable capital investment to get up to scratch.  Arguably they struggle to maintain what they've got as it is.   Meanwhile Otaki has to maintain all its facilities and rents to Levin for three days for peppercorns.  
    • I have no opinion on whether it is archaic or not however even that model wouldn't generate enough revenue for Clubs to pay their way unless they had significant sources of other revenue. Clubs have got by on voluntary work and community donations in services and kind.  Hell that is how Hokitika kept going.  My own father through his business invested thousands in his local racecourse because it was his passion and hobby.  That sought of generosity is diminishing rapidly for many valid reasons.
    • Last two decades?  Yet none of them have done anything to turn things around except expect more handouts?  As for your analysis of the 90's that's not correct either.  The majority of clubs were sitting on their hands and not keeping up with the maintenance of racing infrastructure.  Those chickens are flocking to the roost now! Those Clubs (big or small) that have racing as their sole source of revenue cannot sustain themselves.  That is reality.
    • What the other two?  @Huey doesn't count as he is just plain Anit-anything Racing. You are becoming much the same.  You are blind to your own hyprocriscy.  Why are you concerned now about this issues?  You weren't in the past.  The irony is you are the biggest moaner about losing your access to the plethora of other betting agencies across the ditch.  Your "kids" who are probably adults could have flown under harm rules by doing what their Grand-dad did spreading bets over 18 or more different agencies none of who would have any idea what your total quantum was!!! Yeah na!  You are just Anti-ENTAIN and are throwing your toys everywhere!  The majority of readers of your posts can see that. Doh!  They don't have a separate ATM in the pubs one for the TAB and one for the Pokies and only the latter is questioned.  The withdrawals are questioned and limited regardless of where the money is spent. The difference with the TAB is if you use your debit or credit card to load your account the information is recorded.  I know for a fact that pub locations will get a phone call from the TAB if repeated large transactions either in or out are done by the same person.  I guess none of you are in that category.  There are cameras in the pods as well.  Which is miles ahead of Pokie compliance measures which is limited restricting cash withdrawals from the bar or bar ATM.  Which is a crock anyway as how many bars do you know that within 200m down the road there is a Bank ATM!!
