obviously no one is listening. I suppose thats predictable enough.
Todays races all seemed to try and start on time.Invercargill especially don't like to grab a few extra seconds of turnover.
the only thing i notice is the invercargill starter likes to drive the mobile really slow which can cause the odd galloper and possible false start.Don't think hes doing that to increase turnover though.
Actually the 2 races that had delays today,i observed and saw there turnovers increase by over 25% of the figure that was on the website a minute after the delays happened.So it could well have been more.
imagine that. all someone has to do at hrnz is say,lets introduce some pre race start procedure for most races or delay the start by between a minute or 2 and hey presto a 20% increase in turnover.
I would imagine they would get a pay increase,an extra weeks holdiay and since hrnz love the bonuses,they could throw a $4000 bonus as well.
Maybe they could do what those aussie gallops meetings do,just walk the last horse or two,to go into the stalls for that extra minute or two..
seems simple enough to me.
