TABman one of the only Positive Posters on here. Because he went to the trots and the gallops frequently and enjoyed himself there , meeting with your great racing people. so am glad you miss him.
you're Wrong about Auckland though. Maybe you're a grumpy South islander that not enjoying the sport anymore , like so many New Zealanders these days. thankfully the Aussies here just get on with it , even though the sport runs in Debt here in most States as well . Just get a Horse and race It . easy fix for those that really care.
As far as Auckland goes, I thought it was fantastic living there for a few years. And it's still Ranked Very High in the world Mikey . Better that over 99% of the planet . give it a go old mate lol 😎 here's some Google stats >

Why are you sighing?
Can you not read? Silly Billy deliberately used his horse as a battering ram AFTER the race
If that's your idea of "messy" in an attempt to soft sell this appalling action then take a look in the mirror
Silly will get 3 times what the apprentice did...3 months at least
I think Mccook if that's his correct name must be fortunate to stay in his job, he's mostly greyhound, must be those cameos in out the gate that did the deal, there ain't room for all of them, Entain certainly ramped up the numbers back in the media, maybe they are seeing things different now, you also wonder about the logic of buying back the radio frequencies, we were all hoping of getting back more radio racing but it's still streaming on the app, and the TAB website, thats it so where's the logic ?
