thats the strange thing isn't it. i personally think a significant part of the decline in not only turnover but the exposure the sport gets,has been a result of policies enatced by the tab themselves. And one significant part of that has been the neglect the tab have shown towards the services provided at pub outlets. anyone who goes into pub outlets these days,compared to 20,10 and even 5 years ago can see the massive decline. I've started threads on it and given the cause,whcih i believe has largely beeen a result of tab policies. i could go over them again,but whats the point. The tab over the years knowingly neglected that aspect of their business,screwed the publicans who ran the pub outlets with terminals where you got served by a person and foisted the use of these terminals on to customers who don't like using machinesthat often took forever to put a bet on even if you understand how they work. And the tab knew some of the pubs who had these outlets had staff who had no idea how to help people if they were having trouble with placing a bet on a machine,and the same staff would tell you that, if you asked them. I remember going into one,just 2 years ago,asking about how to fill in a form,being told i don't know i'll get someone,waiting 10 minutes while no one else was in the bar at all but the staff chatted,then when that person turned up being told,i don't know and they they ahd no interest in wanting to know how their machine worked as they weren't silly enough to bet.,or words to that effect.And that was at a pub that they mention a bit when they run races in canterbury. you have to remember who your customers are as well. whos kidding who. The tab was shockingly run in many ways and has accelerated the decline in customer particpation on horse racing. the horse racing footprint in society has been reduced by poiicies of the betting agency that said they were there to promote horse racing. Its like all they did was cut services to make more money ,ignoring that cutting the services would undermine their customer paticipatiojn levels. its been flawed thinking all ther way through. But thas what happens when you just look at one thing,i.e. the profit/loss without factoring in the consequences of your actions on customer particaption. The HRNZ survey of not that long ago said 50% of the people surveyed never used facebook. Well i think ikts safe to say,those same 50% won't like using self service machines. so this promotion of giving bigger odds on selected races on thise self service machines is odd. like you say newmarket,hey ntai/nztab,don't try to make out you care about a certain segment of your customer base when for the last 20 years you have shown you don't. -

Your bias and negativity clouds your limited analytical ability. Check the sectionals on Racing.com. To win she would have had to run under 1:07 for the last 1200m. The point i was making, which you disagree with without any analysis, is that Damask Roses run on a track that doesn't suit her style was up meritable. In my opinion it indicates she is capable of winning a decent Group race in OZ. But anything Tangerine is the green of envy in your eyes! BTW since when did you speak for anyone else other than yourself? -
