I think we all find the reports interesting as each of us has their own view on what we think is fair and whats not. Yesterday there was some interesting decisions which i think people could view a little differently. Paul Nairn got a 10 day suspension when driving the trotter forgiveness in race 2. i can understand that one. In his defence you could say,well the horse may have broken had he used more vigour. Maybe thats right as its a horse that just gallops for little reason if pressured,so its a tricky one for nairn when driving. But he did carry a whip and i think he just didn't quite look to show enough intent between the 200m and the 50m.I guess he got a longer suspension because hes been found guilty of that previously. I can understand why hemay feel a little frustrated he got found guilty,but what choice was there when you look at the video. Then you have the trevor grant case adjouned for a written decision. His drive at motukarara was on the 1st of april,and maybe the punters who backed him thought they were april fools after watching him in the final 200m. Now his case looked as clear as day so not sure why he defended it. But the decision will be interesting. Then you had lionel dobbs. He started the day by admitting a whip infringment from a couple of weeks ago and got suspended for 3 days.Then in race 7 he was charged with using the whip in more than a wrist flicking motion in the home straight. Now,mr dobbs doesn't have the greatest success record when it comes to his driving. one 3rd from 118 drives. But there is no doubt he can train a racehorse,just by looking at how well his small stable of gallopers go,especially emanon who has won $323,000. His horse yesterday,betterthandiva, fought hard all the way to the finish and ran a very creditable 4th. but as to his drive,I can see why the stipes looked at his drive,but shouldn't they take into account that mr dobbs is a very tall person. Did the way he drove down the straight really warrant the 5 day suspension he got? Personally i don't think so. -

I just wonder who the punters they think are watching the tv ads that will be enticed to bet on the perth races? Also,i've looked at the tab website but i can't see any mention of the first 4 races being bonus back.Its on mainstream tv but not obvious if look at the perth races on their website. i find the whole thing a bit strange. I'm all for tv ads on mainstream tv. They don't seem overly costly. I would imagine given they produce their own clips that entain may be paying roughly no more than $500 for screening of the adds. They say a 30 second ad on tv 3 in the middle of the news costs about $9,000,so i can't imagine the ads at the timeslots they were using would be much. But how about use ads that possible customers can relate to and promotes nz racing. For example why not highlight say blair orange,the postman,will he deliver tonight. Highlight in say 3 x 15-30 second clips over a 1 hour timeslot the last 400m of his best placings for the night.Just start off the clip with his horse ringed. Raise the profile of industry participants who people will follow. It would be easy enough for the likes of the dunns as they are always in the same colours. someone at tracside could put that together in a short time and just play it the same night or next night ,whatever works for the tv . All i'm say,just use the tv ads in a way that actully may promote the industry,which would have an impact in attracting future punters spending.

Given you don’t need any qualifications or experience, it’s not really surprising (but woo, If you’re a steward you get to drive a branded car 🤦♂️) https://www.seek.co.nz/job/74978840
