I can understand both of your (Curious/TAB For Ever) views. What is not to like about about some top class race days providing outstanding prize money and the highly competitive fields that have been attracted. Then the glad fly moves off to the next light and that most certainly will not be what is scheduled after March. The calendar needs positive attention, many of you have identified areas that need attention yet in the last year it is all about glamour days/races. Everything is still way out of balance. A few Remutaka type races do not address the cost of racing horses and the reality that is; for at least 6 months of the year it is a drab existence. There are seriously large entities holding up racing all over the world and whilst it is difficult to see the Australia's and Hong Kong's of the world disappearing, NZ is not a gambling country and I do think ultimately NZ racing has taken a Pinocchio deal. Seduced by sweets but soon to face the coalface of exploitation. So you are both correct but on different perspectives. Enjoy the next few years. -
Been crowds going there for many years, no sure it's the promotion, certainly the facilities there wouldn't attract the hordes, I think it's just they appeal of out in the middle of nowhere, one off race day, and the novelty or it all, better stakes and fields, best fields of the 3 day circuit, -

Well you have a weird way of showing your enjoyment ! -
I'm not talking about one day's wagering. I'm talking about overall wagering revenue to costs including stakes. You ignore it when it's the primary metric for industry self-sufficiency and long term survival. I said that the one race day maybe a positive but that doesn't mean it goes anyway to addressing the issues which remain ignored after two decades of decline. It also doesn't mean that I can't enjoy what is left even though I hate to see the continued decline of something I have been involved in and passionate about for over half a century. -
Have you heard of optimism bias TAB?
