MGA won't be licensed for NZ once the new licences are in place. Entain could and probably will get one I'd say, but not as part of their relationship with TABNZ. -
Probably be larger as they wont be walking the dogs? -

It will be interesting to see how many turn up on course? not the best lead in weather for a summers meeting! not the best looking weather forecasted for sat, a max of 14c with southerlies... A few interesting fields to be had! "we" will be on course, happy to take any photos if any boay'ers have anything running! I be looking forward to seeing young Jack Taplin riding for the first time! Hoping I can get a winning photo of him! -

Ok. Never bothered to look at it before. Just started get ads for some reason. So what would stop the TAB getting a MGA license? Is the Government not going to allow ENTAIN to bid for a license? -
things cost DOUBLE what they did 20 years ago. everything. including running horses. It makes perfect sense when the entertainment dollar can be spent on other things. Family friendly things that the kids can get involved with too. kids usually stay outside a gambling industry until 18. Crazy to get them involved while doing schooling. Nearly all the current participants (NZ and OZ) are in the sport from family connection . over decades. The sport is fading (especially NZ ) with the family numbers a Lot less these days. people had less kids. Remember how many Butts and O'Reilly and Butchers there were for example at one stage? the next generation coming through is light in number. Roy even had 3 sons (and massive winning Son in Law ) that carried the Purdon colours for decades. Exactly what happened/happening. Barry and Tony and David Butcher, Mark Purdon , Maurice and Bernie still go round each week at Auckland like they did when I was there 40 years ago. They are STILL WINNING nearly all the races , (with the Dunn and Telfer satellite stables joining in too) at Auckland , and yet you talk about them like Brodie these days . that they're all rubbish and should be shut down with so few horse left racing ?? they're all due for retirement . They've all Served the industry THEIR WHole Lives and at the Very Top level . I've seen Barry winning Miracle Miles even lol. Yet this site Shows NO APPRECIATION of their magnificent achievements and wants them shown the door ? because the South Island is Better quality racing ? lol. 😅😉 a lovely send off for the absolute world champions of the sport. piss off Tony H. south Island is better. they still have standing starts and 15 horse fields . what quality that is for modern times lol. 😂 no room for you old mate .😁 sorry Galah , just a bit of 'Gamma' sarcasm to try and be cheery lol😋 Good on ATC still putting stuff on for those wonderful horsemen I say. should be applauded. Anyway they were/And Are All way too good to worry about any new participants turning up that Brodie called for. and the next generation which is Crystal Hackett doing trotters, and Nathan Purdon and Josh Dickie, Ben Butcher Matty White who are all struggling to win (or even get a decent team of horses together ) against those terrific old stables like Green and Barry Purdons that are still so competitive. The only hope was if you went hard at it with numbers (of horses and staff and starters) like Telfer and Dunn do , running stables in both Islands . QLD has Grant Dixon and Pete Mcmullen with over 100 horses between them. so they win a big chunk the Metro races they go in , and work very hard at it with great staff and great endeavor and Will to Win. you've even seen them both recently, winning 4 of the NZ very top features over the last year as well between them. just a Sensational effort. (2 with LTF and 2 with GUS) that's the model needed there. if going to survive. people like Diamonds and Stonewall. Dixon or McMullen . getting the bridles on and the horses racing. Bring it on !!!
