Thanks. I was being a tad factitious as I do remember them as you have described and it was that manual input that meant the betting on any given race was 60 to 90 minutes before the off! I was too young to put a bet on so I got my Dad to put mine on. He was a 50cent double man and right from the get go I looked for a larger slice of the pie. Early in my teenage betting career I had a ten dollar double at I think Otaki. Cannot remember the winner of the first leg but the winner of the 2nd leg was a sprinter called Gai. The double paid exactly ten dollars, I ran down the hallway yelling (incorrectly, real return $90) I've won a hundred dollars. My mothers friend was visiting and looked shocked as she said "That's more than my husband earns in a week" -

The TAB operator at an agency had a little book which he wrote you bet in. It had a carbon copy and you were handed the bet slip which was on yellow paper. Well that's how I remembered it. -
The latest press release says "hrnz is urging a change of mindset around racing young horses." from 1 october 2025,yearlings can go to the trials,although they won't race until they are at least 2"...."so it isn't a major change" now when alan clark was fined $200 18 months ago, for starting his yearling at a workout in september,the decision on the riu website said clark started his horse,massive merc "prior to the permitted time being 1 october 2023". later that decision said this "rule 402 provides:no horse under the age of two years shall compete in any race(except that nothing in this rule precludes a horse being entered and started in a workout or trial after 1 october in the year before it becomes a 2 year old under rule 401). so,ive read this lastest HRNZ press release and it appears Mr peden is saying that its new for yearlings to be able to trial after 1 october,when in fact they can do that already. Wouldn't it be a basic thing,that the fella coming up with the strategy to create bonuses and encourage 2 year old racing, actually fully understood the topic and the rules hes talking about first?. I've read the full press release and things he said later in the press release, seem to ignore other obvious factors which he doesn't seem to factor into his thinking. -
For the benefit of us younger 'boys behaving badly types' could you please explain 'yellow bet slips'🤥
