Greed and narrow mindedness. We can't encourage someone we don't like, despite their product. Also despite any starting gate sponsorship they might offer a track we'd like to make surplus. We live in a complex world of weird personalities. I've seen a bit over the last decade I wish I hadn't witnessed. Everyday in racing I'm seeing some mental shit. You are definitely right. A tiny home, or multiple tiny homes, should be used in every stable, stud, training facility etc for housing staff and families, if only for security. -
They clearly do not want place bettors whether it is tote or fixed! The pools on place tote is significantly lower than tote win pools now and it did not used to be this way! It has occurred since some moron thought they would get rid of showing any place odds both fixed and tote!! Total lunacy and just one of the many idiotic decisions that has been made by TAB to put the NZ punter off. The Brains Trust is missing on many occasions. -

Interesting industry. Sort of industry racing could combine with. e.g. display over the Riccarton carnival but do a deal to display or promote at any meeting. I note there was a tiny homes expo at Mystery Creek around Nov 1 2025. Are clubs too greedy they don't go for these mini expos? Can't find any race sponsors for tiny homes or cabins. Trainers and stud owners for one could be a market, -
i don't think you can use bonus cash or bonus bets on tote pools,but yes the bonus bets and bonus cash is inflating ff turnovers. as you and i have pointed out before,if the tab assess the need for restictions based solely on whether a punter is profitable on ff betting or not,they fail to factor in the big pictute of the overall contribution to the racing industry by each individual punter,,whether it be tote betting takeouts the tab receive,ownership,sponsorship,etc,etc. and the tab/entain have demonstrated they are willing to cut off their nose to spite their face type of thing. I can only assume that within the tab there are people who receive bonuses based around how much profit they can gwenerate within ff and those people couldn't care less that they are losing a punters tote turnover because of their decisions,because it doesn't effect the assesment of their bonuses. its the only explanation i could come up with for what i call the level of stupidity as regards some of their decisions around individuals in the past. i think your right. clearly they have a strategy to kill off all tote each way tote betting,especially tote place bettingi. The pools are so pitiful sometimes that theres simply no point in having place bets on the tote. The tote betting,especially the tote place betting,these days is just for the $1 ew punter. If you used to spend a hundred or two a race,or now days even a $20 place bet,then you would have flagged tote betting long ago as you cut the odds too much. and the powers that be still haven't said what the total betting or attendance figure were for nz cup day.Obviously they can't spin that to make it sound positive enough for them. And i wonder how the breeding numbers are going.They must one day hit rock bottom,but that doesn't seem to have happened yet.I wonder how bad this year will be. Drive past a couple of the studs and i think you will see the answer.Where have all the horses gone? -
