Isn't that 3 years in a row that the Captain Cook/Mufthasa Group 1 has had serious issues? I thought you'd be the first to call for accountability. They yet again dodged a bullet. If the margins had been a credit card thickness closer we'd still be waiting for a result. It appears not only did the main system fail but so did the backup.

FFS issues with the photo finish and electronic timing has been going on for years now!!!

Immediately after the race Stewards were made aware that the photo-finish had failed to function. This resulted in a delay in declaring the result while the Judge confirmed his visual call by viewing video footage at length in the presence of the Stewards before declaring the official result. The Club will review circumstances as to the reasons for this malfunction occurring. Report 2025-12-06 Trentham.pdf

The photo finish is posted for the race before and after the Mufthasa but not the Mufthasa. Seems they are still working on the Stewards Report as well.

What "ongoing App issue"? Did you run out of coins for the WiFi???

The new timing system wasn't working either.

What's the bet the camera is broken AGAIN?

Yes I'm afraid you're right you are beyond salvation.

@Huey when will you grasp the concept that the Clubs ran themselves into the ground. There was never enough revenue to fully fund them. When your wife stopped baking cakes for the stall and you broke the chocolate wheel and hung up the paint brush then ground rushing up was inevitable. If you want evidence from another jurisdiction just look across the ditch where State Governments poured 100's of millions into racing to keep them afloat. Now the fundamental question is should the assets acquired on the backs of gifts and volunteers be retained in racing or given to current members? Do you want racing to continue provincially or would you rather in an act of churlish spite give the finger and see racing gone completely?

I think you'll find the whole world was down. That said I've never worked out why the TAB uses Cloudflare. It was initiated under the pre-ENTAIN era by TABNZ's contracted provider SPARK. Cloudflare outage brings down major websites for hours - UPI.com https://share.google/42gsS7oko5DmPu5v8

Uh? Detail?

You split hairs over 6 months?

Thats not correct.

But their employees are not getting favouritism. Everyone who bets into the pool is getting bonus. That is everyone is treated equally in the pool.

No it's not a "have". There is a market for it and as the article above indicates a big one. Perhaps the 1,000 that turn up for The Grand Tour have also decided to but a FRAC share. Cheaper than a $2,500 set of bowls for the bowling club you're a member of.
