Quantify that with real data. I guess a social studies chap doesn't play with real data.

You've lost me on this whole thread.

Are the landlords licensed?

Not your paddocks! You've given up.

Thanks @hesi for posting that. I do like Elen Nicholas as a Jockey. Time we all pushed back against some of the crap. Point the shotgun level instead of at our feet. BTW that's a bastardised metaphor.

Yours already are.

You seem rattled. Weren't clubs getting a greater % of funding from their oncourse turnover at one stage?

Colin Whiteman has been doing it for years. First time I've heard you complain!!!

That they may well be and at one time it was important to allocate oncourse based funding. But in today's world the average person can't distinguish between what they need to know and why they would like to know let alone statistically understand it. Looking at the Covid pandemic it would appear that many scientists didn't understand data either and politicians weaponised it. That's the danger with distributing all the data on a regular basis let alone basing KPI's on them. This Topic is a good example of that. Yes thank you @Kit Walker for posting the data. But does a 4 raceday one week data set prove anything?

Why would ENTAIN do that? They have no legislated obligation to do that at the micro-level. Their responsibility is to their shareholders. What's more why do you actually need to know? I gather given your negativity that you are not even a shareholder.

Online. NZTAB turnover is hardly an investment.

If you use the crude application of stats then Geo-blocking has had resulted in a 50% improvement. I.e. July is up 4% and August is up 6%. A difference of 50%.

But you've already stated that you are not investing any more. "This is my last horse" etc.

When was that transaction? NZTR and HRNZ don't do much either. I can understand why they don't as compliance costs are high.

I don't understand your vehement negativity towards ENTAIN. Without them the TAB was broke.
