Chief Stipe

It is a bit ambiguous. In 2020 the Total Turnover was $3b. Revenue and other Income $372m. What perentage of the 2020 Turnover and Revenue/Income was Thoroughbred Racing in 2020? The bar graph would seem to be the TOTAL income NOT Thoroughbred Racing. Thinking about it a bit more. The graph must be Turnover for Thoroughbred Racing because it the 2020 figure is higher than the TOTAL TAB revenue for 2020!

Shame you didn't use AI to write the whole post.

What's the Betcha "issues"? That picture is the TAB App not Betcha. I've never had a problem with either App. So it is probably your device and or the network you are using.

So you have $8 in your account. Which is more than @JJ Flash

Don't they all?!

Your point?

Ok - that's what my partner says.

Just transpose "live feed" with "real time". Ok?

There are a lot of people that do that. But I'm just speaking from personal experience. I asked him some hard questions over a beer and he was straight up. A lot of these people are constrained by Corporate Rules and the media speak is orchestrated. Geez you only have to watch the aftermath of a formula one grand prix to see that. His heart is in it. He doesn't care what social meda says and The Warriors would be a lot harder gig than Chief Stipe. Again I disagree. His Crusader record as a player AND Coach is second to none. The only mistake he has made is not to dump a few players that should have gone under the previous regime. Please don't ask me who they should be!

Really? Do you apply the same rules to Spark or One or Kordia when your race live feed cuts out? No you blame ENTAIN.

Perhaps. But I first met him at the local in Wellington (Lovelocks) when he was Chief Stipe for the RIU. He was a reasonable guy to talk to and I don't think he was a bad stipe. Where he went after that I'm not so sure. But isn't that a reflection of NZ Board management?

NZTR provide the data through an API (computer to computer connection). I do know that ENTAIN get race data from an Australian provider because NZTR's isn't good enough (or too expensive!). As for "transparency" do we really need to know why it was stuffed up?

Wasn't that an NZTR issue?

What's the "Joke"?

FFS that was August 2021!!!

@Thomass your screenshots are selectively timed to create a false narrative. That isn't free speech.

What a load of garbage. But I guess free speech allows free rein to post crap. To think some people miss you.

That's uncalled for. The forum system allows a few minutes after creating a post to go back and edit it. I use that function often to correct spelling mistakes or reword somethimg that when reread doesn't convey the meaning intended.

Perhaps we are over rating the oppositiom. Ohope Wins only really ran one decent sectional.

You just answered your own question.

Well he is still in his PJ's with one of those cricket umpire clickers counting strokes on his HD TV reviewing all the races this week. Been a big week so I guess he is behind.

Agree that she puts horses into a race. Sure it didn't work this time but the fact is her ride was very very untidy for some reason. I saw one of her winning rides today and I must say it was top class and very tidy.

Is that why she got a $3,500 fine for excessive use?

Good to see Jockeys putting their horses into the race rather than sitting back riding quiet. If the horse is good enough it has a better chance of winning than trying to run world class sectionals to make up lengths.

Yes no reason to suggest Mark Jones doesn't know what he is doing. Quite the opposite in fact when he predicted what she would do. I've actually found this is the case with a lot of those Peter Profit stories. But how fast is that Menangle Track?
