That's up to them to say. It is also irrelevant as on BOAY everyone's opinion is valid regardless of their experience. Are you sure you didn't go to Christ's College?

The reason is? You are missing the point. The synthetic surface is supposed to provide a consistent surface with regard to firmness ALL YEAR ROUND. They also need to be used all year to be profitable.

Yes I don't know the reasoning. I can only assume it was trainer and supply reasons. However as I pointed out there will have only been 2 trial meetings at Cambridge in the last 4 months.

She makes all the presenter staff decisions. That must be right because she says so on her Linkedin profile - About Living in Christchurch working with the awesome team at Trackside (Entain Australian and NZ) and NEP. I am currently managing our incredibly talented on-air broadcast team including all Trackside presenters and racing commentators. Hence we have lost some very very good commentators. How does she work from Christchurch?

This photo is an indication of why I find it hard to watch. The on air dress code seems to have a very broad scope and whoever advises on fashion needs a new job. Why can't they have a trackside blazer provided by their employer? The trimmed down Whale is the only professional looking one among them!

It's one of my gripes with the Trackside presenters. It appears the dress code has a very broad scope. Some of the fashion choices are appalling. Why can't they have a shared blazer?

There is a policy on BOAY that anonymity is paramount. If someone wants to tell all who they are then that is entirely up to them. I see you have taken full advantage of that policy and arguably you are no less an anonymous keyboard warrior than many that post. This policy enables anyone in the industry to post their view without fear of recrimination.

What about the other two? So you are disappointed that the trials at Cambridge have been cancelled and they are being held at Taupo instead?

Will you start a new Topic so we can get this one back on track?

No you can't access parts of the Dumb Post for free.

I don't believe it isn't in doubt. But clearly you haven't checked. Unless of course you are the Idiot Savant himself.

Didn't realise you knew @Brodie aka The Brodster!

Use the online app service - either on your computer or smart phone.

No he is only partly correct. Name one solvent bookmaker, anywhere that allows unlimited betting and winnings.

Wrong. Charge her. I guess they had no option after she admitted the offense publically and Chloe's attempt at cover-up had failed. Watch this space more to come and more casualties. "Police statement on shoplifting investigation" Police can advise charges have been laid as part of an investigation into shoplifting reports that are subject to ongoing public interest. Today, a 43-year-old woman has been summonsed to appear in the Auckland District Court on two charges of shoplifting. These charges relate to incidents at a Ponsonby retailer that allegedly occurred on 21 and 23 December 2023. The woman is expected to appear in the Auckland District Court on 1 February 2024. Police are continuing to investigate, but given matters are before the Court we are limited in further comment. ENDS. Jarred Williamson/NZ Police

As always you dance around the point. Chippy is still leader of the Labour Party is he not? And your're not? You posted something without even having an opinion on it let alone critiquing its veracity!

Stuff left wing propaganda masquerading as mainstream media!

Correct. Correct. On the money so far. Damn...your roll didn't last! No it is only restricting those who either consistently win too much or whose bet on occasion significantly changes the risk profile of the book. Every bookmaker has the right to refuse a bet or limit the amount bet. For example would you allow a bet to win $20,000 on a book that only has $500 in it? What are you doing to entice new punters to racing? I was hoping you would finish on a win... It is the nature of wagering/punting that someone wins because someone loses. Are you suggesting that the TAB should continually lose? However I do agree that some of their restrictions are ludicrous. For example a friend of mine was restricted how much they could win on more than one occasion for bets less than $50!! But that was before Entain.

No problem on BOAY. However the Topic has meandered away from what is an important issue - upgrading the status of South Island races. Reminiscing about the past doesn't address that issue. Yes discussing it on an online forum doesn't either but it does start a conversation.

Yep it is the Greens worst nightmare and poorly managed. You'll see information drip for a while yet. A whole lot more to come.

What is clear is you don't have any original thoughts or opinions just rabbit whatever you read somewhere else. Add to the list of deficiencies - hypocrite with a short memory. Now you are saying Chippy has GONE... Does the Labour Party Politburo know that?

We don't know exactly what he asked...right?

Looks like Chloe in that picture. Apparently Chloe tried to run damage control for her buddy!
