    A Crusader?

    Meanwhile Oamaru Trots are running on a perfect track with dust!

    Geez BOAY and its Owner are very distant from being a brown shirt! Not exactly rainbow...

    Does it matter? You don't win that often.
  5. Chief Stipe
    Assuming that the level of Stakes has a direct correlation to Turnover. We both know it doesn't.
  6. Chief Stipe
    Would you prefer "Protagonist"?

    On here @Muzza I can make you whatever you want to be. Just don't say like @Thomass !

    Did the Stewards walk the track before race one? Did horses gallop on the track prior to Race 1 as per the protocol? If they did were the Stewards there watching? What would have happened if there had been an issue in race 1? Would the same heads be on the chopping block?

    Important to who? What actions will be taken?

    Why do WE need to do due diligence? Most of us can't put our bias to oneside to analyse a horse race let alone an industry!
  11. Chief Stipe
    So? You have what you think is a favourable measure are you suggesting we should more industry days at the same clubs? I.e. what changes are going to be driven by the metric?
  12. Chief Stipe
    But you don't have enough data to do a fair comparison. The only comparison you can really do is comparing this year with last year vs the same race meeting. A direct race stake to race turnover comparison achieves what?
  13. Chief Stipe
    It is a pointless measure @hesi . There are other factors to consider rather than just turnover/stakes on a particular day. However unless we see all the financial data then it is pointless doing the comparison. We are unlikely to either as ENTAIN are a listed company and have no obligation to report detailed commercial data on a daily basis to anyone.

    I try my best. Have you had an epiphany or a catharsis during you summer break to Bali? Or is "Pot Kettle Black" your theme for 2026? PS: Return To Conquer is going to make a lovely sire. Put some nice horses away in his short career.

    I'm not obsessed with it at all. I said OTHERS are.
  16. Chief Stipe
    Why is it "that important"?
  17. Chief Stipe
    I can understand why they don't! Social Media Cost Accountants have enough fodder to fuel their conspiracies and prejudices. It is getting tiresome seeing crap analysis comparing Kumara or Cromwell with Ellerslie or Te Rapa.
  18. Chief Stipe
    Yes there is no harm in starting a run earlier and wider than they have been but easier if there has been an even respectable tempo. OP on Aksil was a perfectly timed ride.
  19. Chief Stipe
    Was that your preview?

    A marketing slogan started 20+ years ago.

    So if you only bet on BETCHA when they send you an offer and withdraw when you win how do you have a "BETCHA account manager"? I suspect you are full of shyte.
  22. Chief Stipe
    Yeah. That is how it is going to be from now on. If you are on course you can't see the horses until they have gone 700m unless you look at the big screen. Also it impacts the stewards vision as so far there is not side vision. I guess you can see a lot from the seagull view!!
  23. Chief Stipe
    Bloody hell. Race 1 a hack canter for most of it then a sprint home!!!
  24. Chief Stipe
    Cool. However you haven't told us how YOU are disadvantaged. The reality is you aren't - you still lose as much as you did before.
  25. Chief Stipe
    Says the cost accountant. Regardless who wants to run their expensive top class 2yr old at Reefton?
