    Rule Number(s): 638(1)(d)This is a defended hearing arising from the running of Race 2 the JP & Associates 1300. Senior Stipendiary Steward Mr Williamson filed an Information pursuant to Rule 638 (1)(d) alleging the rider of GAS MONKEY (K Asano), permitted his mount to shift in when not sufficiently clear of ROCKLAND which was ...

    Actually I have but can't prove that. I know when a horse I had a share in won most of us got on big at 17's. Eventually it was backed into 6's and favourite. The TAB hurt that day. Recently though didn't we have the BGP place a large bet? Sure the odds weren't high but their potential win was considerable. But obviously they are the type of losing punter the TAB likes and doesn't restrict.
  3. Chief Stipe
    Yes but you could argue that they often get the price wrong. That's why Mardigras spend their entire day looking for value.
  4. Chief Stipe
    Now you are contradicting Mardigras who has posted that the TAB wouldn't do that.
  5. Chief Stipe
    Except he is selective in what he chooses to answer. He still hasn't answered why wouldn't the TAB override a restriction when the punter puts up a decent size bet on a horse that the TAB has priced as the rank outsider.
  6. Chief Stipe
    So you are saying that those that are restricted are treated equally in the sense they are all restricted under the same process. Brodie says they are not treated equally because the restricted amount varies. Geez Mardigras you'd get a job in this Government!

    There should definitely be an investigation into the Openbet and Randall Broadcasting company setup.

    FFS we've covered this ages ago - keep up!

    There is nothing new in this article that the more astute BOAY posters haven't been posting since its inception.
  10. Chief Stipe
    Right so you're content with trolling rather than debating the substantive issue. All good. Each to their own I guess.

    That wasn't the question. Why wouldn't the TAB take his bet of $1,000 to win $80,000? You say they won't because they (or the system) don't consider individual bets just the fact that punter Brodie historically has been a winning punter.
  12. Chief Stipe
    So if Brodie pitches up next week and puts $1,000 to win on the Spitfire at 80 to 1 should the TAB take his bet or restrict him?
  13. Chief Stipe
    Semantics is it not? Supposedly what you are suggesting is that the system identifies a winning account and flags it for future bets. I would have thought that the risk of an individual bet relative to the pool should be determined regardless of what account holder makes it.
  14. Chief Stipe
    I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled it out of their arse. Technically their flash new system should be able to do it automaticallt without human intervention. However if you believe that and that their is no human intervention then I would consider you gullible and potentially clueless.
  15. Chief Stipe
    So you consider that for example a judicial system that determines a crime deserves a prison sentence is equal but those that commit the same crime should be treated differently in terms of the quantum that they serve. That in my opinion and many others is not an equal system.
  16. Chief Stipe
    You have no evidence to support that assertion.

    The issue I have Mardigras is that the Politburo is getting more inefficient and getting to keep more and more of the pie while taxing the Proletariat more and more to pay for their largesse.
  18. Chief Stipe
    I can understand Curious how you support the new policy as it is a kind of socialism isn't it.

    Do the Trainers and Jockey's get a % of the stake paid to horses beyond 4th? If so the Jockey's now get not only their riding fee but a % of the stake that they wouldn't have got previously. Either way the Owner is getting screwed!
  20. Chief Stipe
    Yep - do you agree with the double dip that is now happening? The winning owner is not only getting screwed now if their horse wins but all the way down the chain. Still has to pay jockey fees but now a % all the way down the field no matter where the horse finishes!!!
  21. Chief Stipe
    Well you don't know that they aren't. If the total Tote revenue plus Fixed Odds revenue plus Export fees didn't earn $10,000 in total revenue then things are much much worse than it appears. Adding one extra race to a programme costs zip in marginal cost.
  22. Chief Stipe
    All well in good and what you are discussing now is a fundamental problems. However don't deflect away from the fact that what Bernie wrote is absolute bullshit.
  23. Chief Stipe
    You don't "think" so? Or you "know" so? The point you and Mardigras are making is that NO race in NZ generates enough revenue to cover Stakes. Therefore it follows that the minimum Stakes that are paid should drop.
  24. Chief Stipe
    I know where you are heading with this Mardigras. However if a $10,000 race in NZ ISN'T self-funding from the revenue it generates then the BS that Bernie wrote is even worse! OR does he want MORE 8 or less horse fields because the amount he pays out in Stakes reflects more the amount of revenue that the race generates? Of course those EXTRA $10,000 races cost the industry nothing more because the variable costs associated with adding an extra race to a 10 race card is minimal. Now I'm sure Mardigras you have the statistics at your fingertips.
  25. Chief Stipe
    Oh forgot to add. Bernie spent $1m on a new computer system on "in arrears" funding - which isn't finished yet so I expect the final figure to be 3 or 4 times that. Now $1m equals 100 $10,000 races.......twice that which was funded by the below 14 starters! What should happen is that if a field has less then 14 starters then the Stake that each horse "wins" should increase i.e. the $10,000 stake should still be distributed to those that participated. Now I don't agree with paying out for mediocrity but if I ran last in an 8 horse field and got a windfall I'd be happy.
