If anyone is going to nail this prosecution then you need to find out who owned the Bichon. They cost more than a grand to buy

At the end of the day who in their right mind would trust you? Seems you have gone across to the other side just like RC whereas at BOAY we are holding the light for those that have real skin in the game.

All I'm saying is who owned the Bichon?

Well apparently CT has been enticed to the third channel. But I do love the love fest between the two little ex jockeys.

Still provides a better racing surface than Ellerslie with stuff all industry funding.

Seriously who owned the Bichon? It had to come from somewhere. A defense lawyer will walk all over this if no one can trace where the dog came from.

INCIS springs to mind. I didn't realise how woeful it was until I did the "Live test" today. Then when I started comparing with the competitors I went sick in the stomach realising what $50m could have done for the industry better spent. But what should have one expected when you appoint a career bureaucrat with no investment in Racing who was relying on a GM of wagering who had zero experience in that field.

Who owned it?

Yes but if you are going to bite the bullet and go solely online make sure that what you provide after spending $60m works!

A licensed stable hand is a thoroughbred and harness term. They need to be licensed now to lead horses into a racetrack, into the stables and parade ring.

This photo worries me. I hope that if it is true that there are witnesses. When I say hope I find that distasteful. Who's little dog was it? How did it end up there? Or will some smart lawyer provide a stuffed toy that looks identical?

They didn't need to consult hard core punters just look at what their COMPETITORS were doing.

Yeah but this pub agency is still one of the few that the staff diligently put up ALL the racing form for NZ meetings each day. That is at a cost to the pub not the TAB.

Is that the same as a stable hand?

But I thought he wasn't a licensed person?

Sorry Freda I missed that. Santa Ana Lane I've always liked.

Oh and there is a notice on the agency wall detailing what you can't do in person that you can do online. No Cash Out option with a multi. Wait for it............. You are restricted to 10 options in multis in person NOT 25 which you can do online. Damn was there a multi option for Winx's last 25 starts? Oh and on the notice a friendly reminder that multi option numbers on race meetings no longer correspond to the meeting number - they are random.

I've just worked out what the NZRB'S strategy is! It's so cunning you could pin a tail on it and call it a horse! I was sitting in the local today which is one of the few TAB agencies left and thought I'd pretend to be an avid big punter. Ooh that's a nice looking horse parading for 2 seconds at Avondale. I'll open my TAB app and check out its form. Little green hamster runs around and takes me to sports. I click on racing and the hamster is back doing its run. BTW always back the hamster as it always seems to win. Now I click on the extended form and get taken out of the App to a website. Bugger they've jumped the prelim I saw was pre recorded. Mmmmm next race let's do a comparison. I click on the ad on Racenet for Sportsbet and three clicks I get the information i want. There was me thinking that the 4G bandwidth I was using was insufficient. I'll try another provider next. The NZRB master plan? Simple - charge Racefields fees and clip every other providers ticket. Mothball the $60m plus app and new backend system. Claim depreciation. Yahoo profit! Brilliant. I wish I'd thought of this before! Would have saved a whole lot of angst and frustration.

Not that you'd know as unlike the rest of the world our TAB doesn't have the fields or the odds up yet.

I'm surprised that none of you racing diehards have mentioned that Pitty has Enzos Lad racin in the Chairman's Sprint in Hong Kong on Sunday night.
