Yes great effort. But has Lisa over taken him today?

Maybe not....but the Mesara Report has hardly given us a vision for the future has it? There is nothing in there to address the quality of the product. However there is talk of big investment in infrastructure but what use will that be if we only have low class brumbies left to race?

It's alright I found it - a hidden sub-menu under the NZTR Race Info menu.

Does anyone have a link to an update on the Trainer and Jockey Premiership?

I might put his posts on delay then I can make the tote plummet.

Weasel the problem is some consider Thomaas's punting Blue Print as "offensive" - so where does one draw the line? The irony is that those particular posts have initiated some great posts around different punting techniques. It is up to the reader to sort the Chaff from the Oats. I've rebuked Thomaas for overstepping the line with the Nazi comment. I've also deleted or hidden posts that have overstepped the BOAY rules. One of the downsides of this virtue signalling nanny state that we live in that disables free speech.

I understand that the pressure of Christmas might be getting to some. Can we call a truce on the sniping please. Just a reminder Thomaas you are tolerated here unlike elsewhere so can you focus on aiming outside this tent (plenty of targets) rather than attacking individuals inside the BOAY camp. That said I consider you fair game when you start espousing your Blue Print (BP) for punting success. I'm considering putting an auto caveat on your posts that says - "BOAY takes no responsibility for readers losing money following the BP. Use at your own risk." Thomaas can you ease up on the labelling please. To qualify as a Nazi on online forums you need to a. own the forum; b. be limited in stature. Barryb doesn't qualify. As for the rest of us can we just chill a bit and have a bit of a yarn and even a laugh. The best thing you can do is ignore those that are irritants. Don't scratch the rash!!! Onwards and Upwards!!!

Apparently the TAB had their Christmas do last night at a dodgy bar down at the Viaduct. Explains things being slow today.

Doesn't that mean they have no confidence in the book they first set? I've long felt that the TAB has a Government Department mentality which doesn't work in a highly competitive market. Suggest they all spend a month working in the horticulture industry over Christmas then they'll know about what work really is! What's the bet we will see a notice come out about NZRB and NZTR reduced office hours over the festive season.

At $7 would it have been of value?

Yes the Guineas races should have their stakes slashed. South Island and 3 yr olds before Christmas.

I was there that night. I think Reon said something about the Red Sea parting!

Closing tracks and building a mega track isn't going to improve the quality. FFS - NZTR CHANGE THE TIER STAKES MODEL TO A FLATTER ONE! FEED THE GRASSROOTS!!!! (should do that with the tracks as well!). Don't run Grp 3 and Grp 2 races for R85's at $100k and $200k!!! CHANGE THE HANDICAPPING MODEL FFS! Let the good consistent long lived geldings keep on racing!!!! Base the point ratings on merit not some computer model on a spreadsheet! It's not as if the handicapper has a lot of horses to review weekly!!!!!
