porky

Oops I forgot to add...the old TAB site before its million dollar changes was easier to use and F/F option no,s were easy and sensible (meeting no.) race no./win or place. I pity the poor new punter...poker bet , lucky no. and a day on the piss oh well thats NZ racing...Winston has had his crack...whose next ?

I WAS ON TRACK AT HASTINGS ON SATURDAY...THE BOYS AND I COULD ONLY BUT LAUGH AT THE CONTINUED INACTIVITY OF WINNIE AND THE PATHETIC STAKES COMPARED TO OZ...GRANTED, WE ALL LIKE THE 1ST AND 2ND RACE AND OTHER PROMO,S THE TAB ARE RUNNING BUT THE NEW FF OPTION NO,S AND THE FACT THE ON COURSE TOTE STAFF ARE ALSO AT A LOSS, MEANT ALL MY BETS WERE ON THE TOTE... attn: RITA... E.G. ECHUCA WORKERS MOBILE PACE Option Numbers:FFWIN: 178, FFPLC: 312

I,m a seasoned punter and know all bet types, and what I want to punt. BUT... the new betting platform should have come with a u-tube instruction video or similar. I like trebles &, all-ups, among other bets... It is a challenge ( for the newbie or faint hearted) to get a bet on / in time Whilst trying to decipher the form available under the PDF drop down arrow OTHERS ADVICE PLEASE (VIDEO AVAIL. ?...) HOW BEST TO SELECT AND TAKE TREBLES ON THE NEW SITE?

Yeah Nah...I,m no help Newmarket,,,still use Laptop (no problems there ) Had one of those newbies but dropped and smashed it. went back to Brick. Maybe your winning too much LOL

I try not to mix racing and politics...Bloody hard @ times given the state of NZ racing. I do air those views from time to time., BUT TAKE NO NOTICE OF INDIVIDUAL POSTS...EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OWN OPINION. BUT SHIT, THIS PERSONAL ABUSE BETWEEN MEMBERS SHOULD STOP. I have simply moved with the punters club and joined those particular 3 sites. You have run a good ship Chief ! , and remain on board !

I,ve never had a prob with how Jase runs the show, and good fun for a small investment.. .too scared not to be in...Big collect looming ! so have joined the RP also...nothing personal (belong to the 3 Racing on-line chat sites now)...won,t miss anything !

After these comments ...I was pleasantly surprised with free public gate entry on Saturday , only two 10k min. maidens and other good stakes and even fields...so congrats to sponsors / organisers / committee (and all responsible)... Free access to the Members Stand to all...we still went out the front, on grass, with chilly bin, as a lovely day.! you wouldn't have known it was happening however (i was unaware) , until on course . No inter track commentaries frustrating for outside punters(we are not all, cell phone, bet savvy) Probably like to keep money on track ??? ...I dont know ! ...is that the case ? ANYWAY THANKS ...

oops (should have been , " a tad political" ) ...talking of court action ...really ? ... I think he,s been watching too much Judge Judy

might be time to wave the magic wand Stipe...getting a tad politicac and buisness like ! seems Hesi (who should be mucking out ) wants a training partnership ... LOL

Hit the nail on the head mate ! that would have been far better spent upping min. stakes. Things that annoy me are easy access to track conditions, exotic will pay access, the PDF form is hidden in a drop-down ..(and cumbersome for study ...(require a few windows up) It lacks winning barrier stat info, concise c&d & weather stats...with expected speedmap.(avail. on other sites) Some of the promo,s are good ...double down !... but others struggle to match the top up offers offered by Oz opposition. And thats just off the top of me head ! ... Others will add to the list

I used to be on Racecafe...Fark knows why I joined the revolt ? and move to BOAY... (probably with punters club)...which i really enjoy ...week in week out ! (on competitions page) ANYWAY...all this teenage girly picky crap on this galloping chat and Thomas thread is tiresome surely everyone is entitled to an opinion. and if it is demeaning to the site Ban em Stipe ! ... Just make em miraculously vanish (with the wave of a wand ...never to be heard of again !)

Hard case all the aces !...Love it ! Room in racing for hard grafting Lefties surely Stipe ! ...I reckon it,s stacked with Private Schooled righties at the top end, and there in," lies the root of the problem"...free riding on the industries money !

blinken heck..this Messara report and digesting all this info Curious, has had me in a spin and confused ! BUT thanks for making some sense of it and readable to digest! UNBELIEVABLE ...TAX LAWS...AKA...CAPITAL GAINS TAX...CAN BE CHANGED OVERNIGHT ! AND THE RACING INDUSTRY STILL AWAITS MEANINGFUL CHANGES...EH WINSTON MUST BE NICE HOLDING THE BALANCE OF POWER UP STAKES...SORT THE REST OUT LATER !

Agree Baz...she,s a tough one, and you've pretty much summed it up ! Would be nice to think otherwise though... makes owning a battler hard too, at the existing stake levels... So I guess the whole things Farrked...from the bottom up !

shitty little Hastings is a great course...have the Sunline hat and attend as many meetings (most) Baz... BUT things in NZ Racing could be done alot better...Stakes and entertainment options, to kick off with.

Hard Case... 2 mates and I were all lined up to go to the Hastings races Saturday...overcast and cold as, so gave it a miss and met up at the mates. We had an in depth conversation about the shit-house management, attracting newcomers (either next generation , new influential business, money type people (usually at wine concerts) , or even, us, regular racegoers. Things that must be addresses ASAP ..Entry prices, Bar prices...so ( in adverse weather...when the 6pk or bottle of wine BYO , and chilly bin pic-nic option become unpleasant ! Create indoor / outdoor... summer/winter family entertainment options for all. Can,t be that hard...better late than never...we are a joke compared to Aussie racing !

Agree Reefton and Nomates ...everyone has given up hope, bereft of Ideas and just waiting on Winnie to wave a magic wand ! Clubs need to do it for themselves with FAIRLY (not who ya know) allocated Pokie funds upping Stakes in conjunction with an organised Sponsors /Punters room. Excellent mid race entertainment, to make paying a public gate charge, worth while. Make racing a horse as an owner, enjoyable again, and not an exercise in opening the wallet, and propping up an Industry ! Well...those at the top end are quite happy , and looked after, Thank you very much..., there in lies the problem !

Have my treasured Sunline Cap...you will be remembered fondly by many ...R.I.P

I,m getting used to having multiple windows up for form analysis, but shit, taking bets...whatever they may be...Trebles and all-up /multi,s especially frustrating,... its almost as though they don't want ya money

increase stakes so new or existing owners can afford to pay training,jockey,vet bills, acceptance fees, / float fees etc,etc. ... a no brainer ! well that is why I voted Winston anyway...These Politicians are laughing at us from their million dollar weekend baches...Wankers

dont get me wrong Baz...I would love Rondinella to do it. Any Kiwi win is special..;mate we had some hair-raising Brisbane Carnivals when Roughy was "stickin it up em" //www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFhfmgddFVk

on wet track and course stats looks like Avilius, Red cardinal and Big Duke 3 horse war as the market suggests... James Mac adds to the Favs resolve...double ya money to be up out of your seat and on the verge of a heart attack, watching Red Cardinal sail home for a place (could even steal it)...well that's my 2 cents worth ...for whats its worth !

I could have developed a better site myself for a wee cut of the 50 mill stood there with a tech savvy bloke or chick, roamed around in circles, scratchin me head, thinking of improvements from the last site... It,s just a whole new learning curb and a click fest to achieve what was already achievable on the old site. Pity help the elderly or newcomers to racing...it may strike up a new legion of followers at TAB,s and increase Pokie profits.. (Ahhh that is what it,s all about ! ...the penny has just dropped) Admittedly I find less problems getting on and staying on trackside! easier and taking a treble and next 5 to go ok...BUT juggling between bet types / PDF form etc is no good on the heart rate whilst trying to take jocks,trainers,barrier draws and weight into account whilst looking at start time and getting bet on ! Come on Winnie, make em accountable ! Its not too late to make the site "user friendly" The 50 mill would have been better served upping stakes and tempting newcomers into ownership.

your probably are right Turny...have been loyal waaay too long...theses fuckwits dont deserve it ! Seems to me, private schooling is a pre-requisite to a 50 mill spend on nothing improvements. Come in Winston... COPY.
