lol! hence my rather aggressive talking down John Allan at a public meeting when he said there was a real need to educate the average/new punter about betting.!!! ?

lol! it's because of igits that believe that sort of bollocks that the State now says No to violence to children!!! ps. talking about society's ills, perhaps it's time for you to brush up on the exploitative nature of modern capitalism in nz! that's where the majority of current problems can be traced to!

others would be saying "easy to spot the idiots!" ps. proud to say I have never spent 1 cent on them... lol! happy to donate about fifty bucks a year to local school raffles.. amusingly, after 18 years, still to win one prize!!!

Who the Ombudsmen can investigate What kinds of organisations can the Ombudsmen investigate? Ombudsmen Act 1975, s 13, Schedule 1 The Ombudsmen can investigate the conduct and decisions of any of the following agencies: government departments and ministries such as the Ministry of Education and the Inland Revenue Department – and specific units and services within them, like Work and Income (which is part of the Ministry of Social Development) Crown entities (government-owned organisations) – for example, the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC), Housing New Zealand, the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA), and the Commerce Commission boards appointed under specific Acts – for example, the Charities Registration Board, the Arts Board and the New Zealand Geographic Board state-owned enterprises – for example, New Zealand Post and Transpower New Zealand committees of local government bodies such as city councils, district councils, regional councils and harbour boards (only the committees, not the local bodies themselves) public health authorities – for example, district health boards education authorities – for example, school boards of trustees and universities. Who can’t the Ombudsmen investigate? Ombudsmen Act 1975, s 13 The Ombudsmen can’t investigate complaints about: private individuals, and private organisations like companies and incorporated societies lawyers MPs and government Ministers (however, the Ombudsmen can investigate complaints about advice provided to Ministers by government agencies and decisions made by Ministers about requests for official information) police conduct – these complaints are dealt with by the Independent Police Conduct Authority (see the chapter “Police powers”) decisions made by a local council (but the Ombudsmen can investigate decisions made by a council’s committees, including a recommendation from a committee to the council that then results in a decision of the council – so this can be an indirect way of challenging a council’s decision.) decisions made by courts, tribunals and parole boards.

"Marxist-type bureaucratic regulatory conditions " lol!!! this reminds me of when Marx once said "I am not a marxist" referring to the ravings of a person throwing around cheap jargon like De Lore. Gee! I wonder how much spittle there is all over his computer! ? For what is worth! If one Was to actually attempt to apply a marxist approach! then one would start at the point of Production! Note how the cost of Service fees and the costs of getting a horse to the races is never out front in any discussion! Reflecting whom has Hegemony over Racing Industry. ps. i hold one of the bigger Marxist private Libraries in NZ!!!

except himself....

.

you do know who actually brought in the Minister of R in the first place??? when you look in the mirror, what sort of igit do you see looking back!

lol! technology was the winner in d town... unlimited fast as fibre and landline at $80 a month = Brilliant! ??

General admission: $20.00 Ascot Stand: $70.00 Garden Party: $59.00 Cavallo Club: $90.00 Silks: $119.00 prices for Karka night at Els..... how does Trentham stack up with this sort of thing?

As a person with a interest in 'racing history' etc that causes pangs of nostalgia, but in my rational brain I know it doesn't actually make much difference with my punting! if anything it should actually help!

....please don't talk about the elephant on course!!! ? or was that not on course?

at least when Ned Kelly Robbed you he had a Gun... NZTAB do it with a sneer...

yip, that be my tip! Re Betting in general: I'm always amused regarding our ever struggled with 'cognitive bias', with betting, I think we attach some winning logic to some historical wins! when I first started betting it was into very much into local pools! who had limited information! I still so recall being at Addinton (early 70's) and the Odds would get put up the Main Tote Board, NO ONE knew what those odds would be! you had then 35 minutes to change them! to finish with a Tip before the race!!! I Bet I Enjoy the NZ G1 Today! Regardless of whom wins! lol! Though I do have one in mind!

I would love to have seen the 'logic' behind going this way???

To be honest, my style of betting has changed where the races like this have not been that attractive! often if there has been a horse which appeals! then it's way under the odds.. give me WFA or set weights for 3yr etc... re NZ Handicaps, they more and more offer le$$ interest! gone are the large interest in always trying to find the winner of the 3200 races... esp Auckland Cup and races like Railway... way gone now...

tick... lol! you should be more tolerant and enjoy him sitting at the table! $omeone has to be losing... ?

should the jockeys have to share how the will tactically use this info?

wow... how could that happen? I would have to admit I use to really like being oncourse back last century for those meetings!! A track where you thought a good horse could always win! It has seem that the crowd numbers were not that great, watching from the tv???

and your BMI?

A suggested goal for you this year... try and really focus on actual needed criticism on 'things racing'. I'm 100% sure you would curry favour with more if you go down that track. ps. Mardi, you got some good stuff

for what it's worth! It was gutless behaviour by those involved! a typical 'anti intellectual' stance, from a Industry well known for it!

Smallest crowd this century! 10 years ago when it was free to get in the crowd was Massive! 5 times more than the other day! 10 bucks to get in! 5 bucks for a race book!
