Racing is a passionate sport,overseen by(well paid) passionless people.?

Have you told RITA and Len why they 'do' that.

doubt whether that data will be regarded as 'good' by the Chief! If the horses I back could run as fast as the Chief,I could have retired years..ago.

If you knew anything about the Mad Butcher franchise you can understand that for years it has been a shrinking business model. Leitch's son in law took it private with an IPO valuing the business at 40mil plus.Inept management and rinsing franchisees meant even though they worked their guts out they were lucky to earn minimum wages.As the decline accelerated the same guy bought the business back for 8million.Investors stiffed,store owners/butchers stiffed,suppliers stiffed...how unlucky can you get! C19 had nothing to do with this tragedy.Don't know whether you are aware but 10 kiwis commit suicde every week and have done for years.The American Dream is not all its cracked up to be. You have very little understanding of the real world...that's a shame but ...an understandable condition in people who do not develop a healthy cynicism and appreciation of debt servitude and are who are conditioned by b/s from the day they are ..born

Its obvious ,the only hope for racing is a National Govt ...they have always looked after racing...haven't they??

why have they had such a huge jump in unemployment given they haven't had lockdown?

Dumping that file is hardly doing some research.You are meant to save that for Friday afternoon! once again-Make your case re..'Because there is a corollary with what is happening with racing. Dumb decisions and rules are being made based on poor assumptions derived from bad analysis of bad data. ' ?‍♂️? awaiting your-''good decisions and rules made based on sound assumptions from good analysis of good data'... ?️ Where's a sledgehammer....??you dissed the Govts response as being 'dumb' based on...…. ?

still ducking and diving...next time think first..and do some research instead of the usual politically inspired kneejerk reaction.?

Piss or get off the..pot...Chief!?

Who was the Chairman/CEO at the time of the deal?.You could be onto something Chief.Get Max and 99 on the job.I always thought Sky had some role in on site race broadcasting

Would not be a prudent use of funds.It looks like an unsecured loan.Pay the interest and spin it out till insolvency looms.

You keep diverting away Chief....can't you substantiate your criticism?Again... Make your case re..'Because there is a corollary with what is happening with racing. Dumb decisions and rules are being made based on poor assumptions derived from bad analysis of bad data. ' ?‍♂️?

Dived straight into the deep water....Sweden had no lockdown- so how did this reflect your measure.i.e-'good decisions and rules made based on sound assumptions from good analysis of good data'... You try to divert as usual.Our DHB's had 9 years of neglect.

pure comedy gold! Make your case re..'Because there is a corollary with what is happening with racing. Dumb decisions and rules are being made based on poor assumptions derived from bad analysis of bad data. ' now drum roll....'good decisions and rules made based on sound assumptions from good analysis of good data'... Don't be shy.Bol!?

I see you have not bothered with any sound analysis...a pity ,maybe you could improve things. This 'jury' seems to be at odds with your learned conclusions! ' 'A global survey of the public relations industry puts the Ardern government top of the pile. As New Zealand records its second consecutive day of zero new cases of Covid-19, moving cautiously closer towards the goal of “elimination”, the government has received another international plaudit for the response – this time from public relations practitioners. A survey by Stickybeak for the industry news site Provoke found that New Zealand was selected more than any other country as the most impressive response to the virus. It received just over 20% of votes among the 289 respondents in the PR industry, ahead of Germany on 16.5% and Singapore on 9%. The next most common answer, on 5%, was “none”.Spinoff.

that's getting 'economical'...and usually following the tone set by site owners is advisable.

No one is 'worth' even 400k per annum in a listed company or Govt enterprise. The 'going rate for talent' is just another construct,like 'trickle down' indoctrinated into minds, since the advent of voodoo economics that took hold in the 80's.

Perhaps you could educate us as to...correct decisions and rules made based on sound assumptions derived from good analysis of good data. Very interested.Thx in advance.

My guess is an enticing bailout with proviso's about asset 'restructuring'.

They obviously learned a lot from their previous experiences with betting software.Feverpitch I think was one flop ,introduced by serial,successful failure Derek Handley.

Why do you insert biased political opinion into a topic like this?

Can't imagine they would save anything significant from removing radio.

As the economy tanks there will be less and less money available in every facet of NZ racing. It is heading toward a cliff at an ever increasing rate. The only hope for survival is an an aussie takeover.

I rang the TAB and spoke about the fee,years ago.Their line ,which I challenged was that the banks charged them the fee,lying pricks.
