Assange

It matters to the owner paying the float account.

Anything south of the Waikato is Outer Mongolia as far as NZTR is concerned.

Don't laugh at the off season comment. Synthetic tracks are back in play. Jumps Racing is on a reprieve (for now). Even Weigh In is finished " for the season".

Considering the time and money spent on this track (and the fact that Ellerslie had a big oops at their first meeting back) there should have been more checks made on the morning of the races - especially when the rail was moved after the trials. If the RIB take over on morning of raceday, what protocols do they have to check the state of the track?

But the track @ Awapuni isnt like Ellerslie's is it?

I thought a lot of his explanation on Weigh In was a lot of techno speak without a lot of understanding. Suggesting watering the night before races? We have experts on tracks. We have experts on horses. There seems to be a lack of communication between the two.

So remind me again what penalty Kurtis Pertab got. Seems he didn't get a clear message.

My big bugbear is not getting the times, especially after the 1st race when tracks miraculously get an upgrade.

FFS why wasn't the new Racecourse Manager given training and support before? Just another reactive statement. They must have a number of "Abandonment Response" Templates by now. Just change the name of racecourse and Bob's your uncle.

Horse slipped.

Interesting that the more time honoured races take in the most money. Especially seeing the Karaka races had BGP input.

Do the stipes walk the track?

Interviewing Kate Hercock and querying rail position. Interesting.

Article does not show the fact that Entain is being investigated in Australia for money laundering charges. Read the Aussie papers. Different angle on this.
