Yes they still bet on HK…results there from Weds night. No fixed odds on HK racing hence you won’t find any of that…they put the fields up on a Saturday normally once the HK scratchings are confirmed the day before racing with how the ballots are over there. They’ll be up later today

They use hawkeye and it would be server based within each broadcast unit

Feel free to email nztr or call the NRB and ask them what the hold up is, rather than moaning about it here

Kurow…would definitely NOT have a high speed fibre link for a once a year track…satellite or Kordia link

Guess it all depends on the trackside crews…a lot of travel for them at this time of the year…especially the southern teams

John is a bitter old Avondale hack

Dumb comment…one of the better CE’s in the game here

He’s done it before…he was a board member of NZB

All worth an absolute fortune

Good bloke, could train

Were you blind? Most of the way 3 wide no cover and pulled

I think it means on the home turn the rail is out further than the listed course, so B course worked back means that turn rail on the home turn might be C coursee but then works back into the B course on straightening. you think of how many meetings they have, the corners would get hacked up so they have to push the rail wider on the bend

No idea, I am no turf manager but if you regularly follow hk racing they do it all the time and then publish it as a media release.

Renovation Works - Happy Valley turf track 26/09/2024 17:02 The verti-drain and corer were used on the Happy Valley turf track to alleviate surface compaction according to the following schedules: 12 – 19 September A to B Course (Worked Back Position) 26 September C Course (Worked Back Position) and the remaining area On completion of the works, the areas were lightly rolled as per previous practice.

Hong Kong after every meeting verti-drain the strip they have raced on after every meeting. So it’s not new for this type of track

And the joint should be shut down.

Well you would have to ask the club about that…also understand tab network and broadcast infrastructure was also destroyed in the fire

The power switch room was destroyed when the place caught fire earlier in the year

They have the contract I believe just for the studio facilities in Auckland. They don’t provide outside broadcast facilities

Melbourne/Vic Racing https://www.trpbroadcast.com.au/facilities.html https://pro.sony/en_MY/press/delivers-sixth-ob-truck-trp-record-time Victoria Harness & Perth racing use Mediatech/NEP Racing NSW have their own fleet

Because before ATR it was Counties Racing Club. They no doubt will probably find the $$ now so they dont have to hire NRS
