TAB For Ever

Poor me Huey , maybe you can explain your bias ....your posts seem to be cynical , bitter and looking for self pity. Clubs have been working together for years ,sharing Admin functions ,equipment etc and those who have looked beyond their own doorstep have done a lot better than those who have been hamstrung by personal interest and bias. Racing no different to other sports and businesses who have not only benefitted with a bit of co-operation and collaboration but often it has meant survival. I guess it just easier to blame NZTR from the safety of one's padded cell and keyboard. No doubt you will be looking forward to the fast approaching and next episode of the great West Coast soap opera ! Rip into it !

NZ Racing , and critics and keyboard warriors are included here, seem to be struggling with ideas to get more folk involved in racing .This includes attending race meetings and wagering more money on the TAB yet we have the doom and gloom who rubbish any attempts at achieving this. BGP certainly has created a fair bit of interest with followers right around the country. I've attended a couple of their shin-digs and most impressed .

Gamma, I'll have a guess at trainer / jockey leaders. Trainers.....O'Sullivans Jockeys.......L.O'Sullivan G. Rogerson D. Peake N. Eales D. Walsh C. Jillings G. Childs Rex Cochrane J. Collett Happy New Year

Doomed old son , For a poster who regularly says he has 'lost interest ' in NZ Racing you sure seem to care about it a lot ...with an obvious bias toward the raw deal the South Island gets . What Club are you aligned to ? I have always liked the Timaru clubs for both Gallops and harness but they seem to have given up the ghost decades ago and slowly but surely lost their influence. Even reading their last two Annual reports one senses there's not a lot of enthusiasm there. But like you they seem to bemoan the fact that they not teated well. The few members who actually attended the AGM were told that they [ Timaru] were in better financial shape than neighbours Oamaru and Ashburton , two other of you favourites.Do these Clubs ever work together ? So when you answer the questions that the Chief has posed to you on this thread you may like to tell us what area you live in and what Clubs you feel aligned to through either membership or bias . Thank you .
