I also get the impression that some of the presenters ain't that fussed being stuck in a studio all day,O'Connor didn't last long,a jobs a job I guess.
You would think on a day like today and every saturday that the TAB would have sold off the frequencies with a deal to have free to air radio.
Today ideally would be good if all NZ and main meetings from oz at least has some coverage,as I've stated it will be a sports station but please people tell me what sport is capturing the nation today? So days like today should be racings time.
The online simulcast is fine to degree,as in if you are desperate to hear the eighth greyhound race from Mandurah at 10 35 on a cold winters night,if you are really keen then you will find a way.
As for trying to promote sports betting,if the TAB dont have the sports betting then the younger people will just go elsewhere for their bets on the NBA,NRL ,MLB,premier league etc
Today I don't think is holiday ,yesty was and Monday is,tomorrow is a bit of a grey area,maybe the Saturday Monday for Hawera may not be a goer but surely something around this time could be accommodated,racing finished in CD area by April is a wee bit short changing things.
It's actually probably one of the slickest websites I think there is online,let's forget about the negatives as such like trying to get money out of them in some cases
The live in play for sport actually intrigues me how they can have game amiinations,(I think that's the right word) live and up to the second from anywhere in the world is rather clever,how they do it ,it would be nice to know.
They dont profit from winners.
Just to add I often wonder how much they contribute to any sport or racing organisation in NZ,after all they take bets on our racing and all of our sport as well.
To change direction just listening to zb and a add comes on,some guy called vinnie wants to be a guide dog when he grows up,fuckin hell,I'd rather win lotto lol.
Been doing some research on Waimate,just under 3 grand in the town,under 8 in the district,never hear much about the place,Norm Kirk is buried there,probably a lot of other people as well lol,in some ways the races were one if the most notable events to happen there,now it's gone,sad in many ways,I've been there a few times,I'm sure lots on here probably havnt,just a run of the mill country town basically.
Only 9 acceptors for a non winners race,no Cambridge this week either,they are getting better numbers at Manawatu,good stakes too 12000,seems it dont matter anyhow.
They need to get stuck into the harness officialdom seeking reinstatement,why the obsession with ridding the industry of these small community setups, they probably don't cost the industry anything.
