  1. Can anyone think of who might? Unless somehow NZTR think it improves wagering revenue?
  2. When was that?
  3. If you are going to change anything, this is the time to be doing it before the dates setting process gets under way in the new year. Once those are finalised in May, it's too late. As to who benefits from it, I have no clue and can't think of any possibilities.
  4. They come out every 4 months in their final form. This one in October.
  5. Don't get in a rush. They are only up to Dec 10th and it's Christmas.
  6. Anyone know what's happened to her? Off the scene for 4 months now.
  7. Pakistan?
  8. Indeed. 1993 behind Vintage Crop and ridden by CWJ
  9. That still doesn't answer the question. "More than 10k" How much more? 15k, 20k, 30k?
  10. I've asked you this before but you didn't answer. What do you think is "enough" for Levin to be paying?
  11. Yes and lotto has not made younger gamblers a target. In fact they are much their lowest customer age group.
  12. I've actually been researching and writing about gambling harm for longer than I've been significantly involved in NZ racing.
  13. Text only messages are not very effective for those either.
  14. Entain love and encourage it because those races sell more bets, even though they are our worst performers on a wagering revenue to stakes basis. All good for them though as long as clubs, NZTR and the wider industry are funding it.
  15. Research says that those messages are tokenistic and totally ineffective in reducing gambling harm which I am sure Entain well knows.
  16. Well, if you go back to the Messara report, he proposed that the sale of all 3 Waikato tracks would cover the cost of the land acquisition and a Pakenham style development of that.
  17. Is that the plan? Or is the plan for the current assets to essentially cover the cost of the land acquisition and new build?
  18. It is the future where there is a sound business case for it.
  19. Yes. That's an improvement. Unfortunately, flank use is only still covered by the improper and inappropriate manner provisions but as far as I know has never been enforced.
  20. Up until Entain arrived there was little promotion of gambling to young gamblers. Now it is massive by comparison in case you hadn't noticed.
  21. Agree about GRNZ but his argument that racing is a dangerous sport where horses and humans get injured and die, while correct, has nothing to do with beating horses for entertainment. It is moot. Didn't really seem to have much else to offer.
  22. Really. How can they keep preaching transparency, consultation and collaboration and doing the opposite?
