    I guess that's when the RIU figured they were AOD specialists and I don't actually see any mention of the Sallies. Where did you get that idea from.
  2. curious
    I think you'll find that is bs. Check your sauces.

    What managed supervision?

    I adjust by considering the times they run in light of the times I'd expect them to run without the howler. Still all relative.

    Something has if he ever had them. Biased, political and seems to change his mind about what is a good idea every few months depending whether he's running with the hares or hunting with the hounds. Do you think the above repetitive nonsense amounts to journalism?

    A racing journo? Are you serious?

    It's really just an account of well known history that was all pretty predictable and really doesn't help much with what needs to happen now, nor what did then other than that the persistence with the same old same old didn't and won't work except to temporarily benefit a few.

    I noticed that. And that was on a Dead 4? Must have been a strong norwester tail wind? As someone who relies substantially on times to assess ability it's a bit of a worry. As are the retrospective time adjustments for Friday. Any explanation for that? If they go that quick at Foxton today we'll just be coming round the corner when the winner gets to the post!

    Exactly. Their pricing is supposed to be how they manage individual bets along with risk management strategies. That is very different than the risk management of individual punders by restriction.

    It's the system though. Not equal but fair. The judicial system is designed to allow variable penalties for the same crime after accounting for mitigating and aggravating circumstances.

    Maybe owners should start putting rides out for tender?
  13. curious
    That's 10% increase. CPI +1.4% through September and many suffering paycuts and redundancies. Not sure who negotiated that on behalf of owners. The Owners' Federation? If so, they need to get a new negotiator.

    Well as JB says, free racing works in Oz. It appeared to be working here some years back but a faction of the TA influenced NZTR to can it when the shit hit the fan on funding.
  15. curious
    If you add that money onto the winning stake then the jockey of the winner will get it. There is no extra going to trainers and jockeys en masse however the stake is distributed.
  16. curious
    Not sure I get what you mean by a double dip. By whom?
  17. curious
    Yes JB. And here it's really a way of paying the jockey fee to owners in a way that trainers and jocks still get a cut of what would be otherwise lost stakemoney.
  18. curious
    Well you can't have it both ways. Above you said that those races were self-funding.
  19. curious
    But did they generate the revenue to cover the stakes, aside from any other costs of staging the events? I don't think so.
  20. curious
    As long as the money that is not paid out in an individual race is being used to fund additional races giving participants another crack at a winning stake, I don't really see the problem.
  21. curious
    Yes but in all those cases the winner and placegetters will still get the advertised stakes for their placing, just not any extra because of the smaller field.
  22. curious
    Gotcha. Although those funds will be redistributed in the form of extra races right?
  23. curious
    What's dumb about it?
  24. curious
    Don't know but the video quality is worse than Spark's.
