    What is a "dress rehearsal" in this context? Exactly what happens many mornings at tracks around the country?
  2. curious
    And how exactly are they "out of context" when they are at the finishing stages of a race?

    I think you'll find that most agree that it needs to be sorted, even some that aren't very compliant.

    Seems to me you are the one promoting some kind of conspiracy theory in this thread though I'm not quite clear exactly what it is. Anyway, I'm off to the races to watch a few horses get beaten up and hoping I don't have to beat a naughty one myself.

    What is?
  6. curious
    That's a good post of hers. What did she say about Argon?
  7. curious
    Seems a bit odd. The TAB are still taking bets on the pre-nom Guineas markets.

    Anyone seen these? They closed at 4pm yesterday.

    Didn't know you frequented HQ?

    By my calculations, if you remove the 2 extra FY25 meetings, that represents an increase of 13.3% YOY turnover. Extrapolating from that and applying the same increase to say $400m GBR, assuming margins remain stable, that would mean an annual increase of about $50m GBR. Of course, not all of that is due to the online monopoly. Some has come from CPI, increased marketing etc., but even if it were, it is still only about 1/2 the predicted recapture at this stage.

    It's off topic but of course chlorine is toxic. Whatever happened in Havelock North, the people of Rangiora, including the council resisted it to the bitter end. Been good for bottled water and house filtration sales though. And yes, I know you are an industrial chemist.

    Pretty sure she did that in the interview. As I said, only those who listen will hear.

    So, now post where Becks actually said that, if it's her you are going after, not Garner's interpretation in his intro which she probably didn't even hear.
  15. curious
    I think you are completely missing the point.

    Some of you just don't listen. She's not on a crusade to ban racing. She's on a crusade to stop that happening. Those with their heads in the sand are the ones exacerbating the likelihood of that. Same route the greyhound community took.

    If you read, it's there for 22/23. 23/24 is in the NZTR annual report

    2023/24 Turnover Breakdown Total Domestic Racing Turnover: $1.31 billion Tote (Totalisator) Turnover: $720 million (~55%) Fixed Odds Turnover: $590 million (~45%) So yes. It's definitely BS.
  19. curious
    From the "Size and Scope of NZ Racing 2022–23" report Total Domestic Racing Turnover: $1.28 billion Tote (Totalisator) Turnover: $735 million (~57%) Fixed Odds Turnover: $545 million (~43%)

    He might have said that but she didn't. So if there's a nutter here, who is it?
  21. curious
    total bs.
  22. curious
    oops that was a snap.
  23. curious
    That's exactly what I'm trying to prevent happening.
  24. curious
    Don't agree. One is bred for food consumption, the other for human entertainment. I don't want any of them banned. Where did you get that idea?
  25. curious
    I've worked in a number of places with 100s of horses and none that I would describe as nuts.
