  1. I'd say it was more like the industry gave them the finger, possibly a couple and they reacted as they did which seems appropriate to me in the face of that kind of treatment.
  2. I don't have a major problem with the ad either if that's what they want to do, however, I question the veracity of the $80m figure and wonder how that was arrived at and whether it meets advertising standards. Also, if I do say $1m per year of turnover with overseas operators and almost never watch trackside, what is the use of it even if it is effective? Not much use if it doesn't reach me. I'd never seen it either till it was posted on the NZTAB site.
  3. You could take an all up?
  4. What rule is that? They are required to be ridden in front of the stand though the stipes can exempt that from memory.
  5. Are they there to bury the dead, or maybe test if they can get the drainage water to run below the water table level?
  6. How else would they get them? Illegally? I did check some out a couple of weeks ago for a possible bet but there was no pricing and the races came up as abandoned before they were run.
  7. I take it you mean the breeding industry?
  8. Don't know what in the rules allows for that. It's based on riding days isn't it?
  9. Sorry but I can't be bothered corresponding with them any more.
  10. Yep. Same photo showing SYB in front.
  11. The noseband to the eyes has nothing to do with it. The other horse's nostril is over the line when PI's is just on it.
  12. Looked pretty clear to me.
  13. Yes. It's a photo of the finish. Not the actual photo finish photo so you can't tell anything from that.
  14. I know but where is the line?
  15. I don't see the line in that photo?
  16. to me it seems a bit like Burger King contracting out their pricing to McDonalds
  17. Isn't that part of the problem. The system generated odds are being generated by competitors for the same punter losses? Fail to see how that can work.
  18. Why don't they do that? This is when they could get away with putting up a 128% market. No competition at all.
  19. Not a great excuse when fields were out last Thursday.
  20. Went to have a bet at Otaki on Monday. No prices. They miss out again.
  21. A bowl? Sounds like a bucket and I don't think the govt will fill it up again.
