I have been providing my thoughts…. until this one, shows how lost they are. Have removed from their list.

Horses falling…. poor riding, poor tracks…. you blind or what?

Yeah, true. I suppose with harness at least no fences in front of them🫣🤣

You always get the wrong end of the stick, I LOVE JUMPING RACES. But things should change as jumping racing both here and Aus not a good look. Maybe run over shorter distances, seems most fall later in race. Maybe some jump races shouldn’t be run on certain tracks…. lower fences? I don’t have all the answers, but the dog brigade over many years could have sharpened up their game…which could have saved them.

Have a mate living in Aus, pressure on to get rid of jumping. We all know 3 died at the the Bool late last year.

Pathetic….who received this? Where are the new punters or punters they want to increase their spend. Do they think a couple of crap adverts are going to do it? Obviously they are panicking…. thinking where are all the overseas punters…. we need to sign them up🤣 Sales 101…. look after your existing customers first, retain those.

Less injuries? Happy with Turnover? Where is that info?

Good on you for posting…. as I have always said the gallops rate of deaths is not good, far worse than Australia per % of races. Be interesting to see death rates of dogs racing in Australia…

I love horse racing…. but mainly Aus racing, why is that an issue, far easier to pick a winner Aus than NZ. I’m not the only one that thinks NZ racing is on a slide…. but good on you for turning a blind eye.

Mmmm…. Only had to pull out and it’s in the money….. crazy going back to inner.

Unlike you, I’m realistic.

Thanks, yes my point exactly. As for jumping races, I have always looked them, one of the first times I went to Riccarton I remember Grey Warbler winning. So it’s not about me disliking jumping, it’s what is happening lately in these jumping races.. too many falling, maybe inexperienced riders, maybe dodgy tracks….. I was pointing out that once the anti racing types jump on it jumps racing will be gone. Some may say I’m dreaming, but 5 yrs ago nobody would have thought dog racing would be banned.

Anyone else get survey from TAB? Asking for views on promotions…. or lack of, I gave them my honest opinions🤣. Me thinks they should be worried, been told from those in the know, TAB figures show no gains since overseas punting stopped

Dont think you could blame anyone but Blair, bad luck Galah…. It was certainly gonna be in the finish if it had stayed wide. Probably watched birdshit brosan do it in the 80s…. and though let’s have a go 🤭

Most bizarre post Chief…. Now let’s see…. Those in contact sports, I think they decide if they want to put themselves in danger or not…. nags don’t have any choice do they? Or will you disagree with this?

Last jumping race at Te Aroha another disaster. If greyhound racing is cruel, fuck knows what you call jumping in NZ.

Well…. Don’t want to sound like Forbury, but his drive on Don Juan was poor, why on earth go back to the inside, real brain fade. Before that, a horse ended up with foot in another cart🫣, amazing anyone bet on these races, as surprisingly pools usually not bad… I think the reason, these amateur drivers have plenty of family and friends, who have no idea what will happen… so easily put a few bucks on anything…. and of course, the bet on red brigade…

Even by Forburys standards…. that’s a nasty post

Just to add…. Do you really think Entain will get what they want taking bets from Aussie dogs? I find that hard to believe,

Will be another cost to NZ punters…. Entain will just offer less odds to recoup the 💰, no competition so who cares.

John Allen stated in 2020 that 56% turnover comes from 1.5% of the TABs elite punters? Is this still the case? Also, there are some intelligent types on BOAY…..do we have any early turnover figures for TAB in July… vrs 2024? Thanks

Good old Grey Way….Sth island had some great horses running around in the 70s & 80s…. Sadly, horses racing now are well below that standard. It was great to see horses winning from everywhere yesterday at Oamaru, seemed most had their chance on the heavy track. Would rather see more racing there than Timaru and Ashburton, which has a leaders bias…

Yeah, you are right. Unless fixed odds drift out, TAB normally pays better. One good thing about Betcha, Tab is the blended option, at least it lets you pick own races for multiple horses ion multiple races, escpecially if you have a couple you think are at overs

Well, the NZ product, you know the gallops that get abandoned every 2nd day, the 2nd tier horses, the dodgy riding in the Sth island, dodgy tracks etc….lets be honest, NZ punters punt more on Aus racing than NZ racing, so that shows how crap it is. American Football…. Tab reap the dough off that sport, and I’m sure the sport receives money from Tab in NZ 🤣 As for me punting, I still bet on harness, I don’t mind both meetings on a Friday night, but if betcha stops giving promos, I will cease that. I’ve started taking lotto again on a weds/ Sat, at least I know some of the money goes back to the community for decent people, or clubs that help kids etc…. rather do that than spend my dough at NZ Tab, so they can fix tracks and increase stake money, so that the rich pricks that own and race nags, get more cream

Yeah, desperate stuff
