Not good enough at all

[Wingman]

Ellerslie Stipes report today " The meeting was conducted without the use of an inside photo finish camera due to the unavailability of the appropriate equipment in the Auckland region." And that gives me confidence in how the racing industry deals with the fundamental must have technological assistance..not

From the New Plymouth stipes report, General section: "Today's meeting proceeded without the use of an inside photo-finish camera"

Just adds to the 'woeful' lack of professionalism in such a critical part of the industry. As an aside are you connected to the Auckland cup winner? (1982..I think) Got me out of a huge hole as an over confident young man.

Whats the bet that none of this equipment has been audited or anything probably since jesus was a carpenter.

and they probably don’t have a proper back up system.

remember seeing on racing.com one day a story on it and they would always use two cameras regardless

Wow.  How bad is that?  Thomass wasn't happy and now he won't be the only one.

How can licence holders be told they must be professional and then we see these double standards where, to the public it looks all rosy with big stakes etc, yet we have non-existent cameras, patchy track watering as shown to the world via drone, boxes that can't be shut, broken clips and chains on tie up stalls, not enough tie up stalls and nowhere to walk your horse or give it a pee before running?

Wingman uses the word fundamental which is apt, and lacking.

Chief, call me negative and a moaner if you like but, I don't understand why these matters occur and are accepted and expected.
