TAB For Ever Posted Friday at 11:42 PM Share Posted Friday at 11:42 PM In Entains time the NZ Herald coverage has improved a lot.....big days feature prominently and every Friday covers main meetings .....add on Entain fullpage ads plus Te Akau ads selling shares to champions and its hard not to know there is still Horse Racing in NZ. But today , looking for a review of last nights Trots , one finds the racing article features a preview of big winter Jumps races from Hawkes Bay and Ruakaka. Obviously someone filled the gap with a piece from June/July 2024. The cricket piece goes back 7 decades to when NZ scored 26 -all out v England at Eden Park...March 28 1955. Gave people plenty of time to trudge down to a TAB and take a 50 cent double , on a handwritten yellow slip and hope that the Doubles collect was enough to put a deposit on a house. It sometimes did . And todays $5.20 Herald cost 3 cents ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
