Newmarket Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago On 24/09/2025 at 9:23 PM, TAB For Ever said: A lot of old favourites have gone into decline. Workingmens Clubs ...only 3 x left in South Island now ,and bowls clubs started folding too before they saw they needed things to change ! Horse racing is so bloody boring , always was but little else to follow and it was all you old dogs could bet on ,a half decent double could get you a deposit on a house ! Rare today ,and the young ones much prefer to dabble on Sports. And participants love to blame the admin folk but it wasn't them who behaved badly and got the industry such a bad rating among the general public ! Only 3 Workingmans Clubs in the Sth Island?? Its easy to see you worked for TAB… 1 Quote
