ps, in 1975 the NZ Working Class had a Lot more disposable income than today! 

I think they had less things to spend it on.

Funny Chief….

No wonder you turn a blind eye…. This turned up when clicking your site this morning, as well as the other ADs you have, just constantly clicking. 
I know, your answer will be its what i am clicking on, i say BS, i never gamble on any online casino, unless your lovely Entain is involved sharing info.

There is a theme developing here @Newmarket .  There is a difference between clicking on the Casino Ads (which I bet you have done) and gambling at an online casino.  However you may have also commented about online casino gambling on a forum somewhere hence declaring an interest be it positive or negative.

Of course there is another explanation where the marketing campaign is using an aggressive poaching campaign of targeting online users who gamble over the internet on ANYTHING.

Well…. Lets see if anyone else gets bombarded with it….

But just to say, we never usually see eye to eye, but i do wish you and your family a Very Merry Xmas, and thanks for providing a racing chat site. And no, i have not been drinking….

In fact, everyone have a great Xmas & New Year 🍻

You too. I don't decry those who enjoy Christmas - I'd rather go fishing.  But...

The most joyous Christmas's were with my daughter when her joy was youthful and not complex.

Bit like when we just had the Tote, no fixed odds and only one wagering provider!!

You think you have a land line.  I doubt there is any complete copper cable connection between two callers left in NZ.

@Newmarket will be wishing Jamie Melham a Merry Christmas now that she is back and in form!

Talking race tracks, early '70's, Addington, there was ONE public telephone box on course, a long line would be formed for most of the meeting! most trying to ring their bookie!
ps. (blush) we still have a landline!

Many of the so called advances in technology are not necessarily for the best.

Xmas was all about racing.

The Auckland Star 4-page broadsheet lift out for Boxing Day races at Ellerslie.

The trip to the TAB to put your bets on

The infield at Ellerslie with all the Xmas day left overs and a few BYO so you weren't robbed blind

The 4 day carnival at Ellerslie, with the best betting day, by far the last day

All gone

Used to like oncourse exchange trebles / doubles. Always at Addington after a close finish…. pop down to view photo finish pic beside old main stand. 
 

Only went to races couple of times for Jackpots, the buzz around course was amazing, not sure of they were exchange as well? No doubt somebody will have some good stories about them, anyone get one up?

That’s before my time. It’s not all bad these days. I’ll bet you couldn’t have a bet on a race from Las Piedras Uruguay or Izmir Turkey back then.

Question for the galloping punters?

Are galloping punters restricted from punting as much as harness punters?.

I was told years ago from an employee in Petone that galloping punters werent restricted by the TAB Bookies!

There will surely be some that are but is it big numbers or just a few?

Presumably to know that one would have to be restricted from both codes.
 

You would imagine less would be restricted from gallops though.

Does the punters promise 5k limit apply to today's racing or harness racing?
