HRNZ programmers made to look silly

[the galah]

So,in the last fortnight hrnz have programmed and run 2 2year old races at addington.

So they cut the stake of the race 2 weeks ago due to such a small field. .

well,tonights race,had even less,only 3 starters and they left the stake the same..

essentially,the winner of the 3 horse race earned $2750 more than the winner of the 4 horse race.

why,because thats the way hrnz progrmmed it to be.they said the stake is based on the number of acceptors,not the number of starters.

and you see,that of course means any trainer could essentially accept with a horse that they have no intention of starting, to make sure HRNZ pay out the higher stake.you can't blame any trainer for simply being too clever for hrnz.Mind you that doesn't seem too hard the way they programmed it.

So what was going on with the stipes not giving the dalgety trained Roger That any stand down.

surely,for the sake of tranparency the stipes should have told people what the exceptional circumstances were which meant he got off with no penalty .

Don't they know that Dalgety,after roger that won 2 weeks ago,had reported on his website that roger that was not going to run tonight and was going out for a short break.

So whats going on there.Can't the stipes work out that people may ask questions why they decided roger that wasn't to get a scratching penalty?We can giess why,but maybe thats why they are saying.

Hrnz really don't seem too clever sometimes.
