nomates Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Well well , i have bought a dominion the last 2 weeks and they have been as underwhelming as ever , so i was in 2 minds whether to bother this morning but threw caution to the wind and low and behold ! an 8 page pullout with 2 pages of editorial , with both Caufield and Randwick covered as well as extra meetings . So do i get my hopes up that this is the start of an ongoing new era for NZ racing or do i continue to keep my expectations low so as not to get too damaged when the status quo returns . Congrats anyway for todays edition , a template for the future . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark D Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Haven't bought a Saturday Dom for awhile but I see in another "sensible" move that have included the Sunday fields instead of re-running the fields put in the Friday paper.

Mark D Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 One thing I have noticed "lately" is that on the website the next 5 races to go "tab" now includes the No TV races. Of course years ago it used to but then the bright sparks at the TAB changed it. I recall when I complained to the TAB that this meant that punters were unaware of these races coming up they replied that they did that because the customers preferred it and pointed out (totally impractical )ways I could get round it - like printing out the schedule at the start of the day. Glad to see they've finally seen sense - presuming that it was deliberately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
