Weigh In: Where is Harness Racing's equivalent?


Chief Stipe

Recommended Posts

I see David Ellis rounded the troops up and got them all to cough up some dosh for the resurrection of Weigh In.  Co-hosted by one of Harness Racing's favourite sons - Mick "the mouth" Guerin.

Paid for by the Breeding industry will Harness follow suit?

Will TAB NZ offer mate's rates as they have with Gallops to the Trots for the use of their Studio and Production Crew?

Probably not!

TAB hates harness racing and they treat it nothing  like the gallops!

Where are the harness head to heads for harness, whereas the NZ TAB runs head to heads for NZ gallops as well as Australian racing!

The NZ TAB dont give a rats about harness racing and that clearly shows by the way they treat it plus many of its punters!!!!

Harness racing is only popular in Canterbury and Southland, Brodie. The South Island is probably a small market for the TAB in both harness and gallops. Despite what they say the government is not interested in the South Island, businesses like the TAB likewise. Auckland, Auckland, Auckland is where it is at.

It is not live and is shown in the early hours of the morning on trackside. 

It looks like TAB studios and has the TAB emblem next to the name of the show.

Why is it on at a stupid time?

Watched the first one and it was not really worth watching, has it improved?

Not sure why they continued with the same format as it was not a successful one!

Needs  variety rather than the same old Same old blah blah!

NZ Cup odds etc. who really gives a rats if Self Assured is paying 2.20 or 2.40 8 weeks out from the nz CUP??????

Races from Swaziland take precedence over the local product.

A bit better.

Late scratchings  of Prince Teka etc and the 10FF place money initially offered in the Cup for Ashley Locaz would be interesting 😉

I hear they are getting Jacinda Ardern on the Box Seat to talk about betting restrictions and how she thinks it is very 'kind' of the TAB to have these to help people manage themselves better. Especially the punters who vote National. You will love it Brodster as Jacinda is always on the money.

Lol.Jacinda just wants to be in the limelight, and control those that want to be controlled!

At least there are some in Ozzie that have their eyes open and state just how non performing she has been!

Reality is that there are going to be that many dissappointed people who voted for her, and to be fair they deserve that, if they could not see what an incompetent lot they were voting in!

Seriously, what are these JOBS JOBS JOBS that she says they are creating?

Watch around  Xmas how many people are going to get the Dont Come Monday!

Many of these people will never get a job again due to the future economic climate and the competition for any vacancies.

You only need to see what Pak n Save is doing by now wanting shoppers to scan and bag their own groceries!

Most businesses will be looking at cutting costs and the first to go will be their staff as that is the biggest cost!

With Labour in power, the Unions know  how weak Labour is and already the nurses are crying out for more money, followed by many others lol.

This lot will be toast, Brodie is on the money!

JOBS JOBS JOBS lol

Dont knock it Brodie we are going to have two New Year's Holiday's and two Maori ones days!  Plus another weeks sick leave to get over them!

Yeah the generosity of employees is unlimited according to our esteemed leader!

Who would want to be an employer with this lot, Chief?

Increased minimum hourly rates will only increase prices, and everyone will want an increase!

Seriously interesting times, when we need a government with business expertise, we have got a government that  has not got anyone with any business success!

It will be just fine because we can all be kind to each other!

It is up to our leaders at HRNZ to advocate for a fair deal for Harness with the TAB.  

TAB  would get The Box Seat for free I would imagine but still won't show it at an appropriate time.

Come on HRNZ,  push the TAB hard for a fair deal

Brodie it's their sense of entitlement that the rest of the country owes  them something,I listen to newstalk zb alot,some guy the other talking about the smelter shutting and how they would be able to get all that power cheaply up to Auckland,simple fact is that as they the furthest  away they pay the most for power and the south pays less,fuckem.

I think they think they drive the economy but people with flash suits who can con someone to create false wealth is the way to survive,Rural New Zealand is and always will drive our economy,always has been always will,building more houses over good land is a waste,I even hate the idea of racecourses being built on,sold off not so bad but why not leave those nice open spaces for people to enjoy,not places for people to endure.

Booby, we can just sit back and watch the train wreck that Labour is!

Personally speaking with having Labour in power has made us seven figures over the Past 3 years, so I suppose I should be more than happy?
