And then in the summer most of our big races are run after 5pm along with the big Aussie racing , where apparently we bet more than here , a bit pointless . NZ racing is such a shambles , everything is done half arsed , and this is just a continuation . There was a time we were as good as any , or was it a dream ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mates the other day I posted my experience of senz app and a certain smartarse told me to stop being a moaner on all things racing not that I care anyway but here's my ovservation Firstly they have a app that we in NZ can download,it contains trackside simulcast that the TAB run plus a few stations,one station is call sen track,racing but trackside radio on a saturday arvo consist of 4 guys sitting in a studio waffling about the race just been and the race coming up,no commentaries,no results,check it out for yourself,if they try to run that sort of shit here then it wont last long,however hopefully someone over here will do better,and you are right,1 till 5 ain't long and yes I'm not the only one who's stated that the real racing starts after 5,having said that it does emphasize what a good job they did do on TAB trackside,this new setup might do good for sport,as for racing I will and we all will wait and see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Centaur Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 SENZ purchased the same number of frequencies in Australia for $7m. Here in NZ they paid below $1M and I daresay a few freebies thrown in. Now the SENZ people know more about radio that the TAB but fact is that any advertising revenue rather than coming back directly into racing goes to private concerns. On top of that NZ racing will no doubt be required to fork up and pay for promotion. I'd like to know what the deal was with the awards promotion. No doubt free air time for the naming rights. I see Saundry is all over SENZ and how great they are. Perhaps he could judge them after they have started. He didn't do much to save radio before. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomates Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 A bit like when the industry used to own their own buildings but in their wisdom thought it was better to sell up and lease what they needed . We know how that ended up . Now we barely have to coppers to rub together . And we're expected to have trust again that they are going to get it right . Trust is earned . 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Centaur Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Sounds like they are up and running now with a revolving promo. Not a mention about racing. Saundry or the Jockey Association must make the point that...... JOCKEYS ARE SPORTSMEN/WOMEN TOO. The level of fitness, training, expertise and competitiveness is much higher than most of the recognized "sports" on offer. The SENZ commercial clearly doesn't acknowledge this fact. Off to a poor start. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeynz Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 I see one of senz new recruit has been sacked for a column he wrote on womens rugby and Jason Pine has resigned,hasn't even started yet and this,sadly I got my doubts about this lot,especially their idea of trackside radio. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
