Then they developed the RaceForm publication and started to drop the TD and BB. They then went head to head against The Informant. In my opinion some scurrilous monopoly actions by NZTR/NZ TAB forced The Informant under while they continued to heavily subsidise their own publication. Been more back room manoeuvres since. Interesting watching the various racing journalists hedging their bets and jumping ships before being pushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAB forte is fleecing punters. Instead the codes should have got together and created a standalone media and publishing entity. That would have included all sorts of specialists particularly advertising professionals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kihikihi Kid Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Love the Raceform but delivery way toooo erratic. Victoria St TAB copy arrives at 3pm on Friday. Not good enough sorry. Coming out of Wgtn is the strangle point. Go back to the flat paper copy BB/TD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
