Trackside/TAB NZ and their idiosyncratic programming.....

The producers have no idea , sometimes they have all NZ racing on the same channel and most of the rest on the other , then they have days like today , where the decision making of what goes where is decided by someone who's hungover from a week on the piss .

Either that or they have forgotten to take their medication .

It basically sums up NZ racing , all over the effing place with no real direction .

Well I'm assumed that Ellerslie Gallops and Nelson Trots would be on the same channel.  Surely until the Ozzie Gallops kick in that would be the optimum wagering revenue return.  It isn't as if there are competent knowledgeable studio presenters doing lead ups to either meetings.

Instead we get Golden Gate dirt racing and the mandatory horrid yankee commentator!!!!

The Trackside 2 Presenter just said - "and now we welcome another international venue Sam Houston...."

Great stuff a four horse field from the USA with $5 in the Win Pool!!!!!  Meanwhile are the horses in the Parade ring at Ellerslie?  Of course Aiden Rodley and Co are too busy being Jockey agents today!!!

Before reading the above lead posting I had already complained to the feedback section of TAB help line about the idiotic splitting of Ellerslie and Nelson harness on the Trackside channels.

Furthermore it appears there is a policy during the week of suffocating local gallops with greyhounds. She might be a nice person but listening to Pippa's long drawn out greyhound analysis is torture. Quite often greyhounds run deliberately late leaving hardly anytime to view 16 or so local galloping runners.

As a result of harness and gallops being on separate channels I couldn't even name one trotter likely to start in a NZ Cup or three year old classic.
