  1. I agree with you our first point. Capping racing won’t work. That’s the fastest way to the end. If we only hold G3 racing here even more horses will be off to auzzie and even more of our best people. The bigger days in nz produce the most turn over. Introducing another operator to the nz market would be my 2nd change after a geo fence is in place. Possibly even having another agency wanting to buy into the market. Do you race horses?
  2. Your right who knows. There’s always to sides to everything but one thing I’m sure of is doing nothing always results In the same thing. Racing needs change and it needs someone to have some balls and have a go. Punters need racing and racing need punters.
  3. They won’t all just come flooding back but some might. Where would you start with fixing the tab then? What’s the first change you’d make to get things started?
  4. Barryb I’m definitely not saying the tab is perfect. But I’m looking at it slightly different. I’m not a big punter but I’ do have plenty of skin in the game. I love racing and work bloody hard to have the horses I do. The returns aren’t great change is needed. The overseas agency’s don’t put the same money back in as the tab. Your right maybe we do need another option here. But first things first let’s try something to improve the local product. I think increasing stakes will increase interest that should increase turn over. Then with that I’d expect the tab to up there game. But let’s at least start with something. Let’s actually do something to improve our industry.
  5. I come to this site most weeks. Just about every week someone on here is bagging Nz racing and how poorly it’s run. You guys are all consistently saying change is needed stakes need to increase. Well here’s an attempt to keep money in Nz and potentially a fair bit and you all bag it. I personally think it’s a great thing, auzzie do it currently. Sure we only have one place to bet but just remember that’s the place returning the most back to our racing! Nz stakes need to increase and here’s an idea that might just help it’s a far better idea than I’ve seen anyone else come up with.
  6. So true he’s a great bloke and the testing system is definitely fucked!
  7. How many other tracks in Nz have the rail out as far as riccarton? It just shows how over used this surface is. We have other tracks in the South Island that are under used and already in place. Are they planning to use the all weather track for racing at this time of year?
  8. In order to encourage participation, the maximum re-rating for the winner of a non-Group or Listed handicap race will be 6 points while the maximum re-rating for the second-placegetter will be 3 points and the maximum re-rating for the third, fourth and fifth placegetters will be two points. Previously there had been a maximum of 10 for a win and 5 for a placing. What does everyone think will a rating 45 will only increase to a 51 with a win? I understand that races will all be open for a start but will every horse be re rated once this all changes??
  9. I definitely agree!! Why not have a daily update on what ideas are being kicked around. Some of us live and breathe racing! At least if ideas are being kicked around it gives us hope.
  10. Yip I agree definitely didn’t jump off!!!
  11. Scooby you seem to be against these trainers any reason why??? I agree with poundforpound. I have also seen what's going on and have to agree a personal issue is what's going on. If champion/Murphy have made all this trouble why haven't the had a fine from the track. Before this extreme action was taken. That's what there rules state a $500 fine for breaking there rules. Unless I'm mistaken they haven't had a fine.
