Going to the Stradbroke again,, Looking forward to a decent crowd & hopefully a Kiwi winner or two Was there in the Bar with many disgruntled Aussies,...Pumpa weaving his Magic on my favourite horse. Not too concerned about entry (paid package already) Probably $8 xxxx,,s, , (who needs to eat. LOL) plenty of time for that later. Hamo Hotel or Casino MUST ADMIT H.B Racing does a good job over the Spring Carnival, all handy public amenities. B.Y.O 6 beers / bottle of wine , & good old hot dog, with plenty of sauce. Crickey ! Houlahan's Dream , a NZ racecourse without a Hot-dog is like a farm with out No.8 wire or Red band Gumboots .https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=235592995035300

I reckon I could do a better maketing Job. The arse is falling out of NZ Racing... How about catering more for the Public ? Oz do it well, as hard as it is to admit ! I watched the cup as usual, But yeah the absence of Public numbers & Glitz & Glamour was obvious.

I get shit on the other channel for rocking the boat occasionly, BUT, I have been part of the Industry and will gauge results on these tracks, more importantly as Berri says above, is horse numbers and attracting owners, outside the top trainers./ upping Min.Stakes and putting the right people in charge, to, increase crowd numbers and entertainment value, for both members and public racegoers, should be of prime importance.

1.... 7 Very Elegant 2.... 1 Anthony Van Dyke 3....21 Tiger Moth Last..20.Etah James Cheers...Good luck all

Agree totally Baz and Shane, I,ve run a couple of Syndicates with mates...SURE the fun aspect is there, BUT, Unless you are @ the top end and in a big syndicate, (or lucky), the expenses far outweigh the income ! And the novelty soon wears off.

Yeah nah, I enjoy the race 1 & 2 F/F win bets (if come 2nd,3rd or 4th) you get your wager amount (under $30) as a bonus bet. BUT..F/F win odds appear shrunk....would be an interesting exercise comparing them to winning tote prices. (don,t have time) the fact you get a second chance (admittedly less wager amount) is quite appealing.

off the subject a tad Moose BUT yeah I hate all these machines everywhere that you cant withdraw from. Grumble , Grumble...sigh of the times I suppose...along with once a year pissed youngsters spoiling major race days. BUT hey good to see good crowds returning ! more organisation needed...chuck em in the middle with a band

I better be careful with names here...I recon Peter Kelly and Keith Haub along with George Simon (3 of the best IMHO) would have had trouble meeting those credentials ! They either have their man (as listed) so they can say they followed employment law to the letter OR ... a lengthy employment process is in progress to Justify another inflated Suits Salary at Head Office.

I really enjoyed the Video ...as for the Health and Safety ruling and penalties ...that is out of my league.

call me paranoid...BUT... NOW it seems the TAB play games with the odds...To ensure their winning balance sheet ( fixed, and advertised TAB odds plummet quickly to match closing fixed odds) and yeah, they are playing games with make a deposit and receive a free bet offers whilst trying to get the up to date contact info on every account holder and their punting activity

Bring back the Friday Flash and Dominion Friday lift-out... Had all my bets sussed and ready for one trip down the TAB ...(after the 8.16 scratchings) 0800-10-20-30 and a human would answer the phone (well versed on all bet types) ...should any further bets be wanted during the day. by the time you,ve hit the PDF drop down button and start studying, on this new site, They have jumped and you,ve missed ya bet. I preferred the old site ...Having said that ...I enjoy the will pays for exotics

Fri, 02 Aug 201910:36am Winning Team & MarginNRL: New Zealand Warriors v Canberra Raiders New Zealand Warriors 1 to 12 @ 3.40 $5.00 I collected $18 off the Mighty Tiges win and for some unknown reason (i feel a warriors win coming tonight)... something to watch anyway and I,m going to make the TAB pay (one way or another !) this weekend . ANYWAY...TAB PROMO DEPARTMENT...Money back madness and bonus bets have been a success (dream up other promo,s expand the portfolio) and don,t drop existing ones...some loyal customers are happy !

I get the odd bonus bet Baz... they dangle the carrot and I take the bait ! Had to deposit $50 today to get $30 bonus bet...have taken the tigers head to head to win $18 (once they have rescinded their kind gesture) My son said don,t be a pussy...take em 12 and under and have a saver on Taumalolo to score a try @ $4.50. we shall see...starting now. (WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE BONUS BETS?... THE PROMO DEPT. HAVE TO EARN THEIR BICKIES SOMEHOW)

WHY ?... TAB customers will be all over Aussie accounts

Yeah Baz...I still enjoy the promo, BUT only limited races now. They dangle a carrot and flick it away
