I had given up as I like to use an iPad while watching the racing on TV. But sure as anything at some point I would get the "white screen of death", a top taskbar and nothing else on the mobile app. Usually just before I went to place a winning bet, as is Murphy's 4th law on betting. I did convey this to their Support people but they suggested I use Chrome browser. I could have got more help from my young niece!. But got the same result. Re-installs, clearing caches, I went the whole mile. Probably out of technical curiosity than anything, couple d with a stubborn streak.. I opened up a Bet365 account and it worked faultlessly. The only thing it doesn't have that I liked on the TAB site was the Trifecta Running bet. So I have tinkered occasionally with my TAB account. Anyway I thing I have finally tracked down the villain in this app... the location services. You know that stupid check that I am in New Zealand and not some damn overseas person trying desperately to use their service (must be desperate or an ex-pat). Each time I installed it it would ask if I wanted to allow it use the location service: Never/Only this once/Always, and I always chose "Always" as you would. But now I installed and chose "Only this once" and although it has "white screened" twice, it always recovers by restarting the app, where it wouldn't before. I can not understand why anyone would agree this this restraint of trade by limiting the site to NZ only but with NZ Racing management I guess that just adds to the long list of idiotic decisions. With no free to Air TV, No radio, shutting down of the local TABs, you would have thought making a user friendly, available to everyone, website would have been the prime objective?? But no.

Ellerslie had a loyalty card a few years ago but wiped it. They recommended we become members (then shut the course for nearly a year). Now the choice is easy, pay an entrance fee, get through security, be roped off from most areas, pay exorbitant food and drink prices, be blasted by static/music, OR stay at home with Wi-Fi, fridge and couch. Tough call!

Neruda is right about some of the rides. Race 1 set the tone and it did not improve. After being closed for so long I thought the welcome mat would be out but we arrived at the door of the public lounge to find a “ Prvate Function - no entry” sign on the door. And half the front lawn fenced off too. I left by race 4 and next weeks private function will be staged in my lounge, with all facilities in operation.

Thanks PJ Commiserations Dark Horses, it was a tough day to be looking for winners. Even up until the end it could have swung either way. We all know what a roughie can do to a match. Captain Cubes is probably still sucking in the oxygen after holding his breathe for the last hour. Geoff
