How can that be a bad thing ? Just out of curiosity, do they involve women in their group ? Spot on, I had a beer and walk around the sales yesterday with Luke who set the group up. He really has a passion to try new things to get people involved in the industry, his brain constantly going thinking what he can do next. And yep there are women involved, I guess the name of the group come from what was just initially a few mates who liked a punt and had a page to discus the punt.

chelseacol 2,488 Report post Posted May 7, 2018 They should have a standing invite to every race meeting in the country with a promise of cheaper beer and a warm welcome - even if its just a handful who can make some of them. Passionate and getting a younger crowd thinking about racing on a daily basis with their FB page etc etc etc. Revolutionary outside a few Cup Days etc around the country John Allen made a point of mentioning them recently and has met with Luke .... in terms of what the follow up or ongoing initiative is I'm not sure - but if I was a club or administartor at any of the codes I'd be doing my damnedest to engage Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGP can do their thing but John Allen gets paid megabucks for running NZ Racing board/TAB not Ladbrokes Yes I've seen the Ladbrokes references on BGP. I don't think that stops Allen or anyone else being associated with this group. His job surely is to make sure the NZ TAB is getting something out of them - they get on course - race horses and bet as much as possible in NZ. And to get ideas how to expand on what this group is doing and engage with a generation who currently don't think about racing as an option ?

puha 2,177 Report post Posted May 8, 2018 Hopefully with all the success and media coverage the BGP group are getting at present they are smart enough to not be sucked in by the industries vultures . Even our TED is worshipped by the group. They are a breathe of fresh air . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseacol 2,488 Report post Posted May 8, 2018 Good offer that. I might join the group myself and get on trackside - there are a few things I fancied on the HQ menu which I haven't tried yet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
