Why can't I have the opportunity to vote for whom is in charge? After all its my $ that pays your salaries

Can they not just sell their own shares? 70% would still be more than a controlling share.

I'm in, this is total BS! NZRB you are not professionals, this is just embarrassing!

I would rather watch the race on mute than listen to their awful commentary.

Excellent article, good on whoever wrote it.

Publish it NZTR Stop wasting my money!

with the amount of rain the east coast of SI has had in last couple days I can't see how it could be a dead4 to begin with

Yep I agree well said. Nztr stop wasting our money!

I'm in, we've got to do something before we have no industry left. Power in numbers people!

What the hell happened to wingatui today? I forgot to record it

Woohoo go the kiwis, love it! Pogo I hope you gambled responsibly today

At the point when it becomes unsafe for the users and it wrecks the surface for the rest of the carnival

Haha pogo kiwis kicked aussie arse today

Also NZTR board have unanimously voted to take a pay cut of 75% and put all the $ into racing stakes

Stay stong my friend, my heart goes out to you guys xx

Me 2, I would like to know this as well pls. Hear this person talked about all the time, have no idea who or what you are refering

well done the blackcaps it was an awesome effort. I love NZ for their enthusiasm Sunday is going to be huge! I hate to say it but as a parent I was so stoked when my son decided to give up cricket. I have spent many many Saturday afternoon's on the sideline bored out of my mind and pissed off because of the races I was missing

Duncan I concede in that field he did deserve to be favorite, I was more talking about the fact that from his first start Roger has had large amounts of $ placed on him. He peaked my interest in his first start when 1 of the presenters said 10k had been placed on him to win, and again on Saturday. Iv watched him waiting to see if hes as good as somebody obviously thinks he is. So far hes gone out paying nothing and not delivered. I find it dumb when people give the tab their $ even when the return is ridiculously small in relation to the risk. Then on top of that it seems like a lot of people blame the jockey when the tab gets to keep the lot.

It was only Rogers 3rd start, its still learning. It missed the jump the jockey did the right thing, it was running on and actually finished quite well. It learned a hell of a lot more than if it had had its ears scrubbed off early and then nothing left for the finish. don't blame the jockey if you are dumb enough to bet on a horse that is such a short priced fav for no apparent reason! Clearly someone thinks its got ability, it just going to take awhile for it to learn. Leave the bloody jockey alone He didn't butcher that ride!

It depends on a whole lot of different things, the experience of the jockey, experience of jockey on a particular track, whether they ride the horse in its work or have ridden it on race day before, environmental conditions on the day. For me i always try to get the same jockey to ride the same horse so they get to know eachother. If that isnt an option, if I have engaged an experienced jockey I try to let them know anything relevant about the horse, eg in track work it loves to have its head in front or its really lazy if allowed to be, I have to trust that they know what they are doing and will try their hardest. An inexperienced jockey will get more specific instructions. But at the end of the day sometimes people and horses have a bad day and no matter how good a job has been done leading up to the race it goes to custard when the gates open!

Cheating wankers

Of course they are happy they make 6 figures

Yep they get fatter and fatter off a product that we give our blood sweat and tears to produce. In return we are scratching around fighting amongst ourselves for the scraps! When our beloved industry falls over they won't care, they will just move on to something else and bleed it until its dry

Well NZRB, NZTR, TAB etc love to collate things into graphs, percentages and tables so this is just speaking their language.

Horses 1- love my horses and everything about them frustration - 5 financial - 5 not sure how much longer we can hang in there! TAB - 5 why is it that clubs have to pay the tab on race day? Why the f### arnt they paying us? We are the 1s providing them with the product they make $ off? Racing admin - 5 Soooo Disappointed! I just want the opportunity to choose who makes decisions on my behalf!
