  1. The Racing Act change is all great but the core fundamental issue is still not being addressed - leakage. All the Racing Act changes will do is clip the ticket for the leakage to overseas Bookies essentially. Investment or further investment needs to be put in to return, retain and gain customers - by that I mean all customers. I understand the new betting engine will help assist with this in some capacity but that alone will not be enough.
  2. I think you'll find a very prominent Race Cafe personality was runner up to Bill Birnie's in his appointment.
  3. SNR you raise very valid points and I believe what the RIU & Mike are "trying" to do is put integrity first within the industry. I'm not saying the RIU & Mike are going about it the right way but there is a very fine line between integrity & the cost of up holding integrity. Unfortunately, I believe as part of up holding integrity it is good to rotate stipes around different race meetings "every now and then". I guess I'd liken it to rugby where you don't get the same referee each week but you might get the same referee 3 or 4 time during the season. The reason they do that is for integrity. I see no reason a part from cost as why the RIU shouldn't adopt this methodology and adapt it to work within the industry. As an owner, breeder, punter & long standing sponsor I certainly want the RIU to be up holding integrity within the industry & the RIU themselves as much as they can to fit the budget. However there is clear evidence that you, Chelseacol and others have pointed out of rediculous spending by the RIU. Enjoy your post SNR.
  4. The reason TAB.COM.AU is promoted through Sky Racing is because TABCORP owns both brands. Trackside regular take the Sky Racing feed and obviously have no say in what the Sky Racing presents say. It would be no different if Trackside promoted the NZ TAB which they do a terrible job of I believe. Then there could be the argument what is there to promote from the NZ TAB.....
  5. You are correct and I believe they generally copy tab.com.au for the Aussie fixed markets. It's ridiculous that the NZ TAB can't frame NZ markets for all codes days in advance of a Raceday no matter if it's a low key or premier Raceday. It's a bit of a kick in the guts to NZ Racing Industry when the NZ TAB releases Aussie Racing markets before our very own.
  6. Clearly Cubes doesn't want to rub it in but #7 & #8 went for $475 each which has now earned me a life membership with Mahua on Cup Day aye Cubes.... Thanks Col, I was looking forward to collecting my $475 refund tomorrow Foaming was on fire! Great afternoon/evening.
  7. Well done on taking out the Calcutta Cubes it was a pleasure to be the under bidded on HF and go on to prop up the pool for you by purchasing below average runners on Saturday at premium prices. Do I get a refund for SDTT being scratched? Now I believe negotiations began on Friday evening about Hutch being an ambassador for Mahua on Cup Day... Did I tell you how much I love that bird when it's folded up in my pocket or hanging out of my wallet. I also believe ole mates Chelseacol & Foaming may have come in with a counter offer later that night. You must remember their offer wasn't about the birds Cubes where Hutch is all about promoting birds on Cup Day. I've already presold 5 tickets and remember Cubes the birds benefit from this!
