  1. Brian, well done on keeping the TABs feet to the fire.

    Some in this thread have referred to an ingredient in the demise of the TAB being Mr Allen and his NZ Post cronies but I believe almost a decade ago it was a cluster of ex BNZ execs who’s performance could be questioned. How long did they stay. How many million were paid in salaries and what did they deliver? Mr Bayliss left under rather hurried circumstances. PArt of his legacy was the appointment of two former BNZ colleagues.

    it just goes on and on ….

    Associated with this, I recently attended one of the early NZTR roadshow meetings where Bruce Sharrock spoke of his vision for improving thoroughbred racings future. I thought he did a good job to front up. During his presentation it was apparent (in my view) that the relationship between the TAB and NZTR is in poor shape at present with a lack of trust between the two organisations. Then today, as an acc holder, I get an email from Mike Tod crowing about how much dosh the TAB is returning to NZ Sport. I really feel like Racing has lost its identity within the TAB - they don’t care and, dare I say, see our industry as no more than a shrinking part of their revenue stream. They would rather suitor sports punters. Whereas once the TAB was racing, now racing is steadily losing its mana within that organisation (IMO)
     

    Some significant funding challenges ahead!

    Where does this announcement leave industry personnel who are unvaccinated?

    Won’t be on course by the look of it.

    Looking for a new job?

    So back to the question. If I’m a trainer or jockey can I attend race days?

    If I ride track work can I be on a racecourse to do the job I love?

    Industry has invested in my training and development. If I choose not to be vaccinated is that investment flushed because I’m effectively blacklisted.

    and given racing is primarily an outdoor setting does that not make these career limiting Restrictions OTT?

    Makes you wonder how much of the odds management is manual or system generated. Yes lots of delayed changes close to market close.

    The other thing that’s not yet sorted is the Top 2/3/4 market. For some reason the div to run 2nd is less than to run 3rd.

    ie $6 2nd ,$8 3rd, $5 4th

    Case in point, horses 15 & 20. Top 2 and top 3 FF divs nonsensical. Regular occurrence for those horses long in the market.
