Its official New Plymouth changed to Hawera due to deliberate track damage
-
I understand from a reliable source that it the victim of foul play some protesters have given it a spray with round up (or such spray)

The Tab had a bad day at the office yesterday
In the herbie Dyke Levante was listed as LIFT
At riccarton Camino Rocco was listed as Rocky Road
At Riccarton race 10 number 13 was listed as Tanks when it was actually Panza They did how ever change to Panza about 30 seconds before the jump.
With the amount spent on the TAB website in the last couple of years and the contract with developers to maintain the site surely we can expect better tha this.
How often does this go on ???

Well said Archer
Been to Avondale a few times even the night races once yes the grandstand is a problem but they do not need a huge grandstand anymore..
A perfect place for Shane Jones to sling a few million to build something modest and he will be able to say I have saved the racing industry millions because I think there will be a lot of water to run under the bridge with litigations etc etc before we see Avondale people happy

Omg, are they for real.
They have lost the plot completely
This will make an ideal climate for bookies in pubs just like the old days
40 years ago every pub had its resident bookmaker usually in the public bar (not many public bars around now) In those days if you got shut out because the bets had to be sold by the TAB 30mins before the race you could sneak into any public bar and find the bookie..It was a great system and produced many characters and stories of bookies being taken to the cleaners or being sprung bythe cops. They all had their lookouts but every body knew who they were and it was usually cash or if the bookie had access to a phone they used to take a phone bet etc etc .. I imagine the RIU unit they would be fully employed????
I agree with Turny Tom OMG.. AND.. they would have to get the website fixed first cos on my mobile phone I have been shut out more than once when trying to place a bet

My understanding is the cost for the Cambridge all weather track is around $13 million with the Provincial Growth Fund contributing $7 million towards that figure.
Well that's 1/2 the problem solved who is the Fairy Godmother who came up with the rest RITA???
-
I understand the AWT at Cambridge is underway and due for completion sometime in August
Can anyone enlighten me as to who is paying for it and how much is the budget
Is RITA funding it ???? and if so how much have they spent on it

This guy is amazing and movie was made 3/4 years ago
Don't know how he stands at the moment but work it out for yourself 4000 winners over 20 years is 200 winners a year!!!!!
Just checked Wiki he now ridden 4358 winners and most of them over jumps
Think he might have retired now a very wealthy man

TAB don't work on old site anymore and its too hard on the new site
Asked several times and the best they can come up with is you get a text about 30 mins before the race
You also have to enter it into your favourites which have to have had a start so a first upper don't work at all
Anyway the other way is go to Arion Pedigrees and register (its free) they have race tracker which is brilliant
You get an email when the fields are announced then another one on raceday then another one after race to let you know how it got on
Its Brilliant and free
Too hard for the mob we got running our outfit

A mate of mine went to the TAB with his passport!!!! (To verify his identity)
The local branch did not know anything about this stuff so they rang somebody and they were told you have to fill in the form
No forms at this branch so you will have to get one off the website!!!!
WHEN IS THIS OUTFIT GOING TO WAKE UP????
