I have read all of the above posts and given this matter considerable thought. Boys Get Paid must be welcomed to the course, any course. They should have their own area to boost the sense of camaraderie. I suggest that lounge at the top the public stand at Tauranga, Beecher's Brook lounge at Te Rapa and the top of the Ellerslie Stand. They are to get a rebate of 3.5% of all on-course turnover, in excess of $12,000 in THAT area on race day. The $12,000 threshold gets the club to recover its fixed expenses. The printouts from the TAB make the rebate calculation simple. Clubs hosting Boys Get Paid should keep their totes in those areas open, after the last race, until the demand for bets gets low. Once the Boys are phonged up on grog they will bet big. An eftpos machine handy could well pay for itself, because they will be seeking extra working capital at that time of the day. But do not charge them a fee to use the eftpos machine. That is the sort of thing that really irritates blokes with a few drinks on board. The 3.5% rebate will encourage the administrators of Boys Get Paid. The noise they created on Karaka night at Ellerslie was great. People who know they will spend a lot of time in a pine box so they must make the most of every moment on earth before they are interred.
I have seen the TAB printout for a day that Boys Get Paid were set loose. Total on course turnover was $118k. Boys Get Paid's lounge accounted for $71k of that sum. They do give it a lick along.
I will bore you with a story about a bloke who used to run Crown & Anchor nights for the local squash club's building fund. He instructed the croupiers that when a punter first came to the table they were to make a mistake in the change; give him three $5 notes for a tenner. Give him three $10 notes for a $20 note. It stuffed up the punters' brains and the squash club ended up getting the lot. Punters, like Boys Get Paid, are a weird lot, and they must be encouraged so that they have a whale of a lot of fun spending plenty. Easy bet sales people must all be female. They should wear low cut tops and display adequate cleavage. Flat chested sales people should wear a skirt that accentuates their lovely butt. Women with neither attribute should be operating the dishwashers, out the back. My comments may be considered cynical, but I have observed punters for more than half a century.

What a great opportunity for the Owners Federation to finally show its teeth. Time for the poor owners to get paid a starters incentive , by the clubs for providing product.
Owners Get Paid!
Owners Get Paid!
Owners Get Paid!
"Go the Poor down trodden Owners"
Surely we can get a Polo shirt out their and hang a flag up at Ellerslie and get looked after?
Just need someone to get off their arse and do it. , stop complaining about the people who have and make some noise themselves.
OGP Would be a great venture, but it does take a lot of time, patience, love for all not just their self, like most racing people do, care about themselves not the game..
not saying you are, just someone needs to do something and stop bagging the doers!!
Polos are a start tho

What planet are you on to think Luke Kemeys does it for free? Ellerslie charged him $50/ticket for Karaka day and he then charged the group $100/ticket. A nice clip of the ticket right there ...
Hahahahahahahaha ha ha

Plenty of people volunteer for their local clubs and give a lot more free time do they ask for % of the takings ?
No, they volunteer mate.
The boys that do this have been on committees, are owners and have worked at racecourses. Why do you want to drag something down you no nothing about?
oh thats right its the New Zealand racing way, if its different bag it.
they turned over $200k plus in their room alone, more than most courses do in a day, making the club 15k plus from their room alone
They could of done it through phones or overseas agencies, prob getting better options and prices!
Just let them be, if they make some money helping the industry and have started a foundation, let them.
maybe do some research before bagging them on a site full of people that love to moan.
Isn’t this a good thing? Bringing people, fun, money, new owners, new youth to a game thats deteriorating weekly?

8.5% for Industry Event days and above I think for Clubs.
I hope this isn't true ,but If you couldn't see this coming you haven't been watching very closely, this lot think they are special because they are young have a bet and make some noise they get treated better than the owners do at the races already, nip this in the bud quickly or it will get out of hand.
And what, racing dies in 5-10 years, no young people to carry it on, you lot need to grow up and see what good this is doing!
they do a bit more for racing than NZTR are at the moment, and for free

Clubs only receive 6 % of turnover I think so that’s a big ask from BGP although every club would like them oncourse . We all bet oncourse so will I get a cut of the % as well . May open a can of worms .
Nope, do you bring 300 people and 170000 dollars?
do you know how much work goes on behind the scenes before and after, all for free, and they have started a non profit foundation, whats anyone else in this fuked game doing?? Except sitting on their arse bagging every other person or idea out there??

Got to blame someone don't they , yet another example of why the industry heads into oblivion , so many screams for NZRB and NZTR to be restructured when the same thing should happen across the board at a lot of clubs who haven't done much for the progress of the industry.
Yeah you do, but a 30yr old, getting into this old mans game. He’s probably gone forever, and we need the young ones to carry us on!
I dont think you can blame what happened there soley on one person, when the tracks has been mis managed for years? Need to find out more I guess tho. Just a shame, he seemed like a keen young man.
Hebegebe, that board not tracking well you say? I dont think Ken wants to be there either?!

Who Brad or Ken?
Brad is gone, down to “restructuring”, inherited a track with bugger all maintenance done to it in the past 5+ years, old fozzy Foskett has been trying to get them to do deep renovation work on it for years. Now they have done it, track has played great last 4-5 meetings!
Ken should be gone, look at the turnover of staff in the last 4-5 years, 3 cater crews, now 3 track managers, that only what I know, apparently office staff is worse!!
Te rapa legends??
