  1. I agree with all of the above.

    Possibly they were employed because they came cheap? If so, false economy.

    Some of the presenters who do have racing knowledge and enthusiasm need to have ongoing training in presentation skills, so they learn to stop rabbiting on and repeating themselves [eg Brendan Prattlewell].

  2. Well done to those involved in the work leading up to the big move forward today. Was a pleasing surprise to see everything hanging together on both channels, with new graphics, stipes eye views, etc, on the new Trackside.

    This would not be Racecafe without quibblers and whingers about minor issues, but the big picture is clear - this is a big advance for the industry.

  3. In this age of computers, wireless broadband, etc, what is a reasonable period after the last race at a big meeting for NZTR to have posted the stipes report on the NZTR website?

    An hour? Two hours? ...

    4 hours after the last race at Pukekohe the report is yet to be posted on the NZTR site. The report from Hastings was up in less than 2 hours; those from the central districts are consistently much quicker appearing than in the north.
