Yep only exist for that day.

Yep for sure, reminds me of that bobby calf place in Te Kauwhata that got done for animal abuse, no different here, the workers guilty of the behaviour should end up before the courts as should the owner for ignoring the goings on, ignorance is the same as condoning.

In the Herald today https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=12277707

what part of it doesn't work for you?. Probably need to look a smidge closer to home, like you own PC. There is nothing wrong with the results page. I only this week had a mate whom told me he couldn't get the races to play video because the site was shit and his internet speed was too slow, went to his house, cleaned up all the crap off his laptop & did a speed test for all to be fine. Video didn't play because he didn't play because he didn't have flash player installed, simple fix and now works fine.

Its you, works perfectly fine, everything is there.

Large fields today with the prospect of a number of owners attending, but plenty more owners sitting at home watching on TV instead. What incentive is there for an owner to attend other than the joy of watching there horse perform & a drink afterwards with a bit of cheese. How about incentivising owners to attend on Saturdays with an on course only boost of say 15% on fixed odds on their runner up to say $500.

I can tell you the Rugby wasn't exactly an entertainment extravaganza either.

I went to the AB v Tonga game last Sat, cost shitloads to get in and $9 beers, food expensive and poor quality. For a couple attending with 2 kids there wouldn’t be any change out of $400 for most. Compare that to $40 entry to the races, a full days entertainment and a chance to leave with more in your pocket than you arrived with, it all comes down to how it’s marketed.

There are a few options for you, but you will need to pay for it. You need a VPN setup which makes it look as though you are in NZ, basically you are renting a space on a computer based in NZ. I know plenty in Aus who do the below. https://www.ransomit.com.au/new-zealand-vps/ Takes a bit of time to set up, & there is a 600GB limit per month for the AUD$12 month cost. But firstly you need to find a friendly mate here whom will open a NZTAB account for you and deposit $10 so you can access the vision. Really depends on how serious you are I guess.

2 big priced place getters tipped on top, unlucky.

Never easy gruff, but would much rather be on a big money chance in 2 lotto type races like those 2 and take my chances, than backing short priced back markers in races with not much likely tempo.

Race 2 #8 Cast In Bronze, #2 Interllectus Great overs, both race handy in a moderate tempo race, Magdala & Maestro Blu will have to run from near last to win. Race 6 #8 Centre Attention & #4 Call Doubt running 1&2 in a slow tempo race, probably only #3 Alvins Dream will be handy enough to get over the top of them.

.

Exactly right, try getting a few into a ownership syndicate, bloody near impossible now.

When do you even need to know them Tom? I am guessing it’s when you fill out a manual ticket in the TAB, otherwise never? Dont you just use the phone app or website? Why would anyone need to go into a TAB today other than possibly the elderly?.
