Big kiwi connection today at Wyong R2

WHY the silence from the board. If it was a listed company they would be required to make a statement and if they expect or can see benefits starting to accrue from the new platform why can't they say so.

No reports from Westport yet. Anyone out there attend.

Couldn't agree more.

I see in Bernard's blog on NZTR he reports on the Hawkes Bay conversation highlighting the move to digital with the reduction in on course and phonebetting as a % of the total. No mention what the overall trends are and the impact of the FOB platform generally. Phonebet has gone from 8.9 % 3.4 % . On course from 2.8 % to 1.8 % Floating these sort of stats around in isolation is dangerous. Surely a proper analysis of the total trends and impacts of the new platform and phonebet systems would be more helpful.

Westport 12May 5.00 - 6.30pm Riccarton 22 May 12noon - 1.30pm Wingatui 22 May 6.30 - 8pm ARC 30 May 3.00 - 4.30pm Te Rapa 31 May 10.30am - 12 noon Other dates may be added

Has anyone been or going to these meetings. First one 8 May 19. Be interested to hear his views.

AT THE KARAKA SALES ???? Winston is opening the May mixed.

Results now hopeless. Seem to have taken a direct feed off the open bet site where the layout is spread out over several pages for each race and then repeats all starters. Even the TAB site has gone back to a better display in its results section.

Lollipop or Mr Sandman

Needs a change to the legislation. Was mooted for next lot of changes a couple of years ago but seems to have dropped of the list. The new platform was meant to be capable of taking a number of non sporting events. Might be still with the DIA.

Nothing lost
