Too much emphasis on the 'quick buck' Magic Millions - no incentive to target anything longer term as the accumulative fees to get there far outweigh any possible return.

Nothing good enough here to make the field, let alone pick up a thick end of the stake... A distant memory of days gone by sadly

Good to hear Leigh - I missed the timing of it

Jonas Vingegaard @ $3 is not bad value in the Tour de France if you want a bet you can follow for 21 days Tadej's an animal and might dominate, but Jonas was amazing last year considering his prep and should be better placed to challenge this year. For those that might be interested, Unchained on Netflix is a great watch

Happy Birthday Leigh - hope you enjoy it thoroughly in whatever way you choose!

Here's a thought coming out of previous posts. Might it have been a good idea to create a Duopoly, allowing Betfair,365, Entain or whoever, to operate in a Geoblocked environment alongside the TAB? Both operators would need to contribute the same % back into NZ racing. Granted the market is small, but allowing for the increases stated, I'm sure there would be enough meat on the bone to allow 2 companies to compete and attract the punters to their respective offerings... Maybe too logical ?

Sad but true nomates... Week after week those in charge manage to create negative vibes - eventually they will destroy it

A half decent lawyer could pull their pants down I believe.

I've had a look through National Party & NZ First websites and struggling to find any mention of this critical industry, "what I'm trying to fix up" I think we all agree the 'fix up' is required, but is the strategy / recovery plan limited to banning Greyhound Racing and Rubber stamping an agreement that he was hugely skeptical about? Given the urgency, does anyone here actually have knowledge or access to some kind of master plan? 18 months into the role and ?

I didn't mind it - and it is pretty useful in harness racing watching them go off the mobile. The concept is actually decent for getting us up closer and personal, but I think we may have had a lower end presentation of what could be delivered.... eg,.. https://www.google.com/search?q=drone+horse+footage&sca_esv=9d16c235b1eb3eaa&rlz=1C1RXMK_enNZ1047NZ1047&udm=7&biw=1745&bih=859&sxsrf=AE3TifN9qmVnAZhdGeyiOUtj8ivO0mZn-A%3A1751365049691&ei=ubVjaIj9Kdeu0-kPl7vngAo&ved=0ahUKEwjIvaKdt5uOAxVX1zQHHZfdGaAQ4dUDCBA&uact=5&oq=drone+horse+footage&gs_lp=EhZnd3Mtd2l6LW1vZGVsZXNzLXZpZGVvIhNkcm9uZSBob3JzZSBmb290YWdlMgYQABgWGB4yBhAAGBYYHjIGEAAYFhgeMgsQABiABBiGAxiKBTILEAAYgAQYhgMYigUyCxAAGIAEGIYDGIoFMgUQABjvBTIFEAAY7wUyBRAAGO8FSJAsUABYuClwAHgAkAEAmAHyAaABiB6qAQYwLjguMTG4AQPIAQD4AQGYAhOgAs4ewgIEECMYJ8ICCxAAGIAEGJECGIoFwgIKEAAYgAQYQxiKBcICCxAAGIAEGLEDGIMBwgIOEAAYgAQYsQMYgwEYigXCAggQABiABBixA8ICBRAAGIAEwgIOEAAYgAQYkQIYsQMYigXCAg0QABiABBixAxgUGIcCwgIKEAAYgAQYFBiHAsICCBAAGIAEGKIEwgIIEAAYogQYiQWYAwCSBwYwLjYuMTOgB9ltsgcGMC42LjEzuAfOHsIHBjAuMTEuOMgHPA&sclient=gws-wiz-modeless-video#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:49399da9,vid:OGjykEwwL40,st:0 Sorry - it didn't paste as it usually does, but click the link to see a great example

Winny running at a rate of 4 I's per minute - not full speed for him, but up there... It's funny how he changed his tune so much from the Opposition view point, to something he inherited but is fixing for us We should be thankful for such an expert guiding us and thinking this is what 'fixes' the industry - FFS Unless anyone else can shed some light on other strategies from the right and honorable?
