Thanks jase

Thanks Rees. I have not made a decision and won't until January. I am working on a major start-up project which if it happens may give me more time to keep the comps going. It is big and small at the same time although I know that makes no sense ! It will be big news if it happens. I will keep everyone posted.
I enjoy the comps and if they continue may look for some feedback to improve them. I think the draft idea worked well 

Jase R10 Mlb $20 win White Moss

Yes very definitely thanks

Jase R10 Mlb $20 win White Moss

Ohoka Dave has been labelling it for us for weeks - Thanks Dave got the chocolates too - very happy as got a punting pool for cup week

What he meant by that was, "Connections don't need the money but we would like to see Winx add 3 or 4 quick Group 1 wins to her record. So we are thinking of sending her to NZ to pick up the Railway, Telegraph, and any other G1's on the circuit over Xmas/New Year. She could get ready by winning the Waikato Sprint, the Te Aroha Breeders etc. Oh, and the Zabeel (is it still G1?). Now she's ready for the Sydney Autumn Carnival after her "NZ holiday".

Well going by this, it appears that NZTR are expecting the taxpayer to fix everything and the government to do and pay for their and NZRB's jobs.
 
MEDIA RELEASE
3 November, 2017
NZTR CHAIRMAN OUTLINES KEY THOROUGHBRED ISSUES
New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing (NZTR) has identified six key points to discuss with the new
Government.
In his address to the NZTR Annual General Meeting on Thursday, Board chairman Dr Alan Jackson
outlined the major racing issues which needed to be addressed over the next three years.
NZTR will ask that the Government:
 Finalise and enact the Racefields legislation in a manner which ensures NZTR can charge
commercially competitive fees, to encourage overseas operators to offer betting on New
Zealand racing.
 Support NZTR to modernise key racetrack infrastructure, to deliver a sustainable programme
for thoroughbred racing.
 Consider reinvesting totalisator and gaming duty into transformational projects such as
infrastructure and racing showcases.
 Ensure that the operations and costs of the NZ Racing Board (NZRB), and its business model,
are at scale and internationally competitive in a global wagering world.
 Provide financial and regulatory support for a key racing showcase between November and
February that creates tourism through a racing carnival that will focus on increasing
participation in wagering and customer activity from Australia and Asia.
 Review and update the structure of the Racing Act, to clarify the accountability, roles and
responsibilities and performance expectations between the New Zealand Racing Board and
the codes.
“We are looking forward to meeting with the new Minister for Racing, the Rt Hon Winston Peters,
who has proved very supportive of the industry in the past, to discuss the thoroughbred code’s
needs,” Jackson said.
NZTR had welcomed the introduction of the Racefields legislation, which had passed the first
reading, but considered that adjustments were needed. “The proposals need further work to deliver
a package that allows the thoroughbred code to establish a competitive and appropriate fee in
Australia,” Jackson said.
Discussions with Australian racing authorities and corporate bookmakers had indicated that there
was little leakage from New Zealand punters but that there were significant opportunities to raise
the level of Australian betting on the NZ product.
“The original proposals are not competitive, given point of consumption tax expectations in Australia
and New Zealand and the fact that the corporates now pay GST on digital transactions to New
Zealand.”
However, there was an acceptance by the corporate bookmakers of the need to pay when the
legislation was in place and NZTR was in discussions with publishers and racing websites to increase
direct exposure for the NZ thoroughbred product in Australia, in anticipation of the Racefields
legislation being passed.
NZTR, the other racing codes and the NZRB maintained the aim of achieving income flows from the
Racefields legislation in the current racing year and were working together to achieve this outcome.
Jackson also referred in his address to NZTR’s reservations over the direction of the current NZRB
business plan and its focus on “optimising New Zealand.”
“NZTR has regularly promoted to the NZRB the need to secure cost efficiencies and links with a
global wagering operator rather than try to optimise New Zealand.”
Multiple pieces of work, which NZTR had been involved with or undertaken, had shown that an
outsourcing arrangement would provide significant financial gains. “We are not promoting a sale,
but a commercial outsourcing arrangement to achieve these goals,” Jackson said.
A Deloitte report, which had analysed margins, wagering growth, totalisator loss sensitivities and the
value of potential synergies from outsourcing, had indicated that there were substantial potential
gains for the NZ industry.
The report estimated that several hundred million dollars of additional revenue could be returned to
the total industry, over the next four years, by following an outsourcing approach versus insourcing
and developing the fixed odds platform. These figures were also consistent with previous estimates
by external parties.
“The difference in our views versus NZRB is fundamentally in these areas,” Jackson said. “NZRB and
NZTR disagree on the level of the outcomes likely to be achieved and the risks involved. However,
NZTR can consult but we cannot decide and the NZRB is pursuing the strategic initiatives outlined in
the SOI.”
But there had been recent changes in the wagering landscape and, as a result of Australian gaming
legislation, the NZRB was no longer permitted to take bets from Australia. “This has the potential to
have a significant impact on the accessible market for New Zealand and limit exposure to the $30bn
Australian wagering market,” Jackson said.
“NZTR therefore is continuing to push hard on the need to urgently initiate discussions with possible
Australian wagering partners, focusing upon parimutuel opportunities as a minimum.
“But no matter what strategy is pursued, a modern and competitive totalisator will be essential and
provides a safety net to the industry.
 

Indeed. No sign of NZRB involvement in this initiative?

Yes please

As I said, a protected species. He's now appealing !! If you watch the replays in slow mo, he makes Gary W look like an Angel.

I thought it was a great ride. It is suicide to sit on the fence at MV. He was on the best horse, and he was not going to leave it to chance. Humidor and the rest of the field could afford to take their chances by conserving energy staying on the fence as they were not going for 3 on end. I thought Hugh Bowman gave her the best chance by trading ground for safety, knowing he had the horse power under him. How many hard luck stories come out of MV sitting 1 back on the fence.

I thoroughly disagree, having attended 19 Cox Plate days at MV, in both private dining areas or general public. I've seen the best win it. One of the most memorable experiences was standing in the Public area in front of the stands, with the masses, watching Black Caviar win the Sprint on the card. It was the year Pinker Pinker got a miracle run to beat the kiwi horse in the CP. ( Jimmy Chou?). If you are serious, then you should take Ohakason's advice and go to Trentham on Whyte's Hcp day and stand out the front of the public stand. You'll have it all to your little self. If you want something different, then pay the money and go upstairs and dine and watch races whilst being waitered on. Your choice.
