    I don’t think the track was a disgrace but the tracks presented yesterday and during the Cup Meeting have not been as good as previously

     

    Could that be due to irrigation And the fact they raced an ordinary meeting the week prior to the big day - same as Cup Day an iconic meeting and a track that had been raced on the 2 previous Saturdays?

    Surely you have your biggest days on the best track and then a lesser meeting on a track already raced on not the other way around.

    The big red bar!!

    That is exactly the one!

    What is the difference between the NZ TAB and a Lada car?

    At least you can push a Lada to keep it moving!

    Dean McKenzie - do not go on TV adverts asking punters to use the NZ TAB when it is not fit for purpose.

    It's quite clear from the prizemoney policy von.

    When a race has a starting limit of 14 or more, but there are fewer than 14 runners, the prizemoney for the placings not filled is retained by NZTR.  This prizemoney saved has, thus far, been used to help fund over 50 races which have been added to the schedule, as well as the cost of two additional race meetings.

     

    Thanks for that and Happy New Year to you.

    I guess this means that the $10,000 races at Omoto are not actually run for $10,000 - so are they running for less than the minimum stake?

  4. NZTR need to get their house in order! 

    I mean advertising a 13th and 14th stake for races with a start limit of 12 is not a good look! ( West coast races)

    Now here is an interesting question for you -

    if a $10,000 race only has 5 starters - what happens to the $1800 that is not earned by finishers? Is it divided between those 5 or is it kept in the coffers? If not divided between the finishers that means the race is only for a stake of $8,200 not the advertised $10,000

    Therein lies the problem. No problem with the contract between NZB and the buyer but why on earth would NZTR contract with NZB to commit that level of industry funds to an NZB promotion involving restricted race events?

    Leggy - do you know how a 'glove puppet' works?

    PforP has had the guts to take on the establishment.  Good on him.  But spare a thought for me.  I am one of those people who would love to be in court to watch this greatest show on earth; but I am not allowed to enter Jafaville in the lockdown circus.  

    Bugger!

    And the after match function with silver from Cascade River; phuck the cost; I want to enjoy life to the max because with my indolent and depraved life style I am unlikely to be around in 20 years.

    Pee4 - I am like Mr. Notts, we can't get past Mr. Plod and Sergeant Stedanko at the border. Will the aftermatch be televised?

    the first horse Mrs. vS rode trackwork was Deino's Rulers sister - stable name Pebbles and race name maybe Rich Ruler. That was a few haircuts ago.

    The people on the TV seem to promote horses for people to back and that seems to make those horses short priced

    The people on TV seem very biased towards certain donkeys

    The people on TV sometimes get it write and sometimes they don't
