    Thats odd I've only heard push back from the usual crowd in racing, most participants seem to like it.

    The actual starters fee itself is one of the better ideas in racing. Complaining about a whole $400-800 in prizemoney (before deductions & yes I realise about Saturday racing figs) leaves me with little wonder why racing is in the state it is in NZ.

    Paying down to last is pretty much a copy  of our current governments Mantra

    Point being Ted the jumpout results are meant to be lodged with NZTR and they aren’t .That way they are all in one spot and eazy for punters to access .

    I was at Awapuni racecourse this morning and thank Christ I didn’t have my tamariki with me!

     

    I overheard an elderly man (who was wearing a tab trackside t shirt and who I have seen on cameras before), say something to his friend or coworker about the whanau ora plan and how “are we the right colour for free healthcare?”  The younger man who was with him appeared disgusted at the older mans comment and suffice it to say I am absolutely horrified and disgusted. It was pink shirt day yesterday and not only that, racism is something that has no place in Aotearoa let alone somewhere where I often take my whanau as a fun day out. 
     

    I have made a complaint and the woman I spoke to was disgusted in this mans comments. 
     

    whanau, if you are around awapuni racecourse and see a man wearing very short shorts with a cap and glasses, a tab or trackside tshirt and who has a moustache, that’s him.
     

    im disgusted.  

    Funny how you call him racist because he’s discussing his views about the hidden agenda. I’d call the plan racist and it’s dividing the country . Everyone’s entitled to an opinion unless this is a communist country .

  4. Can someone please explain how the topweight in the Open handicap Wellington Cup is 57 kg? With a 53 kg minimum only a 4 kg spread - as below from handicapping policy .

    6.2 Minimum Top Weights (including stayers Group and Listed top weights)
    The top weight allocated in a Handicap flat race, at the time of weight declaration, shall not be less than:
    • 60.0kg in all Handicap races Group 3 and below, that are run at a distance up to and including 2199 metres.
    • 59.0kg in Group 3 and Listed races that are run at a distance of 2200 metres or further, for horse rated up to and including 97. Those rated 98 will receive 59.5kg and those rated 99 to 103 will receive 60kg. Horses rated above 103 will receive 0.5kg per rating point on top of the 60kg.
    • 59.0kg in Group 1 and Group 2 Handicap races.

    I was referring to bars etc. Had the same thing a few years back at Riccarton , club said close even though plenty of us wanted to have a punt in Ozzie

     

    I’ve been to Hastings many times and the bar staff have been told to stay open till 40 mins till after the last but the bar staff take no notice and shut up shop .Worst case I had was at Wanganui  and they shut the bar on two occasions 30 mins prior to the last .Remember someone from club commented on here that he was dismayed it was happening and start he’d sort it out . Clubs need to let bar staff know what’s expected .

    Hi Puha , how are you guys going , i see you are still racing the odd one . You were a bit down a few months ago when Waipuk got the chop . Did you retrench your numbers . Hope you guys stick with it , racing can't afford for people like yourselves leaving the industry .

    Going good mate . Have syndicated 3 horses last few months and introduced 10 new owners .Tracks going great with the new starting gates so regular jumpouts are held. Ironically with losing our race meetings for now it’s become a great training facility worth being able to use course proper .

    As you say - its the clubs that close things down ,not the TAB

    I don’t think it was on New Year’s Day .Whoever it was the decision was terrible .Races were all over within a few hours then Zilch .

    Wouldn't that have more to do with the club than the TAB?

    Bars maybe but it’s the TAB that decided to close down all the betting facilities and turn off the big screen .The club would of been peeved I would say.Why the club and TAB couldn’t organise to keep everything functional till the last in Auckland is beyond me .

  9. The TAB don’t help themselves at times . New Year’s Day at Hastings their was a very healthy crowd considering it was a 6 race card . Like many I expected the TAB and big screen to stay operational so we could carry on betting and watching the Ellerslie races unfold . But no the TAB couldn’t close everything down fast enough which also included the bar staff . You had a captive audience on track and they were treated like crap . Another missed opportunity and many left pissed off .

    This is how little they care , happy to have their leadership and lack of vision criticised , but then promote it , but then on their own website , which they control . FMD you can't make it up how clueless these dumbf@#cks are . It's like Labour handing out National promotional material saying what a crap job labour is doing , at their own election launch last Sat .

    Don’t go on the Loveracing FB page and question some of the average content .You will get a private message saying you are on your final warning and next time your gone . Did myself a favour and deleted them .
