Plus they have another meeting 14 days after then another 13 days later , meanwhile Otaki , Waverley and Woodville are sitting idle . 
Wanganui the same , has 2 more meetings inside the next 4 weeks . Both these tracks will be rooted within a month .
I just don't get the logic at all , OK this decision was made with Covid in mind but things have changed quicker than expected . So why the can't they be pro active and show they can think on their feet . Brain dead if they don't .
I'm sure other districts are the same , show some positive leadership and utilize other tracks .

I think it's indicative of the races,  no one really has a clue about the form and the fields in these races that was pretty clear looking at a few results yesterday. If you can't line up the form and it's even worse than normal winter, that's what you can expect. 
Perhaps getting back to some structure may help next month or whenever it happens. 

Sounds like they are saying a review of the meeting ?

Smoke n mirrors?

Shame the trackside radio has gone as I’d have had the blue tooth headphones on all day while working . Would of put a few bets on , listened to trainer interviews tips etc .Listening to wall to wall simulcast racing doesn’t work unfortunately . Anyway hope all oncourse and those racing had a great day .

Nothing I've seen in the last ten years to suggest there has ever been a 'marketing team.'

Yes. You get a rebate (5% of your losses) and given you think you will train more winners than Pitman in July I imagine you will have plenty of those.

I’d call that robbing the milk money 

From what I have seen they aren't capable to doing either, some of the most awkward/pointless interviews conducted in sport.

Agree I spent the arvo in the local and bet half as much as I would of if I’d have had my BestBets / Race form in front of me .Was plenty of comments from diehard racing followers who went to turn on Trackside radio yesterday morning and we greeted with silence .Many have followed racing for decades but not the finer points and weren’t aware of all the cost cutting measures that have taken place recently.

Well that was absolutely pathetic!  No Radio coverage or build up on a Saturday morning , no interviews with trainers or jockeys , no oncourse presenters .no after race excitement. Can it get any Farking worse ?

Whats the marketing arm of Loveracing doing to increase interest and turnover ?

Possibly planet reality. Why do you think those electronic books have never taken off? Its because, for many, it's far more relaxing turning pages in a book and writing notes all over the paper with a Biro.

Each to their own Barry.  You seem to forget a lot of people don't like looking at their phone all day.
No doubt you don't support having the racing on TV either.

What budget do they have to work with?
They were active on Instagram from what I saw which is a start.
Get used  to this Puha, this is the new norm for racing, Kiwis are just not interested in boring slow gambling.
Lacking bookmakers, zero atmosphere & independent marketing, combined with Hobnobs & Wankers shunning new participants for yrs.
Look at club memberships, they are stagnant, tells a story in itself. Grey suited over 65s white males totally dominate, hardly the demographic known for outside the box thinking.
A sad reality of a sunset industry with a very limited lifespan in incredibly difficult times.

Best you read the conditions instead of flying off the handle . 

Will have a big influence on my betting that’s for sure. No radio shows , interviews and raceform will see my betting grind to a halt apart from betting on my own horses .

That is correct. It's their $30 you used for your bet, so you just get the profits which actually cost you nothing to get. 

So why is the GM who promoted the new betting platform to the ex CEO and Board still there?
