Ha invite international interest our biggest neighbour can't bet into it. I give you a tip the betting platform is a %$#^en disaster and if you don't think it is I can sell you a 2nd hand bridge from London. Intended to take NZ gambling to the world it can't even take gambling to its own local customers. The only place you would take it is to a flea market which is apt as its a bloody dog.

Our neighbour might bet into NZ not but that will change , our super star PM  might have to do a little grovelling to Scotty but change will happen .  

As for the target market , sure the locals are hesitant but that's exactly what happened when internationalisation , co mingling happened all those years ago , ultimately , financially it was the correct decision , this will be no different , at the rate our age group is departing doing nothing will leave nothing , something must be tried .  The world is a very big place , opportunity is everywhere .

As for Winston , that's easy , '''  how thick can someone be their approach and direction was initiated by the Racing Minister who had no confidence in the approach and direction of the path the NZRB was taking with you as the CEO acting on behalf of the Racing Industry.''''  This surly is a joke  , look at what's happened , Racefields deliberately delayed by Winston so making sure the RBs finance  strategy was undermined , racefields delayed for 18 months which has cost the industry at least $18 million (RB estimates ) . The point is the timing of the reinstatement of race fields is about Winston's re election not racing welfare .

Yeahh right. The $18m is a figment of someone's imagination and always has been as the Treasury and DIA among others have pointed out. There is no data to support it other than some shonky ANZ credit card data which is conflated with data from sports betting, lotteries and online casinos. Even then, IRD GST data would suggest that figure should be closer to $5-6m BEFORE collection costs, with racing's share a small part of that. The RB may have got the decimal point in the wrong place. $1.8m would be optimistic I'd say.

It certainly can’t take racing to the world....it can’t even take betting to its NZ customers as it hasn’t been working tonight, right through Ascot. 

Next, it go down and not come back (like tonight) on Melbourne Cup day. 

The odds? 9/10 on I say.

30 years ago Lotto approached the TAB and asked if they would be interested in selling their gambling product in TAB outlets. The Board turned them away '' , What's that got to do with racings boards of recent times ,

Hello read between the lines 30 years ago the Senior management & the TAB Board were clueless and today as the debacle of the betting platform has proven they still clueless. Some things never change, do you get it now?

We simply don't know if it's a f/up , time will tell , sure a bunch of rapidly aging racing supporters who don't like change but if they are the only hope racing has the racing is truly Doomed , again only time will tell .

  You don't know its a $%#^ up? Where do you live under a $%^&en rock? You think only aging racing supporters don't like the new change you need to wake up speak to the average Joe punter in the street.

As for saying give it time thats one thing the Industry can't afford to do. 3 years time we were told it will pay for itself someone timed that well try 30 years.

You should have applied for a job at the NZRB you think the same way unfortunately after July 1 with your thinking you will be no hope of getting a job there. 

"Give it time" you sound like my old trainer who said that about a 3 year old he trained for me, 3 years later no win and thousands wasted on training bills.

By far the majority of racings  joe punter are OLD , fact .

As for your old trainer he succeeded didn't he , kept you going and you were happy to pay , well done , racing needs you , keep it up .

It's unknown how successful this strategy will be , Winston's political decision to delay and then implement racefields has undermined the plan but judgement day will eventually arrive .

As for the design of the crappy tab site , it's not crappy to  international punters , it's what they are used to and that's the target marked , if we were relying on NZ support we might as well close up today .

Well the first step I would be taking is cleaning the NZRB marketing Board out they have obviously failed to attract a younger target audience. No surprise given the crap adverts they have done over the years. Fact John Allen said the new betting platform would  double their customer numbers, result customers have left in droves. Ha so the NZRB targeted overseas not their local customers yes that makes sense where do you think the lost customers have gone? If the crap website is whats overseas they wouldn't be going be signing up over to join would they $%#^ me.

 However, rather than waiting for Parliament to patch up the Racing Act to get some of that money back, Allen and his team are quickly moving to apply for a licence which the new Australian laws allow.

"We are going to work hard now to find solutions because we don’t believe we are the intended targets for this legislation."

5th September 2017 nearly 2 years ago and what has John Allen and his nil management done to get some of that money back, nothing.   So you can't have your biggest neighbour with the highest world wide per capita in gambling dollars betting with you and as far as International goes in the gambling world NZ doesn't exist well only to Companies like Paddy Power who see the Industry here as easy to bluff the no clue management and suck revenue from. Go and have a look at betting sites in Aussie the one here is a shambles compared to those.

'Allen and his team are quickly moving' as they should be out the door. You wouldn't have them apply for a license to sell lemonade let alone a license to sell betting in  Australia. Throughout his role as CEO he has talked in riddles he should have had a role in a Batman movie not the racing Industry..

Yes took me 3 years to sack my trainer he talked the talk and in riddles just like John Allen has but at least I worked it out in 3 years not 5 like the Industry here has. Lets hope RITA sack management in 3 weeks along with the nil marketing department who can be outsourced easily enough.
