slam dunk 1,317 Report post Posted May 11, 2020 Great opportunity for new ventures, ideas etc from grass roots to circumvent the TAB. No way must clubs throw away IP rights and clubs must be allowed to run their own pools. Baz (NZ) and THE TORCH 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikenz 1,071 Report post Posted May 11, 2020 More and more overseas racing ,too much now,maybe 1 tv channel but a better radio coverage,that's what I would do gubellini, Baz (NZ) and ADM 1 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idolmite 2,460 Report post Posted May 11, 2020 Wall to wall racing with no presenters and/or interviewers is of no interest to me whatsoever. We're already struggling for good racing in this country due to not enough good horses staying on our shores, and I thought we were already at maximum saturation point as far as overseas space-filling racing content went. Obviously not. I'm only a small time punter, albeit of many decades, but have already been betting less and less due to our inferior product. Whilst we might off all complained about the quality of many of our presenters, I'd still rather have them than every space they would of filled now filled by three races from places we've never heard of, containing horses we've never heard of, ridden by jockeys we've never heard of and trained by trainers we've never heard of.....and no form or comments on the TAB website. I'm done. Overcheck, Baz (NZ) and slam dunk 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gubellini 3,923 Report post Posted May 11, 2020 Wall to wall overseas racing will not improve the TAB’s bottom line. The pools are usually woeful. If anything obscure overseas venues should be scrubbed not expanded. arjay, Nearco, Idolmite and 3 others 3 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomates 3,455 Report post Posted May 11, 2020 Yet again decisions being made by non racing people , as i have just posted on another thread they think every punter is a dribbling addict hanging out to put another bet on anything they show . They are so out of touch it is not even remotely funny . The whole feckin lot needs to be torn down and built up by people that actually know and understand the racing industry . Anybody who says they are IT , PR , Senior management needs the shit kicked outa their arses as they are removed from the building .
