Accurate race caller and his indepth knowledge of all three codes is second to none. Absolutely crazy thats for sure!!! Meanwhile a new flash in the pan caller keeps his job in the South Island. It made me ill the amount of back slapping he got last November. They have short memories of when Teaz used to fly the length of the country at his own expense to call races and/or be a presenter.

We're Doomed 4,868 Report post Posted May 11, 2020 6 minutes ago, scooby3051 said: The Trackside coalface people at Radio and TV are knowledgeable with a genuine passion for the industry doing their best to promote and attract people to racing and create turnover. Barry Lichter makes mention of Mark Claydon losing his job. There would be very few with more knowledge and passion for than industry than Mark. It is people such as Mark that are asset to racing yet now surplus to requirements according to Rita. Exactly Ted...and thats why the industry has been totally fucked inside and out...they don't care one iota about the industry...nor the quality industry people they just get rid of....all they care about is protecting their own...nothing more and keeping their big fat pay checks so they can keep their snouts in the trough. Sadly, we have all seen this coming for a long time and no one has done anything about it. It is hard to know what people could have done, but everyone now realises they should have done something. I think the three code bodies became so used to being subservient to the RIB that they forgot to hold them to task when they started to go rogue. slam dunk and nomates 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
We're Doomed 4,868 Report post Posted May 11, 2020 We do need to remember that it has been govt appointees like the shot putter who have caused this devastation of a once proud industry, so on that basis the govt does have some responsibility to try and put things right.

There are plenty complicit in this that could have done something about, but I don't think its fair to say alot of people haven't tried to warn of this happening..they simply haven't been listened to and a combination of apathy and self interest has interfered with anything being done about it. nomates, dock leaf and Pam Robson 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

premixer 105 Report post Posted May 11, 2020 Any of the big AUS bookies are easy to deal with, never had to wait more then 48 hours for funds to be in my account, add Betfair to the list as well. A few of the smaller ones were hard work getting funds, mainly because of the international transfer process, but always got my money in the end. Just be sure to verify all your accounts/cards straight away to avoid any delays in withdrawals. Huey 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re so wrong Stable’s. Any punter worth their weight always bet where the “best odds” are available. That’s not with the NZ TAB.

Boss Hogg 320 Report post Posted May 11, 2020 13 hours ago, We're Doomed said: The signs were there a couple of years ago when they got rid of Michael Dore, who would have more racing knowledge than everyone left in the building put together. Hi Doomed ,have suggested Michael Dore on previous thread a few months ago as you say not many would know more but most probably had a gutsful of the way things are going . As for Mark Claydon he was the bright light on radio and TV he had a passion for racing and I'm sure they dont know anything about racing if they can drop Mark .A few think that withdrawing their betting on the TAB might show we are dissatisfied with the direction they are heading ,I remember Lex Nichols formed a no one bet on race one at TeRapa back in the mid 70's it was the biggest turn over of the day ,so that didnt work . I've also said I feel like Custer ,it doesnt matter how hard or how high I wave the white flag the same result is inevitable ,Cheers BH THE TORCH 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eljay 1,720 Report post Posted May 12, 2020 If any people are serious about NZ Racing then they should cease to bet on the NZ TAB on imported product.

Red Rum 1,833 Report post Posted May 12, 2020 27 minutes ago, Stables said: God we're so optomistic on this site I think every single person on this site loves racing , different opinions but love it all the same , or why bother chewing the fat over it . I punt 95 per cent my dollar on NZ Tab , only time I don't some big overseas handicaps where I can get down to 6th place and better options but not a lot so it's in my interest that it succeeds as I enjoy going to the track and get close to the horses and have a bet , it's great . What gets up my nose is the entitlement of some in racing , note some not many but some like the taxpayers owes them a living . Like F Off , my family who earn and pay taxes don't gamble , care little about the sport , take risks in their jobs to earn a coin they owe racing sweet FA, my kids owe racing sweet FA , so why should I as a taxpayer not be concerned taxpayer funds are going to a dysfunctional, fat cat laden , greedy industry who are totally un self sustaining at the moment . I truly hope they sort their shit , get rid of the fat cats and stale old same old same old admin and come back strong , but not on others people's coin .
