Please explain to me how the NZ taxpayer currently contributes anything to the TAB either daily weekly, monthly or yearly. I admit that the Taxpayer/NZ Government bailed out the TAB incidentally caused by the idiots of their own appointments, John Allen etc. I would have thought that the TAB and/or Racing Industry was a huge contributor in reverse, Duty, GST, Tax on wages via Stable Staff, Race-day people, Tote staff etc.

So where does the money/profit from betting get spent if it’s not on stakes?
-
Mardi, are you saying that race stakes in NZ are more than 2 or 3 times what they should be and Group Racing is 4 to 5 times what they should be? If so we what is your rationale for saying that?
-
You are probably right about the young ones but not the rest of us. If you want to isolate yourself [the SI] from the rest of us, that is defeatist thinking and will take you further down the slippery slope. Whilst it would have been great to win that $350K race restricted to South Island trained horses the other day, what a waste of money half of that stake was. In other words the racing being worth $175K would have sufficed, with the rest spread elsewhere for all participants, even if it was in the SI.

No, but they have learned since 😇

Probably a BETTER bet would be to transfer the NZ Derby back to Riccarton. At least it can be guaranteed that the track will be RACEABLE on.
-
The NORTH have been trying to get the Guineas races for years. It would destroy the NZ Cup Carnival at Riccarton. It WONT happen.
-
Surely these last few posts are a hang over from 1 April. If not please post something official regarding the new Guineas sale or any other news release.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤️

Nothing and wont be. [You heard it here first] Good night for the 2nd time. Barry the Bastard has sent me off to bed. 😂
-
Good night 😂

I don't know about the fritters but Buller is right up there as king of the whitebait, at least when I played for the Sub-Union.
-
Agree 100% Why cant Auckland and all their crony supporters, acknowledge it? They simply fucked up.
-
Me too 😂
-
Sadly your view is your view which simply follows the line.......give Auckland whatever they want and to hell with everything else... the Pattern of Racing, tradition, the Seasons etc etc. Thank God the 1000 and 2000 Guineas are still being run a Riccarton. Look what they have done to the the Wellington Cup Carnival. I don't need to go on, but racing will go on with or without Ellerslie.

Are you Leggy/Curious in drag? I thought that you had thrown you toys out of the cot and gone anyway. What gives?
-
Get real!
-
Hesi, I was wasting a bit of time reading older threads and came across this posting of yours. As you have the ability to, can you edit it by removing the word wonderful? 😂
-
Whilst in general I agree with you, I don’t think that there is too much of a risk trialling on Monday so long as the rail is in the innermost position. After all, that part of the track has been used of late without any problems. In fact I have even recommended that my friends take their filly there to trial on Monday.

Beautifully handled too

Race 1: 2, 7, 8 Race 2: 3, 7, 12 Race 3: 2, 3, 5 Race 4: 3, 4, 5 Race 5: 1, 5, 6 Race 6: 2, 8, 9 BB Race 7: 6, 10, 14 BB Race 8: 3, 9, 10 Race 9: 2 3, 5 Thanks from a galloping man. Hopefully the rain stays away and doesn't spoil the party. P.S. I cant believe I have only picked a horse drawn one on a front runners track, that is almost certainly to be, rain effected. Maybe I should simply put a dollar on all of them!
-
This is what Liz asked over on Race Cafe Where has Bruce Sharrock gone too? He's the boss but never has anything to say. Even the few "news releases" appear to be written by Darin Balcombe from what I can see. Just wondering. Maybe Hesi and her are secretly talking!

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/intense-weather-ahead-tasman-rain-maker-due-to-douse-new-zealand/J755B76XPRBMZJNCXD2WZIAWMQ/ I doubt Foxton will even get 100mm out of this.
-
Someone must have accidentally pointed your irrigation in the direction of your (Foxton) rain gauge. Aren’t you now based in Rangiora?
-
Curious, you are doing it to me again......... Levin is 12 minutes down the road and the official Rainfall for there for the last 30 days is 29.4 mm. [One whole month] Yet you are trying to tell me that Foxton has had 116mm in the last 8 days! I haven't read about any localized weather bomb hitting Flaxtown, have you?
