Give Butch a ring. He's the CEO.

I failed the first security test to get into the site today.

I passed after ticking quite a few buckets! -
I think one of the main reasons was that they thought they were losing punter spend to off shore FO bookmakers and that would accelerate if they did not offer a competing product.
-
Are they still paying Betfair/Paddy Power $40m a year for that, or are Entain/Ladbrokes now providing that?
-
No it's 2022. https://www.tabnz.org/reports

I did eventually get the yields for 4 years about that time and from memory the gross FOB return ranged from 2+% - 12% p.a. Never did look at the cost increases though.
-
What's happening on the geoblocking anyway?
-
Lot lower costs too. Might be the go.
-
Yes please. I'm looking for that too, especially venue/meeting comparisons.
-
Friction or a lack of it is maybe the result but it is the surface tension (of the track) that is restricting the water permeating causing the lack of friction between that water layer and the surface below.
-
Well, I might be wrong. I think you are taking it as meaning a quality of the water but I think Strathayr are using it to mean a quality of the track surface.
-
I don't think that's the point. Not that you'd find many 600kg horses going round. As I understand it, the higher surface tension pre`vents the water from light rain, such as Ellerslie expēriēnced, penetrating that surface so you have much wetter soil and/or surface water in the top few mms causing a slippery surface.
-
A thick layer of roots just below the surface would certainly increase surface tension by preventing water infiltrating, but how could they not know it was there?
-
You could ask the question for sure but I'm pretty sure the answer would be no. They are not in the business of giving even losing punters, large amounts of money in advance and they'd have to make such a deal available to all then wouldn't they?
-
Probably, as you suggest, where they are not unduly exposed anyway and they rate the chance of the horse winning close to 100%. So, the promotional value exceeds the risk and it encourages earlier turnover of that money.

Haha
-
Isn't he doing that in spades already?
-
Might have trained top 3yo Princess Patrice as well?
-
Was it Waiuk? or Waiuku? Think he won a few at the races there too didn't he? Sounds like you might have had an overnight sex change Pete. If so, congratulations.
-
I for one won't be betting on it until the issues with it seem to be sorted.
-
Yes. And I'd say riders reluctant to change ground in the shifty conditions favoured the handy horses that had a straight run to the line.
-
Good pic. There was turf flying all over the place on that turn.
