Gil Gives the Lads a Free Kick
Here’s Tabcorp Chief Executive Gillon McLachlan at today’s Hobart Cup. It’s nice of him to give the opposition a free kick. The Lads say good on you Gil.
Re On Course Totes
Archie I read your article and don’t necessarily disagree, however as a frequent Melton attendee I am hoping at least on the (few) big nights there will be a pop up tote that will generate enough turnover to pay staff members wages. This is to allow the (Melton) locals attending to spend a dollar or […]
You’ve Got To Keep Up With the Times Or Get Left Behind Mr Martin
High-profile Victorian racing identity and former race caller Bryan Martin publicly bemoaned the closure of the on-course tote at the Sale race meeting yesterday, telling Tabcorp via Twitter (X) that it needs to read the room. As regular readers know we are no fan of Tabcorp, and call them out consistently for their faults, but […]
Pins Parnell Talks a Good Game
Former Racing Queensland CEO Brendan ‘Pins’ Parnell talks a good game. So he should, for he is a former polished presenter. You want a fact, Pins has got it. Want some buzz words? He has that too. Pins is also a genius at talking himself up, and backing his boasts with stats. How huge company […]
Ya Gotta Love AI Generated Form Guides
What you see above is what appears on the TAB website and in their form guides for the feature race at Warrnambool on Tuesday. Ignore it, for its wrong in every respect. Major Share is not a 7-year-old, he is four. He is not by Sacred Falls out of Flighttime. Overshare is Major Share’s sire […]
The TAB Open at Even Money Shot up at $16.00 – Gee What a Surprise
The price setter at the TAB was up to their old tricks in the Be Good Johnny Sprint at Albion Park on Saturday night. Wasa Heatseeker is a real good horse who had won 3 from 4 since coming to QLD, and in his win two starts back had run a super fast mile in […]
Message to TAB – This is How You Do It
The feedback we received from the story we published earlier in the week about the TAB’s wording of the bonus offer was mixed, with some readers believing we were correct in our interpretation of the offer and others saying we were a bloody idiot who misunderstood what it said. That the verdict weas split only […]
Tabcorp Reprogram the Kiwi Races
See how the Australian TAB had race 1 in New Zealand scheduled to run after race 2 at Te Aroha? It would have been a good trick. The only NZ races held that day were the ones at Te Aroha, and the first race definitely jumped before the second. I saw it with my own […]
Tabcorp are Tricky Con Artists – If CEO McLachlan Wanted to Piss His Customers Off and Drive Them Away, Then He’s Succeeded Too
The TAB is a joke. I received the unsolicited promo offer from the bums this week in my email inbox. DEPOSIT AND RECEIVE DOUBLE the email shouted in big font. DEPOSIT AND WE’LL DOUBLE IT IN BONUS BETS UP TO $100 it then said in smaller font. * Terms and conditions apply it then whispered […]
You Can’t Win Them All – Even With a Head Start
It doesn’t seem that the TAB fixed odds price setting on the Albion Park trots has improved any since we last drew the huge overs being bet in the opening markets to your attention. Yesterday in race 7 the last start winner against almost an identical field Targaryen opened up at $7.00 with the TAB. […]
