Larry has a go at Tellytrack.

Larry has a go at Tellytrack for poor coverage of local racing during the Awards at Kimberley



Peter Miller won the owner and trainer awards and Andrew Fortune for leading Jockey, the awards were accepted by Patrick Davis, Debbie Hawkins and Alfie Little on behalf of the winners.

MDK called Vaal sand surface a disgrace.

it is an undeniable disgrace, condemned by most, defended by a few apologists...

I like 3 people at Tellytrack...Shaheen (different class top notch), Nico (excellent guy hamstrung), Cecil (top class a friend) and Ive heard from a good source that Neil is also very well respected by his staff.

The rest the less I say the better.

I would like to say that people employed by stables or stud farms and also used as contractors on TT as presenters should be re looked at. I find it wrong that presenters are allowed to push and make sure the viewers know as to where their loyalties are...an example today was in the post race interview with the owner of Petrus..and how the interviewer gave a push to a particular stud..and the winner was not bred at that stud farm..Cmon man isnt there some sort of conflict of interest

Nico you a good guy and your permanent staff respect you and Neil..its time you stood by them.

There once was a fellow named Larry,
Who sought to get married to Mary.
He bought her a ring
Although, not her liking
She left him to marry gardner Jerry.

this posed a problem for Jerry
he thought: it’s awkward when I carry
on my finger this ring
because I’ve planned this thing:
tomorrow I’m ging to ask Mary to marry.

Sly, I don't have a clue?
Are you back on the Johnny Blue

And I thought I was the only one not following!!!

I'm sure that the more pressure we put on Tellytrack and Phumelela the more chance we have of them ignoring us publically!!!

I would really love that.

Morning guys,

I'm not one to have a dig at Tellytrack, because lets be fair it is a thankless job (bit like a golf course greenkeeper). The only problem I have is their lack of communication back to us the punters and clients of South African racing. I have sent a few emails (3 to be exact) over the last year or so and I'm yet to get even a hello from the hierarchy - the only people that communicate are Shaheen, Cecil and Julie and to those 3 I have nothing but good things to say.

I just wish that they would get out there and find out what we want, rather than giving us what they think we need - Marketing 101.

Hopefully things change, but hopefully is a big word.

how about taking a class of 40 males..
get your IT guys to print stats..last 5 years..
ie.. E Division won 98% of the time by top 5 in the betting..
ie.. MR Handicap won 59% of the time by no 1 if betting shorter than 18/10
put your data in cubes..OLAP..Crystal...sell the info if you want to..
you are sitting on a gold mine of data..start mining it..

charge R2000 for 2 days..
9am-12am...theory..
12am-6pm...practical online realtime..with real money...


do the sums...
860 towns x 40 students X R2000 = R68,800,000.00

add to it the monthly fee of R200 to recieve new stats on cd..

R200 x 40 student x 860 towns = R6,880,000. pm x 12 months = R82,560,000 pa.

then add the turnover from these guys at ..
R1000 per day x 40 students x 860 towns = R34,400,00.00 per day...
or R10,032,000,000...per month...

far fetched....look at spot trading >$4 trillion per day..2000 is was $1.2 trillion per day..

how did the spot trading market grow...worldwide brokers started giving courses..selling programs..trade from home...

or is it too little money....

what is in it for me....the bigger the pool..the more I win...not greedy...just like a lot....
