It's consistent with the continual breaches of the agreements between NZ and Australian TAB's and racing industry organisations.
I guess I should be happy to see on this side of the ditch as much or more Australian racing than I care for but with your example above and the total lack of i.e.nil coverage and betting opportunities on what is Addington's 3rd biggest meeting of the year Easter Saturday. I'm glad the aforementioned agreements are up for renegotiation this year and NZ is keen to right some of these wrongs. After all our TAB pools are intermingled into TABCORP pools so when they do things like this punters, industry participants and the whole industry miss out from prizemoney, turnover and the opportunity to bet and collect.
