I am also one who does not like issues being "glossed over" with waffle. These issues don't get fixed because authorities wont act with any certitude because it takes courage, They are great at quoting betting figures and how may races at certain prizemoney are scheduled for which meetings but that is about it from where I sit. I am not sure they truly understand the issues that are being mentioned either.

Accountancy/bookkeeping is just looking at spreadsheets, blind Freddy can do that. It solves none of the issues that are generally being raised by participants. I have hardly seen a post in any forum or any discussion I have had at the races where a trainer/owner or driver brings up online betting or any other statistical data relating to that as an issue that concerns them or their capacity to race, but betting seems to be the be all and end all of any administrators input. Part of this post can also be applied to another thread regarding tiered racing.

Lies, damned lies and statistics.
