Can the tote please respond?

All that matters is that they have the local racing exotics to milk, haven't you heard? Everything else is a chore and a favour to punters.

Nope,hollywood not letting you take jackpots or doubles at Launceston,only fixed or multiples I think.

For the first time since 23 March Pinjara has full exotics the last 2/3 races, traditionally which is the case. We wont be shocked these muppets reverting to Level 4 lockdown stance of limiting exotics & restrict to 1 track going forward.

Well done TAB. Today a full complement of Exotics on Two Harness meetings this morning, and I see the same is planned for tomorrow. Please keep up the good work.

So. Today the tote has conspired to start the local exotics from Aus at 9.20am. And only on one venue when there are a few nice venues available. We ask for consistency, after a whole week of 10am starts and multiple venues, today it is early start but one venue.

What's going on here? What is going to be the standard going forward?

I guess someone forgot to mention to Tellytrack once again which venues are the ones offering the local exotics today. Full coverage of Ascot which somehow has no local exotics offered today, but they randomly cut to the Bathurst race while it was midway through running. How do we expect local pools to grow if there is zero build up? Then the brains trust will decide the pools are low because there is no money for Aus racing.

The same for the next Launceston race, spent the entire 10 mins before the race showing us Kenilworth betting slides, and cut to the Launceston race as they are almost fully loaded. These people need to realize that we are not in the Tote based environment where we all have access to seeing the visuals any more. This online environment is the new Tote, and for us to bet properly we need to see the horses, or at least a damn betting scroll at the bottom of the screen showing us the existence of the race at least five mins before the race. This producer today is doing the basics at ensuring all races are broadcasted, but really, Tellytrack should also be ensuring pools are maximized, which they are definitely not doing this morning so far.

Once more, this is really dumb. Full coverage of many aus venues this morning. Local Exotics only offered on ONE venue, Tamworth, for some reason, and Tellycrap decide that the 6 minute period before the Tamworth race, the only race for which it is actually vital that we get some build up to for the sake of local exotics, is the time which they will use to flight changes and betting for Kenilworth.

Pools reacted accordingly - SW 771, TF917, QT2753. Literally the first time we saw any mention of this race upcoming is as the starters car was about to swing clear of the field for the start. UNACCEPTABLE.

Have a great Tote system and a great broadcaster, doing their best to raise turnover.

But now we have a split screen with Greyville races showing us Shepparton racing well in advance of racetime, but there are no local exotics on these races :lol:

If I complain any longer I will go grey. Think I am done.

I know how you feel...

.....see what you mean....as there is a late starting flat meeting from Pinjarra today.....last 3 races extend beyond 10 am... yet no full exotics....another betting opportunity squandered on a thin day of racing.....I have no confidence in racing surviving here if TT and the tote do not pull finger and chase the betting revenue as this is the only way to eventually grow the stakes pools and get owners to stop from leaving the game....
