The various Tabcorp fire-sale promotions this year continue to be manna from heaven for anyone who dreamt of making it in this caper, considering they allow modest punters to compete on a more level playing field against the sharks who enjoy the advantages of secretive kickbacks.

Yet not only has there been ZERO interest here, but discussion has completely ceased everywhere.

And now it's almost too late.

NSW racing minister West is trying to scale Everest by proving that he is even less competent than his predecessors.
