I'll add another general comment.

Wagering on horses here is still in the Stone Age.

With an online broking account one has access to live prices, market depth etc. of every listed company on the ASX and with the click of a mouse can place a buy or sell order literally for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Punters should have online access to live prices from the betting ring from all bookmakers fielding at each meeting on one convenient screen/desktop and be able to select the bookmaker, odds on offer and place their wager.
