Not sure what the final balance was tonight as they are very quiet when they get a hiding!
started with over $18k but with no greyhound racing they were always going to struggle on past experience!
They were all over the place with their betting with Brendan Popplewell putting nearly $5k on the nose of a galloper in Hong Kong ffs?
They encourage this bet responsibly but that obviously doesnt mean the presenters on out the gate have to abide by this?
With respect they clearly have not been chosen by the TAB to bet responsibly and pick winners!
When you can not make money on NZ racing and they choose to wager overseas rather than supporting our local product, it is telling you something!
Seems odd that people continue to put money into the OTG betting pool rather than wanting to pick themselves?
Anyway, each to their own and good luck to them, but seriously it is not painting a great picture with this carefree, it isnt my money, so blow it attitude!
Remember colfix, may have won the nuggets, out of red mit from memory, she was a coast specialist, trained a few more handy ones, but names escape me, been a few good gallopers grace the coast tracks over the years, remember the mighty scapolo winning at omoto, Royal adder, blue sage, miles better, placido, cappiemore, Modena,to name a few, some of these horse won 10 or 15 races, you just don't that these day, nice little roll call of very good performers, fell free to add a few more.
The 2 year old race at Addington for 17k had the massive tote turnover of $2k so with the TAB take out of that would mean they would be losing just about the full stake amount, minus any of the exotics
absolute stupidity unless you are the owners of the 3 horses.
About time!
Was the best horse in that field as has raced far better horses and perfirmed well against them
Had been driving it as if he he had no intention of being placed.
