    • Geez you full of it...we went thru the Polluted air / bad quality   FACTS a while back and most of the worst areas in NZ are in the South Island ,some probably close to your cave. And since then you have had snow , extremely high winds and hundreds of houses with out power and water for prolonged and dangerous periods. Some racecourse facilities just blown over and even blown away ! And the plea from your local politicians ,   another area of Chernobyl proportions close to your cave...please send us money. I sent a little ,but with one condition , NONE to be given to cave creatures please ! As for betting numbers , of course they down where horse numbers per race at record lows ! Northern punters with Brodie 'power' won't unload on 5 and 6 horse fields especially for the place ! And I've told you before the top 2% of NZ punters bet over 60 % of the turnover. Join the dots . And maybe look out for your struggling neighbours, go meet em, and quit the inane repeat obsession with race nomination numbers ! Pleeeze !
    • Thanks Gamma for keeping us up to date with the WDC. Keeping the tag team on track !! I see Aussie GHall Jnr has got the plum drive on Rachmaninov on Friday...I love that horse , now 290 odd starts and often run good races out of its class rating etc. Seems like the drivers getting a good look around the country and many have friends and family with them. And great the way NZ folk have put their horses forward to race.....my syndicates have put a couple in ,one horser not surprisingly as its a bit tricky gave the driver a shocking drive ,going rough on the bends .
    • 6 races at Manawatu, only 2 horses trained  from up North, little bit of a anomaly in the dates setting here, everyone's focus is on Cup Week, and the extra day between races may not help, strange they just didn't slot Palmy in the following week on Tuesday, Thursday, , just my thoughts, the Greyhounds finishing soon won't help Palmy much, hard to know where or what the future holds in the CD moving forward, there are still a few trainers keeping it going, mind you the issues in Palmy or the CD ain't much different to the rest of the North Island.
    • It's not Avondale but the ladies will be out in force and just a couple of juicy exotics will help build a bank for the big week ahead ! Same basic rules apply...back Trainers and jockeys !! I'll be banking on the following.... R1 Full Hao [ JMac ]  , Expeetee [ 25/1] R2 Berkshire Shadow , Cloudland [ won greys race in 2024]  R3 Moonlight Circus , Verona Rose R4 Shokletz , Libeyami R5 Apulia , Enxuto  R6 Lake Vostok , Meh Keffi [ JMelham ] Trifectas /First 4 Good Luck !
