    • just watched the first race at invercargill. the non win trot . the fields are small down there,but they have the same serial gallopers each week. majestic challen one of them.I just watch it and have a chuckle each week.. I did back it a few times in the past,but gave up a while ago. Here we are a year later and it still does the same thing. Gets grumpy pre start,always runs like its got something going on in its mouth that really annoys the hack out of it.if it does go away,which is a big if these days,as soon as it spots a galloper in front of it, its stuffed because when its asked to go a bit wider its sore mouth gets the better of it and it gallops. it has to be one of the grumpiest horses racing in nz.Yet its been able to win $23,000 in stakes.I wonder if it will ever win a race?
    • i see its in tomorrow and is paying $1.85 on the ff.   Its only got 6 other rivals and only 1 of those has placed previously. gee,its not a strong field.Morrie afton paying $2.25 the other favorite. bizza too only paying $1.18 to run in top 2. personally i think the prices are ridiculous,but then again,what else is in there that could win.Maybe canlmbeforethestorm paying $10 could win,but it breaks all the time  and that stable used to prefer to place and not win.But it does have a driver on who likes to win. who knows,something will win though.
    • Actually, 'nowadays' most live in urban areas!  Myself, the entry was the 'local clubs',  Addington and Riccarton.  Back then, early 70's,  lots of crowds and excitement was to be had almost weekly! Of course another big difference back then was that the working class man had a spare $ in their back pockets.   What with this current 'cost of living crisis' I'm surprised that many punting numbers would be up?
    • Galah, I think the bigger problem is that the stake money the horses will be racing for, is going to be significantly less than currently, in s couple of years. If Entain had not come along and put all this money in for 5 years, what would we be currently racing for dollar wise? No way will they be maintained at todays level in 2 years time unfortunately, unless Entain continues to chuck big amounts in, and we know that is not happening! HRNZ should be acting far more conservatively than they have been but then again I am not on the big bucks with HRNZ or TAB!
    • My simple read, so knowing that the old days of instant accurate betting is no longer available, that as 'us oldie$' in the racing betting pools decline, retire, pass on... that some  younger punters might show some interest,  but the simple reality of how hard it is to bet a winner in racing,  on the surface its way easier with Sports betting...
