    • I see some dude called Michael Hawke really giving it to the arch conspiracist Colin Wightman on the FB group
    • curmudgeons. i had to look that up to be sure it meant what i thought.- bad tempered,usually old.  That seems to be how you view many on here who post.i think thats its a bit harsh myself. actually i like the new format,it adds a bit of colour. i like the other trackside presenters,they all are good,but thursday nights racing could do with a bit of colour. As you say,they seem to be getting punter particaption,which indicates many tune in and follow them. i'm not sure how long the show will last,maybe the novelty might wear off. I think it adds something,even that something is for viewers to follow their bets and think, they may be a bit all over the place with their betting side of things.
    • The Sept. 28 Zenyatta Stakes (G2) at Santa Anita Park pays fitting tribute to one Hall of Famer, but it is another one, Beholder, who may hold more of a key to this year's running of the 1 1/16-mile race for distaffers.View the full article
    • The TAB has come up with a new market for those not keen on investing on hotpot The Lazarus Effect at Addington tonight. The Bob Butt-trained and driven Lazarus four-year-old is the shortest favourite of the night at $1.08 to secure his fourth career win from just six lifetime stars in Race 2, the Garrards Horse and Hound Mobile Pace (5.33pm). With him dominating the market the TAB is now offering a “The Lazarus Effect Out” option. With him out of the picture J T Boe is paying $2.40 for the win, with Quinn next at $2.60. To see the market click here  The TAB often offers such options and there is a similar one for the IRT New Zealand Trotting Cup at Addington Raceway on Tuesday, November 11 which excludes the Aussie superstars Swayzee and Leap To Fame.

    • i watched this race last night,did not bet on it ,but when i rread the stipes report i didn't think it was accurate description of what actually hasppened in the race. firstly,it says play the ace, over raced on occasions. just exactly where on the video does it show that happening. on the 2 occassions t mitchell, pushed it hard to hold the lead over about 300m and then again for 200m, during the first 1700m of the race,his horse was not over racing. nor was it over racing for the 50m before he pulled off the trail on 2 different occassions he had another crack at the 2 favorites. The only time the horse over raced if you look at the video was for about 100m with 1300m to run. now i don't know why he adopted the tactics he did ,on the complete outsider who had not raced for several months. My guess would be ,maybe he didn't like the horses personality when warming it up and was having a bad day prior. But of course thats just a guess and not relevant to what actually he did.The horse naturally dropped out a long way from home to finish a tired and distant last.  shouldn't the stipes have at least have taken the time to ask the trainer what his instructions and opened an inquiry. i say that,because i can guarantee if that was an amateur driver,they would have been looked at far more closely and my guess,they would have been given a 6 month suspension for such a odd drive(if it was an amateur). then secondly,the stipes report said jaccka opa caused its driver some difficulty in the last 50m of the race. well again,thats not what the video shows. The video cleary shows its driver,k coppins ,ran up in behind the horse in front of her ,then instead of taking hold of her horse when it could no longer progress forward,she angled it out,then realised there was no room to do that without interfering with the horse outside her,so went from turning its head to the right quickly to turning its head to the left quickly .,throwing it off balance. I mean ,it was clearly the manner in which it was driven that was the main contibutor to the horse going off balance. i've mentioned this driver several times in the pasti,because she seems to be getting no guidance from the stipes and repeats the same driving. Why is that?.
