    • The reality of it is that the NZ TAB have people in charge that I consider are too conservative like accountants. They have been worrying about yield rather than turnover and if you turn over less but have a higher yield then you are probably be in trouble. This is a sure fire way of losing the existing punters and I have maintained this for so long. They now have to resurrect things as they must by now be aware that the cash splash from Entain will quickly stop and they will have very little to show for it Still away but has the CEO of HRNZ yet realised that they are struggling or is he still very positive?
    • Well it does not take a lot of early money to move a market these days but the main reason is the opening price was wrong, so naturally the market will gravitate towards the correct price once the public start betting. Bookies also get an advantage early as most of these markets opened at 135% a couple of the bigger fields with the emergencies even opened at 155 - 165% so yes they are pretty average with their opening odds sometimes.
    • Yes, just ordinary, but first up run in a race, let's see how the next start goes
    • I'm thinking she may be a length or 2 below the best G1 company in Aus.  Miss Roumbini who drew wide also came from behind her and went past with ease.  Sepals also drew wide and won well. Lots of very good horses in Aus. Be crazy not to bring her back to NZ for the KM 4-year-old race in Jan
    • you've got more followers than the whale by the looks of it nowornever. The tab may run out of ink,they've changed the  price of your selection, amendment, that often and its now only paying $3.20,after opening at $10 I see the original favorite in that race,grettymac has gone from $3.70 out to $4.50. Grettymac to be driven by harness racings equivalent of sleepy joe. .What will r mcilwrick do tactically.Will he put the ,wake me when the race is over sign on the back of his helmet, or will he pull a rabbit out of the hat with grettymac. Just depends whether he gets enough sleep on the couch tonigh i suppose. His form reminds me of the southland riugby team recently.. .That race.being part of the invited drivers format where i guess they pick their provinces top drivers.. interesting ..  one of your other selections,the b orange drive has shortened into $6.50 from an opening of $8.50. did you see they said on trackside matt cross tipped flyaway at $26 in race 9 on friday. I could be wrong but i seemed to hear them say that withiin a couple of hours of matt cross tipping it,the horse had become a $75,000 liabilty for the tab.Gee,he must have a few followers as well.iif their liabilty was that big,how come its still paying $8.
