I’ve got a TAB account. Stopped using it regularly after I received an email going on about how I was taking advantage of the promotions that weren’t actually there for punters to profit from. If I carried on I would be ineligible for anymore promotions. No big deal. It was quite time consuming as I was betting then laying the favourite on Betfair so you had to be glued to the computer before every race trying to minimise the cost of matching the bet. Then I was backing horses with the bonus bets at around $10 and again laying them on Betfair. It was time consuming and mistakes could be costly. I would however recommend all punters give it a go. You learn a lot from watching what happens on Betfair. Away from the promotions I found you can’t win just betting on overs. They’re onto you fairly quickly. I would put a bet through and it would come back saying you can’t have that amount but you can have this lower amount. No point carrying on. You can get other people to open accounts for you to use but it gets messy. You need to get another phone to hide your identity and then there’s getting the money out. Most people even family members don’t want to get involved. They think gambling is evil and you’re doing something bad and they don’t want to be a part of it. Too much work for a few thousand dollars before they shut you down. I had a Queensland TAB/Ubet account. If I withdrew any funds they would send me a cheque. I would drive around a number of banks but more often than not they would refuse to let me deposit the cheques into my account. You were treated like a cross between a gambling addict and an international money launderer. Eventually I worked out that you could get the cheques through easily by depositing them into your account at an ATM. Things changed when Ubet closed down and the overs I was getting were gone just like that. Nowadays I just use Betfair and occasionally use the NZ TAB account to score a bit of petrol money. I like laying runners when they get near to Winx odds as its unlikely they’re going to be a Winx. Cleaned up on Belle Detelle at Mornington today. I’m sure the QR code thing may have happened but things have changed since then. Everybody got the same promotional offers back then but now they target those who they can get more from with all kinds of generous offers. I have mates who just punt and lose for fun and they get promotional offers I’m never going to get. I had a look for the deposit match and I’ve got 10%. Wont bother as I don’t want to be gubbed. Apparently they’re really quick at putting the squeeze on you these days so I’ll just stay under the radar and pick up a few hundred here and there. Winning on the punt isn’t hard its just time consuming. You’re going to struggle with the TAB’s 120% plus closing markets unless you can be extremely patient, are extremely brilliant or have access to really good information. You can make more money doing other things with the same amount of effort. It’s just not as much fun. -

Well folks.....I'm all set for the big night...should be a cracker. Good fields , some good value there with wide draws etc and I do think Orchestral not in best form ...time will tell. Craig Williams ,Blake Shinn and a few Aussie Horses should add to the puzzle. The Admission fee seems steep but ....worth it ...yes ! Its a Grand Tour Event so there will be a band and music etc and decent afterparty.I heard it will be The Eagles ! In the shortened time frame the food options will be adequate.....contrary to some gossip the Hot Chips @ $7 are good value ! Tomato sauce free. As is the Shoeshine ! And any rowdy youngsters are locked away in their own party room , while BGP with 850 attending are upstairs in public stand. BGP pool is building and 500 participants will get Bonus bet from TAB. By far and away the best days racing in NZ , should be great ! See you there ! -

Yes , I thought all Cowans were Aka !! I have no race records at all , but I remember Show Gates brother well....Show Keeper a gelding. There were a couple others who showed promise as Colts but went amiss. Going Some and Troilus ! Show Keeper won once at 3 and with bad form started fresh at 4 over 2000m at Gore , possibly ridden by Steven Crutchley and it won paying $45 ! The next season he looked really good and was working the house down ...Gordon used the stop watch on all fast work and declared tho he was resuming in the 2200m Ashburton Cup he really should be in the Open 1200m such was his times ! He duly led all the way and won by 5 lengths fresh up at 2200m ! Gordon always looked out for good young jockeys and he nailed Brent Thompson for the 1975 NZ Cup but he got stuck on the rails for an unlucky 5th , the Cup being won by Heidseck. Maybe you remember Show Keeper. -
However if she indeed has not come up as a 4yo she creates great value for another horse. The obvious one is Bourbon Princess $4 2nd fav but based on 3yo form last year there is a longer priced horse that will pay more for a place than either of the two favs are paying for a win.
