    • Hard to know really isn't it? Handicapping, programming, stakes allocation, track safety (especially the polys), get the whip rules actually changed to match international standards? What do you think is most important? Probably nothing that's mentioned in the head post article?
    • Future Betting has some advantages. That way you can spread your bets out through the year . And bet for fun too. and/or support a team you like for a considerable amount of the season. Have never bet tennis or golf tournaments in my life as don't know any of the players. and don't follow those sports . But good luck to those that do though. they probably get to know the Good players and 'who can beat who' etc.  Here's a recent Example of us picking in Future markets at BOAY even.  We did a thread here where poster NoworNever selected all the harness Interdominion and Rising Star a Whole month in advance (in June)  of the Actual races.  and he  would of scored 70-1 for the 3 wins multi . (mine was 2 wins and a 4th from my 3 selections  at 100-1) , so only just missed because of a bad draw)  the saver I took ran 2nd. But it was Fun Trying.  so It works Mikey. And for very little outlay sometimes you can win BIG 👍💰    Here's a dollar one I took a photocopy of to put with my footy cards collection, before collecting when a team I liked upset the EPL big boys a few seasons back. Some future bets you can stash away as the year progresses. 2 NZ Cups ago , I thought AKUTA was a certainty to Win the NZ Cup . so had plenty of future tickets on him through the year . riding on him with multi's from Imperatriz wins and things like that. in the end 300 to win 9000 odd. Alas Swayzee went too well and defeated him . And I got nothing. But only a small outlay and Would of recovered that fairly quickly with a regular $50 bet .  So I started this very BOAY thread actually , looking a t the Cup Future markets . and starting off with some AKUTA ones now . He's not a bad type. and if anyone can beat Larry (apart from Swayzee) Mark Purdon is the Man for the job. 👍🏆🏆  
    • Gamma I never understand people betting in racing futures with no gaurantee of making the field/starting, futures in sports it is a bit clearer but I still haven't worked out if you take a futures bet on a tennis pre  tournament bet you get refund if a no show, all other sports futures are straightforward, at present there are heaps of teams in Soccer World Cup, but they will be whistled down over time.
    • The polytrack surface brings out the best in enigmatic mare Mars (NZ) (Zoustar) and her connections are hoping that trend continues on Wednesday. The well-bred daughter of Zoustar will run in the Richard Bright Memorial (1550m), the main event on the Waikato Racing Club’s card on her home all-weather track at Cambridge. Mars is undefeated in three appearances on the course, including two wins this preparation with an unplaced performance on a heavy grass track in between times. Vinnie Colgan has been aboard the five-year-old in all her outings this time in and the writing was on the wall before she’d gone into the gates at Ruakaka two starts back. “Vinnie said he knew even in her preliminary that she wasn’t going to handle it,” said Ben Foote, who trains in partnership with son Ryan. Colgan will again don the colours of owner Trelawney Stud on Wednesday and Mars promises to be a major player. “She’s a super talented horse on her day, I remember Michael McNab rode her three times in a row and said he had three different horses under him,” Foote said. “She’s got a bit of a personality disorder, but she’s put it all together on the poly to be unbeaten. “Hopefully, she can keep that up and she’s done well since her last run. If you get her at her best, she’s extremely hard to beat.” Mars was a $200,000 Karaka purchase out of Westbury Stud’s draft and is a daughter of the Fastnet Rock mare Red Is The Rose from the family of the Gr.1 Oakleigh Plate (1100m) winner River Dove. Stablemate Rosina (NZ) (El Roca) will also line up in the TAB Handicap (2000m) and has twice previously finished in the money on the synthetic track. “She had a bit of a virus and she’s over that now, so we think she’s a chance,” Foote said. Meanwhile, two other well-performed members of the team will further their spring preparations with jump-outs later this week. “The Odyssey (NZ) (Zacinto) will be aimed at the big Cups, including the two-mile ones,” Foote said. “Whether he comes up in time and is in the right form for the Livamol (Gr.1, 2040m), we’ll have to wait and see. “We’ve been waiting for him to mature and we think he’s just about there now, hopefully we haven’t seen the best of him yet.” The Odyssey has won six of his 19 starts and finished third in last season’s Gr.3 Waikato Cup (2400m). Also nominated for the Livamol, Myakkabelle (NZ) (War Decree) was a multiple stakes placegetter during her Classic season and was spelled following a solid third in the Gr.1 New Zealand Oaks (2400m). “She’s a staying filly and we’ll assess her as we go along this prep,” Foote said. “Obviously, she’s done a good job and she’s the same as The Odyssey, she’ll have a jump-out and then look to have a trial at Ellerslie.” View the full article
    • LMAO.  What a bunch of heroes.  What's your next campaign?  Ban two year old racing?  Force Owners to look after horses from the foaling paddock until they are 30?
