    • Catastrophic flash flooding struck the Ruidoso, New Mexico area Tuesday night, washing away homes and businesses and causing significant damage to Ruidoso Downs. Several feet of water submerged the track and backside area with social media videos showing people and horses alike trying to escape through the torrent. Local reports indicate the Rio Ruidoso river rose to over 20 feet in under an hour in a remarkable, record-breaking flood event, the second Ruidoso has seen in as many years in an area already impacted by wildfire burn scars. CNN reported that at least three people, including two children, were killed in the flooding Tuesday. The Daily Racing Form reported that the rest of the track's 2025 meet, which was scheduled to conclude in September, has been called off with track owner Johnny Trotter telling DRF “We can't run at Ruidoso again this year. We can't put it back together.”   The National Weather Service office in Albuquerque put the Ruidoso area under a Flood Watch Tuesday morning around 9:00 a.m. local time, stating that “A Flood Watch for Flash Flooding is in effect below the recent burn scars around Ruidoso today. Another round of showers and thunderstorms will be capable of producing locally heavy rainfall on already saturated ground.” The Ruidoso area is heavily prone to flash flooding, especially since the Salt and South Fork wildfires tore through the town last summer. The Quarter Horse track, which runs annually from May through September, is in the midst of racing with a 10-race card scheduled for Friday and two Grade I events on the calendar for Saturday. This flood comes nearly one year to the date after flash flooding over a burn scar ran through portions of the track last July. Ruidoso just completed repairs from that flood event in April. This story will be updated.

    • Anyone serious about live betting would have a Betfair account. Better odds, low takeouts, and for main markets the pools are huge, but best of all the never get suspended.    Sportsbet had live options but you had to ring to place bets, which was a hassle and I never did. So at least NZ has live betting, just getting suspended is the problem
    • Myself and and a few mates have opened Betcha from start…. slowly the promotions are getting less….unless your into boxing.    What are the differences?  Odds, majority bet types, App, deposit, withdrawal all the same.    Betcha- Offer boxing promos and sport mainly, I do get 2nd & 3rd back first 6 races on the 2 harness meetings on a Friday which I like, then usually same on a few meetings Sat. Can take less than 5% units on exotic bets , although at fixed odds it’s a gamble that they pay more than TAB, although I have had good collects when Quaddie pools are small at TAB and fixed odds over on Betcha. Also get bet returns and SGM 1 leg loses offers, good thing about this is you can use on any sport / racing. Offers on dogs too. No tote betting, Fixed or SP   TAB- Promos have basically stopped for me, except the first 2 races 2nd,3rd promotions. They offer SGM all ups but that’s about it, same old boring shit compared to Sportsbet.  Their Odds Surge pops up, but really their odds are usually so poor early on that it’s hard to find any overs, majority of time odds better close to jump. Also hop onto the BGP site to see what boys have labelled, the sheep on there punt on it regardless of chance…. TAB reacts quickly so usually getting unders. For the record, not had a bet with TAB for several weeks… don’t intend to
