    • Well I agree with most of what you say.  Those races were TOO LONG at the 2 miles . The Aussie horses aren't good at it. never race it.  Also LEAP TO FAME can come from anywhere, over any distance, doing any work. (Cambridge race prime example)  and Merlin, and Republican Party, and Don't Stop Dreaming and Chase a Dream Didn't bother even turning up for New Zealand to exploit that fact.  the very horses that could pressure him. Pinseeker ??? nah 🤣 So the race was boring and the 3 horses along the trailing positions behind Leap To Fame picked up tens of thousands of dollars in place money without having to do anything. In the TROT, Bob Butt did the same. Just dropped in to a trailing position behind Arcee Phoenix instead of taking him on. his horse BET N WIN is a 2 mile winner (Rowe Cup) but took the 'easy way out' and let the Aussie dictate and run away. Maybe needed John Dunn driving it ? he has a real dig in the Big races with trotters. So the Interdominion racing went Exactly as Most experts predicted.  I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it . I thought Gus could win it , But the poor bugger has to come from the back every time, and bloody London To A Brick just got in the road of him and Oscar B, so they lost their chance in the last lap. Gus and OscarB must of made up near 8 lengths on Bet N Win in the last lap, so still good merit in 3rd and 4th. Winner was too good drawn the One Alley. the winning trainer driver Chris Svanosio, and his young stable junior Taylor Youl who you wouldn't know, but she is high up on the Victoria driving table with a stack of wins , are TROTTER specialists , racing mainly them like Williamsons do in NZ.   
    • I’ve now found myself investing a heap less on Aus racing on a Saturday…. and here is the main reason.    While betting on IPhone, Sportsbet supplied full or partial replay on most races, select a horse and watch straight away, real quick and valuable for a punter.    1, SB allowed EW multi bets together, NZ no. 2, SB allowed less than 5% exotic bets, great for huge quaddie pools, NZ no. 3, SB form guide fantastic. 4, NRL match offers, money back if any lose, TAB offer 1 leg lose, but can’t take more than one in game. 5, SB offered 3 race multi rescue, Betcha 4 races. 6, SB regularly gave money back if a horse missed start, gave money back on losing quads.  7, NBA offers, 2 leg multi, any lose bonus back No doubt others will remember these offers, certainly makes the dollars stretch more.    in fact, the best thing about Betch & TAB, when you withdraw its in your account quick…. It did take a few days to get from SB
    • How is NZ Racing being "propped up"?  The question is are they being paid fairly for the product they provide for punters? As for the NRL - Rugby League is clipping the ticket on TAB transactions in NZ through various avenues.  Are they being "propped up to"? If there was no racing and no sport what would you bet on?  Pokies and Casinos?  Who benefits from them?  
    • Here’s TAB promo, I assume everyone received it
