    • I am sure the tote pools would have been good at Mot today as they always are at this Xmas meeting. They always get a great crowd when the weather is reasonable, that is not raining! From Trackside viewing It appeared  the crowd was not as big as many other years but then again it wasnt all that sunny, so some may have stayed home? Most oncourse would be not regular punters and therefore were probably betting on the tote rather than fixed odds! Still maintain that turnover could double what they are currently taking on harness racing, if they were to be accepting wagering from the punters that want to offload, rather than restricting them to significantly low amounts! What are they scared of, as the odds are always in their favour?        
    • The stars of racing took centre stage as the Longines International Jockeys’ Championship and Hong Kong International Races highlighted a huge month. The Post analyses the jockeys and trainers who had a month to remember or one to forget, as well as the most outstanding victory and winning ride. Who’s hot? While big names like Zac Purton (nine wins), Hugh Bowman (seven) and James McDonald (seven) had productive months, there were a couple of mid-table jockeys who struck form despite limited...View the full article
    • the tote turnovers for todays motukarara meeting appeared to be very good. The turnover will have been miles better than they will get for the upcoming auckland trotting cup metting. you would know more than me about the ff restrictions they put on people,but as you mentioned in a recent thread they seem to be accepting big bets of $5000 on horses that you scratch your head about. back to the hrnz website,it really is poor when you comapre it to the galloping website. They can be an hour or two putting up replays yet the gallops website always has it after about 10 minutes. the continual breakdowns of the hrnz website must be costing the harness industry in turnover.just how much,you could only guess,but you would think quite a lot. Its really strange that hrnz has not fixed it as its gone on for so long now.Most  would think it should be a top priority,but i guess it is hrnz.Thats part of the reason people wonder about them. But its not just hrnz. i was a customer of meridian energy in recent years. i chose them because their website was so easy to follow. well  about 3 months ago meridian energy said they upgraded their website. What a disaster that was for meridian energy. their new website i couldn't follow at all and to top it off,a few weeks payments just went missing in their system. When i rung up and complained ,they just said,yes we know,we are gettiing on to it straight away. Apparently the payments had disappeared into a black hole in their new system and they took a couple of months to work out where and how to get them back on peoples accounts.. I just changed power companies.  i wonder if hrnz uses the  same website making firm as meridan.
    • I see, Race 1.  There were riders who rode later in the day but, can't have been in a hurry to be on track for the first.  That sort of thing is more usual on a jumping day.
    • Galah, they are not worried at increasing turnover! They are not wanting punters offloading on harness racing they are wanting losing punters who are not wagering significant amounts! They are not prepared to accept bets of any note and I am constantly hearing of punters receiving nowhere what they want to wager! The decision to sell out to Entain who have no idea about racing by McAnulty, is going to massively back fire on racing. Is anyone getting good amounts on fixed odds consistently??
