    • Only the 1000 Guineas now
    • Depends on what you would judge as a good crowd Mikey. Cup Day at Addington used to attract 20k plus but in recent years maybe 7k?
    • Currently overseas and can not get the TAB website up due to the new policy brought in by the TAB and Entain! Just looked on HRNZ site and they are now showing the fixed odds on that! Think this is a great initiative and great to see how much I am missing out on while unable to wager when overseas! Do the odds get updated or is it only the opening odds?
    • Chief , I don't know what you're trying to achieve here. You have the Milkshaked one losing his Malts and not agreeing with anyone saying anything. I don't see Podcasts , but could read what the Lady Said about a couple of topics from what HESI kindly posted her early in this thread first page. Seems she is just waffling on about personal experiences she has had with her dogs , and horses , and that rather sad Kaikoura incident. like we all do from time to time at BOAY,  as life is full of experiences. most are good with the fine horses. but you get the odd sad/bad occasion that needs ADDressing There are awkward topics that people address like Curious with his whip stuff , and this lady with re-homing horses and the Malted Milkman wanting to weed out all the cheats. (some of which I pointed out for him have been weeded out and removed from the Industry a penalty term ) so racing is trying hard to stay 'clean' ? Because we ALL love the racing industry , and What is best for the horse. Just like you want great safe track surfaces , for the Jockeys and horses to race on (but no blinkers though lol😉) and everyone have a good time. It's gone a bit like Beehive Parliament , with them/everyone taking sides on issues , and bagging across the floor 🤣  .  Not our fault mate. People are looking for solutions to the problems. INCA had a look for ya. All good !!  First thing Bec said on that post of Hesi's was she wasn't Anti Racing , nor trying to get racing banned . So I don't know why you've Hackled up . like I said nothing wrong with people advocating Horse welfare.  They tried hard for us , so we should try hard for them. If they didn't try they're probably at Meramist  😋🙄 
    • We'll leave the Becks thing to one side, but I think you are grossly mis-reading the Chief. Probably has more thoroughbred connections than people realise, you don't get welcomed by Te Akau if you are anti-industry, I wonder what they think about Becks Nairn, that would be interesting wouldn't it.  He drives a strong but reasoned line, indicative of his intelligence, well above my pay grade.  I know my limitations when it comes to these chat sites and who not to tangle with lol He actually came and helped me out with my site, rang me up to tell me what was happening, didn't even realise he had my number as I had never talked to him before.  Now that could have been very awkward, because like many people I thought he was an arrogant, know it all dickhead.  Much to my surprise, he is actually a very decent bloke, totally belying his online persona. C'est la vie
