    • How did they go tonight? Saw some of it but they are very quiet when they arent going that well! I did hear that they were given $1k bonus cash to spend from BETCHA!! It is Very UNFAIR that BETCHA Continues to give this BONUS CASH of $1k each and every week and are allowed to wager what they want without a single restriction! Here is the thing though, BETCHA make these offers to punters matching  a deposit to your BETCHA account up to $200! Thats great you say and fair enough, HOWEVER IF YOU WIN, they will pull the plug on any future promotions, as it is not in BETCHA’s rulebook that you should be able to win when they have given you free money!!!! And yet OUT THE GATE continue to get  BONUS CASH  of at least $1k free every week?????? BETCHA trying to get people to wager by enticing you to deposit to your account, however be aware you are not allowed to be winning or they take their bat and ball home and promise no more promotions for you!  Betcha you are a gambling agency and to my mind you need to tske the good with the bad, but no you just want losing punters!  
    • Hastings! So Important in the Spring..  up until the last few season perhaps the most sucessful organic new thing to come into being in the last 40 years.. I really enjoyed working there in the early 90's! Top Horse! Great Betting races!  Then the horse went over the ditch and were successful!  I wonder how many of the Spring G1's will be given back to them?  
    • i've tuned in to watch  3 races tonight at cambrdige. race 3,the favorite broke about 40m before the start and hindered the 2 horses who started behind it,but no false start and not even an inquiry to late scaratch the two checked.Thats north island oversight for you.Nothing knew about that. then i watched race 5.Son of patrick started a $2.10 favorite and just sat last on a ridiculously slow pace and given its very one paced and a  grinding type,,it apeared it wasn't trying. Dion't know whether it was,but it certainly didn't look like it... Then the 3rd race i watched ,race 6. A white tells the boys on out the gate that they should be putting half their pool on leo lincoln to win.White thought it was a certainty. the out the gate crew showed restraint and didn't blow half their pool,just $1500 on it win. How A white could ever tip anything n delany drives is a mystery.Yet he said it was a good thing.As i've pointed out before,you always  put a line through anything n delany drives.Delany does have an unccanny ability,but its to stop anything he drives. And well beaten it was.i'm jiust telling it as it is.  
    • Dennis Yip Chor-hong’s Dubai plans for Fast Network remain up in the air, with the classy sprinter set for Sunday’s Class One Essex Handicap (1,200m) at Sha Tin before a decision is finalised next week. Dubai Racing Club officials invited connections of Fast Network to run him in the Group One Al Quoz Sprint (1,200m) on March 28, but there is uncertainty surrounding the current conflict in Iran and the Middle East. Hong Kong-based jockey Karis Teetan and trainer Chris So Wai-yin were stranded in...View the full article
    • Te Akau’s black type troops will be out in force on Saturday with leading hopes chasing down elite level honours and a quartet of contenders in the hunt for the richest purse on offer at Ellerslie. Unbeaten filly Lara Antipova (Russian Revolution) will start a short-priced favourite in the Gr.1 Sistema Stakes (1200m), although trainers Mark Walker and Sam Bergerson also expect a bold showing from stablemate Out Of The Blue (NZ) (Tivaci). An uncharacteristic last-start failure aside, Towering Vision’s (NZ) (Circus Maximus) form entitles him to respect in the Gr.1 HKJC World Pool NZ Derby (2400m) while To Bravery Born (NZ) (Snitzel), La Dorada (NZ) (Super Seth), He Who Dares (NZ) (Snitzel) and Belle Cheval (NZ) (Savabeel) represent the stable in the $4 million NZB Kiwi (1500m). Russian Revolution’s daughter Lara Antipova has been untested to win all three of her starts and is blessed with an ideal gate (four) in what looms as her sternest test to date. “She has gone right-handed and left-handed, on good tracks and a heavy track,” Bergerson said. “She keeps raising the bar and wasn’t overly suited by the conditions last time at Matamata where class got her through. “She is an incredibly sharp filly who can switch up gears at the drop of a hat. She saves it all for race day, so we are really excited about her and she’s a really strong winning chance.” Out Of The Blue has won two of his five starts and struggled with the track conditions when a last-start runner-up in the Gr.3 Matamata Slipper (1200m). “We thought he would get through the ground and he travelled into it nicely and Craig (Grylls) said when he let his head go, he went up and down on the spot,” Bergerson said. “He’s the most experienced horse in the field and that will hold him in good stead.” Towering Vision was tracking along perfectly toward the Derby before he tailed the field home in the Gr.2 Avondale Guineas (2100m). “We were so pleased with him heading in and confident, so we were scratching our heads,” Bergerson said. “He was vetted on the day, and we got him home and ran all possible tests, he’s as bright as a button and we can’t fault him. “Maybe he just had an off day, we’ve put a line through it and his previous form was very good. It’s an open Derby and he worked with the Wexford runner Yamato Satona (NZ) (Satono Aladdain) on Tuesday and the work was super so fingers crossed he can bounce back.” Te Akau’s Kiwi contingent have all pleased but Bergerson acknowledged the task ahead to lower the hot pot’s colours. “We’re really proud of the team and fantastic to have four in the race, they’ve all got there on their merits with different form lines,” he said. “Well Written (Written Tycoon) is there and she’s certainly the benchmark and the one to beat. We’re going in as underdogs, but we’re excited and just hope our four get some luck and get their chances.” While Bergerson is loath to split his runners, Belle Cheval narrowly gets the nod as top seed following consecutive Group Three victories in the Uncle Remus Stakes (1400m) and Almanzor Trophy (1200m). “The interesting thing is the set weights and penalties, some get in better than others and La Dorada has to carry that 3kg penalty and even To Bravery Born has to carry 58.5kg,” Bergerson said. “You’d probably say Belle Cheval is the one who really keeps stepping up and getting better and better. “I do think He Who Dares is way over the odds, he’s drifted because of the barrier draw (13) but if he is able to get across without doing too much work then he’ll give a great sight.” Earlier in the day, high-quality mare Quintessa (NZ) (Shamus Award) will resume in the Gr.2 Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Classic (1400m). “She’s going really well and I know people watch her trials sometimes and get a bit disheartened, but she’s been the same the whole way through and waits until the blinkers go on,” Bergerson said. “She’s had two trials and an exhibition gallop, it’s an even field and she has to lug that Group One penalty but we’re sure she’s going to run really well.” View the full article
