    • it will be interesting,once the new law comes into effect, how much more will be bet through the tab on racing and sports and how that will flow through into increased returns for racing here. hopefully the positive impacts will far outweigh the negative for example a hegative impact could be there are nz people who also have tabcorp accounts and bet into their tote pools.Given they are not big at the moment,any decrease would mean their pools would get to a point where they are very unattactive for aussies to bet on. I used to spend on a tabcorp account just so to spread the impact of even a $20 or more bet on the price. so its not as if you start transferring that spend onto a small nz pool.. Hopefully it all turns out as they are predicting.
    • Timaru Track Inspection   Due to significant rain received at Phar Lap raceway over the past week there will be a track inspection at around noon on Saturday. An update will be posted off the back of that meeting.  
    • At the end of the day, there is nothing we can do about how it is going to pan out! I have had plenty to say, and hopefully the new CEO from Entain can step up and be more hands on with the way the cash splash is handled. Not being personal but It appears that the ones that have been making the decisions for harness are struggling with the task? No media BS is going to change things, it needs someone prepared to look at it as a business and operate it as such, as the money is going to run out.    
    • I don't need to wake up thanks . I'm not in the race. I have that many whip tales i could write chapters on it. Yes horses racing and gambling is prone to cheating as you say  . we see only a fraction of what really is happening , that is the REAL  cheating though  . we all know Fine Cotton and that sort of thing. but ......... Every race (like those Grand Tour Cyclists who gets away with things for so long) their is Deliberate Chemical enhancement of a horse's chances, and I can tell you there are a few 'Dubious tactics ' employed to get horses to the post in 'Winning Order' . you have no idea what real cheating is. Positives are being overturned by the Juggernaut stables now as they have ways (and lawyers and BS)  to cover their tracks a lot lately.  you pick out a Single drive in Formula One as an example, BUT the bloke drives tons of races under extreme pressure (and G forces) of course you are going to calculate an error at times. or even drive angry lol 😂 Opie may have had a selfish dangerous ride you mention but i've seen Tommy Berry and Hugh Bowman (you talk experience shouldn't do it ) BUT they committed such dangerous acts at Randwick recently, their rival jockey was on the ground nearly killed and the horse they were riding was killed. It happens that way occasionally,  and sadly.  I haven't been in races with these jockeys , nor know their attitude. but do know it is ONE of the TOUGHEST Sports gigs going.  A few whip strikes (when horses Can't even count) makes Fuckall difference to them. they're tired anyway.  Michael Walker deliberately over did the whip in Melbourne Cup (twice) to run a place and had $10,000 fine. It's the heat of the moment and BIG races and little races . you're gunna go for it mate. you're just not gunna sit up and start counting.   BUT Yes you have to try and improve your technique (no matter what experience) to fit in with the current guidelines.Jumping on a chaff bag in the tuck room is a good way for the jockeys to practice. Perhaps you could join in and help them to count ?? while you're awake .   
    • Unfortunately that's what the restrictions have become. If you look likely there might be a chance you are possibly able to make money in anyway shape or form in Australia they will cut you off. It was only a matter of time before that happened here as well.
