What chance tomorrow? Second fav and not much to beat. Not much luck with draw but big track and gun jock. Track too firm? It’s her big chance to finally pick up a group win. As track unlikely to be soft be hoping for at least 6 bucks. -
they could spend it on thoroughbreds I spose. 🙄 But that would be no no no good to ya. and harness racing NZ. Thankfully Ladbrokes put on QLD racing (Ladbrokes is a subsidiary of Entain) and we don't bet much on the 'Boring' racing here. the fields are too even with the rating system. It's just 500-600 participants making a living virtually. So even though QLD harness is running at a betting loss we still use the ENtain money to run the Interdominion each Winter and a whole host of Group 1' s (just in July and Dec as that's the budget we have) . the 2 Interdominions are worth $1.5 million between them . BUT WE don't say DISGRACE and WASTE of FUNDING , even though the whole lot is funded by Queensland racing (and not the participants like the slot races) just because in ALL likelihood LEAP TO FAME and KKEAYANG ZAHARA will Win the 2 Interdominions and will Stifle the betting. We have the races Still !! and enjoy and Don't call it a disgrace or Recklessness . a bit like the progressive HRNZ introducing the great slot racing to Addington past 2 years as well to really sell the great harness product. I guess it's in the approach you have as a doomsayer . how's your Bunker going. get it as deep as Brodie yet 😋 -
Betcha started out as if they were going to be more user friendly than the standard TAB site! However they dont now appear to be heading in the right direction in several respects! When you receive advice from them that they no longer are going to offer any promotions to you just because you arent a losing punter then that is less than average. Yes they are there to make money for the industry I appreciate that, however when their advice to you is not correct, you can tell that they are not travelling well!!!!!! -
Well they're just preparing for some fabulous Autumn racing . Here's the article. Track All done up with new surface ready to go. Plenty of Group racing. Gunna be epic !! hope you enjoy. Only one kiwi tackling the Miracle Mile qualifiers this week ? . PINSEEKER with Jonny Cox . The same bloke who was the only one Brave enough to go to the Interdominion last year ( Chapman's did send their Pacer to McCarthy to have a go thought. Beach Ball . so credit to them too for having a go too) So should be plenty of horses in NZ harness racing to cheer on next few weeks . Messenger, Taylor Mile and that . Choc's and Marketplace and Rubira clashes. gunna be a ripper. It's the first time the track has been re-surfaced since 2023 when major flooding prompted a complete reconstuction. "I am very grateful to the Auckland Trotting Club and Red Contracting for their help in getting the job done so efficiently," says Denton. Alexandra Park's meeting tomorrow night kick-starts the new Northern Lights Autumn Carnival which will see 13 Group 1s and nearly $5m in feature race stakes on offer between March and May at the Park and Cambridge Raceway.

Gamma, I really do admire you rose-tinted glasses. Yes, the 7 slot holders put in $30k each, but although I was never much good at maths, that only comes to $210K.So to say HRNZ only puts in a small amount to a $500k stake is simply wrong. Nobody likes watching super horses race more than me, as I've been doing for around 60 years, but I'm a realist and, as it stands, the race will be boring and very expensive for a game that can't afford either. I could send the rest of the day outlining the better ways that the Entain money could be spent, but others on here have already done it on here.
