    • Interesting to see that Trackside NZ on there facebook page put this article out as a Sponsored post! (which means the pay so that it can be seen by more people) https://trackside.co.nz/article/george-simon-going-the-early-crow-catches-me-out-again?fbclid=IwY2xjawLUIbNleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETE0UUlPTHVUR25FSnk1RVRyAR7KPe5ZttkCdL1mOqQ-4TgnrUQzS8jmvV6Bxzynw1HDQ-0cCDq6vDu0NKls8A_aem_E5NIY-OjhhjXyanDvJ55oQ
    • i see that they have now corrected who won what stake money, the D'sq horses are now down as Nil.  the pulled up and the fallen horse both got $520
    • Exactly. Some worthy winners of course but the whole thing smacks of nepotism. Folks will not support people and organisations whose main aim in life is feathering their own nests. Is it really necessary for the expense of glitz and glamour.
    • maybe your right about the bookies nowornever. they don't seem to assess the form too good sometimes and really have ony themselves to blame for what appear betting plunges. last night at cambridge,Niamh in race 1  opened at $23 nd closed about $5.  ii looked at that the night before and thought,23/1,what were they thinking. unfortunately it was down to about 9/1 by the time i looked at it and even though i selected it based on its previous run,thought  $8 was about the right price and just backed it close to race start time on the tote,where it only paid $6 and $1.30. The place price again showing it doesn't pay to back anything on the tote because the tote place pools are too pathetic and you reduce the price with only relatively small bets.. I haven't studied these really big price drops on the ff enough,but from what i've seen it appears that the ones that they have way overs and get a lot of support early on,actually are noticed by all punters and they just jump on the band wagon anfd the horses eventually start slightlt unders,even if they do win. i know some punters have computer algorythms and use them to bet on based on win movers,i'm just not sure if that happens much in nz. apparently,going some people make a lot of money off racing making bets just based on that.if someone in nz was doing that,they would do ok on harness racing. mind you,if i had a computer algorythm,which i don't,i would make sure i hasd a part which excluded the whales tips,so as to avoid losing money betting on any of them. Not that he can't tip,he can,but his tips always pay unders. Like he tipped tuareg and i'm sure he was the reason it dropped from about $20 into around $4 last night.That made no sense whatsover based on recent form,yet punters seemed to latch on to that one. Having said that,it being so heavily restrained at the start like it was,meant punters who did back it would have lost hope after 250m.
    • Haha…. Yeah sorry about that example, but really where will it stop? I find the whole thing so inconsistent. And let’s face it, the whole gambling awareness shit is BS, if they were serious they would have stopped on line casinos, far more addictive than nags….then the dogs, going in NZ but don’t worry, you can still bet on them in Aus, I’m sure they are better treated and have zero injuries….
