i agree with brodie in that the tab should accept larger bets from him. I believe,the tab/entain/betcha should be able to adjust their fixed prices,to reflect the support each runner has recieved from larger bets and therefore balance their books and not fear anyone. Of course they should have some limites,but not as small as they do. Of course they should have a time limit on when a larger bet can be accepted up to pre race,e.g. 15 minutes,so they can adjust their markets accordingly and limit any risk. i also believe they should reward people who put money through the tote pools by allowing them to get on more on ff.But they haven't,because they are dumb.I've explained many times how they actually cost themselves tens of thousands in profit from some punters because of there stupidity. people must understand that a winning punter on the ff,can still be a punter who's overall turnover on ff and tote,generates a profit for the tab. if people can't understand that,then they should apply for a job at the tab ,as that lack of understanding will fit in nicely at the tab. people who say the out the gate crew should not get preferential treatment,i don't agree with that. betcha giving bonus bets and accepting of the larger bets by the out the gate makes perfect sense to me. and the reason is simple. Its all about the big picture. Just as i have pointed out the tab are dumb as sometimes,the betcha out the gate model is smart and business savvy in my opinion. dividend (or payouts) from participation in each weeks out the gate show,are paid into peoples betcha accounts. betcha would recognise that the out the gate promotion is all about promoting punter participation,getting punters money in their betcha acounts ,knowing the punters will then themselves spend any payouts they receive from their weekly out the gate payout,and will very likely lose that over the following week or two.And its model that gets that punter particapiation at levels people can afford to lose,in other words a reasonable model for responsible gambling,making punting about what it is supposed to be for most,a bit of fun. at the end of the day,entain,betcha should all be about promting sustaibnable turnover so as to generate profits and give returns to the industry so it can maintain the likes of stakes. in my opinion,some of what betcha does id good and some of what the tab does is stupid. Theirs an inconsistency also in how they do things which highlights they are clever,but not as clever as they could be. -
No one is onto the Grand Circuit Champions of our sport yet. Bit of a shame as they are very impressive and shows just how the interest in the great sport has faded to just a personal level in NZ. (therefore dropping off a cliff) . Horse 1 / Leap to Fame , won the Christmas Cup over the weekend . was Win No.60 , (and has 12 x 2nds) from 77 lifetime starts. and now passes an incredible $6,000,000 earned. The Three previous Grand Circuit Champions are New-Zealnd bred beauties. All stallions at Stud now . Here is Horse 2 answer below. clue for Horse 3 and 4 from the opening to this thread, they were both Open Class trained horses in NZ? and both by Bettors Delight ?, like Leap To Fame is as well. Quiz answer to Horse 2 / is KING OF SWING . raced with North Island trainer Ray Green early in career , went on to be Grand Circuit Champion on 3 occasions from 2020-2022 , winning 3 Miracle Miles along the way for Luke McCarthy when he was sold across the Tasman. His first Crop of 2 year-olds will be racing 2026 🏆. will be great to see how they go !!. fingers crossed for some good un's. here is the great horse in winning action . finished his career at 44 wins from 82 starts and $3.3 mill. -

Really they broke 1:23 for 1400m and went 1:09 flat for 1200m on a G4? By the time the Pakenham Cup ran it was listed as a Good 4. -
Poor Rooky...after his G1 success and all of the acclamations...he goes and gets 3 suspensions for an annoying 3+ weeks holiday... just as the big races kick in over the winter holidays He might as well go back to a white Xmas back home instead of suffering on a white sand beach in the heat...Alley Palley's on and who wouldn't want a warm beer and darts v the other? And oh the ignominy...after Sunday's careless riding he gets told he has an appointment with the riding skills committee....will they also try to fix his penchant for flank whipping and strikes cheating to kill two birds..or is that 3? One minute you're up..nek minute you're drinking warm beers -
Looks to me Ashburton $60000 day has impacted significantly on this day, not smart in my opinion, the Cup race looks ok, the hanicapping system is creating a situation where anything over rating 55 is almost non existent in the South these days or maybe the present handicapped system is not fit for purpose as a rule. Westports been demoted to their Cup being a rating 46 Motukarara has the 50+ race yet yesterday Rangiora ran a 55 race with good numbers, something wrong somewhere.
