Even if I was pissed T I would make far more sense than you. Hang in there T, everyone needs a good laugh, most of your posts are great comedy.

Thomass our resident expert on after the event punting has so kindly given us many a great after the event theories, of which Mardigras has kindly started testing one, its worth noting a few of these ideas in the one place for us all to have a quick reference point. Key things to watch for: Blinkers on first time or Blinkers off first time - depends on the race outcome. Winkers - same as above. Tongue Tie - same as above. Hoof Pads - same as above. Nasal Strip - same as above. Ring Bit - same as above. Crossover nose band - same as above. Sorry its a bit of an exhaustive list that goes on a bit more yet. Down in Grade - but only in last 18 months & mid week does or doesn't count, depends on race outcome. 4kg kid riders in heavy going - depends on race outcome. There are more I am sure, please add to them to help us all achieve more - TEAM.

Yes, did you see how much the winner had been smacked early in the market and then drifted out. UBet still had him at $13 fixed. Paid $65sp on Betfair. & was $45 NSWTAB

Hey Thomass, yes I did back it & I took mid tote as it was unders at $15 early, I expected it to drift out to $25 or more. Ended up getting $20.20 on mid div.

Just imagine going to a Restaurant with him and he orders a Medium Rare Steak, NO not that Medium Rare, the other one, the Well Done one, but not that Well Done, the Rare one, but Blue. What a fark stick he is.

Fark off loons, the food at Te Rapa is the best its ever been, & yes the feedback was given and hot chips are on the menu.

Thats bullshit Hesi, did you see the sand at MV yesterday. More sand at MV than at Piha. Its all to do with the rail placement, the further out the rail at Te Rapa the tougher it is for backmarkers to make headway. With these extra Ellerslie meetings they are sticking the rail out a bloody mile and its making for tough racing for anything further back that than the first 4.

Those who piled the sand on at Te Rapa have absolutely farked the track for the rail to be out. Leave the rail in the true position please, the wider you come at Te Rapa the worse it is.

It is a bit of a case of dammed if you do or don't scr. I have had 2 late scr that I have owned that the Trainer couldn't find a single thing wrong, costs shitloads to take a horse to the races so if it appears ok would rather this happened than scr for little reason.

Bloody he'll, hoof pads on is even better. Why has Thomass kept this from us all?.

Mardigras, I think I have found another interesting link that Thomass has missed, These horses 2nd up after being Gelded seem to win frequently. Gelded 2nd up appears much more reliable than Winkers on first time.

Hey T Please can you advise how many of the total number of runners last weekend ran with Blinkers/Winkers? what was the %. I know as I looked at it to prove to you that you are a complete fool (We all knew already anyway), if you just take into account the shear % chance factor alone it makes you looking farking silly. Now run along, your mammy has your cot ready.

T will tell us all on Monday what was a sure result for first try scorer.

Trouble is T, you can't coach what you don't know. Your posts suggest you know nothing.

Race 6 #12 La Foi Big longshot hope, & yes Thomass I am set on it at $81 prior to the race.

Be even better if you throw them up before the race T.

The question I have weasel is why does Thomass go missing every weekend? It he connected to the racing industry? Like a journo? or comments?. Similar abilities. Or is he just a loon whose jacket is locked on tight for the weekend.

It's going in at existing, training and race day. Typical half arse NZ way.

Here's exactly what NZ racing should be doing. 1) Aggressively target the mid week and weekend Corporate entertainment market. Businesses are constantly looking for client events to take customers too, Rugby is often targeted but its expensive and more often than not means a reduced number attend to save cost. There is a real shortage of things to take corporate customers too esp in winter. For a similar cost you can take along double the number to a midweek racing event. Its significantly better than Rugby as it lasts longer & easier to get around all your customers that are invited. Offer them for repeat bookings in the future, Betting vouchers/Drinks whatever. Many marketing/hosting organisers have no idea racing is even on, pound them with emails/letters etc. Figure out who key influencer's are who take plenty to hosting events and offer them some incentive to encourage other businesses to do similar. I have recently been involved in a few racing event planning and the difficulty in finding info/whom to contact/etc & then the written material supplied is abysmal. 2) Review the club structure. Responsibility for terrible food choices on race day rests here, we need to move this into the 21st century. Clubs that I have been to in the last 12 months that are sub-standard are, Rotorua, Te Aroha, Te Awamutu, Wanganui, Hastings, Hawera. In the ok category is Tauherenikau, Matamata, Taupo, New Plymouth, Whakatane, Tauranga, Trentham, In the superior category: Riccarton, Timaru, Te Rapa, Ellerslie, Awapuni, Woodville. If little old Woodville can have decent coffee, food that's eatable & looks fresh and safe to eat then its clearly not that hard a thing to achieve. If you want to move corporate hosting forward then this is one place to start. 3) Clubs board members to show some interest. I have lost count of how many board members wander around meetings thinking their shit doesn't stink and wouldn't lower themselves to talk to race goers or introduce themselves to sponsors or business hosts, there are few other businesses that would let the best marketing opportunity evade them. Too many of these people think racing exists for them when the opposite is true. Its a huge turnoff to be a sponsor and have your 2 mins of fame after your race to then to be completely ignored after, along with prior, no wonder its a scratch around to find sponsors. 4) Innovation. Think of innovative ways to get the names of many race goers/corporate attendees etc, fire them out an email/text thanking them for coming and looking forward to seeing them again in the future. Ask them if they have a TAB account, qualifies them for a 100% matched deposit up to $100 say. 5) Information. On Track and in TAB's, where is the information about how to get involved, approx costs, how little a 5% share in a horse costs, the fun that can be had, etc. Just a few thoughts on a boring Sunday with no NZ gallops, why the fark is gallops not on every Sunday staggers me.

There you go Thomass, 8 bets for a $34 winner.

Keep it Savy, great win for you then Thomass, blinkers on. You can claim it on Monday when the ward lets you back on the net.

Yes, great spotting Mardigras, Blinkers would have been the thing that swayed you.

Inflationary is his punting ability & intelligence.
