No as race 2 was won by Gibbs. Stop being a wanker, its the end result that counts. its a local benefit meeting every time, so biased to leaders and locals its not funny.

Firstly Hesi, I never back anything for a place & my bet size is significantly larger than your $2

Despite having a $41 collect today in race 8 I find myself struggling to watch the racing. Its absolutely farcical the racing there, its just a bullshit fest to fill local pockets.

Absolutely incredible

Here are the ones I am taking today at big odds awa R03 1 Zedeedudadeeko awa R06 8 Magicella awa R08 2 Bayrum rua R02 9 Regal Dancer rua R07 10 Rich Billie Marsh rua R08 9 Garland rua R09 13 Kyrie Eleison

Known for running into the arse of others left of centre track.

Misery Guts as I said. Be bloody proud of the guy for christs sake.

What a misery guts you are. Typical kiwi knocking machine in action.

There are a number of reasons for it Hesi, many of which are not racing’s doing or under there control. Go to a club rugby game and see how that has dwindled to almost zero. NPC and Ranfurly Shield is dead or dying. Fishing is another hobby in massive decline, I used to go about 20 times a year minimum, now I haven’t been in 6 months. 1) Can’t be bothered, 2) To time consuming, 3) Over fished and boring. Golf is in terminal decline, for similar reasons, was all the rage 15 yrs ago (thanks to Tiger Woods). I am certain that ultimately Racing is terminal, whatever decisions are made it’s a delay of the inevitable. I also think that with our stronger rural connection that we might just about out live Australia. The changing social fabric there is rapid and it will have an impact on racing.

I was down on the grass at the 2100 start and couldn't believe the noise you fellas were making when it crossed the line, I thought rather popular for a short priced winner. Good on you. & yes what an incredibly pathetic crowd for such a beaut day in the sun.

The win by The Big Opal was the highlight of the weekend, huge effort the whole race. The run by That’s David to come back for 2nd when looking well beaten before the turn just shows what a tough horse he is, the run defied his age and the number of times he has gone around. I am so looking forward to seeing him again in the 3210mtr race at New Plymouth. Peaceful in the 2yr old at Te Rapa looks something very special. One horse I spotted yesterday at Te Rapa that took my eye was Big Mike, what a sensational looking animal he is.

Of course Thomass, 80% of all races are won by horses on the pace. Now again please tell me which horse is going to be leading so I can back it. Surely with such a bias you can eliminate 90% of the field as no chance.

Did they get to the races in a float or truck? How long before the races is also of importance. When was their last shoe change? I think you will find Thomass that those changed within the last 7 day esp in heavy going out perform.

There is a free version mate, but the paid version is $35 per month which I have. its superior to anything else you will have seen. http://www.dynamicodds.com/

Poor old Thomass, the Princess is getting her Friday night 4hr torture(treat) from him, she would rather be watching David Seymour on dancing with the stars than being trapped and bored shitless with Thomass talking about Kelvin Davis’s achievements, hang on there isn’t any.

Really?what it just won’t load or what? I have zero issues with it, I have the latest version and works a treat.

Nope Newmarket, I use dynamic odds to place 90% of my bets. Can compare all prices in one location, mind you with some of those shitbag Aussie corps I am onto my 3rd or 4th set of friends accounts. Pricks.

I don't have that issue, works perfectly fine for me. Maybe its a locality thing, you guys down south are still on 2G aren't you?. Have you got EFTPOS down there yet?.

Whats actually wrong with it, works perfectly fine for me. I will be sitting in grandstand tomorrow at Te Rapa and all day i will be referring to it for fixed and tote odds.

To help you out Thomass these are my 4. 4,2,3,8

Ok Thomass, since you have knowledge about the leaders bias at Te Rapa now, Please tell us all who is going to lead and why in race 5 tomorrow. I have an idea who might down to about the nearest 3-4, but you tell us who it is please.

Blinkers on Thomass as he is known

Exactly as Rod says above.

We agree on something Thomas, that harness racing is a farce. Its crap for punters & its terribly boring.

Fella's we also need a touch of realism here, many of us can't afford to spend 6 figures on a horse, therefore in all probability its rather likely to be confined to non peak season of racing in this country, winter. For as long as I can remember in NZ it rains a fair bit in winter and the drying of my lawn is rather slow, now in many parts of Eastern Aust its doesnt rain the same as it does here and they have many more drying days than we do. Now couple that info up with us sitting back watching Metro Aussie racing (HK or Singapore) and bearing in mind fark all of those horses going around are under $20k, we have a totally different ownership/racing model, those owners have every right to see there horses going around as much as the $100k + ones in summer here in NZ. Notwithstanding, yes we have every right to demand more money spent on tracks and surfaces to get them to a higher standard. Now I can recall in the early 90's watching racing from Riccarton, Te Rapa, Trentham & so on running in far worse conditions than seen in the last few days, today we have become a bit soft & more acclimatised to lavish Australian surfaces that for the life of us we will struggle to replicate. We can do much better agreed, but however the constant sooking about something that has been similar for decades is rather tiring.
