So same return as backing a $1.50 placegetter?

Haha ... yeah right!

Youre certainly a ready made sucker when it comes to this stuff CS, so you'll love their latest excuse .

You can hardly expect them to care with the way the industry treats them over tracks, 2 in the last 3 days off. Who'd want to be a rider. Don't worry they'll suffocate it all out with stories of big Dave buying yearlings, Warren Kennedy being thankful for being in NZ, the huge resurgence in the industry that everyone is apparently talking about , BGP getting the red carpet treatment from the industry which they of course do out of the love of their hearts, moan some more about JMac not being in the Halbergs etc etc etc ... then hold you down till you admit that you've never in all your life looked forward to anything more than KM night at the new Ellerslie!

No jocks want to ride the next day , all out partying after KM and everyone is off to the sales which are on tomorrow. Besides that if the jocks were going to ride next day, most of the jocks from today wouldn't get a ride.

Not presented cause it simply isn't what they want it to be.

The trouble is the wrong tracks are identified, there is no equitable or fair manner undertaken. The tracks are chosen based on nothing more than nepotism in the training & breeding ranks.

Are you saying they put the good ones on there?

Especially not when you have jocks on retainers like several do.

The Open at Trentham clearly hit by the KM meeting tbf

What so buy DE & Bosma flops?

There isn't any , its all smoke and mirrors . That Waipuk meeting has lost all of its character and charm since moving to Hastings, just another meeting now or more to the point a nothing meeting.

You say this the day after one of the chosen venues has fallen over again, in fact on numerous occasions this venue amongst several of the other chosen venues. Youre showing yourself to be ignorant of the machinations of the industry by coming on here spouting this dribble, most of us have heard it all before and its just complete nonsense.

Same old nonsense spouted by people who know nothing about how the industry works. There are no savings,there are no benefits in closing down venues the industry is a fluid animal not a stagnant pole and it needs all the tracks and resources it can get. You'd think that would be obvious by now , but unfortunately it isn't. We had one of the worse CEO of NZracing a few years back who spouted this very nonsense .

Those Jocks are only getting some of their own medicine , it might be good for them. They don't mind shafting the little guy for the very people who are shafting it to them at Ellerslie tomorrow night.

If that helps you sleep at night you stick with that story, happens to often in the same places for me to buy that BS.

Absolutely it is , but the stable in question should cop a hefty ban ... time for all the BS excuses to be laughed out of town. Especially the one I've heard for this one.

They will do exactly what the KM has done to the pattern, nzracing will eat itself mark my words.

Apparently the cattle troughs have been up to no good, so of course they are waiting till after the KMs.

The dummies have never realised this, ignoring the foundations of the industry has led to the staffing crisis that exist now and will worsen considerably more so in the future.

Compared to previous years there doesn't seem to be the matchups there has been in the past.

Coolmore strike again https://www.racenet.com.au/news/coolmore-set-to-snap-up-magic-millions-winner-storm-boy-in-deal-worth-as-much-as-50m-20240123?fbclid=IwAR0BITwz9DqoA1W3-r5m6LJ6pM4dDXYARZsHRTdaY0mwUsGHL9hJOOgVCPE Another by a resident Coolmore Sire ... "you cannot make it up"! ... cause they are!

Where is the Railway Day positive? Is it being withheld so someone can race at Karaka without the attention?

I thought for the first time in a few years the fields are a bit on the ho hum side , usually some decent match ups but take out the hype & the amazing Legarto & there isn't a lot of substance there.

Huge for racing wouldn't you say.
