  1. In all of the races Forbury mentions the horses that won either had better draws or were simply the best horse on the day IMO
  2. It’s not Entains responsibility to spend 10s of millions bailing out racing clubs. Putting the money they put into The Race into Auckland instead would only pay the interest for a few weeks.
  3. Also, the first horse to win the bonus on the first 2 year old race at Addington this season left the country without starting again. Perhaps they should pay the bonus at the end of the season with the proviso that the horse has to still be in the country when the bonus is paid.
  4. I found Rennels comments cringeworthy. Greyhounds need to find someone who can represent them competently in the media.
  5. Dead right Galah. I’ve been advocating for a jackpot bet for years. A bet that would potentially be a life changer for anyone who won it. I see it as possibly being a pick 9 or pick 10. It would see an influx of new betting. Trying to get anyone in a position to do anything about it, to understand this seems nigh on impossible.
  6. I have to say we’ve had our fair share of false starts from the mobile tonight
  7. As much as I would on any race. Fair enough but in the USA it’s virtually all mile racing. In NZ we are talking about a couple of races a week at the most on suitable tracks as part of a variety of distances.
  8. As an enthusiast I love mile racing. Not at Addington of course or on grass tracks but love it on tracks like Nelson, Ashburton & Winton. I wouldn’t want it to be like the USA but a couple of mile races on suitable tracks per meeting adds to the variety of distances we compete over. Particularly valuable for mares & fillies races.
  9. Probably should have combined the two meetings into one
  10. Wouldn’t you think they would have interviewed him on Trackside? Any other NZ world champion would be all over the main stream media. Very poor coverage & great opportunity gone begging.
  11. The decision to put Captain Hammerhead back to last is so plainly absurd I think an enquiry needs to be initiated into the stewards actions and if there is corruption involved on their part.
