Yip agree. Im pretty much over lockdown now. Stay home. Home, home, home, boring, boring. Im a swing voter too. So might change my vote. Lets see what happens re Cup Week, South Island & Auckland. Hoping not level 3 for any LONGER beyond next Wed!

Yes its soooo much better when its entertaining & FUN & not argue argue. Oh dear Honest John, lets hope this thread stays fun & ENTERTAINING. Story sharing is fun.

Agree, peeps up here starting to get the feeling the mood is shifting. Tolerance to being in lockdown is wearing thin. Fingers crossed Cup week gets Level 1 but yeah agree doesn't look promising. Yeah sure, not ALWAYS, but sure yip from time to time. However today, asked Poster M if he would not maybe you missed that POST, even PMed him shortly after to request not to. In which he has AGREED on this thread. Then you have come on here & continue it on. So a bit rude. Its just going to end up in a BIG shit fight between the 3 of you, in which you are already engaged in a fight on another thread. What happened with the Poster M thing was that he alluded to who he was on a galloping thread a number of months back. By saying he was the secretary or working at a meeting that day. I did not know who that would be. Then Brodie come on months later & said on a trot thread, re JAIL & POKIE thing. (Crossed a line as far as Im concerned). That is when I guessed. Poster M, confirmed to me that was who it was private. POSTER M, has his grumpy pants on with Brodie for some reason, & I have pulled him up about that multiple times, then Brods goes on saying on this thread community service work blah blah. Im sorry but that is just crap. It crosses a line again. Then you outright named him, when NOT ALL would be aware or could be bothered looking things up. Iv never called you a Cockwomble. You actually do a lot of things that peeps are unaware of behind the scenes. That peeps would prob respect & be appreciative re this website.

Chief. Waste my time starting this bloody thread. Going to end up going to the VENT!

Poster M, oh no. Please stop right there 😞, trying to steer the thread back to topic 😃, was fun yesterday, we talked about, lawn mowing & cray cray peeps, fish n chips shops, Europe Trips, Netflix show, vaccine, Arden, perverts, Hei Hei, you name it we chatted about it. But today lets get back to subject 👍

To get back to topic thought Id do a quick update on Road to Cup. An interview on radio Senz, Green told Guerin that Copy That will race once only in North next week Spring Cup as long as it gets off the ground, then head South. Approx 4 other Northern hopes have already ventured South & are lining up this week. Purdon was also interviewed & said that Self Assured is big & round lol going into race this week, but with 2-3 runs under his belt prior Cup by Cup should be screwed down. Majestic Man is back in the trot as is Sundees Son. So some nice re-matches coming up, as Majestic Man gets a 10 metre advantage.

Sounds excellent for Fashion in the fields Cup Day Attire. With respect, if one wears attire that resemblances that of a friend of a friend of the late Queen Mother’s attire, then would blend in perfectly in the F in the F comp. Might even win. Thats great Gospel you had no side effects.

Hey Honest John, yes read somewhere you are off to Europe soon. So can't be doing too badly 👍 Sounds fantastic! Yeah this area is by no means low social economic INFACT there are some BIG banging houses around. The car that pulled up looked like someone from not in area. There is quite a bit of construction going on around the place around many streets too. To get in, you would have to folk out well over 1 million. Nice to make your online BOAY acquaintance 😃 Righto logging off folks. Got some Netflix to watch. PS watched this doco last nite, the car race driver M Schumacher. What a sad tale. Worth a watch.

Oh its actually a place. Im never sure, if Ranga is joking or what. Yip never go out after dark alone if female. Its unfortunately NOT SAFE. And the area is like well over million dollar area too. But lol that is the whole of Auckland. But it was still light so surprised me. Anyway, Re the Cup, there is a meeting this weekend, so will see how those potentials perform. Liking Self Assured, Amazing Dream. Copy That, South Coast Arden, they would be my BIG 4 atm. But anything could change in the 6 weeks from now til then.

Haha, no the chick was Asian, & the dude looked like Pacific Islander. But anyway back to Cup Week/Day. Home safe now, away from the crazies.

Just got back from a walk, weirdness is starting to happen, with lockdown level 3. Think its starting to get to peeps. This chick was in her full PJs as I walked past her, she was on her phone, standing outside her house but on the footpath & every now & again doing these weird High kicks. Then soon after that this car pulled up as if about to go into the drive-way that I was about to walk past, kind of cutting me off, so I stopped. Then it stopped & didn't actually go into the drive-way, I figured ok its going to do a U-Turn using drive-way to do so. So I continue to walk past the front of it & the dude winds down window & asks if I want a ride. WTF. Clearly Im in exercise gear. No Karrots do not get in the car. Politely said NO & walked faster HOME. Yikes. Right back to this. Haha, never been to Cup Day, floral isn't really my thing, nor is fashion in the fields. But it is nice to dress up tho.

That sounds FAB Honest John. Bubbles & strawberries yum. Cup itself thinking its open, no particular stable has a wall of horses to team drive. So that is good, makes it a fair playing field. Should be a fair start too for ALL this year. A number of chances, so hopefully be a GREAT RACE. The Press/Stuff have picked up story too. Suppose, it's quite BIG news with regard to it being a once in a century + thing to happen re 117 years. Wonder how much it will effect turnover should that happen? https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/racing/126505331/ticket-sales-on-hold-as-addington-cup-week-faces-first-spectatorless-event

This is currently breaking news on Herald. Can perhaps use this thread for Road to the Cup. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/covid-19-delta-outbreak-pandemic-may-rein-in-canterbury-cup-and-show-week-with-plan-to-shut-public-out-for-first-time-in-117-years/BURXACFYZKXJGCGHB5NVBJICXQ/

Exact same here Mikey NZ, never get a Powerball, only like you do, when a BIG pot comes up. Otherwise just stick to Lotto. Again agree if Lotto is so popular then try to think of a way to get more engagement for racing. No idea how to do that. But yes these BIGGER POTS are def what stimulate the masses take part - including YOU & I ! lol

Wow 5 out of 7, 10 times! Thats lucky. Mine was only ONCE. Got 5 out of 6 needed to win 1 million. Didn’t pay that much either less than $1k as its only 3 division. Division 2 is when get bonus ball plus 5 numbers thats usually worth approx $20-40k Talking about Punting - lotto vs race punting, its funny how hypocritical many people are. Watch the masses flock to get their Powerball tickets this week til the pot is hit. Lines will likely be formed, the mainstream news will talk about it, already started as being a BIG DRAW. Yet these same people most likely will have a bad - negative attitude toward punting on horses. Hypocrites! Feel horse punting, has a bad rep, looked down on with distaste YET hello, Lotto, is accepted & popular. So POPULAR in fact it was NUMBER 1 TOP OVERALL GOOGLE SEARCH IN NZ in 2017 - “Lotto result NZ" !

Results Mikey NZ - Scared Stiff 4th, as you specifically stated no Top 4 options, but there was today. You poss wanted to go that option. So will give to you @2.00 BUT its still not enough to beat, Trotsfan - who walks away with the BOAY selections Place Punt CROWN as his paid $3.00. Congrats! Poster M - Going to be the voice of reason. No more selections games. Guna have to take it away. No more stopping sports teams, horses & lotto numbers 😅 Winners: Round 1 Gospel Round 2 Mikey NZ Round 3 Trotsfan With exceptional performances from Unhinged & Gospel who both beat the odds in great fashion, in both rounds they participated in. The BIG PLACE BOAY PUNT IS OFFICIALLY OVER

Wow that sucks! Iv had 5 too ONCE. All 5 out in a row, then waiting & wanting number 16 to come out BUT it was number 12. So not as close as your 1 final number being 1 off, mine was 4 off. Super excitement had built right up, to suddenly NOT. Can only imagine how you felt! Maybe one day for us hey Mikey NZ. Know multiple groups of peeps friends of friends that have won Lotto, not Powerball. So peeps do win it. 1 lady a friend of a friend had been taking the same numbers for approx 10 years. And finally her lucky numbers came out. Thanks Mikey NZ & Poster M for putting selections in, will announce winner tonite or tomorrow. No sign of Trotsfan.

Off topic but not sure where to put this, & as checking out other results not just lotto, looking for Spirit of St Lou (Spirits) result & 2nd. Watched race & noted the winner Majestic Cruiser - had more stamina than Spirit yet come wider & sustaining his run longer than Spirit. Yet kept going Spirit 2nd. Hmm ok. So check out winners credentials born 2014 so 7 about to be 8, next notice straight away an unusual racing pattern. No wins for ages. Then once transferred recently to Grimson & win, win, win, win in a row. And against top open class horses.

Well Poster M, 40 came out. No-one got the lotto mega million train last nite. It explodes up to 18 million + 1 million so 19 mil total. Wow who the lucky punter will be that gets that ... Trotsfan suggested he would lay down selections today, he is currently in 1st position for new place punt winner of week. Today is the last, last big place punt challenge. Mikey NZ might have another crack ... Will he gripe onto crown from last week ... or is Trotsfan going to take it from him. Weather is a bit wishy washy up here, over-nite rain. Wonder what its like down there for it ... Will it be a front runners track today …. Will they go wide …. Daylight savings started & think it might be 1st grass track meeting of the season ...

Should we try our hand as a combined effort & see if we can get Powerball tonight, 16 million up for grabs. I guess that a number between 1-9 will come in 😄 Now we just need to get the 5 other numbers + Powerball. Who’s taking next guess? (Important note - Poster M to chose some numbers, then we just take all the OTHER NUMBERS lol). Poster M - switched channel re netball, when saw up by a BIG margin. Had made note that you got your 1st multi netball league in. Checked results this a.m & what. Had to change notes for post! Yip shooters are so important. Interesting, as coach is usually pretty good with changing out during game, when not performing. That is part of her usually winning strategy.

Excellent topic. Hopefully peeps join in here 👍 Id jump in & add something but unfortunately don't know, so lets await & see what others come up with 😃

Results Fri’s fun selections. Trotsfan beats the odds $500 up finishing on $1500. Well done Trotsfan. Myself yikes only 1 hit. Out by $300 hundy ouch. Finishes on $699.99. After Cyadoit, misses. Was a bit of a weird one. Went forward, then back, then forward again when it was too late. A bit like that song (Forth, Forth, Back & Forth). Never mind. Bit unlucky got pumped out 4 wide. Poster M, how did that happen re netball. S Ferns were up by what thought was a winning margin. Should have won. So under goes the sports multi. Lucky for Poster M & I its just practice. How good were the Lous last nite NZ. Think 4 ish starters for 2 wins! Miss Montana & Darling Me & 2 very close up 4ths. Plus in USA had a Little Brown Jug winner in Lous Pearlman. Said it before & will say it again, next year & the year after will see the raise of both the Lou’s & The Telfers. Its starting already. How good was Darling Me. Bam like that past Stylish M. She’s a nice racehorse now. Not just a horse beckoned for the broodmare paddock there Davis hehe. And so good she is in a stable that won’t have her play 2nd fiddle to current top Bettors Twist. Be interesting to see them come up against each other again with that sprint on her. Over to Aussie wow how good was The Dream! Watching replay this am sooooo good! That wins shows me that there is nothing dodgy going on at Cullen/All Stars. They just have had the horse power, numbers, team driving & great drivers as well as obviously top trainers. The Dealer, so tough the wee fella. Good run 3rd. Looking forward to see how Sugar Me goes in Derby. Go Sugar Me & The Dealer.

All good Poster M. Will try to keep an eye on your sports multi to see if it comes in & yip big UPS to you for joining in for fun. After race 2, Im on the board with $699.99 as Mitsi Gaynor gets 3rd.

Hey JJ was checking your page to check in on you. As noticed you have gone MIA. Hope you’re ok & just taking a break away? Missed this. ONLY since you brought MY NAME up will respond. Don’t think I’m Chiefs FAV. Guess Brods is. Chief NEVER comes to my aid when I’m being attacked by a poster/s like he does with Brods. Have to put shields up, then go on offensive on lonesome lol. Brods is a poster that pulls in engagement/views when site gets quiet. He strikes up conversation. Big Ups to you Brods 👍 Gamms another that drives engagement. Chief is likely aware which poster/s start the most popular threads on a Regular Basis. This site runs advertising to help pay bills, SO Stats-Views MATTER. (A couple of peeps don’t understand this - mock those that bring alot of views/engagement). e.g. (Ludwig trolls Gamms & I) (Ranga trolls Brods & I). These 2 posters don’t understand how digital age works & that they are NOT the only 2 posters on site. Even spelling this out to them, they prob still won’t get it. Some posters DO GET IT. Out of interest since its come to mind - Here are stats. Taken a peak at home pages last 2 pages - threads Iv started. Only 1 thread did not get over 1k views. Will leave it up to those that mock/troll to start threads & yes they are at it again today unfortunately. So much for them “moving on”.

Cya do it in race 6 - Top 3 @ $2.30 See you are playing with just $1k this time = Splitting the 3 be $333.33 on each runner lol.
