  1. You beat me to the punch.Yes,Jocasta had a horror crash into The Trentham Running Rail...and adding to poor Jockey Des Wyatt's long list of broken bones.
  2. Yes,it WAS a borrowed sulky.
  3. Starting Pool $37,006 from customers & $5000 Betcha Bonus Cash Payout 45,338 They didn't say if A Brodie was among the benefactors!
  4. Starting Pool a record high $21,855.Lost early,then $10k collect from Dogs Multi took them past $28k and finally paying out $26k. Bet on final 2 races at New Plymouth Gallops.Justin Evans put them into 2 losers. Bet few at Cambridge Trots on Aaron White's recommendations,he nabbed one winner,final race poetically Amateurs. They actually made profit on 3 x late bets on Black Caps Cricket (runs per over). Brodie,you missed out on another enthralling Thursday Trackside Trip into PROFITLAND.😄
  5. For anyone who didn't watch any coverage of Out The Gate tonight (perhaps they had contributed funds previous weeks and lost!): Starting Balance $15,761 Closing Balance $52,644 To coin their phrase = PROFIT LAND 🤑
  6. and in the pre-BOAY era: a fine Tasman Man
  7. I met Gary on many occasions at Alex Park/Ellerslie Racetracks when he retired to Auckland.Yes,he was a Mainlander,& played first class cricket for Otago I think! Believe he spent time working overseas,then returned to NZ & an early McDonalds Franchisee. A keen sportsman,tabletennis in his youth & basketball administration in later years,combined with dual racing code interests. Hesi has noted three of his glamour part-ownership horses,another was Changeover.
  8. Are you with One (ex Vodafone). I suggest Call Roaming (daily charge) would solve your problem. USA $9 & Bali $7. Naturally Brodie would recoup weeks worth of charges with single Place Bet.
  9. I had no problems getting TAB Website & Betting earlier this year when on Warriors Trip to Las Vegas,& holiday in Bali.
  10. Ministerial Advisory Committee Report presented to Peters,then Cabinet this week,outlines a figure of $60million across 3 years from 1 August 2026. Did not specify a set figure for TAB to contribute.
  11. Shame Finishing Line not in sight for Peters * Like Yesterday.
  12. Whilst Dapto Lease ends 30 June 2026 The Greyhound Club have decided to Go Out With A Bang. Their Last Meeting will be The Group 1 Ladbrokes Megastar on Sept 11 this year.So Galah,you need to book those flights quick smart. I had pleasure of attending their famous Puppy Auction with contingent of Kiwi Buyers 15 odd years ago.
  13. Gamma - looks can be deceiving 😄😄😄
  14. TAB Driver's Challenge Odds: I looked few minutes before Race 1 & Blair Orange was paying $1.01 R1 2nd : R2 1st: R3 1st = 8 points & still paying $1.01 Going into Final Race Blair Orange Leading 11 points from Zac Butcher 8 points. A small 5 horse field saw Blair finish last on Mr Kaplan & Zac 1st on Jeremiah ** so points end tied at 11-11. So Orange backers get payout of $0.50c per $1 I presume.(never noticed what Zac was paying at any stage)😃
  15. Brodie,I can only refer to my own holidays in Las Vegas & Bali. Call roaming allowed me full access to my TAB Account,Viewing Trackside,& Betting.
  16. Just returned from 3 weeks in Las Vegas supporting my 'Woeful Warriors' Accessing a VPN is too technical for me. However,simple to access Call Roaming with Vodafone/ONE for $9 per day. With this,accessing NZTAB perfect,and made money to help subsidise my trip. Plus with Sky To Go,could watch all Black Cap Champion Trophy matches.
  17. After a stellar career over 30plus seasons,Karen Walsh has called time on her training career. Her last remaining greyhounds went out the gate of her Tirau Kennels last week,ending a highly successful association she had with owner Gary Harding and racing under The Thrilling Banner. This property & operation was one of NZ's most Premier,and it's closure a sign of what lies ahead for all fellow owners and trainers.
  18. Me thinks Denis Schofield would disagree with you on that!
  19. You always had a good affinity with a stayer.
  20. Newmarket/The Gala x Going off "half cocked" BGP DID NOT lose everything $150k before receiving 100% payout. Final Bet on Race 9 Spent full remaining funds $50,064 leaving Zero Balance. This R9 Bet was Power Play* Both 2 Don't Stop Dreaming & 1 Kango TOP4 at $2.80 Potential Return $140,179.20 This was Winning Bet. I am not sure what the BGP starting pool was,but the $Topup by TAB was a few thousand only!
  21. Ranga,I'm told Mangos chucked Licenses in before they were stripped off him. More sad for the innocent victims of his offending.
  22. I was viewing throughout on BGP Facebook Live Stream,and the Race 6 Bet Orchestral T4 & Talisker T6 was given approx 10-15min before jump. Nothing about Win Only x Orchestral
  23. That bet was Orchestral TOP.4 & Talisker TOP.6 So LOSING BET
  24. This Jim Smith also had another page in the rich tapestry of racing highlights: He part owned (with 3 others) the high class thoroughbred Surfers Paradise,trained by Dave O'Sullivan to win the 1990 NZ Derby & 1991 Cox Plate.
