These small fields are a real turn off for the punter. Why not run them as none totes so we don't have to put up with watching them? Hope everyone made a ton of money on this one LOL

Looks like a roll back a few days... A few posts missing it seems

What has changed? The result used to be up almost straight away after the judge declared the placings. Now we are waiting up to 15mins. Not good enough. We should be moving forward not back to the dark ages where the placings are put through via Morse code

Addington ridiculously slow at getting dividends posted again tonight

Winter racing is like that. Most serious punters close up shop over the winter months. Short favourites mixed with the odd $50.00 longshot you didn't see coming. Not my cup of tea.

His horses do step pretty good. I guess coincidentally they are all in that 40-50 rating gap. The rating 40 to 53 mobile looks a much stronger field. Good chance he will get the first four home in that 1st race

The whole thing has become a farce. Has anyone ever actually been charged after being asked to explain an improved performance? If not, then what's the point? It's hard to take it seriously when it seems like just a box-ticking exercise for the stewards. Asking the question without ever following through makes the whole process look weak and pointless.

Yes the recent trial was good and the drivers can say whatever they want if questioned and it is believed, but if there was ever a question needed to be asked that day it was that horse. Supposed integrity but I am rolling my eyes at that one.

True but there is too much inconsistency. Why was there no question asked of Downtown Orlando and the improved showing in race 8. Don't tell me it is because it ran 5th in its last start because that is a load of horse shit. Is was second last and struggling to keep up 21.5 lengths from the winner and all it previous 8 starts were further back than ninth. If they can not see that is not an an improved run then they truly do not have any awareness of how horses perform. If they want to hide behind some ridiculous rule that if a horse finishes 5th it is a good run then they are making themselves look like idiots in situations like this.

I think the problem is I doubt the stipes even realized this had occurred. Certainly would not surprise me if they didn't as there are a lot of things worth mentioning even more obvious than this that never get addressed either. They will watching this thinking what is Galah on about then go oh I see! Oh well too late now.

Mmm I can't think of many. As a punter we have lost the pick six, all up bets, dwindling tote pools, more restrictions, website still playing up, slower results, no place divs on trackside plus more. What have we gained apart from same race multis, top four and money back odds, which is not really a positive if you are not allowed to bet on them.

Yes hard to see where they were from the angles but I think that Robyns Hustler was actually almost three wide at that stage. You can see a bigger gap than normal between the fence runners and the outside horses coming into the bend the first time around.

They have tried to get rid of the small punter for years (eg removing phone betting for the older punters with no tech knowledge, radio, free to air tv etc) and now they are wanting the small punters back. They have finally gone full circle.

Yes they just take away the options like top four, and other fixed bet types when you log into your account. It is like they don't exist. Can still bet on tote but not most fixed options.

Boost the turnover with your own money and report the turnover is up. Everyone is overjoyed at the news. Genius plan but will it last! Do they have to pay tax on the bonus money people spend or is that a loophole they can get around?

As long as the Aussie guys keep doing the pricing. The gap between opening and closing odds is night and day. It is almost like the computer is doing it based on form or something. I have never seen it so good for the punters.

Yes but surely it can not be going into the same book...what's the point of having two companies then.

They supposedly have a bookmaker from Betcha doing the fixed odds pre race "where the money is going" bit on trackside. Is this the money that is going on the Betcha fixed odds or Entain? Are the fixed odds now now controlled from Betcha like they are making it out to be on trackside?

I backed the winner using the same theory thinking it would be staying test.... I put a wee bit on at 21 and it got right out to 41 🤦‍♂️

Get Natalie back she had better than a 50% winning strike rate when driving them.

Bloody hell I have been paid out twice at Addington tonight before the results have appeared on the results page. Not good enough ENTAIN

Manawatu mainly used as a training ground by the Telfers so I think their horses will improve quite a bit with a few more runs under their belts. Captains Secret reminds me a bit of Semba who had four starts at Manawatu and only won once. It then won a race at Auckland in 1:54 a few starts later and looked a good horse in the making.

Well he was on six favourites over the two days and ran two thirds with them. You could argue Terry Chmiel is in the same boat in the south. Has had many drives on favourites or near favourite Telfer horses for little result. In fact I have done very well backing against them so far this year. It will be interesting to see if hot favourites Cocktails and Caviar and Akatea can keep their form with Terry driving tomorrow night at Addington. That Akatea race is a great betting race some good value in there and I think Akatea is too short at 1.75.

Doing all they can to attract new customers to get more turnover. 400% deposit match on opening an account. Normally they get desperate with promotions like that when the turnover is not going that good.

So easy to make money there last night. How they opened up Nickle and Dime at 3.00 is nuts. Thankful they did. Got a couple of decent multis ending on it
