  1. Disappointing! It used to be a big couple of days a few years ago but getting worse every year. Not sure who is to blame but the high cost of travel would definitely put a few off I suppose.
  2. I heard he is kicking himself for missing out on acquiring Kelly Evander who had 160 starts here for bugger all a few years ago. He could have won an Interdominion with her.
  3. FFS welcome to another boring night of follow the leader at Addington. Bring on the wet grass track racing and some decent dividends.
  4. What chance it will be abandoned? Hopefully no rain the day before or on the day.
  5. I will take a soft 9 for the track please. The dividends might be orgasmic if that is the case. Bring it on!
  6. I am going with blind stupidity.
  7. I see Geraldine has 259 Nominations for it's meeting on Saturday. The November meeting always attracts big fields and one of the best days of the year for betting in my opinion.
  8. https://harnesslink.com/new-zealand/hrnz-board-approves-application-from-disqualified-licenseholder/ Can not imagine the public perception will be that positive. They can read the room about as well as the current Government at the moment.
  9. So called "Geo blocking" has not stopped me betting on the New Zealand TAB when I am in Australia and nor will it stop me betting on the Australian sites from NZ. They are in cuckoo land to think this is the ultimate fix to their dropping yields.
  10. Yes All Stars team grow a leg when the money is up but I think the gap has closed and Dunns and Telfer stable showing up to the races with some quality animals. Cup Day is going to be a cracker this year.
  11. That was good by Carter on Republican Party. Rasmussen and Purdon just got wasted by a better drive in that race. Good to see other drivers take the Blue Army on during the race and not just let them dominate in races. Telfer stable also look like they have the horsepower to really make cup week interesting this year and Tim Williams not scared to take it to them as well.
  12. I think the value has improved a ton in the last year or so. You just need to look harder Brodie. Yesterday I thought Coney Island Lou was over the odds on opening at Addington and also Deceptive Lee. See It Thru down at Invercargill also value on opening.
  13. Ray Green runners quite often race better when they are paying over $15.00. His outsiders can go like $1.50 runners. Argyle running a 1.55 mile rate paying $20+ the latest in a long line of upsets dating back several years.
  14. I agree with that statement but the enforcement should come from people with a strong harness racing background not, and I am quoting de Lore here who I think speaks for 99% of the harness industry at the moment : "a hapless bunch of over-paid dinosaur-like ex-judges and policemen with no racing knowledge, expecting them to exercise justice in an industry in which they are ill-equipped and inadequate."
  15. I would have agreed with that 10 years ago but with such a leaders bias at Addington these days I am not so sure.
  16. He was confident he was going to be on the money with that one.
  17. https://harnesslink.com/usa/bulldog-hanover-paces-fastest-mile-ever-in-145-4/ Looks like he could go even faster.

  18. Well his tips come out on the day of the races and he can back them the night before so I suppose you could call that early access.
  19. Yes the whale is terrible. He was ok several years back when no-one had access to information and he got the videos when the public couldn't see them. These days he can stop those 1.40 favourites in their tracks. No wonder the TAB keep him employed.
  20. I think the point is to make punters bet to increase turnover. Obviously the worse they tip the more the TAB makes so in the best interest of the TAB to have terrible tippers. Also good for me as they lower the odds on horses I don't like more often than not.
  21. I think the RIB went in to this half cocked with no factual evidence of race fixing just a few assumptions, just like I posted in here suggesting that might be the case the day this became public knowledge 6 years ago.
  22. If the whips are removed the stipes will have to find another easy and profitable way to fill up the fine jar probably with another set of ridiculous rules re rein use. Is it at all possible to vote someone onto some of these decision making positions with some actual common sense.
  23. He is a good judge that Brodie lol
  24. Looks like a tired horse to me. Might come back stronger next time in
  25. Addington has turned into a real turd for betting. Leader biased favourites turning everyone off. That is why the grass tracks and country meetings are better betting opportunities and favoured by punters owners and trainers. The biggest issue is why can't the heads of the TAB and HRNZ make that conclusion that as well.
