Not the ones that took Mr Kiwi

11 races. ?????????

Enough noms to run 16 races again. At least run 11 or 12 races like the good old days.

Cut from the televised awards?

The money is pouring on that non win trotter Moon Way against the horses who have won races 71 into 16

Silent Major in Race 9 could not win that race on its trial form but opens $6.00. Possibly another where there is smoke situation but some strange money in that race.

I tend to ignore trials form for that stable. Usually given quiet runs and then go massive on race day. Both those horses looked weak last prep but obviously have ability if they are prepared to put them in against the good Purdon horses in age group races.Where there is smoke there is fire.

Money starting to come for both those runners now.

I agree plenty of money to be made tonight especially around the fields with 10+ runners Race 2,3 and 9

I would rate DDs Super Stuart a $5 chance with Ricky May or Blair Orange driving. I would not back it if it was paying $50 today but it has plenty of ability. Sounds Like A Gem I like today at $12 and $3.50

David Butcher a master of the barge out when he is on a winner.

If LESS than an inch of rain can cause the meeting to be cancelled, what chance of the October meeting going ahead! Plenty of time to make a plan B for another grass surface instead if you start now! Banks Peninsular is preferable to Ashburton IMO. But I would take a Reefton,Waimate, Westport or Oamaru

Whale going for some value. Plutonium Lady $1.35 Need To Know $1.90 Tyrone's Bit Of A Lemon $1.30

No restrictions unless you are restricted from entering!

On a positive note! Outside of premier meetings some of the most even supporting races I have seen at Addington for a while. Race four an absolute cracker for the junior drivers. I think there is a $6000 first four injection in that race as well.

Fair enough if you call a 31.7 second quarter a sprint. I prefer think it was a grinding finish from a horse who had done the least work of the first four home.

Looking more and more likely by the day.

Just saw Nigel McGrath case was dropped this afternoon for lack of evidence! http://www.harnesslink.com/International/Race-fixing-charge-against-trainer-dropped

What next Full License holders downgraded to Amateur! Time to downgrade the RIU to full retard.

Run a "tote only" same as old format with $200 entry on the harness grass tracks around the South Island on a Sunday and count me in every time.

Used to be a great competition and I entered quite a few of them back in the day. Tote pools were definitely bigger during the Competition and I thought their main goal was to turn over more money on-course. The lower entry fee might help them attract more teams but why couldn't they lower the entry and keep the old format.

This will be like a red rag to a bull for Brodie!?

So you are telling me I can not go into a TAB and put $240 (In three separate $80 bets) to win on a horse paying $12.00 and collect $960 three times maybe at different locations. Hang on I have just collected $2880 and not had to use ID. What sort of sorcery is this!

If you are cashing in a winning ticket pretty hard to restrict you if you have already won. Keep betting under the $1000 limit and no issues

Not sure all my collects previously have been from TAB account refunded to bank account from which I had to show ID. I collected in cash this time to see what was the difference and was the same. Produced ID and got the money. It may be a different procedure depositing money (more than 1K) or collecting from a ticket or voucher but I am guessing show ID and get the money. For me was a 30 second transaction to show ID and collect. This weekend I will try to deposit $1000 in cash at a different TAB and see what happens. Any reason why you can not test this yourself Brodie?
