  5. dear i ask what you do/would bet into?
  6. Very much a top G1 to bet into.. most of the other races are quite difficult (IMHO) Note how with the world pool for w&p has someone put a Large place bet on the #3 currently at 1.00 pool at this time is Win: $41,006.67Place: $31,504.92
  7. nz into the future by the current lot!
  8. i so dislike when they start to show prelims!!! stop abruptly and a trainers head will show!!! and we miss the prelims!!! why show the head??? Less Talk/propaganda and More of the HORSE!!!!!
  9. bigger pool$ = a more stable price to bet on!!!
  10. ... would they be the (often, spoken, in a very soft tone) local mosgil mafia? 'lucky'? ...for me, putting aside the many trivial banes! that I have had with certain individual's connected to them!!! <- mostly now gone! I would say that they have played their held cards well, so far... helped by Mosgiel housing moving ever closer! Like him or not, M Atkin seems to be ever there... There current relationship with OTD/Entain has produce many 1000's " of column space! many many Full Page advts! Any idea if that has increased betting? They are not that flash re 'social media', it's worth noting the huge effort that Taylor Strong continues crank out! Man will he be missed! Their 'ever' struggle? going forward perhaps, is still around getting punters on course? I know so many 'ex' going there!
  11. "almost slipping"
  12. almost word for word with a chat I had with a punting partner today, if i was to be having a bet, there might be some nice odds for a show bet! (as in a 1/2 finish). I bet keen to see if O has improved in appearance! she was slightly underwhelming last time, other times she has present Large
  13. there was a interview a stipe, who talk about policy etc, rather strange in not allowing them to ride, especially if any jockey that did feel it unsafe being able to scr without penalty!
  14. keenly awaited!

  19. First time ever a race meeting for a racing family? Trainers with a history of 60 years training and no discretions! Interesting to see no Anderton, Parsons or Pitman runners! No Pitman runners at last week meeting at Wingatui meeting either!
  20. Sabotage with no leads – Police hit dead end in Gold Coast turf poisoning probe By Bren O'Brien - January 20, 2025 Queensland Police are of the strong belief that the Gold Coast track was intentionally poisoned by a third party ahead of the Magic Millions but admit they have few leads as to who the culprit may be. The poisoned section of the Gold Coast Turf Club track. (Photo: Facebook/Gold Coast Turf Club) The poisoning of the section of the track around the 500-metre mark forced the Gold Coast Turf Club to move its key lead-up meeting to the Magic Millions and forced a massive around-the-clock effort to get it repaired in time for the $14.5 million Magic Millions raceday. As it turned out, bad weather meant only three races were run on the track on the intended date, Saturday January 11, with the remaining features conducted last Friday night.

While the impacted area of the track continues to recover, police have said they have ruled out accidental damage to the track. Gold Coast Acting Superintendent Jason Tuffley told the ABC that their investigations aligned with the club’s finding that the common glyphosate-based herbicide Roundup was used to kill the grass. It is believed the poisoning occurred around New Year’s Day. The club has insisted that it believed it was an intentional act, even when Racing Queensland and Magic Millions officials conceded it was more likely mishap than malice. The outcome of the club’s own investigation, conducted by agronomist Craig Easton, was that herbicide had been administered using a knapsack sprayer, not a boom sprayer. Police are also adamant a third party was involved, having ruled out any misadventure or otherwise by someone at the club. "It could be a targeted attack against the racing industry itself, or the Gold Coast Turf Club or the Magic Millions event itself," Acting Superintendent Tuffley said. But the likelihood of finding the person responsible seems remote, as CCTV has proven inconclusive and there appear to be no other witnesses. "Unless police receive any new or fresh information in relation to nominating a suspect ... there is less enquiries for us to take action," he said.
  21. he got the job via being a obsequious moron, much more still to come.... mute!
  22. re Stott, what a aggressive ride once he did stop using the whip!
