Wouldn't pot a horse for failing at Methven.Long grass makes track dead and brings good horses back to the field.

As an enthusiast I love the grass tracks but as a punter hate them. No bets for me today but love watching them

Thanks for the comp CP Good luck to your family and the club for what is always a good day R1 Five Wise Men R2 Texas Tara R3 For Today R4 Kusanova R5 One over Dover R6 Dismara R7 Better Fly R8 John James Preston R9 Voodoo Priestess R10 You Really Got Me R11 Iknow R12 Midfrew Luisianabeau Bet of the day,will assess when market comes out if worth the risk is Five Wise Men in race 1,if it trots all the way will win by 3lengths

Obviously talking about racing in general and not Methven as they have probably the best run club in NZ.Everything they do is well run from workout and trial days to punters comps to race days.And Counter Punchs family,along with the Oreillys,May's and others have been very instrumental in that

Pete not everything was honest on the Nelson/Blenheim circuits that CJ and Mike used to dominate 25 years ago

R7 Hattie has impressive trial form, Top stable,top driver,top draw,top price $3.50 fixed R9 Girls let Loose has ability and can do some work.Eachway $7.50/$2.40 fixed R11 Minelli Smile was good first up,should take a lot of improvement and way over odds $31/$6.50

R1 Thank You-if you like a risk.If it ever learns to trot all way will win them in a row.Has shown real ability on trial days.High speed horse who stable does rate R7 Cochy Malc-is way over odds,is the real deal but might just lack ringcraft of some of these ,definitely worth the risk.Could lead and can run sectionals Both a risk but both over odds I believe

Betting restrictions arent only a NZ tab problem.It is right around the world. Every betting agency,casino and back water pub has restricted punters or restrictions on betting levels.It is commonsense practice as to not become insolvent.The way around it is to have many accounts or fake accounts through mates

Agree about John Dunn.Was weird drive

Just spotted some place value in race 8 Mils McArdle @$3.80

I actually believed that at the odds Invaluable is a better bet than Skippys Delight in race 3 was.Was it the Ricky May factor that it so short.Saying that I wont be backing Invaluable My tip is Somekindawonderful in the last

Correct

Sure was

True that mate Especially if that bloody Scotty or Wardy was with us

The chertsey tavern would have got his winnings back that night.Along with mine.

Chertsey used to have an equaliser meeting at Easter.Used to be in conjunction with Chertsey gymkhana. Was a great day out.Chertsey cup was a well sought after trophy

DG??

Thanks mate.Was trying to stay off all racing forums but.i fell off the wagon.lol.

Have you been told facts though or heresay

Waikouaiti Mafia mate Moseleys,Kerr,campbell etc

A young Jo Geering and some other larrikin that is down in Ashvegas at the moment.Hope to catch up with our old mate on Saturday before he heads home Sunday

Correct,I believe Wayne Ross was on fair go or maybe just the news being unscrupulous Tony Soal was an ok trainer who done his time with Patrick Oreilly Junior. Tony is now a freezing worker.Dale Forbes was another trainer a few years back was Tony's son in law

Surely Stu not that thick that he cant figure it out for himself. Fixed odds is a market that opens itself to be a losing platform if all bets are taken willy nilly,just like a bank will if it pays out more interest to investors than it takes from borrowers.Obviously the large syndicate has been a losing one so far on fixed betting markets. Every gambling institute in the world limits is loss/win ratio to one that makes their business sustainable.Winning punters all around the world are limited in how much they can bet/collect

Also R3 Anne Bonney is a definite chance,has nice draw but is tough anyway so if she ends up outside leader it wont worry her too much

R8 Baltimore Jack is I believe well over the odds R9 Habibti Inta can place at nice odds if gets a sweet run
