Hayley is going alright. 3 winners in next 10 rides after Bella Mio. Ex Aye $8.10, Sense Of Timing $7.50, Ata Rangi $11.60. Meanwhile in his last 17 rides Jmac has only managed to get 1 win with Voyage Bubble $1.80.

Cant you just go down to TAB and put your bets on at the terminal?

2k is the minimum they have to let you on to win not the limit. If you are happy to take way under the likely SP you can get on for lots more.

They might not speak good English but they're not silly. Bookies offer 130% market and they think why would I give this guy 1 dollar to get 76 cents back.

Wouldn't know anything about what he was looking at.

Great place if you're a non punting freehold boomer or a dairy farmer.

Applies to just about any vocation not just being a jockey. Small country, small population, small economy. Cant get bigger due to strong anti immigration sentiment. Unemployment above 5%, average house price over 900 k, supermarket duopoly robs you blind and soon the betting monopoly will get you for even more than they already do. Young and talented you’re better off somewhere else.

I really don't understand this thread. Waller and McDonald have been on top in Australia for a long time. I don't think the Australians give a hoot that they started off in New Zealand. Bjorn recently became an Australian but he's a good boy as he always talks about how good Murray was in his post race interviews after winning a big one.

Most of these yard commentators have no idea. Maybe she knows what to look for. I accidentally found myself watching The Form and Pam Gerard said she was super confident. Not a place bettor but I should have had a go at $4.50 on the exchange. Went to back the winner earlier in the day and odds dropped on me from $1.50 to $1.45 so I left it. Shame to see the trainer of the winner lose the horse so hopefully he got well compensated.

Sorry if I offended you. Not meant to be nasty. I think they're both superstars. But if you're the best to have worked for Aidan O'Brien you might be destined for some find of extra special stardom.

If that's true he'll likely go a lot further than Jamie or Mark ever have or will.

Probably completed the research himself. Just asked his brother and Roger James what they thought was best.

New guy going to be earning a bit of his million a year sorting this out. Maybe Entain can put up some new markets with odds for us to bet on in the meantime - no abandonment, abandonment after race 1, race 2, race 3......

Makes for a better story if Sam rides and wins. Think Frankel/Tom Queally, Takeover Target/Jay Ford.

Don't bet much with TAB but had a bet this week. Backed runner at 2.9. Odds went down to 2. Looked at what I could cash out for and it was around 80% of what i had put on. Are these guys for real? This has to be theft. Must be illegal. No wonder they need a law change to stop you going elsewhere. Maybe they don't do this to everyone. Not ringing them to find out. Very unfriendly when you ring. Good fun asking for a bonus bet to right any wrongs but you're flagged as no bonus bets allowed and they can't get you off the phone quick enough.
