Such a lucky dip with what odds you'll get. Still lots of $1 divs. Pools double or more from mobile pulling away to final divs on Oz races. Unavoidable unless pools are real big I guess. Oz presenters and callers going hard on telling you one pool odds. Told to I guess. Ours not so much. Maybe told not to but if TAB staff don't know what it is and whether we're commingled or not, can't expect too much. You'd think in 2026 with all these super computers they could get the pools to update more quickly. A disappointment so far
Good day for younger people to get out for a day in a town where most of the time not enough going on for them. People just bet on phones now. As you say it's a good day if you score a spot in some vip area. Good food unlike the stuff you wouldn't feed to your dog that you get at Riccarton unless they've made some changes
What kinda outfit is Vouris running? These people be on around 100k pa or more and they don't know what day it is. Surely you coulda sold us to some better mob than this winston. A disgrace all round

If you're proposing they change name to nz pacing cup that'd create even further disconnect from the masses. People go to the trots not the pacers etc. Bigger problems to deal with in racing anyway
Could be so. I've had account where you're putting small bets on and odds drop after virtually every bet. As bets are small I put it down to coincidence as can't possibly think I'm some kind of genius punter cos I'm not. Found with sports all good until you show a pattern of success in whatever sport and then the high jinks begin. Go to another sport and same happens allover. You'd think the sums involved be chicken feed to the entain monster but they're obviously a greedy mob
When I looked at tabcorp pools for nz racing yesterday pools were tiny. Trifecta pools super tiny. Looked now but pools data not showing in previous days results. I presume oz punters bet a few k win and few hundred trifecta. Add together things will look a bit more even. Easy to find out if you want to know for sure just contact entain by phone or email and ask for clarification on what nz pools are part of one tote right now and if trifecta are commingled. Don't think they are cos nz takeout was 25% and oz 20%. They're likely to be more than helpful unless you're tagged.
Please let us know as I'd be interested even though I seldom tote bet and wouldn't take a trifecta with stolen money
Get creative. Always a way. Ask some young ones how. But you have to have a reason. If you cant beat SP you wont win regardless where you bet and better off working on improving your betting or jacking it in. NZ not much different from another state of Australia. If you can travel between the 2 countries without a passport soon how can you not bet in both? Vote ACT they're anti monopolies so must allow other bookies in. Exchange still the best for punting but tabcorp good for watching races
If you look at tabcorp pools from their site no commingling of nz races on any bet types. Trifectas don't get commingled as greedy nz tab wont cut takeout to match oz rates. Been that way since forever is my understanding. Might be wrong. Someone will know for sure and can set us straight. Trifecta betting you might as well give it to the Sallies instead. You get a better return on your money
