  1. So are you suggesting there are more than the usual😎
  2. I wonder who those 200 offshore bookies are, sounds a bit far fetched.
  3. You wonder if they are letting the big sports punters on in the head to head options, on the Cricket, Rugby and the like, recently with Geo blocking they extended the punters promise to some sports options to a minimum of a $1000, so one wonders what happens to the guys who might want 50 grand on the ABs or the Aussie head to head, Betfair was the place for them, even had honest cash outs, are those punters being accepted or are not welcome, meaning many have given up.
  4. Didn't mention his strange perception of people in the South, especially having lived there once he should have been a bit smarter on that one, didn't understand that my attitude of Auckland which many agree with as in the way it's changing in demagraph is correct, I think living there you will develop a distorted perception of the rest of the country, he certainly did on that one, was still good giving him a hard time on anything Auckland, one thing he did teach us is, you can be here today gone tomorrow which puts most things in perspective that many of the things we really worry about don't matter that much in the final reality.
  5. Fields in Southland ain't that bad in winter. Just at present like yesty were poor, 2 days in 4 days, no wonder.
  6. There are some really good races at Addington, high stakes, high quality horses but not really good betting races, and that just seems the way is most days, if the stakes are good but the wagering ain't, it's gotta be a recipe for disaster, one day there has to be a correction, work within ya budgets.
  7. Well just imagine the landscape if they had closed those tracks by 24 25 as was the theory.
  8. Southland did race on Sunday, so what does one expect, Cambridge had good fields last week but no Auckland the day after, it's not rocket science, Southland do need a longer season but the winter rewards series in August was complimented by one of their better July August weather period and yes the gallopers are more interesting most times in the South, I think the lack of overkill does help.
  9. So long since racing last held in Hawkes Bay many must have died off meaning lots of new race goers at Waipuk must be first timers lol, good crowd it seems.😁
  10. Maybe they had a look at one of their shows and saw what others saw and then thought what others thought as well
  11. I reckon the West Indies have finished early today so they can take in Out the Gate and Manawatu Trots 😁
  12. I'm going to sound like a stuck record but I reckon Blenhiem should be back on the calandar but not running your average run of the mill meeting but a feature meeting, which is a Wednesday Saturday, in summer, perfect place for a Canterbury v Central Districts meeting, if the likes of Michael House travels regurley across the straight for the Palmy trots whats wrong with the gallops guys doing it, eases the load of one or two tracks too, if Harness can do it with Kaikoura with big crowds why can't racing?
  13. You sure?
  14. Wouldn't guarantee Leap To Fame will win FFA either, might be a replica of the Cup with two hotshots canceling each other out, setting things up nicely for the likes of Merlin, we will see in time.
  15. Not sure if anything Mick says is gospel regarding punting, still enjoyed his chat with Mark Purdon.
