3 weeks or so until the World drivers series, does anyone believe it will pick up by then?

From what I believe the distribution some of NZ sporting bodies get is very significant,. Racing shouldn't get any but if it helps the overall business, that's Entain going, that helps.

Me reckon way track got battered today grass grub won't be showing up in the near future lol.

Me picking some good divvies today.

Plenty of rain in Dunedin i believe but not sure about Washdyke, Methven wouldn't be Methvan unless it's at Methven.

It's for the younger generation this programme, Betcha as a rule is to cater for the youngish, you get lots of sports programmes that you could call light entertainment, this is another, no one's got a more fucked up sense of humor than me but everything has its proper place and proper time, I like Greg O Connor presenting, no bullshit, just tell it as it is, just at present most racing as a rule is becoming a hard watch for me, betting on anything at present just don't excite me

I don't find it a bad look, I don't look at it and if it's only Cambridge with what it's offering at present I won't be watching it but Thursday twilight meetings start in the South now, maybe I won't watch that either🥸

Seems odd Methven and Washdyke so close together on same day.

Does anyone know if our Out The Gate experts got their nose in front punting everyone's money for fun, I don't watch it.

But is it betting responsibly, would you spend others money so flippantly?

Think I will just stick to just having a few bets when it's suits lol, backing slow horses appeals more than feeding one.

Cambridge are hosting a round of the World drivers Champs, based on numbers recently, they will need to up their numbers or it will be hopeless, ........I also note Manawatu have a Monday Thursday season opener on Cup Week, with all the attention on Cup Week may struggle for numbers too, why not the next week?...not that difficult.

Talk about the negativity, we'll all I'm seeing is everything revolving around Ellerslie or TeRapa, and stuff the rest of the country,(it seems)and personally I don't think many in the South give two shits about Ellerslie and the likes, rarely do you see horses from Cook Strait South there so they just do there own thing, they still have their cup races, Guineas races and the like, and yes the stakes on offer are pretty decent at present, sure up North is the stronghold for gallops, but racing in the South it's going ok, long may it continue.

Two races at Washdyke Sunday have been boosted, those missing out last week have preference, fortunately no southern horses went all the way north only to have to go home without starting, 5 Jockeys affected in fall, finding replacements quickly might not have been easy, stakes boosted for Southland Friday, good noms mostly too,mostly all Southern trained there is often a lot of negativity regarding racing in the South, and where things are heading they have fewer days and short season, but things just keep chugging along year after year.

I've only watched Out The Gate for about 10 minutes 3 weeks ago, no interest to me, but if and I say if it attracts younger followers sobeit but the older I'm getting the more I'm watching less and less racing on TV, maybe I'm getting racingd out, only so much one can take, Friday nights is good, but many times now I'm only watching specific races, even betting, it's just not exciting me at present, the sports in play platform for live betting has turned me off there too, it's so out of touch from other sites who now since the ban are out of sight.
