Riverton Jan 1 2025, 9 races.........Jan 1 2026, 8 races....makes a difference. Total figures and average per race figures, need to be factored in, those total figures will be for everything.

Be nice if they would give detailed figures for all meetings, fixed/tote and this type breakdown for on course, 2 meetings be interesting, Riverton , Jan 1.......Omakau, Jan 2.

Interesting HRNZ have just released the northern top pacers/trotters autumn programme, not hard to see how easy to slot in the Auckland Cup, only way they will attract all the toppys together, would just run a FFA on Dec 31, let Omakau build there day.

Still good entertainment, but these days I can take it or leave......but yes many punt through Xmas and new year, it's just what many do then back to normal life.

Plenty of money to see Ed Sheeran Lorde and the likes.Jimmy Carr sold well, he ain't doing anything for nothing and that's just after Xmas and all that nonsense, I shouldn't talk though the TAB got my 150 bucks for my Xmas splashout but it took them a lot longer this time than normal lol.

Simply put he's better, game set match.

Jan 1, was watching trackside(Riverton) and when Ellerslie was on it looked like a industry day meeting, maybe this week might be different......the Auckland Cup trotting on Dec 31 is a non event now, best time is about march 20, not too long before the slots races, through January and into early March our best pacers often go to aussie, Auckland stuffed things up, but I see harness officials are hoping to work closer in regards to scheduling feature races, if they can get that right it's a win win for both countries. Miracle mile in Oz is week 2 in march, after that it's a bit quite across the ditch.

None last year either it seems.

Based on your reply to my question, does bets placed on apps on course count as on course betting, then the 100k on Ellerslie continues to emphasize that for the size of Auckland no one goes racing or gives a shit about it.

If you use the app to bet when you are on course, is that classed as on course betting figures ,I'd say no but I stand to be proven wrong, purchase is not taken on oncourse setup.

Holiday meetings have lots of holiday makers who may not have, TAB accounts, and obviously with a good crowd on course turnovers are good , not rocket science.....like most things be nice to get all these figures broken down, I'm sure Omakau on Jan 2 would be interesting.

I think you actually find those good on course turnovers at many of the small holiday venues is pushed by tote betting by the non regular race goers, they don't care about fixed odds, probably don't care about horse racing that much either but just enjoying the summer outings that become traditional for many.

Well at least there will one patron there.😁

Well at least they ain't running the derby and oaks in same say as is done here, never understood that.

Ain't Hong Kong tote only?
