TV has changed our viewing habits,as in attending events,as for going to the races I have to admit I dont go but many moons ago when we were young going to forbury on saturday night was a highlight,that's where I caught the bug,as a spectacle but the forbury meetings of those days were big events top class racing,its only a shadow of what it was,on another note I hear that James Shaw halfwit on zb,it appears to me with these deluded oddballs ideas that the bloke that whacked him didn't whack him hard enough,just a side issue lol

Am I correct that if you place a bet of 1000 dollars or more you have to have I'd, password etc what if your a casual punter with no tab account

I'm not the only one that's use that quote before so it must be true.

It is a hard one though when most who go probably do bet on smartphone,it makes adding up how much is bet on track almost impossible to tally up,there have been lots of changes over the years not all are good some are.no radio coverage is the poorest change from the TABs decision makers but then I spose the fact you can watch them all on tv is big plus,remember once there was no tv coverage.

And then you hear some saying if there is no tote windows they just ain't betting,they will go home or something.

Does the club cover the cost for the on course betting service,as so many probably bet on course on smartphones anyway,I've suggested that maybe no on course service for days that only attract a handful of people but gee even then you probably need 1 or 2 windows to keep the cash spenders happy,everyone needs to be catered for.

Just listening to a women on farming show in north otago saying they have only had 250 mm of rain this year,or something like thatI think I'm hearing correct,food for thought when considering needing a AWT,just a though,North Otago,South Canterbury,mostly dry. I'm kind of neutral on the AWT,as long as it dont impinge on the normal setup.

Am I correct that clubs get nothing as such from on course betting,I'm assuming that all turnover is combined,does anyone know what the clubs get,just curious.

If it's not daylight saving in oz it will be 1pm and in Perth it might be 10am,what a effin shambles lol,probably not even on tv in oz,they dont really play rugby over there.

Well I wont be watching the rugby,I temporarily put sky on hold,dont wanna watch it anyway.i wonder though if they will pause the rugby though and watch the race themselves.😂

Just woke up,ABS,gee that's kind of rude impinging on other scheduled events.

Rugby?

I dont like to sound bad in my comments ,when someone gets badly hurt they always abandon the rest of the card,sad and unfortunate as it is a lot of people have taken the time to attend with their charges and have to go home early,life does go on,should the show be completed,what do others think? As I said ,sad as it is life still goes on.

I Alexy start 289 today.only 11 off the record,what has happened to Danke?

Alexy start 289 today and Pete's Dash with May driving today,could be a good day for Dennis the Menace

I've contradicted myself ,fields ain't so big today. Four Starzz Shirazz in race 1,if hes ever gunna win one then maybe today?

What I was meaning is trying to pick winners,so many average races but usually large fields,a bit if a minefield.

I reckon Timaru is a funny track,no set rules

Now that Addingtons done a barrage of greyhounds coming up on trackside,time to turn off.

Did you have Ned Kelly happy.?

Why after that last race at addington did they go to a greyhound race instead of reviewing the race just run?

The top class races in all reality are a bit thin really as much as Purdons horses are good some of the others are their by default,I guess it's always been like that but I do think there is less depth these days.

Gee just watching the races in oz,those people wearing mask,it looks ugly,maybe it would be better if they wore a condom over their head.

I was looking at the odds for the cup,no Alexy,he has one 10 races so he has qualified, be a buzz for O Connell driving in the cup

U may collect ain't up to this class,Robyn's Playboy might be a good Southern raider though but these days there is a big gulf between Canterbury and Southland,a bit like Rugby really,just not sure in what sport the biggest gulf is these days.
