  1. There is so much racing that the fields do become repetitive,many times the top class races have small fields,one thing I've noticed in recent years is when Westport race the main race seems to have smaller fields nowadays,so much racing in Cantwrbury less travel.
  2. 3 or 4 short priced winners today,maybe that may be why Metbven gets more interest.
  3. UMC,two last in two starts,has this horse lost his mojo?
  4. Pete's Dash another driver today,junior driver,paying 34 any takers.
  5. True.
  6. 1 question,if forbury was sold would they build a all weather trotting track or maybe a all weather galloping track,doesn't say.
  7. The situation with Gore at the moment is another cock up,the race club will have reduced income with no trotting putting the race club under pressure,it is true that each need each other,in reality the clubs ain't the problems it's the a holes making decisions.
  8. A few years back there was a study done into southern racing,it suggested shifting everything to winton,based on climate and other factors,so what happens later on,gallops shut up shop,when will the confusion end?
  9. In times gone by most if not all of the trotting clubs have funded there own tracks,strangely 2 are sitting idle at present.
  10. Cant remember
  11. He had a bucket with him before the race this guy does he think that someone might mug him and steal a bucket of dog shit?
  12. I did say at the meetings where no one goes,Kaikoura and Cup day just a bit different
  13. The amount of time you spend on here,do you ever work?🙂
  14. Probably fair to say most people bet online oncourse now,but a big screen would still be the way to check out the odds.
  15. But when you think of it why not have smartphone betting only for many of the meetings that only have a few people,you would still want a larger screen to look at oncourse coz squinting into these farty arse things ain't easy over time,more and more people are using devices but instead of filling in a card just bet on the screen,if you ain't got a account with tab just have a cashier on course you deposit funds and just get a code number you can use for the day,when you wanna go home just cashup and your done and dusted,cuts down tabs and clubs cost
  16. Just watching greyhounds at Wanganui and there is some fat basterd there walking back with dogs after the race,hes starting to fuck me off,thank God they are finished.
  17. You know is it compulsory that the tab have to be on course,probably most people in course bet on smartphone,recently weve had meetings with no public and they have survived,be fair to say that if everybody knew that betting was only available online I reckon lots would adapt pretty quick,it would cut cost,just a thought.
  18. Im not a expert on everything,give me a break lol😁
  19. He do Just watching that ride at Ashburton I dont think he needs anything,just keep doing what hes doing.
  20. You may find with the new funding setup that the returns from the country meetings may well be used to subsidize the bigger clubs.
  21. I actually was of the belief that the reason Gore was not allocated was something to do with fiber optic cable or something,yet it seemed to work fine for the gallops,strange.
  22. When you see those purdon runners paying a dollar for a place then some have stacked a lot on, for what?
  23. They dont restrict tote betting do they? ?
  24. Well I was kind of meaning the tab not accepting a ten grand bet,acting responsible in not accepting,irrelevant in the conversation I spose.
  25. Well I was quoting my own comments lol
