Saturday night around 8 o clock.im not sure who the presenter is by name ,he's a regular ,pretty hard going really sitting through all the wall to wall stuff,not hard to see why O Connor lost interest,it must be hard after being on course to be housed in a studio,sad but true.

In reality you should do what you think is right,comments are only comments

If he goes well fresh then after 7 years he should win by the length of the straight.

The strangest thing of all is the TAB was probably its strongest when the days were only one meeting a day,no sports betting,just proves though more is not always best,we even get far too much sport these days but yes you have choice to switch off tv or turn off whatever,we can only absorb so much of anything.

Once upon a time I read a article about pathological gamblers,it claimed when people start betting on events they have no interest in,like races from some obscure place they never heard then that's when people are going AWOL,, it's true really,and with wall to wall racing from lots of obscure places the leaders of the tab are exploiting the situation,same in sport,some sport we can accept but a lot is just exploiting,I've done my share of fluffing around on sites too,betting sites are about cold hard facts and figures.

I reckon let's say if forbury wasn't wiped completely is to look at how many times there is say invercargill thursday ,addington friday sunday,there is no reason why those meetings once a month are scrubbed and forbury race friday ,main meeting,sunday low key meeting and have all the focus on them ,its no wonder that they have fallen with poor dates producing poor fields,once when they use to race pretty much as the main focus they were doing ok ,racing wise anyway,the difference with forbury is it adds variety being in the middle of canterbury and southland,under the new thinking it's just repeat after repeat,that gets uninteresting for lots of us over time.

Gee those otago trainers are gunna need to travel,as for stakes reverting to normal,will they ever?

He was on radio but that's gone so lucky he has job at all.

We have discussed the draft,some don't seem to make sense,Southland is one that baffles me.

One more question,what would you do different from the draft?

Are you sick of it already?invercargill thursday,addington friday and sunday,that seems to be the setup they want,we need variety.

I may bet on the nz tab again,but not till trackside radio is back on radio,that's the one thing that they have stuffed up on,well the biggest of many I should say.

Bank transfer is zero.

Are u still not betting?

As for bank transfer it will go through at the weekend ,it depends which bank you use.

Just do what I've done,,don't bother,its not hard if you try.

Another reason is the harness guys built there own all weather tracks with their own raised money.

Maybe Ricky May be best to opt out of driving there,if a hurdle was there, he's passed a lot in recent times so common sense on that one aye.

Maybe they should put a hurdle instead of the crossing,would certainly add some new interest to a day at the races

Some changes I can handle but right now I'm listening to Gifford and Barnett on zb,radio has so much to offer ,tv I can take or leave it.Once when sky got rugby/sport I used to think radio would become less and less relevant but it's still as relavent as ever.

I can accept trimming back tv coverage,maybe one decent channel with the excess going on website or whatever I don't care but radio,it covers so much more on one station its conveniant ,you can do so much whilst tuning ,tuning on smartphone simply ain't foolproof but its unreliable,racings a good radio product,so is test cricket ,waiting to see what next summer has in line,I suspect though that with rugby commentaries going back on zb through the radio sport stations this weekend maybe cricket will follow,even if it is only internationals which in reality was the only cricket I really watch on tv anyway,the rest I can take it or leave it.

Newmarket hi,I stopped the day they made all these changes,and will continue not betting with this lot for how long I've no idea,its a shambles.at present I'm not betting anywhere at all,the loss of radio just is insane.
