All the Southern meetings seem to be rinse and repeat, same old same old week after week, Wyndham last week I watched a race or two, looked like there was s hardly a soul on track, seemed Mark Cookson on TV even seemed a big bored by it all, bit different from Cup day, you actually wonder if moving all the days to midweek will further negatively effect interest, only time will tell, maybe the Financials may tell a different story. Back to Manawatu, it looks obvious the Cambridge meeting on Friday has affected the numbers of Northeners showing up, and in some ways why would they yet numbers from the CD ain't as bad as it has been, question is are there enough numbers to sustain more dates, in reality probably not.

Even Einstien wouldn't tip out Nazareth, makes those that did look rather stupid.

Palmerston North still run a meeting with only ten or so northern visitors, if they dont run mini meetings then its probably goodnight nurse for cd harness Winton today, while a bit better not much though, not sure if the weather having some influence, maybe too much racing or simply not as many training horses these days.

Personally I find the presenters shoving a Mike in driver's faces straight after the race when still on the track a bit annoying, plenty of time afterwards.

No confusion but it seems everythings bonus cash which at least lets you break it up. Is it just me or others but I only get races 1 and 2 for Riccarton , Flemington and Rosehill for bonus back, some i believe get races 1 to 4, is this correct?

It appears bonus cash is back to 7 days.

You may have answered your own question. On a slightly different note would be interesting to know how many people have a uhf aerial as opposed to a dish, as for streaming, it's airy fairy many times, contrary to what many say TV from a dish/ aerial is still going to be around for a while, the numbers who stream as opposed to watching standard TV for sports is miles behind., streaming is good as a go too, not a have too,NZ Cricket taught us that.

Well Trackside Premier is being screened on TV through TVNZ, not sky, why I don't know but it's also streamed on trackside.co.nz and also tvnz+, it all gets rather confusing over time, it's not bothering me either way but it seems Entain are widening it's audience reach by linking with TVNZ, many don't have sky, many can't or don't stream.

Trackside 1 and 2 are also on freeview uhf in high definition but I note the duke channel is screening a NFL match shortly which ain't in high definition but some programme's on Duke one are in high definition, Dukes second channel appears not to be so it's probably correct the feed for TVNZ s a stream and TVNZ is moving to a more app based setup, it may well be that the stream is better quality than perhaps the TV but as usual many have issues streaming for various reasons.

The Trackside Premier channel is on TVNZ, and being played through the duke2 channel, and it's not in high definition, 504 through the sky box, tomorrow's race is on TV1, I note it's not in high definition, I still got old TV and will continue to so until it don't go no more, I find picture fine but might be different for those with large screens.

24 hours now it seems, personally I think Entain would love me, they get more from me than I get from them

Back to new years eve it seems it might be a one off race, will it get much support, no other build up races, maybe southerners will go to invers and bypass Auckland completely and it New Years eve.

Only got 2 at Flemington at this point.

Interestingly seems bonus back now only on first two races, didn't it use to be races 1 to 4 ?

Geo blocking takes away choice, I'm also curious as to are they wanting to get block casino sites too, that will pass a whole lot of people if they did that who more than likely don't give two hoots about horse racing.

No more Tussdays at Cambridge it seems until March. Manawatu start on Monday, reasonable numbers, 6 races.

Be a bugger if the track was stuffed after yesterday and had to race the Cup Meeting on the Synthetic track.

Always strikes me as a big bag of wind.

You must have been on Channel 62

Easy way to break the boredom, turn it off but the key is turn it off in the week leading up, it does get rather tiresome same old same old.

Talk about time between races, but Invercargill drew up fields on Monday for a meeting on Sunday, that too seems a long time to me.

I only need one roughy winning to pass the field😀

By my reckoning the main road into Wyndham must be getting close to being closed, there is another way in or out but it's a bit longer.
