Huey do you not think those dates are not good, what else would you have done ?

Just a look over the calendar, dont look any different than season just finishing but I'm not up with everything.

Last time it was Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday so this is probably better. And definitely better than nothing.

Is that Mikey me or another, ?

January 3 Greymouth January 6. Kumara Jan 9 Reefton Seems logical enough. Dates 4 next year.

E sports is the place to be, imagine playing and betting on the same game, can't go wrong aye🤣

Still got the Waimate and Oamaru cups to strive for.

Not uncommon for some horses to switch their gait And not uncommon for some to race week in week out and pick up a good number of wins, the ratings system allows this. Still don't change the fact horses like Take After Me, Alex, just good honest tryers

The only problem gambling that betting company's worry about is punters who win, losers are most welcome. Short term gain for long term pain is the only way I see this turning out, Entain will entice geo blocking with a lump some that's very tempting, if they get the monopoly then you can take it ir leave it. Most of the betting on TAB racing is on NZ racing, have you seen the size of the non commingled pools on lots of the lower class aussie racing? No doubt the big racing in aussie is a exception, lots of interest in that and rightly so, the product is good. I really can't see how this is any better than the present setup, everyone grizzles about the present lot but better the devil you know than the devil who's lurking. Leave it to the experts they know what they are doing, supposedly.

Not a patch on Alexy.

Once again me 2 little deposits at the TAB yielded nothing, even backed Willie Pike winning the last at Albany friday first bet but by Sunday it's gone, football is such a complex game. Gambling is just a bit of fun for me, some want to be serious good for them, I can live without.

You not duckshooting Freda? Or anybody else for that matter.

i get a e mail from betway, i fluff around there, purely fun, boost the price for Roma v Milan on over 0 goals boosted fom 1 08 to 2 bucks, maximun bet 2.11, why would they even bother. Ladbrokes in the uk would have been the meanest when it comes to bonuses, i played on those sites for a while,who owns Entain ?

You might be right Doomed, or i could be from the not so deep south, which part of nz are you, I suspect somewhere in the lower Noth Island. Reefton showed how mixed up he was when he mentioned the heavy wallet lol.

Reefton, how did you know ?

It's not always perfect at Timaru but most times it's a step up from Riccarton

I'm struggling with my weight 2😆

Strange coincidence, O Connell is back at Ascot Park Saturday.

O Connell, he may have issues which don't need to be aired on here as we all do, I don't air mine either and I've got plenty at present but he was certainly a regular attended. Alexy and Four Starz Shirraz, certainly got the best out of them.

Dennis O Connell seems to have stopped going to the races lately, a regular from Canterbury to Southland, noticeable by his absence.

Brodie I know your views well but I honestly believe nought will change with this new lot either not that I'm saying good or bad I just don't believe much will change.

That's probably a bit on the small side for gallopers

How big Is the polytrack at Awapuni,

Some of that aussie midweek stuff, it's pretty ordinary, I've just got it here things going on on life, as I said I have a bit of a burst on the TAB and j only play with a few bucks but it's important the TAB look after the big punters, don't chase them away, the new lot want geo blocking to rein them into one betting site but if they do don't chase them out of the game I always check out NZ fields to see who's running, the betting not my priority these days.

Special Agent, I've been following horse racing for 45 years, probably more, so it's just the same old stuff week after week, year after year, the new betting setup probably won't change things, maybe if they have a online casino, that may drag some in but those people probably ain't interested in horse racing anyhow, I just find trackside is fine as long as you don't over do it. Lots of days I don't even turn it on or the tv either, it's kind of the same with all the online stuff, everything gets a bit tedious, watching rugby is another past time I hardly bother with. As I stated before I still are interested but I have me few dollars, when it's gone I'm done, I've played the online casinos, watched and bet on horse racing heaps over the years, and the sport and I play lotto too, lotto, I have same numbers draw after draw, buy a few Xtra tickets if the pool gets big but I know my limits, haven't always been like that, be fair to say I overdid the money and time spent but thats life, lots to tempt us I guess. Getting back to trackside, as I say I can't watch all day, Saturday arvos are fine for a while but a lot of the midweek days ain't really much interest nowadays and judging by the pools for non commingled exotics from aussie racing there ain't as much interest in NZ as some believe it to be.
