Shad are you stating you lost money because of the track? I lose no matter what state the tracks in but as it stands I've won the princely sum of seven dollars today which while not a lot is actually pretty good for me.🤫

I think the young lady interviewing does ok but just straight after the race, everyone is hyped up, need time to calm down and perhaps be a bit more reflective but it is what is, bet 95% of those turning up tonight at Cambridge will be noticeable by their absence next week or whenever.

Copy That just to good but that draw at Cambridge especially is so crucial, B D Joe seems to get bad draws but in reality there were only 4 or 5 realistic chances. I watched but if I was listening I would have got the idea Self Assured was looking likely in the last bit but was never looking likely. I find the tv coverage all a bit rushed, that Jason Teaz type show would be ideal on a night like this, why not run it on free to air channel, let the trackside crew do their job for the whole night, just let trackside join in when it suits. Just my thoughts. Back to the race the only thing that would have beaten Copy That was bad luck as in a bad draw.

Next race is make or break I reckon.

If there is any spots left I'm in ok.

I hear that one of the local pubs around here have pulled the self serve machines and I don't think they screen the races either, changing times, we all have the info on our mobiles, everyone's different in how they bet or get info or bet but it's probably no longer worth the hassle 4 many pubs to be bothered with.

Probably just making the rich get richer but it's still positive I guess.

I have serious doubts about all of it but at least they will sort out problem gambling by offering a whole lot more services.

He didn't ask what happens after the sweetners if they shut out the opposition, will there be any after that or will it be business as normal.

Is that to be in top four ?

I know we have moved on from vcr but judging by the number of cassettes here they have done a fair bit of work, they were simply of their time, we moved to disc then to the hard drive but as long as each system works we keep using them, I chucked a few tapes out that had mould but played through a heap more to see if they play, some are fine, playing crappy tapes is the best way to stuff ya player or foul up the heads, I got some sports vids that I won't watch probably but someone may want them it's amazing how much stuff we gather over the years, as I get older I wonder why.

9 and a half thousand in the main quaddie suggest modest interest in this meeting betting wise.

Still plenty of good horses in NZ, only normal they cross the tasman for the bigger races.

Odd as it is. Saturday harness meets in NZ get lost in the crowd of feature gallops meeting.

Maybe a alternative handicap🤣

Note, no aussie betting, no aussie online betting sites, no lotto, no super rugby, no anything really so racing was almost the only game in town, times change.

Shad, have you tried the vcr,or to see if the tape still works ? Biggest problems are tapes don't always age well and of course vcrs don't either,they probably can't repair them, I got 2, played them recently, still work fine but if you play dodgy tape keeps fouling up the heads. There was a clip of it on you tube, the smash in the derby

Back the field, guaranteed to win every race.

A day meet for Addington, will be interesting to see how it competes with the normal Saturday racing.

Brodie don't worry if you can't bet anymore, it's a silly habit anyway As for harness racing nought much will change, once the infrastructure is fucked its fucked as in numbers declining Note one again, smallish fields at Winton despite no racing last week

Did I not see James Mac riding today?

Would Putin want to be destroyed ?

Don't know, but builders of tanks and amoury will be happy, build some more now.

Im starting to believe this whole website is declining, might be slowly going out of fashion, even racing forums aint much chop, i try to jazz it up but seems to no avail, hence a free for all forum. Luxon aint pm material, Hipkins is in the job but not voted in, Seymour should seek the top job if forming a coalition but would he walk the walk, easy to be in opposition, still reckon Hosking should have a go, otherwise his show and himself become pointless, bit like the boy who cried wolf, after a while we stop listening, that airhead he lives with has a show in the early hours, same old crap day after day. Womens sport gets a imbalance on free to air tv, but who would pay to watch this so called super rugby, in fact who would bother with the male version, without South Africa, its just a NZ benefit ,only the Brumbies seem the only team much chop outside NZ, spose they gotta fabricate something to screen on sky. Now Auckland might have a team in the A league, no one attends sports events there now, not that many go to Wellington but at least they have lasted which cant be bad for soccer in NZ All Whites might have easy path to World cup but that wont make them better, no big games in NZ like Peru, Bahrein, Mexico, just Fiji or Vanuatu, Fifa are watering product down, Crickets doing it too with all the meaning less crap that keeps cropping up.test Cricket is still number 1, 50 overs seems outdated but 20 20 is just a revenue earner, for the players and the coffers, Cricket in NZ shot itself by going to Spark.

How can I keep this thread going, maybe a nude picture or something, not sure how Chief Stipe would react. Plenty to talk about, from Chris Hopkins v Luxon, there is Cricket, League, women's sport always seems topical, women in general are rather topical.
