Galah, TAB has been sniffing too many fumes from the cars stuck in congestion, it's not good for the mind, too much inhalation, while he pisses me off with some of the crap he writes he is entitled to his opinion, even if it's the opposite of most of us, but just one remark TAB says in regards to turnover in suggesting much of the turnover on Canterbury harness is bet from the North Isaland, well by population numbers you would think so but if that money is bet on meetings in Canterbury why is that and not bet on Cambridge or A Park? And no I don't want to see harness shut up shop up North but business is business, sometimes good business decisions or hard decisions have to be made sometimes, ATC is no different.

As at 12pm Sunday, Cambridge still trying hard to get 5 drivers races. 4 looks definite, that's a major achievement in itself.

Good old Waverley, Trentham and Otaki taking up the slack again until new year, at least.

Have a Crack looks tempting.😁

Does it really matter, there is a winner in every race😁

Betting on horses to pay the rent 😵‍💫

Interestingly nominations now extended until Sunday morning, don't see that often.

Do you think if Blair Orange won he could claim to be the best in the World if he's only half as good as Dexter Dunn?

14 noms for 2 trots, 9 noms for another race, strangely a 1 and 2 win 3yo race, why a restricted to 3yo, and 28 noms for 2 other paces races for World Drivers champs at Cambridge, be interesting to see how they sort this all out.

Just as well interest rates are low lol.

I'm a day ahead of myself, noms, tomorrow lol.

Gamma, I do love your optimism.

Only 10 for 2 races at Kaikoura for drivers champs , no emergency runner, noms close today for Cambridge, 2 trots, 2 Pacing races, will they get enough numbers, that's the big questions.

Must have just thrown last 3 in as a afterthought, be interesting to know if there is a cashout, don't think it states so in the futures market so that may well suggest no, but i will go check anyway but it seems it's just sit and wait, be a nervous one.

When was race 6 at New Plymouth run or what day were any of them run, these bets must be futures markets, do they ever have top 4 on futures, seems a bit far fetched to me but I could be wrong, if Bucharoo don't start bet is over, maybe will get his 7 bucks back in bonus cash or something. Will he be offered a cashout ?

Ashburton gallops on Friday so how did that happened in regards to Methven but I think Methven race in December, musical cheers with racedays sometimes it seems.

6 races is doing well for Cambridge, buf yes as it stands everyone gets a drive but any scratching and it won't, I imagine if they don't get a drive they must just average out their points. And galah I think Methven havnt lost a day, it's just gone from Friday.

Maybe the real issue is is that Awapuni when it's wet is just simply a wet shitehole, and probably always will be, which means that despite all the hairbrain ideas about closing many tracks down and shifting the load onto supposedly better tracks as in centralisation is just bullshit, maybe Awapuni and Hastings may be fine but just not able to take the workload these knowalls would want, so in theory closing many tracks just ain't practical in reality. Ascot Park in recent times seems to be a lot better than it was in the past, but it only races 7 times a season, there may be the reason,and just imagine how different it might be if Gore and Riverton were moved there, we need to stop trying to follow everything they do in aussie and realise it's colder and wetter in NZ mostly so Messaras ideas might work in aus but not really worth a pinch of shit here. How much easier is it for the Harness guys with mostly all weather tracks?

And Messara suggested Riverton and Gore move to Ascot Park with its Moonie Valley straight, yet Winton which is probably the driest climate wise is decommisioned, weird indeed.

3 races of 3 at Kaikoura all short on numbers for day 1. Drivers champs. And that's not Cambridge.

Bit of a shambles all around regarding Gore, not sure they will get another date, a new date at Riverton Sunday compensates I guess, wee bit odd just 2 days before Wingatui, by this time last year they had no races in Southland , this spring might be worse than last year, not unique for Southland though. Seems Gore wanted to pull pin before Thursday but NZTR knew better, or thought they did.

It will be, gotta try and balance the books.

10 days now until Cambridge round of drivers championship, where are Cambridge getting their fields from, or has Brad Steele got everything on target ?

Were our lot included in the World tote pool on the Cox Plate ? That $1.90 paid out on the winner, great.

But the markets will now be in disarray again, will he won't he, maybe maybe not lol.
