  1. That nor'easter is what makes Dunedin so chilly,maybe they have a roof over the rugby ground but I bet it's still probably no warmer than carisbrook, just drier.
  2. Before they started transmission I did state that their idea of trackside radio was this type of format, a question was asked by a text as to why they don't do the Aussie races, guy on radio said they are working on it, today they did the 2 NZ meetings after one but there is just a bit too much time between races, the guy fronting the programme used to be on trackside so may be a little frustrated by this format but give them time, the race programmes are longer and they are on sunday as well so let's just see, hopefully it will improve. To be in the punters club you need to have a TAB account but one thing they should do is let the people who are in the punters club do the picking. Overall though as a radio setup I think they are ok, I don't listen to them all the time, I don't watch horses on trackside all the time but done right it could do well or at least stay in business.
  3. 3 picks, Daisy Duke in the next, race 5 Get lucky in the late trot Robns Shadow in race 9 All paying over 2 for the place, same story two wins I make a profit, only one I lose..
  4. I like the look of me being a reigning champ, never seems to transfer to real life but that's life. When one actually looks at it probably punting on place bets like these games is probably the least risk way to make some coin, was listening to senz yesty afternoon and the guy from the TAB was reading off all the big bets, all for the win and probably most of them didn't, with the top3 or top4 they seem like good ways to accumulate, trying to pick the first three or four or pick 6 sure has a higher return but less likely return anything. Betting on the fixed odds though if you won too often too easily then the TAB would restrict you, winners don't earn them money, losers do 4 o clock for me this morning, that's even late by my standards but as I say there is plenty of sport on the other side of the world to follow,. In keeping in line with the thread I'm gunna sort out some picks for Oamaru, not so confident at Oamaru, Addington form is pretty consistent really.
  5. Might need more practise perhaps before using real dish lol. Are you a punter?
  6. I could do with $4800. I was looking at a horse in the next, Folklore but will just watch and see.
  7. Ok I'm a bit tired today and a bit busy so here is a couple I've sorted Race 5 I think it is, American Sniper 2000 a place,2 40 FO Last race, Life of Art, 1000 a place at 2 40 Fixed. American Sniper needs to place or I lose, strange as it I am very accomplished at that already 😂
  8. You ain't the most regular poster, I don't think I am either but we can spend a lot of time online, gee how did we exist before the net, as for me being here at 6 in the morning, sometimes I have a habit of going to sleep on the couch, then waking up at some odd hour, sometimes 2 or 3 or 4 in the morn then I go to bed, sometimes I listen to zb, sometimes I follow the football from Europe, sometimes watch you tube, one thing leads to another and when I should be dead to the world I'm still awake, no one can deny the net and our computer, smartphones are very addictive.. As for the picking comp may look into that tomorrow, the other site does has a comp on a Saturday sorting out some picks can take up a lot of time, lots of toil for little return, life can be like that sometimes too. A
  9. That was the time it was when I posted ok, are we done on this one now?
  10. Bonnies Chance never liked Alexandra Park or never had the luck go her way, a great horse though, got a shit run in 81 Cup won by Armalight but got redemption a year later, Richard Brossnan in many ways was a bit too much of a sit back sort, some of those Aussies that came to nz would always go for it, probably the smaller tracks at home created those driving methods but some of the horse power they had was pretty impressive
  11. Jacindas making a big deal over covid, other than that the cupboard is bare of anything of much use to nz, Winston must have seen something no one else did. When the one o clock sermon comes on the radio that's the time to turn off and go do something useful. To think she ended up in the job over someone like Bill English defies logic, William was not the be all and end all but a pretty steady hand none the less.
  12. Sometimes chat does move off topic, it wasn't me who mentioned the lockdown.
  13. Auckland should stay in lockdown until those two arseholesj who flew to wanaka for a weekend away are exposed publicly or jailed for a week or two, maybe more, they give Auckland a bad image but there are probably a lot like them.
  14. 6 o cock in the morning, you got nought better to do?
  15. Hey I haven't watched trackside much lately,do they still work in a studio or have they changed that idea or have they just changed because of the lockdown.
  16. I should add ,Henry Skinner may have driven the horse sometimes, I see it was trained by Ali Malcolmson near the end of its racing suggesting it needed the beach training, he ended up with a few others for the same reason.
  17. Probably the best call of a race Reon Murtha did, it summed the moment up nicely, it's on you tube that race. No Response was the other race that springs to mind.
  18. Whittaker is 85, retired now,another of that great era of singers coming to the end, another great singer, Tom T Hall died two weeks ago, he was 85 too, great watching or listening to music on you tube, mostly looking at stuff you wouldn't find anywhere else,.
  19. If only it was so easy to make a grand plus in no time, if only lord if only to use the words of Roger Whittaker.
  20. Hey you lol,American Sniper would be the best of those three.
  21. Ok after some intense study I have come up with these three. Race 2 Melodys Mischief. FO 2.90 Race 7 American sniper. FO 2.20 Race 11 Evangelist. FO 2.20. If one was putting real cash on these for place betting you would more than double your cash if they all placed , 2 would get money back plus some and one would make a loss which is what I normally do most times anyway lol.
