  1. You have me confused on this one🙄
  2. Now now nomates, I often wonder about people who spent too much time online. Just as I do about those who accept mediocrity. Have you ever listened to the farm session, very informative,? Senz= very repetitive, amatuerish, anyway I'm done with this subject, just see if I'm right in time, radio sport died a slow death, how long will they survive in NZ ,? Maybe if noone points out their thoughts then maybe the wont wake up.

    Blenheim

    I was thinking the same thing, it's used for trials but gee what a waste.
  4. Next week Mr Hosking is back on ZB, the speaker for the opposition in this country, one underestimates the part radio plays, that all night talk on zb has got a big following, talking about mental health, surely the time people spent not sleeping cant be healthy all the time, I actually had a listen to the draw for the Karaka races, absolutely riveting lol,pity they didn't do Gores races as well lol. Guerin always seems to pop up all the time, claims to be a professional punter, must have just had a bad day on cup day producing a 60 cent return for someone elses dollar, mind you it wasn't his money to lose so easy come , easy go. Ps, these sites can be addictive, sometimes productive, interesting to share ideas, makes one realise one is not the only one with thoughts on issues, gee where is this all leading too,?
  5. Funny thing really is that if the players playing fail they get rid of the coach who isn't playing, who would want that job,?
  6. I think the Djokovic's episode was a complete shambles too, like it or not in the last 15 years we've seen 3 of the greatest players ever at the same time, imagine if 2 of them hadn't have been playing at the same time, how many wins would they have won, sure there are always going to be other players but highly doubtful any of the new lot will ever reach the standards of the big three.
  7. Gee I've spent, (wasted) a fair bit of time on senz, their programming schedule or schizophrenia type scheduling makes it hard to follow, announcing the draw is one thing, broadcasting the race or any other race for that matter that's the dilemma and producing a programme that's worth listening too. They dont even have a programme guide on the app anymore and hey I dont and wouldn't listen to any radio setup all day, there is always something for everyone at certain times but the racing setup is just a complete shambles, apparently they put 25 each way on a horse at Orari a month or two back for the punters club, then when it broke in the lead up to the race they decided not to broadcast the race, sad as it was that's pathetic.
  8. Djockovic, if he has broken any law, then he should be made most welcome in Australia, weren't that long ago you actually had to be a criminal to get to oz gee they must have short memories.
  9. Impossible trying to read the comments on you tube lol How does anybody prepare for a grand slam match with all these issues ?
  10. Magic for me lol, I'm not worrying about senz but you need to admit, it is a good opportunity lost, game set and match lol.
  11. Whether Djokovic's plays or not he is only one man, tennis as in all sports goes on, womens tennis is more interesting without Serina Williams, good player no doubt and she to is free to play but she is over the hill.
  12. I wonder if senz are covering that, or maybe another rerun of baz and izzy or something.
  13. Maybe we should start focusing on the Australian open,that's tennis in case you dont know, it starts tomorrow in case noone had noticed lol.
  14. I actually wonder how long the NZ division of senz will keep going, its 11 o cock sunday morning, they have just finished another rerun of tales of the turf followed by another rerun, best of the saturday session, people want live radio not repeat after repeat, trotstalk follows at 12 yet Waterlea start racing about 12 20 so if your a harness fan where are you going to focus ? Newstalk zb run 2 12 to 3 sports shows at the weekend yet senz often try to compete by having their own sports show at same time, sure you can listen on demand but unless it's something out of the ordinary I dont and I spose lots of others dont, seems whoever is doing the scheduling must be a fuckin halfwit, maybe the racing coverage might rest with TAB, maybe senz, who knows but no racing on boxing day and now 2 saturdays in a row something's seriously going wrong here, do i really care, not anymore, how many others are the same, ? Do I really care,?, maybe we've all got that attatude that has got radio and racing to the point it's at. Like it or not Trentham yesterday for supposedly one of the bigger days on the summer was a pretty average day, small fields, probably a small crowd, things are pretty fucked really, if the product is crap we just turn off.
  15. i wonder if people are listening to senz at all and if not I wonder if they have worked out why.
  16. Only one day since Xmas day, a no goer again today with racing, oh dear, how sad, never mind.
  17. I've often wondered why Westport Trotting club is not paying some of the biggest stakes for the whole calandar, their turnover on boxing day is one of the biggest days of harness for the season, turnover wise, money must be being directed elsewhere.
  18. Attendances at sports events,races in Auckland are for the people living there very poor, probably only a few days they turn up for Ellerslie, probably hardly ever for Alexandra Park. I guess there are more other alternatives in the big city as opposed to the rural areas. I dont think Coasters need to worry about the future, they have their place just as much as the bigwig clubs, as long as the public and the trainers support it it will keep on keeping on, the fields this year were generally pretty good, keeping the amenities up to scratch, that's always gunna be a issue.
  19. Reefton on course including phone betting, how do they know such figures ?, Can they track where a bet is taken from ?
  20. Forbury are paying $9000 stakes at their meeting coming up at Wyndham, if they sell their land and keep the money they might be able to pay $90000 instead😄
  21. Not even if they had a TAB account and a smartphone ?
  22. Seems a bit of a wasted track, Richmond, Waterlea dont even race on theirs,all weather that is, probably run trials on them but they must need to be maintained to some standard but for how long?
  23. If you download the senz app you can watch trackside, unfortunately it only does trackside 1, so if you wanna watch something on trackside 2, tough titty.
  24. Seems simple to me, as long as there is a Forbury club they would keep the money, even if they become a one day a year club. Other clubs sell land to put themselves in a better financial position, same applies here.
  25. No radio coverage on senz, that's boxing day and now today, they are treating the racing public with disdain this lot,when I'm out and about now I just dont bother now,listen to music or talkback, never mind. As for trackside I find it a hard watch but I dont watch it too long so it dont bother me anyway.
