These are the afternoons when a good radio coverage would be good,I cant sit and watch tv all day,even if I could I wouldn't, dont mind tv but my life dont revolve around it.

How does it go so poor then go so good , as in being the favourite and winning then revert to going so bad?

So ok what would you do to make it better?

Just another thought, Tuepeka are racing I think at Ascot Park on Sunday at labour weekend, I wonder if they have investigated the possibility of racing at Roxburg, where do the committee actually live.?

Only 7 races too.

Might have been a pervert😄

As I explained before when Devlin replaced Telfer on radio sport that's when I stopped listening, after that it was only live commentary on cricket. Senz at least have got a good announcer in Ian Smith, some may not like him but he's been there done it and has a mature look at issues. Here is a question for anyone.......Do you listen to the simulcast of racing on rova or the tab website.

I'm not sure if the problem is the people hosting the show or the management behind the scenes, it's the management that needs to get this better, the punters club should include the people in it, the guys in the studio are free to spend someone else's money so don't care,,as you say you like to hear where your horse finishes I note that in America they only ever call the first four, something I have noticed. They are getting their feed from trackside so it don't matter if some of it overlaps on to the radio, newstalk get their clips of the sky commentary so it don't matter. There is no guarantee that senz will last long, who knows, yes it probably has a number of listeners but do they have enough, or advertisers that all remains to be seen,. Radio is a fickle business.

Strange as it is I don't buy power ball, like even if my 6 numbers come up what are the odds of getting 1 out of ten, I do buy a lucky dip if it gets a bigger pool, there is a reason why it never gets struck anyway Maybe horse racing needs some bigger prizes to get people more interested, like it can't be as hard to win as lotto but you still need to spend a bit to win a bit, but as in all gambling nothing is certain.

That lotto miss was in the days when the division 1 was around the 1.3 million every week, no one won so maybe if I'd got the win will never know if I would have got the lot, I've had 5 numbers about 10 times but that 5 out of 7 not 5 out of 6. As this was a betting on the place thread another form of betting that is similar is betting on football, its 24 and 7, games on all the time, betting on overs and unders, that goals, it looks easy but as with horse you can get tripped up by one one or two bad results.

I thought all things considered the fields for Gore were reasonably good based on the very small numbers at the end of last season, helped though by a few Canterbury visitors, had Canterbury had a meeting who knows what would have happened?

Some of senz timing for a radio show is a bit hard to fathom, yesty they have a sports talk show, running at the same time as zb had theirs, that zb one is fairly established. As for racing you just never know what you are going to get, they did the races yesty from both meetings but didn't do the last from Banks Peninsula, after5 and had a rerun of something else, gee even if they clearly stated that they say for instance did the last 5 races for the day which includes the late quaddie at least you know. Strange as it is our appetite for the gallops from oz on Saturday, once upon a time all we got on radio was nz racing, never thought anything about it , now because of trackside radio we expect it but the Saturday arvo setup needs to be run like the old trackside, it's just a bit too much time lagging . As a radio station they ain't worried about tab turnover but listening numbers, the more that would tune in on a Saturday arvo the better overall result for everyone. The simple reality is I like a lot of others don't have all day to watch TV nor fluff around with apps, radio is still and will always have its place for many things whether it's news music or sport.

There was no top 4 option when I was picking these three, none at Tauranga gallops either,however history now, if I was a serious punter then unlike Addington on Fridays probably would not have taken those bets, grass track is popular with punters, lots of good price winners, only trouble is finding them and backing them, not easy.

Picking comp yesty on other site,for yesty picks I got last,well I did beat 3 or 4 but they never posted any picks lol yet day before did well. As for lotto I have had the misfortune once of getting five numbers and being one off with the other you cant get closer than that.😒

Ok here are 3 place picks Race 8 4 Scared Stiff at 3 30 FO Race 9Rockonroll Diva at 3 30 FO Race 10 Beyond the Horizon at 4. No top 4 options today I notice. Let's say 1000 place on all.only one needed to win, the one I would be most confident of winning is the trotter but the grass track is a different kettle of fish so the other two, unknown quantity.

Never had a go last night,simply too busy, would I try the big place bet theory on the big grass track, hard to know. As for the guy with his sports multi, picking 5 results never easy,that's why you have the any 3 or 4 winners options.

Speaking of Winston I hear he was getting stuck into the government the other day, he created it, what a Jekyll and Hyde.

Does anybody know what they are doing with Victoria Park.

I will post some winners tomorrow night😁

Karrots are you joining the que after midnight for KFC ?

Probably find 50 more may go around Alexandra Park friday.

What is the obsession with queuing for miles for KFC,it is good but really,I've only had KFC about once in 18 months, I do eat chook but as I hardly go to town much that don't make it easy. Tried that KFC hot and spicy, it was hot but apart from that didn't excite me. As for Cambridge gee day one on the new track was a momentous occasion, now hardly even gets noticed, just another day of industry, I bet most of the people who went were probably one day wonders.

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.

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 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..
