  1. Seems a mix up here,no 1 Matai Jetstar,something is fucked up check it out if you want with nzhr site,a trotting winner racing in a non winners pace,I think they got a wrong name. Maybe I'm wrong here somewhere.
  2. Why all of a sudden after a large chunk of the season racing on Wednesdays and Thursdays does Southland now have a string of saturdays,strange as it is club rugby starts today,racing and rugby often go hand in hand so why in spring especially are they shunted on to unattractive days,will the turnovers on a Saturday as meeting 3 be the better or worse then racing midweek,some of the scheduling is an enigma to me.
  3. No I think he was a bit ignorant
  4. There was one guy on radio who miss pronounced things from time to time,got rather annoying though when he kept doing it.
  5. I also get the impression that some of the presenters ain't that fussed being stuck in a studio all day,O'Connor didn't last long,a jobs a job I guess.
  6. You would think on a day like today and every saturday that the TAB would have sold off the frequencies with a deal to have free to air radio. Today ideally would be good if all NZ and main meetings from oz at least has some coverage,as I've stated it will be a sports station but please people tell me what sport is capturing the nation today? So days like today should be racings time. The online simulcast is fine to degree,as in if you are desperate to hear the eighth greyhound race from Mandurah at 10 35 on a cold winters night,if you are really keen then you will find a way. As for trying to promote sports betting,if the TAB dont have the sports betting then the younger people will just go elsewhere for their bets on the NBA,NRL ,MLB,premier league etc

    Hawera

    Today I don't think is holiday ,yesty was and Monday is,tomorrow is a bit of a grey area,maybe the Saturday Monday for Hawera may not be a goer but surely something around this time could be accommodated,racing finished in CD area by April is a wee bit short changing things.
  8. Maybe animations is the word I'm seeking.
  9. It's actually probably one of the slickest websites I think there is online,let's forget about the negatives as such like trying to get money out of them in some cases The live in play for sport actually intrigues me how they can have game amiinations,(I think that's the right word) live and up to the second from anywhere in the world is rather clever,how they do it ,it would be nice to know.
  10. They dont profit from winners. Just to add I often wonder how much they contribute to any sport or racing organisation in NZ,after all they take bets on our racing and all of our sport as well.
  11. 2 starters in the field with ratings in the 50s,now I ain't losing sleep over this but whats the rules on such things,can anyone enlighten me?
  12. What a great piece of literature.
  13. Spitfires back racing sunday,another crap draw but that dont seem to slow him down,nor that Waikouiti water😀

    Waimate

    Been doing some research on Waimate,just under 3 grand in the town,under 8 in the district,never hear much about the place,Norm Kirk is buried there,probably a lot of other people as well lol,in some ways the races were one if the most notable events to happen there,now it's gone,sad in many ways,I've been there a few times,I'm sure lots on here probably havnt,just a run of the mill country town basically.

  20. He might turn up just in time to go home,never mind northeners spend most of their life in traffic anyway🙄
  21. Just watching race 1 from palmy,not sure if the few people standing are humans or statues.
