  1. You like water crest?
  2. Maybe a lot of the all stars friends and associates liked the odds as well,in reality it's a very murky situation with the all stars with several in the same race,cant be easy for anyone really,I'd say it's doing harness racing a lot of negativity,maybe there is a reason that the country meetings are creating such good turnovers and some meetings doing poorly.
  3. I wonder what Vin Knight would get if he was driving today
  4. Now that Mark Cookson or Crooksons gone home just take note of the crap being dished up on trackside,its just wall to wall poop really,time to turn off,anybody sitting through this all night must have issues.
  5. I could have put it on something paying a dollar 5,at least I would have got something lol,I might stick it on the spitfire.
  6. So there were 2 late scratchings,when were they scratched,must have been close to start time.
  7. Gee I dont have a mrs,that's why I'm here all the time lol and frankly who gives a shit anyway,anyway can someone help me,that trotting race before had only 6 runners yet tote paid out 3 divvies,how does that come about?
  8. Strange irony is that nz racing was at its strongest before the days of all these races,often one meeting raceday and no sports or fixed odds,maybe racings a victim of overkill and alternitives.
  9. I remember there was a million dollar pick6 at addington one night,I think it was oaks night,(may)and one syndicate spent a huge sum to try and catch the fish,they backed 13 horses in the first race to get a good start,and you wouldn't believe it but the rank outsider in the 14 horse field won,the odds of that happening not great but they lost bigtime through,not sure if they just gave the prize to 5 winners,sometimes the prize only went to the ones who had tickets that stayed alive longest,probably that sort of result would put you off punting for a while but that's gambling I guess.
  10. I'm basically a win and place better,we all have our favorites,and I will stress not a very good one,others might be a one or two big bets a day,exotics are obviously chasing larger returns but personally i just cant study the form that intensely so dont bother often,sports betting,are you into that,everyones different,can anybody say in all honesty they win at this game,not just in the short term but the long term,i know I havnt and it ain't for the lack of trying,this is not a easy game to be in.
  11. Dont seem to be anyone wanting to buy my bonus bet,for what's it worth I was just having a laugh,i will find something to stick it on but what?
  12. Just looked on you tube at the video,not so awesome now,seemed so at the time though,lots of good horses out of aussie over the years,not perhaps as strong at present,just to add lots of good races on you tube.
  13. Gammalite,one good horse,so was that preux chevalier,excuse the spelling but I think the most awesome horse I ever saw was Village Kid,I think that was his name,always remember an interdom final he was in,drew wide and the early speed going into that first corner I've never forgotten,think it was Albion Park,others must remember that run.
  14. Anybody want to buy my $10 dollar bonus bet off me,come on people make me an offer,starting at $50😂
  15. Gee its certainly changed,Richmond use to race 3 days in a row I think,Blenheim as well
  16. Maybe his indicator wasn't working.
  17. Racing club,Wingatui,trot club,Oamaru,grass.
  18. Bit of a battle Waikouaiti when wet,no more though aye.
  19. I think they ran the slowest 2 mile trot ever didn't they,track was a bit sticky
  20. Purdon has the all stars,Dennis O has the all sorts team,in many ways though following his team is more interesting.
  21. And the wizard,the magic man,postman,there is another but it eludes me.
  22. Just to add at present I dont have sky either,I still have the decoder and get my freeview stations through that and trackside as well,in all reality I'm not missing it,i dont even watch trackside much either,the wall to wall meaningless crap they are screening is no interest to me,but if there is a race I specifically want to see I will try to make it,I'm more a audio fan,too busy sometimes to watch tv but i can also watch a replay of a race through hrnz site in my own time.
  23. The last tuesday meet at Palmy did less than 400000,that dont seem much,is it? One must remember it is a industry meeting so I'm not sure what's good or not.
