9 races at Ascot Park friday,first meeting in south for almost 3 weeks and 3 weeks to the day until another one Wingatui,should be good numbers and will probably be a stand alone meeting as well,is 3 weeks too long between meetings?

Fair comment.

If forbury built a track for harness racing at Wingatui that wouldn't be so bad,use the facility more,it will be interesting to see how forbury go when they race next week.

That was another shambles,hundreds and thousands of healthy cattle killed off,should have been ashamed of themselves and now we have a halfwit drawing up draconian halfbaked ideas for farmers to adhere too in this supposed clean water policy,what a joke this lot in govt are.

He did win by distance and in good times but seems to be a horse that the luck's just not with him simple as that,the southerners have been thin on the ground in recent times but Robyn's Playboy does seem a good sort so something to get enthused about I guess

I am aware that Westport is not cup class and Canterbury is not Cantwrbury lol

And adding to that recently I do reckon that the southern gallops are producing better more interesting fields and racing

There is so much racing that the fields do become repetitive,many times the top class races have small fields,one thing I've noticed in recent years is when Westport race the main race seems to have smaller fields nowadays,so much racing in Cantwrbury less travel.

3 or 4 short priced winners today,maybe that may be why Metbven gets more interest.

UMC,two last in two starts,has this horse lost his mojo?

Pete's Dash another driver today,junior driver,paying 34 any takers.

True.

1 question,if forbury was sold would they build a all weather trotting track or maybe a all weather galloping track,doesn't say.

The situation with Gore at the moment is another cock up,the race club will have reduced income with no trotting putting the race club under pressure,it is true that each need each other,in reality the clubs ain't the problems it's the a holes making decisions.

A few years back there was a study done into southern racing,it suggested shifting everything to winton,based on climate and other factors,so what happens later on,gallops shut up shop,when will the confusion end?

In times gone by most if not all of the trotting clubs have funded there own tracks,strangely 2 are sitting idle at present.

Cant remember

He had a bucket with him before the race this guy does he think that someone might mug him and steal a bucket of dog shit?

I did say at the meetings where no one goes,Kaikoura and Cup day just a bit different

The amount of time you spend on here,do you ever work?🙂

Probably fair to say most people bet online oncourse now,but a big screen would still be the way to check out the odds.

But when you think of it why not have smartphone betting only for many of the meetings that only have a few people,you would still want a larger screen to look at oncourse coz squinting into these farty arse things ain't easy over time,more and more people are using devices but instead of filling in a card just bet on the screen,if you ain't got a account with tab just have a cashier on course you deposit funds and just get a code number you can use for the day,when you wanna go home just cashup and your done and dusted,cuts down tabs and clubs cost

Just watching greyhounds at Wanganui and there is some fat basterd there walking back with dogs after the race,hes starting to fuck me off,thank God they are finished.

You know is it compulsory that the tab have to be on course,probably most people in course bet on smartphone,recently weve had meetings with no public and they have survived,be fair to say that if everybody knew that betting was only available online I reckon lots would adapt pretty quick,it would cut cost,just a thought.

Im not a expert on everything,give me a break lol😁
