He do Just watching that ride at Ashburton I dont think he needs anything,just keep doing what hes doing.

You may find with the new funding setup that the returns from the country meetings may well be used to subsidize the bigger clubs.

I actually was of the belief that the reason Gore was not allocated was something to do with fiber optic cable or something,yet it seemed to work fine for the gallops,strange.

When you see those purdon runners paying a dollar for a place then some have stacked a lot on, for what?

They dont restrict tote betting do they? ?

Well I was kind of meaning the tab not accepting a ten grand bet,acting responsible in not accepting,irrelevant in the conversation I spose.

Well I was quoting my own comments lol

There is a thing called responsible gambling.

I feel like I'm talking to myself😀

What would you consider a big bet

It was just a generalization

It must be hard being a jockey on race day walking past the barbies on a holiday meet and being tempted to have a steak and say fuck the racing lol, a bit like churchgoers of a certain religion who are fasting before easter,I'd love to hide some nice hot KFC under the seats just to see if they can resist temptation during the service,coz when its comes to the belly and the ball bag we cant resist and give in to temptation lol. Ps so I have been told😉

Because to save punter losing money or tab risking losing there's?

For instance if a purdon horse at 1 60 you cant put say 75000 on but would be able to do so on a ten to 1 shot at orari

So what does that mean,are you only restricted for some races,as in a 6 horse field at addington as opposed to a 16 horse maiden trot at Methven?

I have a strange knack of betting on horses that dont win😟

Well if it's a southern meeting there's a fair chance the winner is driven by a Williamson or an Orange If its addington and Purdons are in it well 9 out of ten they win. Not so though at the grass track meetings

And probably will continue to be so Westport on boxing day has a crowd that exceeds the population of the town,its a major coast event,a lot of these meetings are annual traditions and will stay as.

Firstly you have to admit that the results are clear cut for some races

It is a mainly tv product now,98% of betting is off course now according to mr Saundry.times have changed,just the same 4 rugby,stadiums only fill up for feature games.

So you suggest they mainly restrict harness punters?

The stupidest thing I reckon that's happened is the complete shutdown of grass track racing in the north island,weird.

I dont mind the gallops,I actually think the South Island racing recently has been rather interesting,getting back to the Oamaru track,it and Washdyke were suggested for closure yet they want an all weather track at Riccarton yet these two tracks just by location make good winter venues.

You dont like the gallops?

They are so repetitive,but what else do ya do,they claim turnovers are going ok so I guess they must appeal to the punters. If ones self dont want to watch or bet on them as long as enough do then sobeit.
