I do know for a fact that several years ago, limiting harness punters to pathetic amounts was common! Were gallop punters being limited? Had it on very good authority, that they were not restricting them, as they had no need to! The fact is that what the NZ TAB is doing is losing the harness punters bigtime, and this sadly is going to kill the sport, as it has a huge flow on affect!

Agree Happy, gallops are very boring, although there aRe more enthusiasts than harness for some strange reason? Form is impossible to follow and that is why the TAB doesnt restrict punters! Just about impossible to see your horse until they go past you unless you back the grey!

Denis??

Where is Mr Holden? Too busy for HRNZ or just out of his comfort zone.

Will be very interesting to see who is actually sponsoring the Box Seat? Should be able to tell by the advertising! I would be putting forward that connections to the Blue and Silver stable will be in the mix somewhere! Good on Greg OConnor for starting it up again, but if it is the AllStar benefit show again, most people will Just give it a miss again! Very boring when we hear about past races and he is a nice wee fellah, blah blah blah!

It has finished apparently! Wasnt appreciated by HRNZ but I wouldve told them to suck eggs, and start doing their job that they are being paid for!!!

Chief, it is very true. We have been scammed big time by the BS! We lose more vulnerable people every winter from the flu, which Covid19 is aN influenza virus. There is no specific test that says that it is covid19, it just says that you have a virus! Ardern and Bloomfield have scared the crap out of many people and shows you how weak some people really are unfortunately. they wont say but the suicides and mental health Issues are starting to happen. We have had not one die from the virus without health issues But all basically on their last legs in dimentia rest homes that wouldve died this year. It is a shocker what the communist leader has got away with and the you g ones will be laying for many years to come

“People are obviously enjoying the racing at the moment” says Darrin! Well how about you and Phil “missing in action” Holden, have a word to the NZ TAB and advise them to let more people enjoy the racing by letting them bet with them?

As long as is it isnt the same AllStars BS every week, it will be welcomed back! Hopefully it will be previews rather than the reviews, as who cares about races that have already been run?? Give us the interesting stuff and topical instead of wanking on about $1.50 favourites and what Self Assured should be paying in the Cup!!! So damn boring week in and week out until November! Will the Cup even be run this year, with Arderrn still at the helm??

FFS, stop being a clown!!!

Victoria Park, Greymouth, Ranga!!! That is what you were implying, and wrongly at that!

Poor Petes Dash has gone very good races at its last 2 starts! Had he been driven by a professional driver rather than a graduate driver Petes Dash would be very close to winning! Surely Denis will see the light and put a decent driver on Petes Dash! Although I believe he will be sitting in the stands for a long time shortly, as the Stipes have no choice

Mark did not send horses to Victoria on a regular basis Ranga!!!!!

Has anyone heard from the HRNZ in regards to the shocker of a drive on Petes Dash? Surely it is an open and shut case, so why does it take so long, as it is not a damn court case? What could be a defence for such a shocker, and then another incident in the straight at Methven on the same horse and not mention!!!!!

Wonder why there is no mention whatsoever of Petes Dash cutting off Swap Over in the straight????? Clearly moved in without any concern for anything inside of it!!!!

Not much chance of that!

Had an account with Beteasy as they took over Centrebet! Now Sportsbet has taken over Beteasy! Thing is I also had an account with Sportsbet, but they didnt like paying out if you were winning and I couldnt get a bet on harness racing after a few months!!!!! Ladbrokes Australia were just about the same, couldnt get much on at all, so closed the account! So now only got The Sportsbet account, and will be interesting to see if they are wanting punters now???

Prolific at turning out horses at Victoria Park! At least 2

Another shocker! Seriously if Denis gets to keep his license then the RIU is just a joke. Another drive another poor drive! He sat parked and Petes Dash went huge, sticking on very well! In the straight, Denis moved inwards without checking and chopped off the horse along the passing lane! He will get done for that I would think? Denis, seriously, your horse is having his spirit broken by his runs he is being given! Sit in the stand and Put on a professional driver and your horse will win!!!!!!

To be fair, this has been happening for many weeks, that several horses have been shortened in and nothing at all lengthend! I didnt bother working out what the% was, as the TAB does what it wants to! Amounts able to be won is pitiful and when you do get on, they slash the odds several times, so it looks like there has been a big go on it! It can take a couple of hundred dollars on to basically halve a fixed price, both win and place! The TAB seems to want to drive punters away in big numbers, and they will achieve it bigtime!

Yes Richie, punting today is a real gamble, grass is long and many slow horses will be placed! Geez even the Spitfire ran 4th! Hard when there is no recent grass track form, and so the real one paced horses have their chance. Note the AllStars dont line their horses up as I believe it must be very taxing on the legs of horses when the track is slow!

The Brodster, still always on the money! If it was ever going to pay a dividend it was today! Sat in the trail, race run slowly and still couldnt finish off, and wouldve been 5th if Khal Drogo didnt gallop which is where I thought it would finish at best. If they went harder it wouldve been down the track! Yeah some will say it went good, but 49 starts no placings and the saga continues! Hopefully it proves me wrong just for perseverance!

Totally agree Whiplash, trying to get the TAB to be progressive rather than regressive!

Runners Chance? It is in the field and a great draw and probably trail, but can not see it in the money on the way it was flat out and Heavily whipped in the trial and just about the slowest last quarter of the day!

Lol. Move on? Brodie is here to point out the error of the NZ TAB’s ways!
