Averos Spitfire lining up again for start no. 46!! Thing is, never run a place Against non winners and yet it is lining up against race winners over 2600m the TAB bookies has opened it up at $15 to win FFS!!!! what a ridiculously stupid short price it has been opened up at!!! should be $115!!!!

Totally Agree! When there are bets Going on at many many times bigger than that, and they dont get a mention. Dont think they have a clue as to what is Going on and what is being not accepted!

Not sure now, I wasnt listening too hard as the studio presentation is less than average now. It was mentioned in a series of bets on something! Thing is that $100 shouldnt really deserve a mention! The thing is that other nets far larger than $100 are never mentioned lol

The TAB bookie, is now announcing on Trackside, that $100 @ $10 is a big bet lol????? WTF?

Lol how on earth the NZ TAB thinks it is even Acceptable to offer punters 60 cents or all of $1.88 as a wager? I thought Phil Holden said that he was driving turnover?? Happy you must now be on their restricted punters list

The NZ TAB still have a $1k limit for placing and collecting money without identification!!!!!! When the AML Act currently states that the FIU only needs notification of bets of $10k, it is very clear that it is the NZ TAB that wants this rule so they can control all punters!!! NZ TAB I can guarantee you that it is costing You a lot of wagering money and at this time you should be encouraging as many people as you can get. The fact is that you nave told porkies about the Department of Internal Affairs wanting the $1k limit, as in this day and age $1k is such a pathetically low amount. to be thinking that money launderers are going to waste their time gambling thru the TAB such small amounts to cleanse money is just blatantly ridiculous. Seriously, NZ TAB you should reconsider your decision that is costing you money, but then again many of your decisions are just plain stupid!!!

If HRNZ was interested in making Harness Great Again, they would need to be reading BOAY!

Radio Sport gone as well, which is very disappointing! There are many changes going to be happening with everyday life due to the extended over reaction to the Covid19 flu! They reckon the virus that the virus that the pigs in China have is far worse than this Clvid19, and yet apparently this is a one in one hundred year virus! BS!

Happy, wouldnt take long at all! Pretty straight forward, they either want punters offloading on harness or they dont!

Couldnt see why HRNZ would have been paying BFLF as it is pretty average really. Promoting the Whale’s Tip Line is fair enough, but the tipping is nothing spectacular, throwing out shorties that any mug could sort without any effort!

A very good effort and show so far, on a shoestring budget, I would say. Whereas the Box Seat, wouldve cost a lot to produce and was pretty boring most of the time! It was all about the All Stars stable and races that have already been run YAWN! Good to see to discussing things of importance to the industry, and long may it happen, unless they try and shut you down!!! Personally think they should be chucking some cash you and Andrew’s way, as they must have saved a packet?

To be fair there is a helluva lot more in Fitzgerald’s and Markham’s show than BFLF! HRNZ would be better off paying the young fellahs,

The TABs are being closed! As Noodlum says, they need to sort their shit out first, or they wont have anyone coming thru to wager!

Totally agree Galah! Far better than Cup Day fields anyday for serious punters

Harness hardly has enquiries nowadays, Chief. They probably dont really need Stipes, as what do they actually do? Check frieze brands and tell us what horse gallops!

I wouldnt think that Craig Thompson and Michael Guerin are getting paid anything! Think they are plugging Whales Hotline to make it pay! Matt Markham and Andrew Fitzgerald are enthusiasts that want to keep harness racing going unlike some of the suits that are only in it for the big money unfortunately!!

Wet track at Addington was always going to be a difficult day. Plenty of tired horses a fair way out! Turnover looked pretty small in the tote pools but there seemed to be a bit of movement on the fixed odds. You wouldnt know how much was being put on though, as it doesnt take a lot to have the Bookies taking cover.

Galah, do you have a crack at Korean baseball As well?

Mehe, why have it over the 3 codes? Why would harness punters want to be offloading into dogs and gallops? I note that they seem to have gone off putting up the drivers head to heads

The local harness coverage has turned to shite, evenAddington Friday night was very poor! TAB doesnt care, more races the better and doesnt seem to matter where they are from! I feel the reality is that punters are going to vote with their feet.

More like your gay vest Ranga. I can assure you Punters Pass’s are so yesterday, not required

The TABs restriction policy is seriously flawed! They should be encouraging punting and not putting current punters and any potential punters off! They are clearly doing things wrong! They need every horse punter than can get as I dont think they will get out of the shite From people wagering on Korean Table Tennis

Booby, I did answer the question! As I said when the curve was flattened and there clearly was no pressure whatsoever on the hospital, I wouldve had more business and industry operating! There was never any sign whatsoever in NZ that it was a deadly virus!! John Curtin was one of the first that tested positive to it and je came in from the U.S.! He stated that it was no worse than the common flu! There were next to no one at any stage in hospital let alone Intensive care!!! Most people that tested positive had no symptoms, and personally dont know or heard of anyone that had it! Not a single person has died in NZ Of Covid19, the rest home people were already in their twilight days and were on do not revive instructions! Everyone that tested positive that had a y reasonable level of health has recovered, and for this we have had our economy stuffed, and future generations severely financially disadvantaged! We have been told due to the over reaction, there would be heaps of people die of Cancer due to no operations, heaps of suicides due to finances etc. There were 4200 people die during level 4 lockdown in NZ From other than Covid19 and 22 total deaths to people with Covid19 not due to it!! As for other things I would do to improve NZ, you would need an hour or two! We are being dictated to by a person that has no idea kf finance but wants everyone under her control! The wheels will fall off without doubt as they are just so incompetent

Booby, anyone can close a country down as Ardern did, but she and Bloomfield have not reassessed things as they should have. The current government are clearly the most incompetent and inept government that NZ has ever had! Name one single member that has been worth their salary? Ardern and co. Have not succeeded in any of their policies that they campaigned on, but she will just say I disagree with that, blah blah blah! No one I have spoken to have been able to say what she has done to the benefit of NZ. You can not, count the bowing to Muslims, the White Island volcanoe or the Covid Flu virus that is to the benefit of the country!!! All 3 of these have been to the cost of the country financially hugely! They have even stuffed up the quarantine system and clearly lies have been told. Ardern can not even sack any of her totally incompetents, as she has no leadership! Reality is that we have got no chance of this lot of incompetents, being able to improve the financial position of NZ after stuffing it financially by shutting it down for far too long without the need!! Of course it needed to be closed down initially but Ardern and her government have not got the necessary experience to run a business, and none of them have experience! Most have always had their noses in the trough! We have not had a single death in Nz to anyone that wasnt a geriatric in a rest home and were on instructions not to revive, or someone under 62 with underlying illness! This is not a killer virus in NZ and experts have clearly stated this, it is less deadly to NZ than the common flu! There are far more people dieing from the lockdown than this flu was ever going to kill in NZ! Stay home and Save Lives!!!! BS!!!!

Nah, have not got the teeth, and far too honest! Any policies I campaigned on would be carried out, unlike this lot who have completed next to nothing! KiwiBuild,Na Reduce child poverty, Na Pike River, Na Auckland Light Rail, Na etc.etc.etc. Blow money that the country hasnt got, Yep Bankrupt business, yep Poked there nose into Fletchers land and now country owns which is worthless Jobs, jobs jobs, na and not likely
