Not sure whether they have a new harness Bookie setting the odds, but whoever it is doesn’t appear to want to attract money to be wagered! when so many are unders on opening, there is just no point even bothering. Easier and more profitable ways of making money without having to do the serious homework. What I do know is that it is not on the best interest of harness racing if they don’t have punters.

Personally havent bothered to have a go for four weeks or so. Addington fields at the moment are pretty much the same week in week out without the racing at many other tracks! I believe since Entain took over that the Fixed Odds opening prices on the first four or five favourites are far shorter than they used to be especially the place odds! What serious punter is going to be investing $ on harness when you have four or five paying under $1.50 for a place?????? We also dont seem to be hearing on Trackside anymore of any BIG BETS!!! When it was announced these so called big bets, it was a bit weird because I was putting on a helluva lot more than these big bets and yet not announced lol

Galah, what are you doing watching gallops?? Where do you think the saying “its a mugs game” came from? You can not follow thoroughbred form to any great degree! They can win one day and run awful the next! As long as you dont wager on them you will be fine lol

Personally heavily supported Franco Hoffman when it was in the NZ Amateur drivers race well over a month ago when I thought the way it was going was a cert to place! Went very average and the way it went that day thought it was going go struggle to win another race! Was driven that day by a North Islander! Then it lined up in another amateur race with Michael in the cart and it grew many lengths so not sure what caused this to happen when it bolted in?. As you say Walt, it then went on to win its next two starts against far better horses!! Not sure what is going on but many of the House Stables horses are senior citizens and maybe they missed their afternoon kip when they go poor or had extra vitamins when they win?

Agreed, Wilson looked to hand up to Kennedy as soon as he was in front, which wasnt the thing to do. Rangiora is a front runners course where leading up normally assures you of being in the money. You would only hand up to a natural front runner you would think? Santanna Mach has grown another leg recently as he went thru a patch of pretty average performances.

Mossdale Ben winning for the Hopes was great. Horse has clearly strengthened up. Ben Hope such a likeable young man along with Carter Dalgety and several other Juniors which is great for the industry.

Mostly gone now and fewer by the years! There are pub-tabs but yes most of the operators also pour the Pints and arent that interested in punters! There are the self service machines but apparently they are going to be reducing them as well. The TAB want everyone to be betting online thru computer or phones so they have control of your wagering on account😩 Very difficult to withdraw your winnings in cash as none of them hold much cash! They want you to spend your betting voucher or have winnings credited to a Bank Account so once again they know who is collecting. They are driving punters away from harness racing betting in truckloads, but they wont care as Entain now wants the sports betting and other forms, rather than harness racing which will continue to decline unless they change policies.

Have to identify yourself to the TAB Gamma, if you are collecting $2k! Chances are you are a money launderer according to them!

Yeah $51 is just ridiculously low. Tab should open up a book on where it will finish in the race! Speaking of that, has the NZ TAB got rid of the harness HEAD To HEADS again? Gallops are still getting them continuously but not harness, for some reason????!

Does this set a precedent for Addington in the future if they are allowed to start in a race just to pick up the also ran money? Surely it needs to be monitored better? Clearly Trevor is playing by the rules as it is a “free For All” so entitled to start. It is only an eight horse field so you would hope that you arent following him on the home bend as Rachmaninov has not won a race on Addington in 116 starts and that aint going to change Friday night! Not putting the horse down as he has been a very honest toiler it is just that he is not competitive in that class by a long way unfortunately.

I appreciate it that it is a “free for” however it is not in harness racing best interests! if it is a out getting money for running last, then why dont non winning horses make up the rest of the field and get the over $437 for just lining up? Surely Trevor doesn’t think the horse is competitive in that field, surely he is taking the piss?? The racebook comment says he will be looking for shortcuts!!! He will be needing far more than shortcuts, maybe across the centre of the track! Hope Rachmaninov goes a good race but the Club should just hand Trevor the $437.50 when he gets onto the track?

With respect to Trevor Grant, not too sure why he is lining Rachmaninov up on Friday night. We all know that the horse always tries as hard as he can every week but to be fair he is hardly short of racing to get him fully fit! He goes around most weeks and yes I know that it is the owners right to line the horse up! However, on paper Rachmaninov is going to have absolutely no chance of being in the money as his ability nowadays is nowhere anywhere near as good as any of the other 7 starters! In fact he is a whopping 27 points lower than Spy Da Moment who is in career best form and assessed at 62 whereas Rachmaninov is as low as you can be at 35!!!!! Soy Da Moment is the next loosest assessed hores in the field. Rachmaninov also carded to start in a 35-40 class trot on Sunday at Rangiora where he obviously going to be far more competitive. Racing can always turn up upsets as we know but there is no way on earth that Rachmaninov is going to be competitive on Friday night against its opposition, so personally can not see why you would be lining it up when it is in on Sunday???

Seriously Holy, the Pfizer has got to your brain! That lady was a rep from Pfizer you Clown! So you reckon the European court is not legit? Lol

Young Carter Dalgety still having an excellent season. From what I looked at he has had 138 drives fir the season and has won 33, so near on wins every 4 starts! Not bad for a Junior and has an excellent UDR. Not sure whether he chases drives too hard as with his ability he should be driving in most races in Canterbury!

Did I say that Paleface? It was a Cup race for horse’s assessed at 55 and over and you believe that those horses would compete competitively in the NZ Cup? Harrison finished second and he would be outclassed in the Cup even though Mossdale Ben went a good time off 20m!

With respect Gamma, that field in the Kurow Cup yesterday was hardly quality ??? Worst Kurow Cup field ever!

Holy, not worth wasting time on you due to your BS!! You are now aware that Pfizer toxins didnt prevent transmission of Covid 19, their representative clearly states this in the video. If you want to continue being a Clown then do it with your petty self. you can call me thick or anything you want, it is not me that is walking around with the Pfizer toxins in their system!!!!!

You are wasted ! made nothing up.

Sorry, but you are a lost cause Holy! You are backtracking. They stated that before it was released it was not proven to stop transmission, they state they didnt have to! And yet that is what it was sold to everyone as, that if you got jabbed with the unproven Pfizer toxins you would be protecting others, which was BS!! People thought they were heroes for allowing the stuff in their arms, when they were in fact endangering their lives and for what? They then tried to cover their butts by saying it basically couldve stopped some transmission ffs! Reality is that this mild virus over reaction has cost NZ hugely in so many ways! I know many people who have now had to endure many new health problems including death from being lied to by so many! Get your head out of the sand and take on board that you were scammed

Of course it supports what I said!! The pfizer didnt stop transmission of covid19, despite what we were told! The jabbed were transmitting it!! Which part of the video dont you understand?

https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-pfizer-vaccine-transmission-idUSL1N31F20E

Pfizer have stated that the pfizer jab before it was rolled out to the suckers that took it, had not been proven to prevent transmission at all, and this has been borne out! The ones that had been jabbed thought they couldnt transfer the mild virus, but this was not the case at all. There is no evidence that it stopped transmission, if it did then how on earth did it keep getting spread? Google it Holy, then let me know where I can pick the $10k up from!

Holy, are you up for the challenge or not? Galah has already confirmed what I said about the Pfizer toxic jabs not stopping transmission at all! It was the jabbed ones that were infecting others! Seriously if you want to take the challenge the winner to donate the funds to charity of their choice! You wont meet the challenge as you now know you will lose!

Correct, everyone was lied to about the Pfizer toxic jab. The true side effects from the trials were also falsified. If you didn’t take the jabs you were restrained from doing things and liberties taken away . Ardern was evil and as The Galah states Pfizer has confirmed that by getting the shit in you didn’t stop transmission at all. The fact that so many who took the jabs were walking around is why the transmission was occurring . Covid19 was only a mild virus and the Pfizer was never a vaccine in the true sense of the word.
