Does anyone know why the NZ TAB often brings out fixed odds on a few races at a meeting and not all of them???! You are going to say that they are the feature races, bjt if they can do it for these socalled feature races what is the harm in bringing them all out???? Reality is that the feature races are normally the worst races to be betting into!!! Come on TAB, let js know the odds of all the races and encourage punters to have a go!

Dont think we can say that their health was not a priority, quite the opposite I would say! Just that they believed the BS that came out of Bloomfield and Ardern’s mouths and they just did not do their homework on the toxins that Pfizer produced and was never ever a VACCINE!!!! Hopefully things will settle down and we dont have these long languishing effects from being so naive! The divisiveness that Ardern caused hopefully never ever bets releated and j fkrtunately when we needed a true honest leader we had the worst possible person in Ardern in total control! She has done major damage to NEW ZEALAND and the leader of the socalled team of 5 million takes off overseas!

You are totally correct Special Agent. There is so many articles of correct information about how bad the jabs are for people and yet they still say to have more bloody BOOSTERS ffs! If you are still a believer in what Ardern and her cohorts advised you to do for the good of your health, then go and get some more of that Pfizer into you! What they did to the people that were forced to have toxins injected into their bodies should never be forgotten! The consequences of their actions will continue for many hears to come. Obviously never had any of this Pfizer shit injected and never will and certainly never regretted this, quite the opposite and I am hearing all the time from people wishing that they never had any of it in them. So many have had side effects and now their immunity is stuffed!!!

The HRNZ Dickheads that brought the stupid whip rule in are more than wrist flicking!! Am I allowed to say full blown wrist action Chief?

I know someone who is an orderly in a hospital in a Queensland hospital. He has been told by the dr’s in the hospital that the increase in heart issues since the Toxic jabs has been massive and they were very worried going forward. To be fair anyone who has not been sucked into the BS that our media blasted us with in regards to the Claytons Pfizer Vaccine is well aware of this as Pfizer was forced by the courts to actually publish the side effects of the trial! All the best once again to Gary in his recouperation!

Wishing Gary a very quick recovery from the event the other day! You are correct though Aquaman, these events are so more common now than pre Pfizer days!

Wishing Gary all the very best in his recovery from the heart attack👍

Yeah where is Alexy?

Mikey, you are possibly correct! However if we left the current mob to make the decisions, then the harness industry is going to be in tatters! It is just not the TAB either that are not performing in the best interests of racing, they are only looking after their own interests, however in a couple of years many will be looking for a new career. Without the punter there is no racing as there would be no stake money worth winning! What has happened to these ideas from the “Brain Storming” they had over a year or two ago?

Hopefully when Entain take over punters will be treated equally! Currently unfortunately the NZ TAB is being run by amateurs! They bring out the Top 2 and Top 4 socalled Power plays as well as the Head to Heads but you can not bet on them unless it is on your account as they do not put up “Option No.s”!!!!! When the Head to Head option no. Does come up on the TV screen it is with a couple of minutes to race start??????? The Power Plays and Head to Heads need option no.s when they bring them out or it is just plain STUPID!!!! The Top 2 and Top 4 are a total wasted exercise when they allow you on to NET $30 FFS!!!! The decision makers at the NZ TAB are taking their salaries regardless of how useless they really are, and yes many should be losing their socalled jobs as soon as Entain takes over. Not saying Entain is the answer definitely but seriously the NZ TAB has been operating unethically for many years and to the detriment to racing in NEW ZEALAND!

Watched Tyler Dewe being interviewed on Trackside today, and he came across as very down to earth and likeable young bloke. He staRted his training career with a hiss and a roar and owners are now sending him all sorts of horses to improve! Wish the young fellah all the success he can get as training standardbreds is one very hard way to make a decent living nowadays!

Does anyone know how the NZ TAB they choose their Bookies? Kieran McAnulty was once a Bookie for the TAB supposedly? Michael Guerin on an interview with McAnulty asked him if he still had a bet??? McAnulty said that he still does! Are you any good! Asked Guerin? McAnulty said NO!! So if he didnt know how to make money punting why on earth was he employed by the TAB to set odds???

Not sure who is setting the odds currently or are there several who do it for differing parts of the country? Tony Barron actually sold that Judith Gwenda horse to Tyler Dewe clients, on what it has shown so far at the trials and today probably Tony Barron got the better deal. The Bookies need to do their homework better and also let punters on for a reasonable amount!!!!!!!

The Bookies believe that a bet of $200 is a big bet worth showing as such on Trackside last night!!!! The interesting thing is that they mostly never mention bets that have larger returns than what they announce? Very strange indeed!

Bookies not wanting any money on the Tyler Dewe horses clearly. Going to be interesting tomorrow to see how they go but I believe there are far better value around Gamma. The thing is Tyler is not overly gifted in the cart and yet he has this amazing UDR for training?????

Tyler Dewe is continually picking up more horses from other stables! Going to be very interesting to see if he can keep the wins coming like he has? Not sure why he has had so many wins so early on in his career as he comes from the Hamish Hunter stable who hasnt got a great UDR? If this Judith Gwenda was thought much of, I doubt Tony Barron wouldve sent it away down south! Has shown very little so far at the trials and $2 fixed is crazy short, but punters be on if you believe the horse can prove me wrong!

Does anyone know who the current harness Bookmaker is that sets the odds? How on earth could Judith Gwenda open up at $2 fixed odds in the first race at Invercargill on Sunday? Yes the horse is now trained by young Tyler Dewe who has done a great job with the horses he started! However $2 first up for a horse that has shown very little so far at the trials including a very average performance recently at the trials for Dewe. The horse was trained previously by Tony Barron in Canterbury who is no mug trainer and yet when it ran 5th and qualified recently it didnt go very flash at all finishing last and a distance from the second to last horse. If this Judith Gwen comes out and wins first up for young Dewe, there really does need to be some serious questions asked as to how a poor performing horse that has shown very little can be turned around so quickly! Can it win, No it can not on what it has shown so far but then again Dewe improved the hell out of very average horses before!!!!!

Young people mostly are not looking to wager on harness racing!! The industry has not promoted itself well enough over the last couple of decades and this has been hugely detrimental as well as the poor treatment to many punters who have been very loyal to them for many decades!! Reality is that the industry is in serious trouble and anyone that says that it isn’t, has their eyes closed. There are next to no new trainers coming through now as there is barely a living in it for trainers unless they are able to win regularly.

Turnover oncourse has dropped as well as patronage on all courses over the past few years!! No real point going oncourse nowadays for many punters who like to take things more seriously than others! When you are restricted by the amount you can win before having to identify yourself, there is absolutely no point going oncourse. The restrictions on certain punters by the NZ TAB from the amount they allow you to wager and also the blatantly ludicrous $1k limit for the ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING excuse is going to be continually detrimental to turnover and harness racing! The TAB are getting what they deserve but unfortunately it is harming the racing industry and ultimately there will be a huge loss of jobs at the TAB when it is run by ENTAIN! Crazy policies always come back to haunt you and have bad consequences!!!

Yes most of the PUB TAb’s do not give a rats nowadays, they just hole that punters jse the self service terminals. There are very few punters using them now as the interest from many is dropping off! The TAB hierarchy has made several stupid policies that is limiting turnover and profit and that is the major reason that they are looking to outsource to Entain!!!!! Punters are using Betting Vouchers nowadays rather than cash and none of the outlets ever hold enough cash to pay you out!!!!! ! And no, I dont want it credited to an account!!!!

Would like to know how much this GRINS actually contribute for the naming rights???? As Galah states it is going to have a short shelf life as it is only for the Big Boys and Corporates and highly unlikely to bring new entrants into the harness industry. It is also likely to be subsidised so hardly beneficial to the industry. Look it is great that they are trying things to try and keep the industry going but this is not going to help one iota. The positive about it is that they have listened and pushed the distance out to 2200 metres rather than the blatantly stupid mile!!!!! I hope everything goes well for “The Race By Grins” But as for interest from the enthusiasts it really is not worth the hype BS that the media try to push onto us! As Galah says a non win race at Methven or Addington has got far more interest as a punting proposition!

3 more sleeps till “The Race by Grins” Can hardly wait! Does this race really do anything beneficial for the harness industry? If it does, would love to know?

Not sure he would like soup? Craig I am sure is a good bloke but the fact that he picked all the winners on Jewels Day 50 years ago is a bit over rated isnt it? I dont keep a record of what he picks or collects but From watching his picks over the years he would surely be on the losing side of it? If People want to pay him for his tips on his hotline then all good but to be charging people on that and yet give them out for free and being paid by the TAB, just does not sit right!

Wouldnt know that, but why on earth do they persist with this very loud music as Newmarket has said?

To be fair the TAB employ him to tip out what he likes and the fact of the matter is that he is doing a great job for them! Should not be allowed with him tipping for the TAB and also getting income from his Whale Hotline!!!!
