  1. Tony and can't remember his wife's name, lovely couple at Browns bay tab..long gone, I used to write out my slip and hand over the money when I was 14/15 no questions asked, good old days when just the radio to listen to races in the tab and the the Teletext for the odds. Now there is only a pub tab in a huge place like browns bay...it's a big drive for me now if I want to find an Agency to make a decent withdrawal!
  2. It's ok the Brodster had it laundered first. ?
  3. Blue magic!
  4. Maybe the chief can pull a few strings(so to speak) and make it first prize for his new comp???
  5. Thank God your seeing it too Newmarket, I thought I had a virus.........(on my computer!!)?
  6. Talking to me or or my identical twin happy?
  7. I had it in a place all up, I was praying it would keep going....I actually like the horse, it has gone well and even won at big odds in some ok races in his Time, if he draws in the first 3 one day in one of these races he keeps going if he leads ...at one pace...He has another win in him!
  8. Hindsight is a great thing
  9. No Jess it happens alot as you say, not sure if they still do it in American thoroughbred racing but they used to couple up stable runners for betting purposes on the tote no matter if one was odds on and the other was 40-1 and I'm sure you weren't allowed more than 2 from one stable in a race. That was the one annoying thing I found in the top English races, a big stable like Godolphin were allowed to run a pacemaker so their top horse got the tempo it needed.
  10. Yes it is total over kill, I think the nzrb has a deal with Tabcorp that for them to show our 1 greyhound programme or if they are very lucky a heavy track nz gallops meeting every day, we have to import all their crap for our mug punters to bet on!! Hardly worth it!
  11. I have never known a bloke that can stop a horse like him.. Winx next!!
  12. I must admit watching Blair orange he seems to try hard, I would have to say Dex doesn't put them into a race like he used to, I put that down to been there done that going through the motions.
  13. Just a thought, but that driver's challenge that got debated where Dex was $1.06 and orange won it at $7s sticks out like dolly Parton.... really hope it's all a mistake.
  14. Jesus, just had a 5min break at work and wow... Brodster now a $1ew punter? Hard enough to pick a winner nowadays without this shit going on if true!!
  15. ? What is this cooking utensil used for rangatira? Time to put it back in the draw!
  16. What was the official race time, I didn't catch that?
  17. Come on fella's Globes "on the money" we just moved to get away from all that elsewhere!!
  18. Nigel Armstrong,(westview) and Tim Vince I seem to remember validated Brodie on race café if that is any comfort, I have had 2 tips from Brodie who is a place bettor, one was a p.m flamboyant that paid $3.70 and one was on the forum page for all to see a couple of weeks ago Alexy that was 3rd and was $2
  19. Thanks Rowley, you are of course quite right in the sad light of day, it's all at people's fingertips now! I must be getting old I hate change! Cheers Des
  20. Strange, mcwicked didn't look in the same league in Lazarus's first race.
  21. Problem is they will control the lot, and we will end up in 20 years with 2 purpose built a.w tracks, one North island, one South island, greyhounds inside, trots Middle, Gallops on the outside course, they can then feed the Australian market everyday from 10am aus time (midday our time) to get every Penny out of the addict Aussie gambler, Wall to Wall racing ....and what great names will they call these new tracks? Mmm Tabcorp Park! ...Just a theory, but on reflection I would prefer us to have control ...so I can enjoy my fush and chups!!!
  22. Did nothing for me that race zzzzzz
  23. You may fart too much!!
  24. That first paragraph will answer a few questions, this was from 2016 report.
