Newmarket

Oh, dont tell me someones getting stuck into the Tangerine stable… that would peeve off Chief. Funny you mention that, saw Ellis on TV saying how good he was at the sales…. been pretty disappointing that stable lately…. a few other stables going fantastic, so i am glad 💵 getting shared around…. Hopefully this post doesn’t get me on the naughty list again😙

Come on…. spread the goss

Motukarara is mainly a front runners track nowadays, unless speed duel or similar

Seems Sth Island grass racing tracks are dominated by those up front, regardless how big the tracks are, i remember 30 or 40 years ago, more where winning from further back, especially at the bigger tracks like motukarara & Methven. Whats the reasons? 1, Drivers rating races far better, although looking at times, not setting records each week. 2, Tracks are now set up differently, grass seems a heap longer nowadays, horses seem to struggle to get through, soft or form. 3, Less lead changes, too many relatives and mates dictate races. What other reasons, i used to love grass track racing, but the leaders bias is annoying, one reason i liked the grass was most had a chance, but not anymore.

How do you know if i win or not? Wow, you certainly sucking up to Entain, if anyone puts the boot in. If NZ had more competition, especially with sports betting, punters would have more of a chance winning, or at least losing less. You do understand the basics with that, maybe copy and paste info on odds, i am sure you will find it.

I wouldnt be an elite customer to them, when i first got Betcha account, i used that and TAB about the same, but now i only use Betcha, so i suppose somebody sees me as a customer they can increase my spend, but that wont happen. I bet with a few mates that live in Aus, they shop around and get best odds, never once have i had better odds in NZ.

Nope… not full of shyte. No doubt others will have same account manager , Josh from Christchurch. They are obviously targeting exsisting customers of both TAB & Betcha, expect plenty of giveaways to those that bet less since geo blocking, figures will look terrible by end 2026.

I am still betting with overseas operators…. so thanks for your comments. Only time i use Betcha, is when they get desperate and send me offer, use there bonus bets, then withdraw. As you dont gamble, you wont be aware of the poor odds Entain offer compared to those that have competition overseas…. just get back to your copy & past bro, look forward to reading something i have seen days before ❤️

Thought same…. too many jockeys get bullied out of positions

Entain struggling…. doggies going soon too…. Must be bad, i have been informed i now have a Betcha account manager… giving me matched deposits all the time…. funny thing i get nothing from TAB, not had a bet in account for a few months now. So really, between the 2 NZ accounts, spend less now than before geo blocking 😂😂😂🤣

What happened with this fella… started race calling but not heard him for ages? Any idea?

FFS Thommy, give it a rest. i have noticed whenever you post, it goes very quiet on this site

Totally agree with you…. Had a few days betting after Boxing day mainly on grass track racing….but first time ever i have not had a bet last couple of weeks of Jan. Tab / Betcha offering very few promos now, not had a deposit match from TAB for many months…. so happy to spend my money elsewhere. Gee, once those NZ dogs are gone, Entain will pull out of NZ, hopefully Sportsbet get in NZ instead.

From a NZ Entain point of view, of course they would love to continue to provide betting on Aus dogs…. but for all the reasons it is getting banned in NZ, its quite alright to show Aus racing for purely gambling? Remember Tasmania is phasing out dog racing…and the Victorian government has said it could save $500m if it follows Tasmania in phasing out, estimates the government would save $451m between 2025/2026 and 2035/2036 if it stopped subsidising greyhound racing and closed the industry…. interesting indeed…

Totally agree…. but just watch, the Aus greyhound betting will not go ahead in NZ once racing stops here. Will be pressure on bigtime, and rightly so, one could say that Aus dog racing is run worse than NZ…. In fact, the only 2 dogs really looked after in Aus was Coco and Son Of Coco…Darryl Kerrigan and family even took them on holiday to Bonnie Doon…😁 A great movie… interestingly its been reported that Michael Caton was only paid $3000 for his lead role…. i would have told him ya dreamin….
