Newmarket

A couple of mates got same offer… maybe for punters that dont punt with Betcha they are desperate and getting them back. im still not betting TAB, but as betting with Betcha maybe they dont care, even thou between the 2 im betting far less. Do you have Betcha acc?

Prince Of Darkness…. that sounds cool. Just to let you know Chief, attended Riccarton first 2 days, not bad really for a guy you state hates the game…. im just telling you how it is, great that you see differently to 90% in the game…. As for TeAkau, im not having a go against the stable, but i think any stable, harness or gallops have an unfair advantage with a satellite stable chasing trainers awards. Can easily stack an area, send down better performed nags to sth island to burgle a few….

Come on, be realistic. The pitman stable is mostly filled with ex northeners or cheap purchases, which they do well with. Te Akau have big syndicates and owners happy to throw big bucks to the stable, pitty hardly going to compete with big Nth Island stables on a regular basis…. I think satellite stables should not be part of trainers awards, only main operating stable. Its unfair, although Chief loves the stable so im gonna cop a bit 🫣

My point is Curious provides the facts while you celebrate….

Good job Curious …..no wonder all the surveys etc….. NZ TAB thought with geo blocking 💰 would come flooding back…. not going that well is it. Then they lose the doggy revenue, and those involved in the sport may also not bet again..

Wow, Had a few bucks on Longview Tui, looked like it locked wheels first attempt, 2nd go used up to speed to lead…. race stopped.. another attempt but horse was spent already, a few others were affected to. Should have been a late scratching ….

Good that you mention the Melbourne Cup. Pretty sure 7 or 8 horses have died in the past decade while racing in the Cup? Not a good look is it, very few died previous years, so what’s the cause?

Read what I posted….was a time if you were not oncourse watching races…. nobody would know if a horse fell. And no protestors back then

Yep, you’re right. I think issue with Chief is that he’s not a regular punter, and knows zero about Australian operators.

Things have changed …. Races beamed all over the world so really public wouldn’t know how many nags injured or died 30 yrs ago….. but everything under the microscope. Also didn’t have the protesters or greenies years ago…..times a changing.

Gains are from USA as free market for sports betting now…. as well as online casino.

I have been providing my thoughts…. until this one, shows how lost they are. Have removed from their list.

Horses falling…. poor riding, poor tracks…. you blind or what?

Yeah, true. I suppose with harness at least no fences in front of them🫣🤣

You always get the wrong end of the stick, I LOVE JUMPING RACES. But things should change as jumping racing both here and Aus not a good look. Maybe run over shorter distances, seems most fall later in race. Maybe some jump races shouldn’t be run on certain tracks…. lower fences? I don’t have all the answers, but the dog brigade over many years could have sharpened up their game…which could have saved them.

Have a mate living in Aus, pressure on to get rid of jumping. We all know 3 died at the the Bool late last year.

Pathetic….who received this? Where are the new punters or punters they want to increase their spend. Do they think a couple of crap adverts are going to do it? Obviously they are panicking…. thinking where are all the overseas punters…. we need to sign them up🤣 Sales 101…. look after your existing customers first, retain those.

Less injuries? Happy with Turnover? Where is that info?

Good on you for posting…. as I have always said the gallops rate of deaths is not good, far worse than Australia per % of races. Be interesting to see death rates of dogs racing in Australia…

I love horse racing…. but mainly Aus racing, why is that an issue, far easier to pick a winner Aus than NZ. I’m not the only one that thinks NZ racing is on a slide…. but good on you for turning a blind eye.

Mmmm…. Only had to pull out and it’s in the money….. crazy going back to inner.

Unlike you, I’m realistic.

Thanks, yes my point exactly. As for jumping races, I have always looked them, one of the first times I went to Riccarton I remember Grey Warbler winning. So it’s not about me disliking jumping, it’s what is happening lately in these jumping races.. too many falling, maybe inexperienced riders, maybe dodgy tracks….. I was pointing out that once the anti racing types jump on it jumps racing will be gone. Some may say I’m dreaming, but 5 yrs ago nobody would have thought dog racing would be banned.

Anyone else get survey from TAB? Asking for views on promotions…. or lack of, I gave them my honest opinions🤣. Me thinks they should be worried, been told from those in the know, TAB figures show no gains since overseas punting stopped

Dont think you could blame anyone but Blair, bad luck Galah…. It was certainly gonna be in the finish if it had stayed wide. Probably watched birdshit brosan do it in the 80s…. and though let’s have a go 🤭
