Newmarket

Terrible…

Was a joke alright… Who is this woman Erin Leighton? Just wondering how she fits in. Been poor today, the whole team.

Any enquiry that goes this long…. should let placings stand….

So there is an enquiry at Trentham…. so nobody in the Trackside team has nothing to say? Next race about to go, what is the point of having them o course? Was a time when you could get info direct from enquiry room?

Riccarton has turned into a front running track too…. longest straight in NZ yet favours leaders? FFS, if your a punter and want every chance to win, bet in Aus….

Looks like TAB app has new update to keep it similar to Betcha. Font is smaller, I bet a few will complain

Updated TAB app, seems to work now. When your bets are in betslip, up top gives you multi option👍

How do you take these bets on iPhone, I have taken plenty of SGM and SRM, but how do you couple them up? Thanks

Haha, you’re a funny man. TAB today is providing 17 dog meetings for punters to splurge on in Aus and NZ. I have it on good authority, that once dog racing ceases in NZ, TAB will no longer take betting on any overseas dog racing, so you reckon turnover won’t suffer? Some pretty keen dog followers out there, I can’t stand them but some love them

So do you think the dog punters will offload same amount in next Aussie bush meeting on a Monday arvo???

Just to add…. I assume TAB are pooping themselves, next year they are gonna lose a heap of turnover once the dogs stop…. and who knows what’s going to happen to gallops and harness in years to come, yes it’s unlikely but who would have thought the dogs would go 10 years ago. So maybe that’s the TAB in future years, Sports and Casino… not for me

Yes, your right…. But most people in that age bracket I mentioned, have paid off their houses, have done ok in live and all have savings, go on trips, expensive toys etc. Younger generation are going to find it harder, more expensive to live, will have less disposable income than us older farts. I hate where gambling is going now, it’s plastered everywhere and I hate the online casino stuff, it’s a big worry. Those with issues can hide away at home 24/7, terrible. I loved the racing days 35yrs ago, only Aus racing from main venues were n a Weds or Sat, as well as NZ racing. TAB was closed on Sun, as well as Thursdays, reason being most people got paid on this day. But nowadays, we have all this gambling awareness shit, TAB are a joke.

TAB want control of everything…. I have the same feel when you’re playing Jenga and it starts to wobble before it collapses. I know many punters, a couple of weeks ago a dozen all between 40yrs and 65yrs discussed the TAB at the club over a pint. Of the 12, 10 had a TAB account that they used most weeks, 6 of the 10 had Aus account, 3 of 10 had Betcha account. Of the 6 that had Aus account, all included myself stated that the money they now spent in Aus…. WOULD NOT BE SPENT AT THE NZ TAB…. It seemed all had their preferences, some only used Tab for bonus offers, extra large pools, or Quads at local meetings. Betcha spend was bonus offers and mainly sport, Aus accounts for bonus offers. The 2 that didn’t have accounts hardly bet now, due to their local TAB closing. This is going to be a disaster, punters are sick of being told where they can gamble, I can shop anywhere in the world? TAB started with a hiss and a roar, offering all sorts of promos, once geo blocking comes in, will be like the 90s, punters getting screwed, no promotions, with the TABs take it or leave it attitude. I am around 60yrs, have bet most weeks since I was 18yrs, but for once, if and when geo blocking comes in, I will reduce my spent, or stop all together. Maybe they will offer me a deposit match every few weeks, might take it, might not, just not bothered anymore.

Not a good look, but bad draw and first look on track, I actually punted winner so I’m happy. No doubt Marketplace and Republican Party will bolt in next start…. Happens all the time, look at Manawatu this week… First day majority of Mickey House runners out for run…. 2nd day, boom.

Wow, wonder what he has spent his cash on? 😋

Oh well, let’s leave it at that, I’m wrong and i apologise. Very strange that apart from yourself, nobody has added positive comments about the stable…. Well Tab4ever of course, but that’s a given

Yeah, good day for you, well done. But they used to win from the back, but hardly now. Seems a few jockeys got going early, very wide home turn, but they were left flat footed when leaders kicked. When the harness raced on it early 80s, they came from well back, as did gallops. From a betting point, not for me.

What are the horses? With so many horses in their stables, you should be able to name a heap of them?

Well they didn’t get that far looking when told no. Look I don’t want to stir the pot here, as we all know sometimes we are not told the 100% truth, although I do believe the people involved. No worries if you want to remove my posts, don’t want people jumping up and down. One reason I would never go into a syndicate with a big harness or gallops stable, that so so many involved, you have no say in anything.

You are a tosser, need to read properly. Duh, I know Te Akau race plenty to n the Sth Island. My point being is they have huge control in these syndicates, if they no longer want to race a horse, even though the syndicate members may want to try racing elsewhere, it may not be the case. Not dogging the stable, is what is. Just stating that syndicates seem to have issues, with all stables.

I havnt hinted at anything, I have mentioned one scenario, just as it is.

Well do you know any Te Akau runners that have raced in other stables?

Only hear about the success stories, ad on trackside at the moment makes me 🤮 One syndicate I know of wanted to race a horse down south rather than see it beaten up north each start…. wouldn’t allow another trainer to race it, so no bad luck. Those involved were peeved…. Thats why you don’t see any Te Akau runners changing stable, wouldn’t want someone improving it! Apart from the top owners, rest are just a number

Wow, that track is crap. Nothing coming from back, makes Te Rapa look good.

I’m not a fan of Ellis and Te Akau….you hear the good stories, but I know a few that I wouldn’t like to repeat….
