Newmarket

Well, Another one, it seems none of these trainers actually read what is in their horses food!! Im sure they read use by dates on their food in the fridge, makes you wonder.

Interesting comment about inflation. What would be interesting, if somebody posted how much all costs were racing a horse, compared to now? Me thinks that would be interesting

Obviously not, seeing as meeting is on while cambridge is racing just down the road at the same time.

Wheres Berri?

Wow, thats crap money.

If the club cant afford above plough, what about this cheaper option.

Harness racing at Cambridge is on at the same time of this meeting? What were they thinking? Or maybe harness folk not that important?

Yes, Oreillys always great for harness. What happened to Patrick, had a stack of horses racing

Enteebee, Those horses you mentioned was quite a while ago, it seems no real stars in the last 10 years? I just wonder if these type of sales are no longer attractive.

In a few years, looking back at results, we will see the 2018 Kurow Cup winner- Go Davey? Ha Ha. Maybe they should gave dropped the Kurow Cup name from race, and called it the battlers handicap

Sounds quite a bit initially, but i suppose they can race a couple of times a week, and prize money seems pretty good compared to horse

Does Michael House still run his own ready to run sales? Not heard about them recently. It put his name out there, and good on him for getting involved, but surely the results over previous years have been below par- Think Highview Thommy the exception, maybe even Franco Nelson was from sales too, but not too many to mention. Can remember House talking up Glenalvon, went half in 55, sold for $195k, won $31k. Are these sales bad for buyers, get them up quickly to run fast halves, burnt out by the time they race?

I like billie jean too Richie. Mickey jay R1, Christmas Toyboy R7 & Boomer Bailey R8. When you look at that Kurow cup field, makes the day a little depressing.

Amazing run. Especially as most winners were coming from inside strip.

I was amazed how many jockeys at te rapa yesterday made their moves far too early, way before the turn, many ending up wide, then weakening half way down straight. Danielle Johnson had purfect run in first race, In the one one, 2 L from leader. But she chose to go forward 600m out, pushed 3 wide around turn, faded 100m to finish 2nd??

I cant see 2 weeks between meetings an issue. Sadly, the decline in jockey numbers, means a decline in jockey class, less options to choose. Christ, going back several years, we had some very experienced jocks, not now thou

How can you be confident betting on this crap? 2/3rds of the field cant win half way thru the race?

Well, These nz dodgy wet tracks are bad enough, but some of these riders are terrible. Some of these jockeys take off 600m from home, cant they judge a race. Not my money talking, as i no longer bet on this shit. Yahoo, aus about to start

Not sure your on the money with this statement. Beteasy was purchased which ended up being crownbet, then crownbet joined up with william hill which is now beteasy.

William hill & crownbet are now beteasy. Beteasy still offer roughly same as crownbet did, nothing really has changed. In fact, maybe you should sign up brodie. I bet you will get more on fixed odds before they change, or did i hear you have given up punting?

I use Beteasy. They have all sorts of promos, mainly on sport & aus racing. For your sort of turnover, it will suit. They usually put up the tab fixed odds on nz racing, but odds dont tumble quickly like tabs odds, so gives you more time to get on. They usually pick out couple meeting first races, that if you place fixed odd bet up to $25, if it doesnt win, they give you a free $25 bonusbet, which when you place it, beteasy will take the $25 back if your bet wins, eg- $25 bonus bet on $4-00 winner, you would get back $75-00. Also have 2 main aus meetings each sat, put on fixed odds win bet, if it comes 2nd or 3rd, get bonus bet up to $50. I always have a go, quite good knowing you have plenty free bets up your sleeve. Pay by credit card, deposit back into bank acc, takes couple of days, never had problem

Maybe horses are having more starts, especially mobile races. Maybe trainers are under pressure more getting horses race fit now?

Best thing about todays racing, plenty of Aus racing, so i didnt have to bet on that shit track Te Aroha.

Seems she only ever does what she needs to, i cant see her getting beaten. I think when she does get beat, that will be the last time we see her racing.

Dont forget, curious and mardigras are same person.
