  1. Bizzare??? Come on, your crazy statements just get worse. 1, Of course trainers wait until new year to really pump up 2yos, that period up until jewels is where the good money is. Racing calender very different years ago, you should know that. 2, No money in 2yo racing, so most dont bother???? Oh deary me.
  2. Be interesting to see how this horse goes in nz. NZ cup this year could be the most open in years. Good old TAB, they dont even have a ..Any Other Option available on early odds? Joke!
  3. Should bring horse to nz, not gonna win much money, but with the constant gate issues in nz, If his gate opens a few seconds before others, he is on terms. Could probably start 10seconds behind, still win against our horses
  4. Yep, love the grass track racing too.
  5. If National are serious about getting back in power, they have to get rid of Bridges. He is a complete fool, can hardly string a few words together. Other Nat members see him has a joke, everyone knows the leak has come from within.
  6. True, But a good start would be to get back punters like myself, i have bet with tab exclusively until about 3 years ago, now they get less than 5% of my spend. Now im not a huge punter, but do bet each week. Turned over $2k beteasy, $1k betfair last weekend, tab $0. Multiply that by thousands of other regular punters, and thats a lot of dough. It seems over the years, tab looked after top elite customers, even give free bets and top ups to those that didnt use account for month or so, But sadly, those middle type customers, GOT NOTHING, and a heap left.
  7. I think they now have meeting at another time for people attending this meeting
  8. MK2, I ran a small comp, and to be honest you took all the fun out of it, to the point where i now stay away from comps. Most that enter comps, do it for the FUN side of it, with you involved sometimes the fun goes. I have nothing personal against you, but you do have a pretty bad track record when it comes to comps, i can say that from a personal view, in fact i did state that if a ran another comp, you would be excluded. Just play nicely, and people will change their views on you. BTW, i see very little abuse on here
  9. Not sure lord modules quarter cracks made him so pig headed, sure it affected him running, but he refused to even walk at times, fell over and tefused to get up? In the head me thinks, but these type of nags have the ability.
  10. Not sure by getting freeview back will have any effect on nz racing. Cant see too many punters not having sky, or the ability to watch free on some of the many devices available. Its harsh, but they dont see value in us oldies anymore, so we will keep seeing tabs and pub tabs closing down. If the tab wants my money, they need to look at what is offered to me by overseas operators, and compete,something they have never had to do in the past.
  11. Whats the problem, punters know that he could miss the start, thats the chance they take. No difference to Lord module in the 80s, that old shit was worse.
  12. Thought i would start this thread as some of our jockeys are performing average at best, not all, but been some bad ones recently. Could be NZ & Aussie rides. Wonderful Barbie R1 today. Taiki Yanagida rode it crazy, huge effort for 4th. Get on next time with better rider.
  13. Seems Beteasy not sure who, what or where we are racing ?
  14. Well, didnt see race, but didnt pay div.
  15. I reckon Divine Mr Tycoon in Race 1 today will be hard to beat with Williams up.
  16. Saw that, i thought he had won more also.
  17. Obviously a talented horse, But broke overcheck at start, driver decided to throw it away and not use one?? Horse began, then threw head around and galloped?? Did punters get fair go?
  18. I see hockeys excuse was that he felt weak? Only ride for him on the day?? Settled back, went wide around turn, at this stage he probably thought he would get away with it, draw the stick, run home nicely for a placing. Sadly for him, other 2 horses started to fade a bit, while his horse was just cruising!!
  19. Bit of a shocker all right.
  20. 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.
  21. 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
  22. Obviously not, seeing as meeting is on while cambridge is racing just down the road at the same time.
  23. Wheres Berri?
  24. Wow, thats crap money.
  25. If the club cant afford above plough, what about this cheaper option.
