Newmarket

Not sure what they had going in race 4. Far less in the BGP pool this year, maybe punters are realising it may be better having a punt themselves

Think the boys bombed out first 2 races…. So TAB has given them huge inflated odds.. $100k on Skew Wiff to finish top 2, odds of $5 🤣 Let’s see how it goes….

Well, watching Trackside Premier since 4pm, when it started on TV. It’s been 30 mins of BS, and now 4mins before first race they interview Tony Pike. Wow, I want to hear from trainers and Jocks… Had Emily go thru every horse in birdcage while reading horses details from book….. then BP reads horses form from book…. then woman tells us how good the horse looks, that’s 30 mins gone🤣 Highlight Chris Gayle’s attire so far…

Anyone using TAB app on iPhone, do you have this issue. When you flick between races, the divs don’t show, have to click tote prices and go back, then they show. Asked TAB, as usual their fix it was delete & install app, no change. Seems to only happen on busy days, anyone else have same issue?

Gee…. I really struggle listening to Bevan Sweeney…. maybe it’s just at me

Greg O’Connor just interviewed David Walsh before his horse Zelia raced, which has just won. Great interview, Greg is great and always great to see David talk, love to see good ex jockeys being interviewed…. let’s see more

Good one…. TAB advertising the WORLD POOL bit… be interesting to see pools, I assume we will be able to see pools? No Co Mingling issues 🤭

Put $50 win on Kitty Flash at $9…. thought real good Chance especially with Williams on…. If down the track…. Will chase with the $50 bonus cash

I have a laff with their selections, once all the presenters were n course state their tips…. then you get presenters in studio to give theirs too…. really a total waste of time for mine. Another thing that is pointless, when a winning rider comes back to scale, they play a little video of the jockey….only thing is, by the time it’s finished the jockey is rushing to weigh in…. so his comments rushed🫣 And while I’m at it, how many times can you not see a slo motion replay because a graphic pops up with PHOTO…. but you can’t see horses nose to line up…. frustrating

Too right….

And his drive in the last at Addington tonight was brilliant….horse settled 2nd when leader let Dunn go to lead. Now usually, this would be the end of the story, Dunn would slow the pace down to a walk, sprint home to win while others had no chance… Not tonight, Wilson rushed around to take lead and put pedal down….held on to win by a head, well done. I do get a bit sick of drivers sitting back letting Orange, Dunn & co dictate, so good to see this race 👍

Now Betcha dishing out the bonus cash for Karaka day….

Too true, Micky always on FB grizzling. I remember a few years back he was moaning that he was getting out of the harness game as no money in it, concentrate on gallops🤣🫣

I think Ashburton pulled pin during meeting last couple of years because of high winds…. Can’t remember that happening before. Wind did increase so I could understand why

Good one, I’ve only had these types of promos 2-3 times per year which is usually around feature racing. Pretty sure you can only use Bonus Cash on fixed odds, not 100% sure, obviously they take out initial bonus bet amount if you back a winner, but I use mine for my longer price selections which work ok. Just remember to use before they expire 👍

Well I suppose if your Arbing, that’s fair enough for the TAB to limit. I once had Betfair account but closed it couple years ago, several times i deposited and they took money out twice, took ages to sort, inplay is always suspect and pools only good for metro Aus racing, NZ punters never supported Betfair on NZ racing so pools crap. With so many sophisticated programmes punters are using around the world, and gambling sites limiting those arbing, must be hard to make money off racing, no doubt easier making money inplay on sports.

This fella is driving very well. Has improved heaps in the last year, well done keep it going

Yes, I agree. My main issue is when these meetings get abandoned….very rarely do you see meetings in Aus abandoned after racing started, did recently at Randwick but weather came thru late, conditions atrocious

Once again meeting abandoned after races have been run? So it was safe half an hour before…. then it’s not safe? This happens all the time

It has been advertised on Duke TV that everyone is offered up to $100 for Karaka boost promo… So check in your promo section…even those that state TAB never give everyone anything…. makes them look a little silly.

Make a living of the industry??? Are you the guy that wears the cap backwards…. selling hotdogs oncourse in the caravan?

So do you have accounts? Do you get offers? Tell us more you seem to know everything. As I mentioned earlier, last year on Trackside a QR code let anyone deposit $50 to get $50 extra…. I suppose that never happened? Me thinks TAB /Betcha having an all out blitz offering customers promos, getting more accounts opened. Then hoping government stops punters betting in Aus, at which time offers in NZ will decrease or stop… hoping to once again have a monopoly. No doubt a few TAB staff will be getting restless…. didn’t they only agree to keeping staff on for 2 yrs, must be getting close.

Not sure that’s 100% true, they factor in many things

Wow, how times have changed. Those 3 fantastic horses running first 3 placings in a Timaru cup…. we can all remember that. Struggle to name recent winners…. mostly no name nags….

The TAB usually offer bonus back on earlier races, for me today first 4 races gallops and first 2 races harness. I assume many will get same offer, although some differ. TAB obviously want people betting on more races, so looking at those that bet on more races for turnover?
