    Waverley today was a complete bog…. I was waiting for meeting to be cancelled early on, but surprised it went ahead when you look at recent cancellations. I’m waiting for stipes report…. surely there would have been horses slipping??

    Initially I avoided taking quads, trebles on Betcha. If the favs come in or horses fixed odds drift, usually divs on betcha smaller than tab…. Until a few months back and I started looking a fixed odds early, so getting value at times before fixed prices tumble, have had some good collects recently on Betcha, especially with some pools small on tab. Have a look sometime, if you see value have a fixed price bet. Look what it paid at Riverton today, Betcha vrs Tab…. no I didn’t bet that n it, but wow

    Yeah, I remember that guy. Larger build with a moustache….and obviously a little slow. Poor guy, always wanted to speak especially when you’re trying to get a bet on. Another guy was a postie, slim guy large nose, a bit weird. Mind you, probably thought same of my group… We were always on a leaner below Lordship picture, usually a few skulls to get the day going…. always last to be hurried out door after last race…. the security guy was a top bloke

    That’s right, think they had last 6 races or so live and n TV.
  5. Newmarket
    Yes, was there too, in the public stand around the centre, could really hear the shouting, carts splintering etc….

    I used to look forward to Easter Racing, Forbury used to race on the Thursday night …. Then get ready for Saturday Harness, so many memories mainly good, except the big smash in the 3yo race. Hands Down charging home in his Easter cup wins… Basil Dean going record time beating Sir Castleton….. while rest of the card had great races. Sadly, looking at Saturdays races does little to excite anyone…. still we have the memories. Anyone else remember???

    Surely they won’t race Saturday? Auckland harness tomorrow must be touch n go also

    Why not? Horses sometimes improve in a smaller environment.

    A few years back, a few of us raced a slow harness horse…. used to meet with trainer every month to discuss issues and state where horse went…. didn’t worry me that it never won a race, but being involved with the group over a few beers … priceless. Rather than get an email sent out…. telling you what’s already been organised

    Very few are put up for sale, last thing the stable would want is another trainer improving nags. The ones on gavelhouse are way past used date…..
  11. Newmarket
    Those involved reckon it should have won twice that
  12. Newmarket
    My point is…. If you have a horse in the stable in a syndicate… you have no say with the nag. It should be the syndicate telling trainers where the horse races… Not just this stable, but other stables as well. Those that are paying huge bucks for their horse to be trained should make majority of decisions… stuff the trainers

    You would think Micky Mouse would have some idea…. mind you he was in one one…. so maybe thought he could still win
  14. Newmarket
    Not my words, had nothing to do with it…. just posting as thought it was interesting, you go on about the success stories in f the stable, thought it best to even it out.

    Just do everything with TAB app….its 2025
  16. Newmarket
    This is on FB….
  17. Newmarket
    It’s available on my app…. Tell you what thou lads, if your not using Betcha you should be, far better promos than tab
  18. Newmarket
    Yes but half the problem is not the standing start, years ago a standing start meant all horses at a standstill…. but now it’s a luck of the draw mobile behind a tape….. I don’t get it
  19. Newmarket
    The starter is a joke…. FFS just watched race 3 at Winton today, was an utter disgrace. Have a look, how was it a fair start?
  20. Newmarket
    $20 seems too much now🤣 Strange drive, seemed to struggle to get leaders back, then pushed out
  21. Newmarket
    It’s easy for many to turn a blind eye….
  22. Newmarket
    Yeah true, a jacket is needed. So no views of on pace bias?
  23. Newmarket
    Every winner tonight has led, trailed or sat parked, and only the champion did that…..reminds me of the days betting at Greymouth Harness? It’s a shame, majority had no chance when draw came out, especially once rain came. Excellent run by Pinseeker, a bit more luck would see it finish 3rd….This type of racing should be run at our best track, Addington, not the 3rd or 4th best track
  24. Newmarket
    Brittany needs a jacket…..
  25. Newmarket
    Grim reading….
