  1. Who knows… those selecting may not even have invested in the punters club, or if they did have a small investment. Those selections they picked on Sunday surely wouldn’t have taken long…. flip a few coins & dices.
  2. Ha ha, here you are talking about stalking… but your looking back though my posts about BGP. Hardly bitter, you forget to mention I have said many times they are doing well getting more people to the track…. but as usual you only see the negatives in all posts… Anyway, a bit over you, it’s great that you see the positives in everything in NZ racing…but for most on here they are realists, tell it how it is.
  3. It seems Mr Whippy truck has broken down…. another on its way but could be another 40 mins….
  4. I see first race keeps getting delayed…. Surely it couldn’t be something to do with the track… that only happens after races have been run
  5. Get ya big boy pants on why don’t you, seem to get on your high horse if anyone criticises anything? I have stated they are good at introducing people to the races, and it’s a good format to engage on social media…. But come on, now the BGP is run like a business, and trying to get people to pay $160 for a couple of drinks, a mini pie and a roll is a joke. Just my view, you seem to think it’s a bargain so no doubt you will turn up…like a mid life crisis and mingle with you hers and you can wank on about all your stories over the years…. Who knows you might be Ted, same age
  6. I see BGP selling tickets for Champions day in March…. $160.00 ticket?? Includes 2 free drinks, carvery rolls and mini beef pies…. WTF Who is making the dough?
  7. What’s the point of this post?
  8. Gee I struggle with this BS….
  9. What is the stables winning strike rate like in Aus…. I thought it was pretty poor overall.
  10. Yes, I agree. With the TAB bending over backwards and offering them crazy odds that no other punter can get…. yet still had zilch left last Sunday. Didn’t they get $1mill once in a pool….. yet only got $350k last Sunday. it’s a funny group to be part of… They love Ted and put him on a pedestal… yet if you followed his bets in the last 6 months you would have lost your dough, no negative comments after his nag tips run down the track, but many thank him as soon as he posts…. crazy. Not seen too many positive posts after Sundays selections, in fact a few have posted with negative comments. I like the BGP concept of getting groups to the track, but I reckon these punters pools will continue to decline. Not sure all the advertising on TV, social media & radio regarding punting pools and Betcha / TAB all over the show is a good look these days, makes a joke when I see the … Gamble Responsibly 🤣 Remember the days when TABs were tucked away off streets, down alleyways etc, how times have changed
  11. These 2 muppets are always on Betcha feeds…. Think they are BGP guys, hopeless
  12. Be good for the game if Te Akau get some more big priced flops…. they have had plenty but more would be fun. Love the battlers that win the big races, lower purchases or those bred themselves….
  13. I did have a chuckle after first race yesterday…. Stephen Marsh said after race Ardalio won… he was working a treat, was telling people to keep quiet, or something like that. Pity BGP not close to stable after they punted fav in that race
  14. I would say…. we will never see the BGP Hype again…. at least not for Karaka.
  15. Yeah, did get better
  16. What’s left in the pot?
  17. Must be pretty skint soon… I remember those days many moons ago at Addington….tossing up between a bet, beer or bus home… Usually ending up walking home and having a leak when I could 🫣
  18. 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
  19. 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….
  20. 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…
  21. 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?
  22. Gee…. I really struggle listening to Bevan Sweeney…. maybe it’s just at me
  23. 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
  24. 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 🤭
