  1. 🤣😂🫣
  2. Come on, do you really think the Government will introduce Geo Blocking just so the NZ TAB can greedily scoop the pool? Auckland Casino reckon they lose $250 mill to overseas operators too… so you reckon they will prosper too? Then you have Trademe and local retailers complaining about eBay, Temu…. So we gonna ban them too. As well as anything else you can buy online, especially smaller items that don’t cop extra tax? Below are the only Countries to Geo Block, you wanna join the club? Iran, Russia, Sudan, Syria,Brazil & China?
  3. No, didn’t have bet in trot races. Although, I did like Confessional, luckily didn’t have a punt.
  4. Only said expect an announcement? Won’t happen.
  5. Add in Masterly, who if it didn’t gallop would have won, he has plenty nice types….
  6. Oh dear…. Punters be feeling sick if they punted Confessional🫣. Horse won well last start, but small field so Paul couldnt stuff up that drive…. But in bigger fields like tonight, always unlucky. Master trainer thou, I reckon Tectonic and Confessional going to the top…especially if others are driving
  7. WTF?
  8. Kah just butchered another one… Letsfacethemusic😁😁😁😁
  9. Give him a bit of time, first go at Trackside. I don’t mind the guy
  10. Great to see Greg Oconner at Riccarton. Actually asks trainers & jockeys intelligent questions. Shows up the other chimp he is working with
  11. I see promo now is for 7 runners…. Still not enough to entice me
  12. Well, dropping from $40 to $25 will hardly make any difference to anyone actually interested in harness, although might get a few more drunk young ones there, here’s what has pissed me off in the last few years. 1-Alcohol, it’s bad enough paying big money for a simple beer, but after a few races they start selling you only 2 at a time, bloody hopeless if you’re in a group?? Does my head in…. 2-Food, pretty limited really in general areas, and bloody expensive. That’s why most have lunch or breakfast before arriving. 3-Seating, now the stand has gone very little seating is available? 4-Betting, usually I do betting on phone, but a few years back we had syndicate so had to bet with TAB. No bet slips anywhere, queue of many, We attended once in TAB area, from memory it was $100, got somewhere to bet and sit, that’s all ☹️ 5-Atmosphere, I used to love going but now in my late 50s it doesn’t have that buzz it once had, rather than horse followers excited about harness, others excited about music. 6-Parking, terrible. Either taxi or Uber, which adds to a very expensive day. All of the above put me off going to Addington over cup week, would rather go to Riccarton.
  13. First 2 races 2nd & 3rd promo today, not 8 runners so worthless. TAB has same offer regardless runners
  14. That’s because they are mostly abandoned
  15. Somebody should tell this crowd…. that we hardly have any 8 horse races anymore, so their bonus back 2nd and 3rd are useless, only 2 races out of the first 4 races have 8 runners. Yet TAB have same promo yet pay regardless of field size
  16. Error alright. I see you seem to suggest it’s just one of those things in a 8 horse race?? I’m the opposite, if it was a full field I could understand it, but in such a small field she could have pulled back to go wider. Should have wine easily
  17. I care what they wear…
  18. Well done Nigel. You have a lot of followers on FB, always enjoy your clips. Harness NZ should involve you on their FB and social media
  19. Too true. Friday combo on TV are fantastic, far better than the Saturday nonsense. Greg and whale know their shit, while the Saturday girls just read of laptop
  20. Punters be reeling after Kahs ride on Photograph…. Wow
  21. What on earth is that green baggy jump suit or overalls is the woman wearing today…. Hopefully that’s not beamed around the world
  22. Yeah, seems a nice bloke…. But let’s not get too carried away with his win in the feature race last night. Horse outside stopped, so easily popped into one one…. You could have driven it
  23. What about promos, most seem a double up of TABs?
