Newmarket

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

These 2 muppets are always on Betcha feeds…. Think they are BGP guys, hopeless

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….

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

I would say…. we will never see the BGP Hype again…. at least not for Karaka.

Yeah, did get better

What’s left in the pot?

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 🫣

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
