  1. That’s a cool memory, handy horse McShane.
  2. So they were advertised to buy? Didn’t know that, thought it was someone local who came up with radio booster, if anyone has one a picture be great. initially, Radio Pacific didn’t broadcast in Christchurch, at night you could listen sometimes, during day harder. 3ZB would broadcast most races, always a chance they would interrupt during race with news😆😆, also 4zb listening to Forbury.
  3. I first went to Addington in the early 80s, firstly with my dad but after that with a group of 6 or so mates, hardly missed a meeting back then for many years. Loved the 2600 standing start, would pop out of bar, walk underneath and buy square pie, then head to start beside tree. If my horse went away, would walk to finish post to watch finish, if horse galloped, head to bar😆
  4. Probably punters, including me should be eating what jockeys do on Raceday…
  5. Haha, on the roof, thats dedication right there. My local in the early 80s was the Edgeware TAB. Saw a guy in the car park one night listening to Radio Pacific, had some contraption that had a timber flat base, then had a timber frame around, with wires wrapped around with some sort of tuning dial. Not sure if it worked too well or not, but sucked me into buying one🤭. Anyone remember, or got a pic?
  6. Is Thomass ok? I’m worried about his mental health…. even more than before
  7. You don’t get it do you, I had a very good day on the punt yesterday, eliminating some horses/ jockeys that I think are well unders. Kah popped up a bit on some of her favoured runners, but others too. Until next weekend Chief…. No doubt if she wins a couple at some stage, you will give her a plug….
  8. Well I did mention it on earlier post, I said horse was so superior it could have won with the both of us on it. Yes, fell into a nice position, leader run them along, horse did the rest.
  9. Yes, a big run by winner that come from last, but if she had got going earlier wouldn’t have got boxed in early in straight. Hopefully she continues to watch better jockeys and will learn in the future
  10. You name their runners lately that are running quicker times, this is gonna be good. I wait with excitement….
  11. What nonsense, who cares what a horse is paying, the horse raced very well and with a proper ride would have paid a Div. Same as Williams ride on Bezique, nearly pulled off an upset with a great ride.
  12. Come on Chief, you have not mentioned her poor riding today at Doomben today? Had 1 hot fav win, which in all honesty would have won with me and you in saddle it was clearly that superior. She rode a horse called Acid Wash early on, poor owners, settled well back finished far too late, 2L from winner, wasn’t reading the track too well. Rode plenty of favoured runners for not much. Craig Williams, what a ride on Bella Nipotina, you can see clearly he went up to win easily, horse peaked a little so sat and really asked for effort couple strides from post, only reason it won. Kah went too early with Chain Of Lightning,
  13. Nice summary…
  14. Yes, stable had some fantastic horses…. But let’s get real. Around the so called blood 💉 era, well it seems nothing was illegal? But come on, some of those performances 3 wide, real quick times by their good nags, but also their 2nd tier nags was hard to believe. Is the stable still involved with it??
  15. Nothing wrong with this promo… have a go bro… use ya bonus cash the next day
  16. Yep, certainly looks that way.
  17. Come on, it’s 2024….. easier options to watch races on that the old Dell. Has Thomarse been silenced? Seems all he does now is add a laffing emoji?? Quite ironic, as he is the biggest clown ever..
  18. I disagree, I think the App, Promos etc are a big improvement. I’m back punting at the TAB
  19. I never watch on PC, I’m not that old. Mostly watch racing on sky, although have watched odd race on Freeview tv again, so that should excite some. TAB app works brilliant on IPad, easy to switch channels and gives split screen option. All up, thumbs up, big improvement all around.
  20. Overall, I’m very pleased with the new App. Issues been fixed, not as slow, and great 2nd, 3rd & 4th promos being offered on all races at 3 meetings tomorrow, as well as fixed odds surge at other meeting. First time in over 6 years, that I will bet more with the TAB tomorrow rather than Sportsbet.
  21. Paul has trained and driven some fantastic horses over the years…. But, I really think he should give up driving. Been watching him for awhile and he is making really bad decisions. Shocking drive on Forgiveness today, been unlucky on several occasions. Let him be remembered for his champion horses he has had, but obviously the mind is not quick at the moment.
  22. God, you only comment when she wins a couple, she was on good horses, no real surprises. Maybe comment when she gets beat on the hot pots….
  23. Yeah, true. But at least they have fixed quite a few issues quickly
  24. Fixed a few issues, I can now print pdf form iphone, also while watching on iPad, quick and easy to switch trakside channels, also gives you split screen. Like the deposit offer today, deposit $50 and get $50 bonus cash. Overall it seems pretty good, still miss the Will pays but no other operator show
