  1. Thought same, crazy bet off 35m
  2. Think BGP got cleaned up
  3. Yep, Aussie drivers to good in trot, controlled the race. Didn’t have bet, hate leaders bias
  4. Did I hear right that OP got suspended for ride?
  5. Agree, but still metropolitan racing in Aus ahead NZ
  6. I’ve stopped looking today, they could never get 3 horses in right order in running now…. So no chance 4 horses in order… as well as back to front depending on left/ right track. pretty bad really
  7. Watched an interview recently on an Australia racing show, they were interviewing Jayne Ivil. She said she wasn’t a very good apprentice rider, stated Aus probably wouldn’t have given her licence, yet NZ did. I assume that is what is happening in NZ, desperate for riders so anyone gets a licence. Love her honesty, she seems to know abit about racing too
  8. Somebody may have already mentioned this…. But when the race is running they have the 4 horses numbers at bottom of screen…. Sometimes the leader is on the left, then it’s on right… WTF
  9. Anyone watch Racing Dreams Sky 85 this morning at 11am. I think it is brilliant, very professional, not sure who the woman presenter is with Tim, but she is brilliant. NZ should look at that show, even if they could get half as good, be far better than NZ presenters offers.
  10. Amazing meeting is going ahead today after so much rain, really excited with Aus racing today. Imperatriz is a brilliant horse, best to come from NZ in many years and proven against the best across the ditch. Match race between I Wish I Win today, for mine not much between them. Will be backing I Wish I Win only because track record, I think it will suit better than other, also Jmac over OP any day for me. Roughies for multiples, Aft Cabin & Buenos Noches.
  11. G1 win in NZ means little nowadays….. just hack racing mostly. Watch Aus racing today at main tracks if you want to see good horses competing
  12. No, that’s fine everyone will have different views, not offended at all. More I think about it, $250k is probably too low, maybe up towards $500k. But hey, if connections get $1mil, well done 👍👍
  13. Let’s see, one thing I will say is the horse has been very well placed since it started racing, well done for trainer and connections. But, she is small, never raced in Australia and some of those fields she has beat have been average at best. Not knocking the horse, would love to own her but would be far better buys for mine if ya talking a million. Can’t understand connections selling…
  14. Ha Ha Ha… Classic
  15. Yeah, they should know that 80% of horse racing punters are over 45yrs old with dodgy eyesight.
  16. Totally agree. Maybe background colour not good
  17. I think they stated no place divs shown before race? Seems weird, Div font far too small
  18. Was watching last race on iPad…and I mentioned graphics hard to watch. Just got on TV (Sky62), and to be honest it seems even harder to read divs etc. Is it just my dodgy eyes or do others agree👍
  19. Pretty cool to be racing for that sort of Chief Stipeh…. Right on your doorstep.
  20. New graphics not easy to read for a colour blind old fella😆
  21. Seems to be a circus up there…
  22. Seems a good concept, be a few Sth Island trainers, owners and riders happy to be chasing $350k on Sat 13th. Hopefully the major spoils go to local connections, those not associated with larger satellite stables.
