Newmarket

Gammalite, Were you in NZ for these races?

Thanks, makes me feel better

Yep, good picking.

Yeah true, I am deflated. Don’t worry, will still keep betting against it and the House stable so big divs will continue

Oooops, ok I was wrong. Good win, I’ve got egg on my face, hope the believers got plenty. Just to rub my nose in it more, house got quin. 😬

Well, The legend is running again in a few minutes. Drawn well you would think it will zoom to the front, if it can go 2.23 like 2 starts ago must go close. After all, Dance till dawn went same time recently with a far easier draw? As for my thoughts, I will say it won’t finish in the first 5, will have every chance and I will still have questions about its recent run. Good luck if your having a buck on it

Mick probably thinks he can bet on credit again….yeah it was a total misunderstand wasn’t it 😆

So. As for the geo blocking. Entain /TAB want NO nz punters betting overseas. But overseas punters can bet on the NZ Tab? How will this work, go through Entain sub account then get channeled to TAB? I smell a huge rat here

No surprise the government have pushed back decisions regarding greyhound racing. Google….Entain and Arena Racing Company. More questions than answers.

Anti Gambling lady on TV1 breakfast news this morning. Not too happy about the deal, she said they know no details about merger, or what to expect. Wow, this whole thing seems very shady

So many questions to ask, where does one start. 1, Where is the increased turnover coming from, do they expect to scoop every dollar currently bet from NZ overseas? 2, Are the looking for the On Line casino business or gambling on gaming to prop things up? 3, Will overseas gamblers be able to bet with NZ tab from June 1st, across all types betting? 4, Will current promos stop if they are successful geo blocking? Seems they are talking about a huge amount of money, where will it come from????

Not many times I agree with you, but this time I do. If they are offering such good betting opportunities, why do they need to geo block? Trust me, I’m not stopping betting overseas. Entain specialise on gaming, they won’t give a shit about nz racing, harness & dogs. They will just want people gambling on slots. Keiren, your a disgrace, I suggest you have killed off the average nz punter

You’re missing the point. When it won it drew outside and went hard first 800m. Last race it had cushy run and offered little, forget who it raced against. Let’s see what it does next few starts, I’m picking it will not win a race in its next 6 starts, will race poorly. Then we can all look back and wonder how it won that race

Maybe list the 10 group races he has won in Aus…..they are all top class nags that any jockey would win on. Overrated for mine, some other jockeys have better stats that are not connected to huge stable, where he picks his rides.

Raced normal again last night, had a good run offered nothing

Opie only looks good because of the average opposition and the best horses he rides. Look at Dragons Leap today, it went huge yet he had it wide the trip. Aussie rider on it wins. O’Sullivan a bit unlucky today, Reece Jones rode the same earlier on. Have to get the top aussie jockeys on these nz runners nowadays, otherwise ya wasting time and money

Many of our good drivers are now getting on a bit, Carter will go on to better things driving. Can see him winning a drivers premiership in the next 5 years

Nice reply Special Agent. What happened to the days when winners, or horses that had form reversals were swabbed and was published? I smell a rat..

Any views on blood testing last night?

You have your views, I know at times it has raced in better fields and most horses look unlucky when having a cushy run buried on rails, but this nag has struggled to win on the palmy circuit. I like the stipes when they asked the question about horses improvement…Wilson House stated the mare had been unlucky in recent starts from unfavourable draws??!😆😆😆. FFS, it draws the outside gate goes hard first 400m and fights till the end? Mighty Looee the same, I know they went hard but FFS, what’s going on. Not my money talking as didn’t have a bet last nite. Stipes stated Pre Race Blood testing? Is that all horses, some horses, which horses? Anyone know

Well, what about Superstar Legend winning that first race tonight. Be interesting to hear Mickey Mouse’s views on how it improved to win? Hopefully stipes will ask the question, and horse should be swabbed twice for everything!

Hardly a surprise that jumping races are on the decline, has been for years. Last several years the standard of jumping horses have been very poor in the Sth island, bit of a joke really. With the pathetic do gooders wanting jumping races outlawed, will decline further in NZ. Jumps racing in NZ will not exist soon, that is the biggest cert ever.

Doug Mangos was more of a gentleman. Mind you, Nikki does my head in too.

Wow, Now that was a huge run, 3 wide forcing the pace, 2 inside runners gone on turn. Horse only got overhauled late in the race. Didn’t have bet in the race, but Lilly butchered that nag in a 5 horse race. Wonder what trainers and connections think after these types of crap rides, it’s not like it’s a big field, could easily ease back and get good run. Smart riders finished 1st & 2nd, good on them both.

Yeah, he looked good when he timed his run, but he certainly lost just as many charging home too late.
