  1. Thanks, do you know anything about membership? Ta
  2. Anyone know if Methvens punters comp going ahead this year? Or will Addington have theirs on show day? Thanks
  3. Can somebody please tell me how I buy admission / members ticket for the Weds cup week, couplands mile day. Tried online, takes me to mostik site or whatever to purchase, says none avail? Is this correct, or can I buy direct from CJC office. I’m not after free tickets, just your advice please. Also, membership. I see it states $290 to become a city member, elsewhere it states $210? If I became a city member do I get 2 tickets for each meeting, also when does the membership period start / end. Thanks for your help, CJC are a little vague on membership
  4. So do you sit in the car or on grass verge to eat cut lunch? i take food when at a grass track harness meeting, but I have never taken food into riccarton members area, they probably would not allow it
  5. A group of 8 of us turned up yesterday, about half were CJC members and we met in Phar Lap Room. Thought price of alcohol reasonable, $5 per tap beer with members discount, no complaints there. But the food was overpriced crap. Purchased couple of pizzas at $18 each, it was so soggy we couldn’t pick it up.I will never complain about a crummy $5 Dominoes pizza again, would have been a far better option. Chips and a few fish bites were also soggy and $16 for a small basket. Some had the plate of curry and rice, basic but ok, thought pricey at $18. No more sandwiches sold in room anymore, had to go downstairs and had limited options. Come on CJC, you can do better than that, for future meetings we have agreed to meet for brunch somewhere first, don’t eat the overpriced soggy slop at races, then go for dinner after. or, just not go to the races at all,
  6. Can someone help please. First race tomorrow 11.26, do you know what time public entrance is open and members area, thanks
  7. Now he says, I May Be Back In 2025???? FFS, he didn’t even compete in 2022. He calls himself a Hospo Legend, more like Hospital Luanatic.
  8. Must be NZs biggest wannabe. The shit that he has talked in the last few months, then to throw his toys out the cot when he is losing shows what type of person he is.
  9. When was the last time you posted anything on here about poor, dangerous riding. Maybe have a look how many times I have,
  10. Yes, your correct. But if standards were better, rules were enforced and jockeys charged for careless riding this may not have happened. Seems you have never mentioned the poor riding standards in Canterbury, so your turning a blind eye.
  11. Very sad for all the family. As I have mentioned many times this year, the standard of riding in NZ is at an all time low, far too much interference and falls. Seemed like a very nice young man, thoughts with his mum.
  12. Randwick abandoned because of visability issues.
  13. No worries, Aussie racing starts soon. Better nags, better tracks and far better jockeys…. And less falls
  14. Just watched first few races today, majority of those riders not adapting to grit track are they,
  15. I see Trev retiring. Just looking at YouTube interview with Rozzo, he mentions his health not the best. Anyone know what’s up, not seen him for awhile, hope the best
  16. I have no issues with the Riccarton All Weather track. But let’s face it, the Sth Island jockeys have no idea how to ride on it. You still see horses challenging for the lead 400m out, gasping at the 300m mark.
  17. Another horse fell today at Timaru. I watched over a 120 races from Aus on Sat, no horse fell??
  18. Sadly a horse fell at Ruakaka Race 3, this is normal for NZ racing. Australia will have hundreds of races today, will hardly have any fallen runners. Amateur NZ racing
  19. $875 per week. Ha Ha, all those battling nags going around each week in NZ for piss poor stake money, who i their right mind would race a horse in NZ? Best to get involved in Aussie ownership, may cost a bit more, but far more professional. Huge stakes, better trainers, better jockeys, better everything, I shudder to look at the donkeys racing today, honest trainers would have sacked most way back.
  20. Since the TAB have mucked around with their Form Hub, you can’t print from an iPhone???? When using previously, showed print icon on bottom centre of iPhone, not now. Need to get laptop out now, FFS sort it out.
  21. Well, That was a hard watch, horse very good but given little chance.
  22. Take out Manawatu stats, and his UDR is lower than a sausage dogs guts.
  23. Maybe I was harsh on Chief, I take it back. But come on, if your a driver in front you shouldn’t be able to choose who you let out from behind you before passing lane. And, to be honest this does happen all the time, each week you would see it happen. Maybe I am negative on the game, but look what it is delivering at the moment, it’s a terrible look, most fields are poor. I suppose being a punter for years I just put up with it, but not anymore.
  24. Your a little simple at times, one reason I stopped posting on this site, and of course the bundle of adverts which is a joke. Let me say it again, here’s 2 scenarios and believe me, they happen all the time. 1- A horse begins to tire, has horses on its outside so the trailing horse has nowhere to go but get carted back. This happens, have no issue with it, thats racing. 2- A horse begins to tire, but driver knows stablemate or mate behind him. Will do everything he can to let the inside runner through, rather than wait for passing lane. It’s crooked shit, it annoys the hell out of me, thieves on wheels alright. Hope you understand now
