How the hell did you get that?

Ok, while we are talking about John Vincent, here is a quick quiz. He drove a trotter when it won its first race, went on to win 7 races. Who was it?

Ooops, your right.

I did back it on show day one year, beat nostradamus paying double figures.

Right oh, here we go. Best Collect. I got $2 of a treble up at Addington in the late 80s. Think i got about $10k from memory, ididnt work for 2 weeks, thought icould punt full time! Mmmm, didnt work to well. First leg winner was Miss Mischief, paid over $20, Brosnan drove 2nd leg, not sure name, and Ants drove Curling in last, led all way and fell in. Unlucky! Christ, so many. But when I was younger, one did piss me off for months. Greymouth harness meet, popped into local TAB, mate told me Terranium would bolt in. No idea what it was paying, put $5ew on it, and took $2 Trb, Besta Kara with Terranium with about 9 or 10 in last! Well, you guessed, one i didnt have won, trb paid about $10, pissed me off for months, thought about it each morning for ages. Why didnt i spend the extra $4 for field, I didnt have a bet for 3 weeks, just looked at my $5ew ticket that got me back around $125. Many times since same thing happened, used to it now? Driver-Ants Exciting-Steel Jaw, just remember the crowd buzzing a lap from home under a hold. Trainer-Richard Brosnan, gee i loved following his horses in the 80s, bloody consistent. Track- Mot & Add Tv- Lyell Creek Look forward to grass racing

What did andronicus pay? Did it race on grass the next day?

I take it you are taking the piss with J Keast??

Only Molloy would get excited about his invite list. Christ, if there is a god, he must be pissing himself laffing over molloy and the destiny twins.

I see the AMP show already cancelled for 2020. Already show week has lost a lot. Who knows .

Has anyone really missed nz racing, all codes?

Went poorly, thought melody belle poor as well. Should have finished closer with the run it had

You what, i have been totally disappointed with TABs new fixed odds platform. WTF have they been paying for, nothing has changed, apart from a few more options on certain sports. Racing fixed odds are consistently unders, crap compared to rivals. But some of their promos have been crazy, here are a few examples. Promos on tennis after xmas, you placed a $10 sets bet on any game, regardless if you won or not, tab paid you a $1 for each ace your player served? Well hello, those earlier matches were easy to pick, take top seed player bet, sometimes these guys were serving 20,30 or more aces? I was getting heaps of bonus bets, trust me it was money for jam. Compare to aussie sites, they did similar, but only in selected games, mostly even matches??? Tab must have lost shitloads. Also had promo on darts, $50 on player sets betting, but gave you bonus bet on first leg checkout, I think the first few times i took it, checkouts were 76, 98 & 56. Tab stopped it shortly after? Just who is coming up with these offers?

Strange, how much would it take to run? Must be plenty stuck in areas in lockdown listening to radio, even betting on aus racing today? They are killing off everything.

Mind you, the promos are terrible. Look what they are offering on Melody Belle & Shark today? Christ those odds piss poor, compare odds with beteasy??? And they give you 10 x bet returns? TAB are gone, not sure how they can survive in the future

TAB should be happy that aus racing still going? Otherwise it would be a total disaster.

Yeah, but after the race finishes, we have no clown putting up result blind, which usually says PHOTO, right on winning post so you cant see replay finish, or they put up wrong result. Im loving it

Nobody has come up the drive for a week trying to sell me insurance, power or internet. I love it

Best day ever. No crap nz tracks, and no piss poor presenters that know FA what they are talking about. Really is a good day.

At least we have this meeting today. I would say make the most of it, dont know how much longer they can race for.

FFS just gallop them. Who is gonna give a shit.

Wow, they are struggling enough, but now no live stream Trackside 1. Struggle to log on. Bloody stupid pricks.

Wow

Expect an announcement today. Not looking good. Have to get into the Esports

God that track is utter shit. Nothing runs on, its a front running bog shit hole. No wonder punters not betting, its not all about covid-19, its the shit product offered. Might be good to see racing pulled, many would have to get another career, why not.

E games?? Hell this is getting serious. I like the part about 17,000 people in the industry rely on punters gambling to survive? Wow, that makes me want to stop punting. To be fair thou to the tab, they have had me back punting with them this year due to their promotions.
