    35 days of racing??? Take away the main dates, nobody turns up? I support an all weather track, but it is hardly the silver lining. Pitty, i agree it might suit your stable more than others, as you seem to race them more often, but I am sure, many horses will hate it, just like they do overseas. As soon as tossers put owners before punters, that is when the house of cards started to tumble.

    Some great pics here, lets post a few from way back, when racing was loved by all.

    Seems a few got robbed years ago. I remember when old John from the old Edgeware TAB got robbed, everytime anyone ran thru the door he shit himself😂. Grumpy old prick, his wife was nice looking & pleasant. Also remember when the Aranui TAB got robbed. A few rumours did the rounds back then, mmmm interesting.

    The Club, up by the Sydenham Bakery. Bowl n Jack still has terminal and self service, but they do expect terminal to close soon. Funny you mention Sandridge, drove by recently, no TAB sign outside??

    Yep, been with them for a few years, always look after you. They will offer some good promos once they merge. They even sent me this for my birthday!! Never got anything from the tab.

    Good rider, but he gets beaten on a lot of hot favs
  7. Newmarket
    Sorry, the first few times they met starship was fav, later TK hot fav.

    Your missing the point. Yes, I have sky in 2 rooms, and of course I can watch trackside on sky go, or listen to trackside radio on the app, so all is well at home. But i agree with others, it is a bloody hassle if you are on the road a lot. Yes, I can listen to trackside radio on app and play thru bluetooth, but when a call comes thru, or lose wifi, or email arrives etc, it stops feed? Usually just when race is getting to the finish post. Also seems to stop after listening for a while, so have to have push play again. I just never bet now mid week, only when I know I will be home. Cut my betting in half

    Yes, those 3 mentioned with of course CC, he had a good run. Starship started fav in most of his clashes with Tuapeka Knight, but came off second best. I remember Ian Cameron closing the gap to the line one day with the old hub rail, still won in the end.

    I am running out of places to deposit. Not too keen to deposit on line, dont like the banks to see what i am doing with my dough. But The Club in Sydenham is now closed, dodgy pub, but used to deposit money. No tab in barrington, christ they are making it hard.

    Happens all the time

    Tom, where have you been?

    I saw him on TV recently complaining about how the lockdown is affecting his turnover? He must think he is the only one suffering.

    Too true, last night was a disaster.

    Please, Please Do Not Drive Again. That Was A Disgrace.

    Punted it last two races, very average when money was on. Good luck with it, seems a bit weak to me. Is Riccarton still the same level 2?
  17. Newmarket
    Will be out soon.

    I know a little more about this now, not good.

    FFS, his mate Tims back! Dont get sucked in Tim, people like yourself that see the good in him, you allow him air. Do this Tim, google him and his many court cases, see how he has treated many people in the past then report back. Just because he gives the mission some baked beans means zilch.

    I agree that he has a family, and feel sorry about that, but surely you can see that most agree he deserves what he gets. Only thing that has ever amazed me about the guy, is the huge support he gets by some of his racing mates? Through all the disgusting and terrible things, he still has mates? That is the reason that he has been able to continue his rants.

    I see on social media that Paul Court, as well as Cran have stopped training??? Anyone know whats going on?
  22. Newmarket
    Ha Ha, no i am not Mr Fletcher. As i have mentioned before, I am just a punter, used to go to the races any chance i could earlier on, but probably only go about once a year now. Was more involved in the social side of harness racing, piss n yarns.
  23. Newmarket
    Yeah, well I do not know MH really, but the night that his nag came 3rd all those years ago, i did talk to him on the night. Think he trained it from memory, think he was working at Fred Fletchers at the time, I had a mate working there too at the time.
  24. Newmarket
    Do you remember this horse? 3rd at Greymouth in the late 80s? Think it paid around $10.
  25. Newmarket
    False Score, Mr that is.
