Newmarket

I’m so looking forward to no dog racing in NZ, be great watching trackside without dogs chasing a stuffed toy, no doubt a few carnival type ex dog trainers will be looking for employment…. Maybe all those involved should look at the disgraceful behaviour from people in the sport over the last few yrs…. Farewell soon 😀

And another one parted company in the last today at Te Aroha…. more regular now, maybe 2 a week. This thread will be interesting looking back…

It’s arrived…..

Come on, enough is enough. What’s going on, gallops having all sorts of issues… harness have no issues? Otaki put back a race until some muppet delivers the Kodak….

Looks like the lawyers will be the big winners out of this….. Shambles….

Another on fell off today down south…. happens at least once a week.

Yep…. We have inside presenters, oncourse presenters, lass on horse and commentator all telling us how good the horses look…. all say different nags…

Yeah…. Just that track doesn’t excite me…. too much of a leaders bias… yes I know one won coming from last, but otherwise those on pace gonna pay div

So whose account was it paid to? Seems strange, maybe more to it 😙

Wow…. 3 winners, he has tipped out about 30 horses in that period…. once again mate… you spin a positive yarn

Not heard about Leo for ages…. has he mellowed?

If Leo Molloy was riding Rox…. It would have won for sure….🫣

Very good today…. Owners will be waiting for some big offers….. What would it be worth?

Aware of that…. But in this case it was worn gear…. So no excuses.

Well, I did mention I punted it, $200 EW a big bet for me, in fact biggest one since before Xmas. So is it my money speaking, 50/50 I suppose. Got most of my money back, but yes I think it would have gone close with a better ride, so maybe it was a chance to collect. Main point is the ride was not even questioned….maybe somebody could post race on thread. Just remember,it wasn’t a runner last on rails in a 16 horse race, we know that happens all the time, this was totally different

Are you watching same race? Was 3 back on the inner, before the 300m mark you can see a clear run on the inside, but WP has decided to try his luck in the middle of field, surely he would have seen horses arriving outside,

Won well, fought strongly. Republican Party a bit unlucky, Ants good driving tried blocking Carter, I think if RP had a clearer run to post, probably wins. How crazy that trotter, paid $100 when winning both times, that will never happen again

Totally agree…

No excuses for dodgy gear….should be fined bigtime if found to be in bad repair. They stop racing if the track looks like being a problem, yet look at this, far more dangerous.

Look, I know punting is never easy, it’s gambling and anything can happen, as I backed it EW I only lost small amount …. but it peeved me off so much I didn’t have another bet at TAB / Betcha all day in protest. Used Sportsbet n Aus racing and even NBA…. but below are a few points. 1, WP chose to get pocketed around 600m from home. He had every option to track up on the outside, chose to go inside as horse that missed start took that place. 2, That resulted WP in tight racing room turning for home, had plenty of time to react, not a big field and while runners were racing together tight, it was very compact, 3 odd metres inside or wider and he would have had a clear run to line. They interviewed him after winning on hotpot…. was asked about being 3 wide in small field, he said he should have gone around earlier, sadly never mentioned first race. Stipes should have asked question, as didn’t give horse every chance to win

Interesting race, the kiwis have good draws, especially the inside 2 that begin well. If I picked one it would be Swayzee, but kiwis be in mix

You know what, yes I’m having a moan because this cost me money…. WTF was Wiremu Pinn doing on this horse….3 nags missed the start, one ran off. WRTH settles just behind leaders in great spot… was counting my dough with the $6.50 I got fixed odds…closed at $3-70… But, turns to crap. The 3 slow runners made ground, instead of moving off rail Pinn thought he would stay on rails… but then in straight thought there’s a heap of runners in the centre of track… let’s try my luck….. winner gone before running 3rd. Ironically if he had gone inside, could have driven a kenworth truck through. Yep, as I say, is my money talking, luckily bet EW, but it’s hard being a punter knowing that their selection picking was spot on, but the muppet on horse would rather be unlucky. If I had that horse, wouldn’t ride again

Either way, piss poor riding.. Although, a race or 2 later, a horse jumped out bucking and the jockey did a huge job keeping on….

Terribly unlucky. I hate it when I like a nag, think it’s value, but have to take into consideration how badly others can drive….Harrison should have peeled out earlier, if it was outside leader turning for home it wins….

In general, Wilson and Harrison good. Just the general standard of racing today as well as driving….i had a feeling in that race, Boudica was my bet of the day, but only had 20% of my bet ew, certainty beaten. Leader just walked, no gaps in straight flew down outside
