NZ Cup week noms

[curious]

Anyone seen these? They closed at 4pm yesterday.

Seems a bit odd. The TAB are still taking bets on the pre-nom Guineas markets.

That's odd too. I still have a pre-nom market for the 2000.

Back on mine too

[curious]

Still odd that the noms aren't available anywhere as far as I can see, ove 24 hours after they closed. That's the NZCup as well and the Group 3 Mile on the middle day whatever that is now called.

Join TAB Racing Club Mile, formerly the TAB Mile formerly the Couplands Bakeries Mile.

Apparently, they do great fruit cakes, 1.8 kg cake, free cake tin, almond icing, all for $30.  I don't think you can make it cheaper than that

I send my mother 3 or 4 a year. She's going well at age 96, so I reckon I'll keep eating them.

It's the preservatives.

Although looking at the calories per serving it might be better than a bag of Dunstan High Performance Feed.
