Brodie Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 The tote pools appear to be shockingly low tonight! To be fair, the fields hardly inspire betting into them, but how they can afford to be paying the stake money they are offering tonight is questionable! Think it would be a Meeting that loses money!!

I know if I was betting on those races I'd be losing money lol strange as it may seem that's why I don't bet at present. Some of the harness meets have been pretty average lately but according to the men in the suits things are going well. 2 Quote

Dunedin Posted February 6, 2021 Posted February 6, 2021 Win pools didn't even get close to 10k at both met meetings.the money has halfed in tote pools from 2019 and so have all the good horses.pick 6 has gone from 25k GTD to bearly 10k.bad signs for hrnz.the race programming is pathetic and would contribute. 1 Quote

Trotsfan Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 If Brodie invested on tote then pools would increase bigtime Quote

Yep this current crop of younger Drivers,trainers in Cantetbury are a disgrace.Its one thing to be milk shaking,injecting horses and setting them up for a punt but what these guys are doing now is totally imprehensible. A good mate saw a group of them at the galloping cup a couple of years ago and they were acting like thugs and hooligans.One even asked an old lady if she sucks dick.According to my mate who was drinking next to them 3 of them got kicked out by security,with one of them saying to security"Do you know who I am". Apparently they got spoken to by HRNZ management at the time and nothing else was said. 3 Quote

I think that maybe a large generalisation of a lot of society today,we were all young once but a lot of today's lot are definitely a different breed. 1 Quote
mikeynz Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 Some of the nitwits we have in government these days and the distorted ideas they have is mind boggling,even some of the ideas NZ Harness leaders are coming up with is mind boggling too,its certainly a changing world but it ain't changing for the better.

Just seems that way to me. Good to hear there are some wholesome ones in South 😄 Quote

They may have clicked more turnover, means more takeout, means more profit, means more champagne brunches. Maybe the pennys dropped! 1 1 Quote
