Tauherenikau Thursday

[nomates]

I have just seen that Thursday's meeting at Tauherenikau has been removed from the NZTR calander , anybody have any idea why ? Nothing else stated on the page , so in the dark .

Possibly a computer glitch .

[nomates]

Ok , so now up on NZTR , meeting moved to Awapuni due to a shortage of TAB resources due to Covid .

Have no problem with this but what part of this did they not know about that they had to leave till nomination day to inform participants of the issue , not even a nod to the possibility of this happening .

And why am i not surprised .

Surely they don't service Tauherenikau from Hamilton? Doesn't sound very efficient.

[KickintheKods]

Was put into level 3, Aidan, was put.

Get your grammar correct please, and promise us you will never grow another beard or moustache again during lockdown.

It doesn't suit you.

So how come they can service Awapuni ? The netball team got out before level 3 restrictions were put in .

You really think NZTR could think and react quicker than a team of netballers?

They don't.  Seems to me there is another undisclosed reason for this change.

NO , what planet are you on .

Unfortunate if they end up moving from a potentially good track to yet another Awapuni bog. In Oct most trainers are probably looking for better tracks. Bring on the AWT.

Why move?

As for the AWT they wouldn't race this meeting on it anyway.

@curious would probably say why not race at Foxton instead of Awapuni?

Tauherenikau now running next Thursday , basically a straight swap with Awapuni , so what has changed regarding resources , no real covid level change . All sounds a bit odd .

Well media coverage is all but non existent in NZ so why would sportsbet worry about , NZ punters are expected to call on their clairvoyant skills to get the form .

They just might need a track man to send through the Otaki times NM? give em a call, Bring Benner undone, it must be Nirvana nowadays if you've got a smokey.......don't let Holly catch you tho, she'll cut you in half from 100m with that acerbic verbal assassination.

Hmmm... that's odd. Might have got confused when they took the original meeting down. Up on Topsport and Laddies though. There on 365 too but no prices yet which is usual for them.

[nomates]

Just looked at the prices for Saturday at Randwick and Caulfield , went to the NZ races only prices for 2/3 races at each meeting as per normal , rest wont go up till tomorrow avo , why do you think they don't do them all , staff shortage ? , can't be stuffed ? , don't give a shit about the NZ punter ? , i go for the last one , or more likely they are shit scared of not having done their form and getting caught .

It's all just plain lazy with disregard for they're customers , but apparently things are on the up . Trying to be positive .

To be honest Joe i've always got on alright with H , i've only heard the stories from very reliable sources and the odd judicial report . I'm more scared of my wife .

But aren't the odds just computer generated based on other jurisdictions?   Isn't that what they paid for with the new Paddy Power system?

Well that's what i thought to but if that's the case why only put up a couple of races , who knows , i wouldn't believe anything they say .

Still no Awapuni on Sportsbet
