Looks like an even contest this one . Having said that I feel a win coming on. My losers are as follows. R1 2-8 R2 2-8 R3 5-8 R4 10-11 BB R5 6-12 R6 3-5 R7 6-12 R8 4-10 R9 7-13 R10 2-8 BB All the best Jill. Go the Miseries , time to give it death, really this time . Its getting cold down here in the cellar.

It was great to be on course to see him win his 1000th, and see the presentation made to him by Noel Harris, an hour or so later in front of his jockey friends and those in attendance. Comment was made "the next 1000 will be harder"!!! Cheers. Robert.

Cubity has a routine..... Lose money , go to ATM , go to Woolston TAB to deposit said dollaros , lose money.... The Cubemeister reckons Mrs Cubes never reads our postingness on this site , so our personal confessions here about moneyness never get read by the boss , so our poor puntingness go undetected.... Ashburton yesterday , somewhere up North today .....same old same old ....dollars down the drain.... But gloriousness is surely just around the corner... Following some restauranteurs' thoroughbred , backing all South Island runners and jockeys tomorrow , the Warriors on a winning streak...all signs point to the year of the dog being the turn around year for the Cubinator... Or not...

At least ya bum matched your shirt

7 from 7 tonight, 17 in a row.

No Elle Mac is just way better!!! Cant believe she paid 3.5, money for old rope!!

Steve's totals with Rogerson, Te Akau, Hawtin and on his own account, in NZ are about 155 individual winners of 2 year olds. Some earlier computer records are not available. Steve has an affinity with the young ones that he identifies early on. Winning combo when Bosson is involved. Steve's, God son from Hell !! TE AKAU needs Steve !! Rev

I see the powers to be are looking at David McCormicks drive for trying to get the lead of Sam Ottley who would not had up was Tim Williams attacking John Dunn in the Trott ( who was on the fav $1.85)with mark putting on winterfell in the one one is this not the same thing it’s team driving at its best you would get felt to in aust for less (I have nothing against Tim Williams just comparing)

Just read / received your message. Sincerely appreciate your apology. Good luck with your Tipping today. I hope and trust you find a few winner's on the finish line today. Cheer's.

Today I'm going with these to keep the Ad Augusta scoreline ticking over merrily :- R1 = 6x7 Classic Touch/Hinerangi R2 = 2x8 Felaar / Gorbachev R3 = 2x7 Montoya Star / Sleek Secret R4 = 1x7 Scott Base / Astor Best Bet R5 = 1x5 Written By / Spin R6 = 1x2 Krone / Khulaasa R7 = 2x5 Savvy Coup / Gold Spice R8 = 1x2 Holy Snow / Muraaqeb R9 = 2x15 Silent Sedition / Bring Me Roses R10= 2x3 Tom Melbourne / Comin' Through Best Bet I've mulled over at length whether to play our second Joker today, and in the end I've decided to delay until another play against the Dark Horses at a later date. I ain't learnt me lesson, eh Rosina ! The memory though of 2 Dark Horses in PJ's 'Bottom 5' Wall of Infamy last Saturday lingers large in my mind. If only the other 3 Dark Horses hadn't done enough to carry the day. Won't happen next time. Good luck to my 'Ad Augusta' team-mates today, and Pete and the Roylesses, you've had a lucky reprieve today. If only I'd been braver. Thanks, PJ, and have a very enjoyable day's racing everyone.

Jill is the gorgeous one in her profile pic, Rees. That'll distract you tomorrow for sure

Huge achievement - and great marketing ploy keeping us hanging on like that - tuned into every jolly race meeting this side of the black stump for the last how many weeks ... hope NZTR gave you a cut of that Tony But seriously - a huge feat and something to be very proud of. J.

Bloody outstanding effort. Six from the first seven. Or a winner in every race they had a runner and quinellas to boot. I hope Brodie got plenty

Just looking back through this thread geez there is some awful people in this world....stick the boots in when a guy is down on his luck and some nice ones too thankfully. And most of the time they win out over the awful ones.

I would rather pay the fee to deposit online, than end up at the Woolston!

Ligeiro

The world is a beautiful place after tonight's results for the AS team. Iraklis would be a happy man as well

Felaar Flamingo Scott Base Belle Du Nord Volks Lightning Thanks to all those involved in putting up prizes etc. Fun competition and focuses us all on a great day's racing in store PS - I'll take my prize at HQ - will be able to afford the airfare back up there PPS - good luck to all racecafers with a horse running at Trentham tomorrow - Cubes, Blue and P4P - any others ?

Whoa massive over-reaction! I said no disrespect to those who've put up their hard earned - did you miss that? Simply observing that if you are good enough to pick 5 from 5 you deserve a big reward so go out and bet a dollar. I've run competitions on the tipping forum and put up my own hard earned, so don't need your ire. Cheers

I struggle with $18m down the gurgler on Typhoon and, if the numbers being bandied around by Brian de Lore are correct, another $30m up in front costs to get this package up and running. Then, once it goes live, an annual license fee to Paddy Power of $17m or so. It's flawed, however the NZRB is pregnant with the deal. All of this has nothing to do with NZTR although realistically it does. Because, since the Racing Act came to be, NZTR, HRNZ, GRNZ and the 4 wise independent directors, if you include the Chair, have sat there and nodded their heads as know it all experts in this sphere of fully understanding what it takes to deliver NZ's betting software package.The Board not once but twice has approved these moves. Back in 2008 Graeme Nahkes was tasked with performing the very first 5 yearly "Effectiveness and Efficiency Audit" of the NZRB being a statutory requirement of the 2003 Racing Act. Salient words he wrote back then...."to the degree to which the NZRB remains a ‘statutory monopoly’ it will continue to be the subject of suspicion that it is bureaucratic, well resourced and overly ‘leisurely’ in its approach to its affairs. The experience of other organisations that have undergone a transition process like this organisation , suggests that further significant performance improvement should be expected" His report was significantly watered down and for his services he was sacked with Michael Stiassny appointing KPMG to do the next audit in 2013. Published in 2014, it was a patsy report. Quite simply from the NZRB's position of having over $60m available funds in reserves and then receiving an annual windfall in Duty relief of $35m+ to then get to a current day position of being in debt, beggars belief. Perhaps some out there may be aware of who is putting the current "Effectiveness and Efficiency Audit" together? Many of those who've watched this debacle unfold over the past 15 years could write the contents for this edition. In 1982 a guy walked into the Whanganui Computer Centre and, before blowing himself up, graffitied the words "We have maintained a silence closely resembling stupidity" hmmm....

The Racing industry doesn’t need all that shit !

Might put a case to the boys to play our Joker this Saturday - against The Royle Family. Making it back-to-back Joker plays for the Double AAs if we go ahead. Will be risky, 'cos if our play didn't come off we'd have a real uphill battle to make the playoffs. But sometimes ya gotta spend money to make money. Pete is playing a blinder as Captain of The Royle Family, but underneath him there's a distinct air of fragility to my way of thinking. Opportunity appears to be knocking. Another option is waiting for the Dark Horses, to see if we can do better than the 2 points we got last Saturday. Dark Horses had 2 players in PJ's 'Bottom 5' list, so again there's a distinct air of vulnerability for us` to capitalise upon. Decisions. Decisions.

You must hate the Tour de France or any meets at the Velodrome. You are always on about team driving when the Butchers and the Dunns win. Imagine the owners getting together and saying I will slaughter mine tonight so you can win.

Don't worry Sarah's a Chelsea supporter

Yes 2 very similar incidents but stipes only going after the small guys once again!

Nothing to do with horse racing at all but this scene from the Champions League quarter final draw made me laugh (helps if you turn the sound up on the video link, although you still get the message)

Team driving and nothing said b....t

The NZRB would continue to borrow to finance their grotesque salaries! The lunatics are firmly in control of the asylum.

Was team driving happening out there ? Watch Stress Factor drive - team driving to slaughter the favourite so stable runner gets cruisy trip . No mention in report either - b....t

Lance Armstrong never got beat much I agree but when the moneys up they grow a leg they have got good stock to work with there are plenty of places they don’t go Mot Westport Nelson ect

Lee, what no Fisken's 50/50 horse feed n oats in there? bugga thought we had the best feed in the country up here.....AllStars, outstanding, 'an that's how it's done son!' woohoo! go the mighty AllStars!!! that EnhanceYourCalm lovely big striding trotter, he's in the right barn to get his shot at fame for sure, can't wait to see him run here in Auks..... Peter, knock it off no need for that snide bullshit here, AllStars can be beaten others have done just that recently, just read a few results.... Cheers Iraklis

It’s a good effort buy the all stars to win 7 I’m in a couple of syndicates with some nice horses but it’s got to the stage were we have to find races with no all stars or sell we just can’t bet them

You're not alone in backing horses that like to follow other horses, like taking lotto tickets and living the dream. I remember the old Trumpet ice cream ads, "One day Roger Phipps, One day"

Nice win alright. Only watched whole race after reading this thread, but huge.

Thanks for the team talk Howie. I don't think any of the Royle ladies will appreciate being referred to as fragile. Play your joker if you're a gambler.
