  1. Why don't you guys get off your arse and promote racing yourselves in your area. It seems too easy to blame NZ Racing in general. Why not have open days at race tracks inviting the general public to come along and watch the horses being trained. Have a sausage sizzle going to feed the people. I bet not many of the general public have seen horses being trained or even been to stables. Here's your chance to invite them along and experience what goes on behind the scene. Other businesses promote themselves, they don't rely on others to help them. They may even sponsor sports events and the like to get their name out there. And no I am not a trainer or even a owner, a past owner yes. So I won't be promoting racing i have other sporting interests which I am heavily involved in.

  3. Now ex-staff track surely?
  4. I am serious. Best viewing spot. We tried to go up there but it was closed-off. The security people did not know why it was closed. Can't have been an earthquake issue otherwise the whole stand would have been closed. No doubt something to do with Work Safety. If it was open just for the private function people, I will be p.ssed off.
  5. Here's my feed back. We left the course around race 7 and went to the Tote instead. The rooms above the Public Stand were closed to a couple of private functions. That's where we have gone for the past ten years or more. Plus the roof top was closed, no one could give me a reason why. You had to queue for at least 20 minutes to get a beer. Betting queues were getting pretty long as well. We will be thinking again before going back after at least 10 years of tradition of coming to my house for breakfast before heading over. Maybe I am getting too old for this, I am on the wrong side of 55. I suggested if we want to keep doing this, perhaps we look at a different race day, Wellington Cup Day is too crazy.
  6. I will be there with around 10 others. My only visit to a race course each year. I only live around 500 metres from the main gate. Guys come to my place for a BBQ breakfast first, have a couple of beers and then head over.

  9. I know of quite a few people who haven't been betting for a while are taking advantage of the recent Free Bet events e.g. $30 on a certain race and getting a$5 for each horse yours beats. And yes I am one of them. Thanks TAB.

  11. How do I use a Freebet? Use the drop down arrow or click on the FREEBETS icon to display Freebets. Select the Freebet you want to use. The Freebet value will be applied to your bet.
