  1. They would struggle to price at a $2.00 shop

  2. Actually if you talk to, or study the very serious punters they will tell you that the price you get is critical to long term results. The pros work on relatively thin margins already - so odds offered/takeout rates/rebates etc are all very important

  3. Cambridge might be a home track for NZ TAB, or even a place to promote NZ racing. Offer better odds to attract Oz punters to a NZ meeting. So how does the NZ TAB price a home meeting, they wait till Ladbrokes posts their prices and then copy them. You will see win prices are the same for all three bookmakers bar SportsBet being one point better for one runner. All books are priced at over 131% which is high for fixed odds but common for the night before midweek racing. So on the face of it NZ Tab appears competitive (albeit in an early market at 132%), however when you look at the place odds you can see that the NZ TAB is way, way off the pace. In fact over 13% behind SportsBet. This is a massive difference.

  4. You are spot on the money Shane and TT and good on you for highlighting this This has been going on for a long time now. Often they will be $2 shy of the win prices you can get in Aussie. They call themselves "bookmakers" but true bookies don't copy and paste, they assess the chances/risk and frame their market accordingly. I remember several years ago wanting to put a bet on and the TAB agent rang through to head office and they reduced the fixed odds on that bet while I was on the phone. It wasn't even a big payout for them. Why advertise a fixed odds price if you aren't going to honour it? I think that's called "false pretences". I didn't put the bet on as a matter of principle.

    SENZ solidifies commitment to racing By SENZ SENZ has today announced it will be the major partner of New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing’s (NZTR) 2021 Horse of the Year Awards, to be held in September. This sponsorship of the Awards, which includes naming rights of the event’s ultimate honour, the SENZ Horse of the Year Award, reaffirms SENZ’s commitment to racing in its soon to be launched network of stations, acquired recently from TAB Trackside. Sports Entertainment Network CEO Craig Hutchison said that SENZ was proud to partner the awards. ‘’SENZ is excited to expand its racing offering and partnering with such a prestigious racing industry event, which recognizes the top performers. “New Zealand owners, breeders, trainers, jockeys and participants have united to drive the industry forward despite the most difficult circumstances ever encountered on the back of the global pandemic. “It has been a great year for New Zealand racing, and we can’t wait to see who is anointed the SENZ Horse of the Year.” SENZ has also unveiled its racing strategy across SENZ, with leading NZ identities leading the charge to bring racing to life across the platform and develop a new tone for audio racing coverage. From 8am Saturdays, SENZ’s lead racing host, Louis Herman-Watt, will be joined by highly respected journalist and identity Michael Guerin on ‘The Mail Run’ to welcome the punters of New Zealand to the weekend and set the stage for the all-important race-day ahead. The show aims to set the racing agenda each Saturday and be the destination for tips and the inside word. And from 1pm-5pm Saturdays, racing will be front and centre on SENZ yet again with ‘The Good Oil´. Hosted by the vastly experienced and industry respected Mark Claydon, The Good Oil will capture the imagination of New Zealand’s punting and racing enthusiasts with a fun and engaging look at the afternoon’s races. The Good Oil shares the day’s punting journey with its audience. Claydon will be joined every week by up-and-coming racing personality Teina Walters and a rotating cast of racing identities including iconic auctioneer Steve Davis, respected racing administrator Andrew ‘Butch’ Castles and multiple Group One winning jockey Sam Spratt. The traditional Trackside channel will also run every race on the SENZ app under the ‘Trackside” tile. Herman -Watt will lead racing coverage across the breakfast show with Brendon McCullum and Israel Dagg and during mornings with Ian Smith. “We are delighted to join NZTR in supporting industry and areas such as ownership, syndication and local events to bring racing to new and existing fans alike,” Hutchison said. NZTR CEO Bernard Saundry said “We are excited to have SENZ on board for the Awards. Having worked closely with SEN in Australia over the past 12 months, we are looking forward to their impact on the New Zealand market.’’ In Australia, SEN is the largest syndicator of sports radio content across Australia. The business owns and operates 21 radio stations around the country, including 1116 SEN Melbourne, 1170 SEN Sydney, 1629 SEN SA in Adelaide, as well as 13 stations under its racing brand SENTrack. It also owns a newspaper, magazine, and talent management business.

  8. Yep, more have died in Oz this year from the vaccine than Covid! No deaths from Covid and 2 ladies due to Astra Zeneca vaccine with another 48 hospitalised with clots, many serious and still in hospital. ( Not to mention 5000 deaths in the USA---CDC figures so probably more!!) I'm a little younger than your parents Gruff and after informed analysis I won't be lining up.

    I can see a card coming out soon - will it be Red or Yellow. I'm not sure whether the potential recipient is plain dumb, stupid ,arrogant or the whole lot. Perhaps he wants to go out in a blaze of glory knowing full well he's been caught out making statements which he wont or now cant substantiate.

  17. Interesting. Just found this online. Check out last two columns- Last 3 fur and Distance travelled. I think all first three home would be good chances based on their ability and pedigrees.
