Bimbo got a reaction from Pak Star in Entain
The right to operating a monopoly was purchased by Entain. Meaningful growth in betting on racing isn't really possible now. Picking a winner in racing you're betting into a 126% or worse market. Picking a winner in sport you're betting into a 106% or better market. Only a limited amount of people aren't able to work out which way they should go if they need to have a bet.

Bimbo got a reaction from Pam Robson in Chris Hopkins
He can't stay on. but who else has your party got? I don't follow politics, but I wish Betfair would put up a market for next PM. I'd have a good bet on Erica Stanford.

When the time off she has had as a result of numerous [and significant] injuries, as well as her regular trips home for the worst of the winter, is factored in, the achievement is an amazing effort.

So that wonderful little rider Tina.com rode her 500th. winner on Saturday. Great effort Tina and long may it continue. Didn't notice any acknowledgement on the NZTR website though. Oh I forgot South Island rider, doesn't count.

Bimbo reacted to JJ Flash in Is Terri Rae the best trainer in NZ?
One of the first to send fax's to owners on final track gallops pre race. It was the highlight for many of us on a Thursday

Neither has a patch on Murray Baker. He was the worst tipster ever. Great trainer though.

Bimbo got a reaction from Insider in Congrats J Mac You Are A Credit To New Zealand
James got on Storm Boy for its next start and did worse. Three wide from the start and finished fourth. Ryan has come from the other side of the world to win Australias three biggest races, Melbourne Cup, Cox Plate and Golden Slipper and you cringe when you see he's riding.

I've a mate, yes you read that right, a mate, he has shares in 20 horses at the moment, with several syndicators and some with trainers synd.
He's one of the most knowledgable racing people I've met, he's 78, he's raced horses since Moses played on the wing for Bethlehem.
He just called me to announce he's been following Ms Rae and is in no doubt she is way in front of all the big players in the training ranks in NZ, after reading her stats I'm inclined to agree.
How can a trainer with 16 horses on her books according to NZTR be running 5th on the premiership and with an amazing strike rate to boot.
Terri must be beating owners off with a stick, or should that read beating NZTR with a stick for destroying South Island racing?
Plaudits to Terri and a sack of manure to NZTR, and to CJC for their lack of support and foresight re racing in the southern climes.
Go Terri, you bloody legend.
IMO and just saying.

Bimbo reacted to sunlineboy in 'oo writes these Form Guides, eh?
I mentioned that I was doing content for Ladbrokes, Neds, and TAB.
Well, I'm no longer working for them as they want to go 100% AI with their content/form guides etc. So... enjoy that 🙃

Such things have had their day. It’s 2026. Get yourself a smartphone.

Bimbo reacted to Palliser in Pip Morris calling
My god, just been watching a few today. She's having a mare with accuracy, and sounds bloody terrible.
