  1. Thanks
    We're Doomed got a reaction from Hi Ho Silver in Abandoned meetings   
    Certainly a precedent set after the stewards report mentions slips in several races at Ellerslie and various comments from jockeys. I wonder how many other meetings would have continued in those circumstance. I wonder if Reefton would have carried on with that number of comments from jockeys.

    Of course there will be, but for safety's sake the correct decision was made.
    Maybe Work Safe NZ should look into the safty protocol of NZ racing, because I think that it was carried out to the "tee" at Hastings and Trentham but not Ellerslie.
    What do others think?
    Hastings ✔️
    Trentham ✔️
    Ellerslie ❌

    Only one raceday over a five day period from this Thurs to next Monday. Only two racedays from 28th Jan to 5 Feb, a spell of nine days with two race days. Mid summer. Quite bizarre really.
    14 days without a meeting in Canty. Surely not all Canty trainers are at Karaka? Don't appear to be based on results so far anyhow. You would have thought they could have fitted in a low key meeting at Timaru or Ashburton this coming Thurs or Friday.

    It's all about the Party now, the event even dragged in Monty Beecham.and Israel Dagg who tipped out Legarto pre race. He punted the All Blacks to beat South Africa and somehow those dead certs lost as well. The New stopper 😆

    Sounds like punting might not really be the game for you. Have you tried lotto?

    One rule for Ellerslie and another for the rest of the country!

    It’s been that way ever since “the industry” bailed them out of the 20 million debt on the public stand all those years ago.
    One slip elsewhere and the meeting would have been gone (Trentham on Saturday) yet at least three slips were officially reported and the jockeys twice officially voiced concern.

    1. Well done MG for reporting this and making it public. He has been a huge fan of the new developments at Ellerslie but like any good journalist he's being objective.
    2. What a crock of crap from Wilcox and the jockeys. That track was unsafe and again highlights the double standards in the industry in northern NZ.

    We can afford million dollar races but can;t afford to subsidise wages on a public holiday.

    We're Doomed reacted to Peter Harrop in BGP lose a million bucks   
    BGP did a great job with the punting IMO. There were a number of close calls that would have resulted in a profit on the day. If you're a serious punter, the number one objective is to secure overs by getting a price above what it should be paying. BGP, through some early bets, certainly did that. From there it's a matter of luck in the running and the race pattern. Sometimes it's just not your day, through no fault of your own. And it's made even more difficult through a small card of races. 
    They've lost last 2 years, but from memory I think they've had great years before that. I look forward to seeing the selections of those complaining, pre-meeting not post-meeting, next year. Lol.

    I was there, Yes its great to win but how often are we successful punters. Its a days entertainment and you were returned 50% of your investment., thats not all bad.  There was a fantastic cross section of the the public in the room, young, old male and female and looked like they were all enjoying the day. Good on the BGP lads for promoting our industry and perhaps bringing lots of new blood to the game.
    Lets give them some credit for all the effort that went into an enjoyable day.
