  1. What would be the running tally though for BGP v TAB? Dont feel like BGP have won a heap previosuly? Maybe even a blowout along the way?
  2. Any idea how much a Remuneration 'Band 4' would pay?
  3. Whilst i don't disagree with you comment in general, its just frustrating that the decision is taken out of the trainers/owners hands by the lack of a decent program for the young horses.
  4. this is the debate myself and a few of my friends are having at present. Had a 2yo ready to go, trials were cancelled which meant we couldn't race her before cup week. So went from having a potential starter, who now had to be sent to the paddock for a spell as the next suitable race in the SI isn't till the end of January. Then we get into the thought we should just abandon SI racing and get a NI runner, but then realise if we cant be on track to watch it, might as well go the full distance and get one in Aussie.
  5. This is my biggest pet peeve and why I did not renew my membership. They rest on Cup day too much and couldn't give a toss about any other day of the year. I'm late 30's with children and race a few nags (probably the last time as well) with a few other mates in similar age group and children. Kids hate coming to the races with us because there is nothing for them to do whatsoever, has anyone at Riccarton thought about investing in a bouncy castle, or I'm sure within the industry contacts they could wrangle up some pony rides or something to put on to at least give the kids something to do? Rangiora Harness know how to do it right, my kids will jump at the chance to go (even though I have zero interest in harness) every time as they put activities on, pony rides, face painting, kids zones, even a kids tote where they win lollies if there horse wins/places, hell occasionally out of the blue they will ask if there is any harness racing on today during a weekend. My earliest memories of racing were as a kid going to the Hawera races on easter, they put on a easter breakfast, run a kids tote where you won easter eggs, it honestly planted the seed for me as I look back with some fond memories, whereas my kids look at the races as a boring miserable afternoon with zero atmosphere, half the time they are not even interested even if I have a runner. Hopefully this is the kick in the pants Riccarton need to reevaluate the entire running of events year round, however sadly I dont hold much hope.
  6. Shit situation all round, hopefully the people on the coal face didn't cop all the abuse from pissed up and pissed off punters, while those high up retreated to there ivory towers.... Having been a member (although did not renew this season for a few reasons) and seeing the club financial reports over the years, so much of it is based off this Saturday, its got to be a pretty bleak outlook when they need to refund ticket purchasers, or possibly lose patronage for the coming years and tarnish the day completely.
  7. Even funnier they are trying to charge $25 fee for Wednesdays synthetic meeting.
  8. Was fuming about that myself. I had a runner in R4 and thought that perhaps we would get some mounting yard coverage and build into the race, but nope, as you say, replay of the randwick preview shoved down our throats. Starting to wonder why I bother having horses in NZ, when it even appears those in charge cant be bothered to properly cover and promote NZ racing.
  9. Been waiting to watch the replay as was watching live after a few beers so maybe I missed something, loveracing are seemingly not going to upload it due to obvious reasons. To me, that looked like a terrible overly aggressive ride from a top rider? Got blocked for the initial run on the bend, and then got caught in traffic on the home straight and decided best way out was to play dodgems to try make running room into gaps that didn't exist? As I say, would prefer to have a replay before voicing anything, but anyone else think the same on initial live viewing? I do hope I'm out of line and incorrect.
  10. Yip thanks, was just the way that the bet slip showed the sections that had me second guessing and thinking I was missing something obvious.
  11. thanks, so am I correct that if the 1 runs second and the 2/3/4/5/6 wins, I still collect on that?
  12. On this wonderful betting platform the NZ TAB operates, how do I place a bet for a banker quinella? Do I select the horse that is my banker and click the 1st/2nd boxes, and then the other runners as position 2 like in the attached image? Banker with 5 others should cost $5 for a $1 unit bet, so the cost seem right, just the way it reads on the betslip seems off?
  13. TAB topped everyone back up to break even so no winners or losers.
