  2. Zabeel Classic & Soul Bar

    in Thoroughbred Cafe

    Posted

    One owner "jumped" the fence according to Rodley and the other had a crack at Te Akau, notice he was tweeting about how happy he was that The Might Spar (a $430k buy) got beat by Lum Reek at Rotorua.

    Has he got a major issue with Te Akau or something ? Did he go to HQ after Soul Bar ...if he was there of course ..

    Oatham needs to be held to account.

    Too many indiscretions on his watch.

    Seems to get a free run.

    Agree Thief should never have ridden , punters should have been refunded his ride and Son Of Thunder.

    Danielle's interview straight after the race gave the game away, 

    What do you do ??

    O yeah the poor owner pays.

    Hope they get reimbursed more than the $150 fee.

    Come on WellingtonRC / NZTR , do the right thing ffs.

    Can't wait for Coppins column in the Raceform next week.

    Tell us what you really think Desi.

    I would’ve thought threatening another person with physical violence would be a “Lowlife” type thing as you’ve mentioned Colin but you’ve conveniently chosen to ignore that fact as it doesn’t suit your narrative 😉

    Tell us the story again about the ticket you found in the self service machine .

    I love that one .

    Worth $1000s wasn't it.

    How did that all play out again ??

  17. BGP punters club 😲

    Nobody is disputing that PF4 but this whole punters club was pretty poorly run considering they had almost 300k involved. Luke, at the conclusion, noted a 90% return to all stakeholders whish is slightly misleading. A 90 % return would normally be based on 90% plus the return of the original capital. Not 90% of the original capital 

    For the love of Mary .....

    I can produce factual data which shows a direct correlation between field size and betting numbers. There is also one that shows the differences between betting in distance versus sprint races. So I'm not looking at this from any other angle apart from what could happen in the future. If you know that these are direct correlations, then shouldn't we make sure that in the event  of the stars aligning, then at the very least, we can provide what they was as customers?

    As to the field numbers and numbers of horses, if I said to you that I knew how to provide 8 races a week worth $100,000 races each with eight $1m races through the year with a correct pattern of races, would we get more owners for horses? Where is the tipping point when there are too few horses? That's the answer to the successful execution of the puzzle. So I agree, at the moment we are getting further into the shit and this needs to be changed. The problem is, have we got the right people to make this change in time? The animal rights lobby is improving its message politically. The racing industry is not.

    Berri Berri Berri , admire your enthusiasm.

    These betting figures that suggest 2400m 24 horse fields will increase betting ... UK maybe but not here I fear.

    Not being rude but we don't have the jockey firepower to field 20-24 runners over a trip , unless the fields are stacked with Mudhoos, Malloos, Gundowrys, Chews.Jogoos, Bohoruns etc.

    Our best jockeys go AWOL over winter , and so they should.

    I for one are rapt the synthetic is doing it's job.

    An old fogie but I'm loving the racing there.

    Watching and betting.

    Hoping it continues.

    Chris has a valid point re foal numbers,

    Finally , I don't think the stakes rise to $12k is in any way adequate.

    Just saw this - a very gpod idea

    Familiar voices will ring out for the last time on Thursday night.

    Recent regular caller Justin Evans has stepped aside to allow a line-up of former Forbury Park commentators to say goodbye to the track.

    Jason Teaz, Kevin Payne and Craig Rail will grace the commentator’s box.

    The TAB is also testing technology to enable Tom Wood to be able to commentate a race from Hong Kong.

    Hopefully Dave McDonald gets a run too

    Their job description is "race caller", not "tipster". All commentators make it sound as if they know what they're talking about, after all they talk for a living, but I've yet to see one, and I can go back over half a century, that was any better as a tipster than your average moderately well informed race goer ... and most are a lot worse!

    The bottom line is that if you're reliant on the commentators tips for your betting advice, you're in big trouble!

    Tend to disagree here, think George Simon is head above all others when it comes to calling and tipping.
