Pak Star

Only managed to catch your one while watching from a phone during a lawn mowing break but appeared to be stuck back the inside on a slow tempo?

I would describe stupidity as "parting ways with your hard earned based on a random comment". And then assuming comments of any form are directly linked to a runners chances just doubles down on that stupidity imo. I reckon most would be surprised at how much more success they would have by not reading them at all.

The horse is literally named after a move performed by the 1960s ABS captain, hence the comment. You whinge when you think AI takes over the comments. And now you whinge when a human makes a lighthearted pun in the comments. You're worse than a 2003 Wallabies captain.

I thought we both went broke following this one?

Bugger wasnt punting much today as too many 2yo and 3yo races for me but had Sorghatani last start when it was scratched on race morning. Missed today.

Entain cant save this lot. The same problems that got them to the point of needing a sugar daddy are all still prominent today. They took Entains money and have fixed bugger all.

Also 3 warnings at Wanganui for striking the flank - Pinn, Barnes & Myers

Same agent as Gryllsy isnt it? Maybe a bit of envy at the success Craigs having..?

Having yourself a day there boss

Nice work

Opened at 4 on Wednesday. Think the TAB took a good beating with that one. Halved its price.

Who do they think they are? For that money you could've got into Wanganui pre-Christmas!

Seems to me that a lot of that "great money" was jammed into age group 2-3yo racing too. Back of the envelope maths I have NZTR Group and Listed races totalling approx 36m in stakes a year. 21% of that premier race money is handed out on one single day. 15m is allocated to age group racing. 21m is allocated to the regular upper stakes races, some of which also gets contested by 3yo horses. disc: I didnt separate F vs C&G in the aged racing stakes pool. If you have a top 2-3 year old, and you dont foresee regular success into WFA levels as a 4+ year old, then your ability to cash in on sugar hits severely drops off in NZ and it stands to reason that most would be sold off after winning a derby, oaks etc

If it was Captain Kobe then the comments were talking about two different races and I think you misinterpreted them. The top comment was talking about Sundays race compared to the previous start and how it was a drop down in class which was true. The horse specific comment was talking about how he was previously too good for his rivals on Dec 18th (two starts back) but that this field was a step up in company from them which was also true.

The overseas numbers arent too hard to believe when you consider this: New Zealand’s amateur football league is attracting hundreds of millions in offshore betting | RNZ News Based on Leggys domestic NZTR figures on the previous page, the NZ amateur footballers in two seasons would have the equivalent punting revenue rinsed through their games as our racing sector does in a full year. We have a nice window of opportunity on Saturday and Sunday mornings to draw in the desperates looking for a punt.
