Swimming Goat vs Subic Bay match race series!
Make it happen NZGRA! Two dogs that have broken 7+ year old track records at our two biggest tracks. Both dogs on top of their game, would love to see it happen!
I see neither record has been acknowledged on the dogs website tho.

From what i have heard from a number of sources you are correct Scooby. The drums are beating that he needs to step up. Of course rumors are the life blood of racing but one third party told me earlier in the week that Moody's name has been mentioned as a possible replacement.
LOL. That's hilarious. No way will Moody ever be in charge of the Shiekh's horses. Especially being a trainer 'pro steroids' and with his recent cobalt history.

I don't understand why anyone would take Match result opposed to h2h in rugby league with the nz tab? All for 2-3 cents max. Eg the Warriors game tonight your getting 2c better for the Warriors and 5c for the Rabbitohs. Just doesn't seem worth the risk to me.

Any horse CWJ rides - has passport will travel - NZ's premier big race day rider - no brainer
Out of interest since you rate him so much how many premier winners has he ridden in the last year / 5 years? Be surprised if he's top 5 at least.

And to this day it's still going on not been able to access the TAB n Racing related websites, alas there's no page or details who to contact when one gets DNS website blocked so the buck starts and stops with those operating Tomizone in management n IT.
Perhaps it's time some of these charlatans who jump ship from very well paid "jobs for mates" who are damaging various people's livelihoods were made accountable for their gross incompetence and failures to provide services we pay them to provide.
Incidentally who are the bunnies that decide how websites are categorized through these providers?
As aside we have had it from a very reputable source these been many, many complaints made in regards to Tomizone and it's very poor performing services.
What about porn meomy ? Did that work for you? Fair enough any porn/gambling etc is blocked in a free wifi zone. Think you'll find it's the same at all McDonalds /burger kings etc as well. What's the big deal?

Just doing a bit of scouting around the Olympic odds and came across this game. I'm quite amazed at the odds set for this game and how stacked they are in the bookies favour. Obviously helpdesk is closed now so you cannot "quote others" and will only be open 30 minutes before kick off. I think whoever set these odds needs to do some explaining. Thoughts?

Shades of Wahid! How does Xtravagent win over Tavago (AJCDerby), Provocative (Qld Oaks) and Tarzino (VRC Derby) when he was a cream puff in Oz but won NZ G1's, the equivalent of Listed or possible G3 Oz races? Only in NZ! Politics and contacts are alive and well in NZ !! I hope he makes it to Oz but unfortunately, I suspect that he will get his arse kicked and make a mockery of the NZ Awards.
Really?? Provocative wins a rating 65 in NZ, a weak mid week race at Ipswich and wins the QLD oaks in what can be described as an average field at best.
Tavago wins a maiden in NZ, a G3, and the Aus derby on an off track paying $30+
Are you honestly saying you think it was a stitch up Xtravagant won the title over those 2 horses based on his 2 G1 wins in NZ by a combined 16 lengths, and beating the older and proven G1 horses. Personally I think your deluded if you think it's "shades of Wahid and politics and contacts" are the reason he won.

Well a few days into the " your not good enough"to receive any money rule. I wonder how much time some dogs have left before they disappeared because they haven't earnt anything. Good on you nzgra
Lol.... If that's your attitude towards slow dogs it's hardly nzgra's fault is it... They aren't a charity, if you consistently breed below average dogs then why on earth should you be rewarded?
Some of you guys need to take a long hard look at your attitude towards greyhound racing especially on a public forum. Just because your not receiving a $20 petrol voucher you think all these slow dogs are going to dis appear? No wonder the industry is farked with disgusting attitudes like some of you have on here.

What a load of old cobblers , 4th placing to $80 and 7th and 8th nothing and the world is coming to an end. Gary is going to be without a job and Corey without a house! Get a grip everyone and think of the bigger picture, as McMissile said if your wellbeing and participation depends on getting a voucher for running last it is time to find another vocation.
The only ones who really benefitted from the vouchers were the biggest players and if they cannot pay your wages without vouchers they are doing something very wrong .
If the sport is going down the gurgler it is more likely because of the pitiful attitudes displayed here not by the association.
No matter who has been running it for since day one the "experts" reckon they are plotting our downfall.
Can things be improved, yes. Are we getting there yes
Agreed. Well said.
The attitude of some in this thread is embarrassing to say the least.
I hope you've read your contract properly Gary, pull your head in lad. Stop acting like a 13 yr old teenager.

Used to be a big fan of the self serve terminals (SSTs) at the TAB, but not so much anymore.
Regularly now when I'm putting a final field bet on I get a notification saying that the odds have changed and displaying the new odds, but not placing the bet.
Previously they put the bet on and advised me of the change of odds, and I could then choose whether to keep or cancel the bet - that seemed to make good sense. But no obviously not!
Now I have to frig around trying to get the bet on at the new odds - and that's not just a matter of hitting submit again. Oh no, if you just hit submit, you get told once again that the odds have changed (in case you missed it the first time). You have to exit right out and start again. Incredibly frustrating and on several occasions when I'm placing a bet close to start time I've been shut out. Yes I know I shouldn't leave it so late, but they need to sort this out.
Anyone else finding this frustrating? Anyone on here from the TAB who can explain??
(and don't tell me it's because of live betting on sports, because surely you can distinguish between live betting options and normal fixed odds options)
If your odds change when your trying to place a bet you don't need to start again, just go back to the Runners tab at the top of screen and then click back into the amount one. Only takes 2-3 seconds. I personally prefer it than the bet accepting with the odds changed. Sometimes if something comes in 30 cents on betfair they often drop it $1. When your betting late sometimes it's too late to cancel.

Too many
McInerney is averaging just under that figure alone, and he's breeding a far far less quality dog than the majority of those coming in from Aus wouldn't you agree? I've been saying it for years he will be the trainer / farmer most likely to get greyhounds shut down in NZ.

Might pay to name the bitch? Probably a good idea to find the right stud dog whether natural or frozen rather than picking a natural one just because it's ' close and cheap '... You pay for what you get IMO. No point doing it on the cheap.

A mutual arrangement between the club and the TAB.
Any news on Artic Action Jape? I see in the stewards report he was referred to the vet for assessment but also no stand down imposed? Have they been learning a thing or two from the wanganui reports? ( sarcasm ).

You obviously support his tipping line then Tim?
Are you able to say how well he went?
Does he tip four horses per race?
If your so obsessed with him why don't you fork out a tenner or however much it is to ring it and find out! You are self admittedly a restricted punter and make $$ punting harness on the fixed odds )... Apparently anyway, your yet to accept a punting challenge and have never posted a tip pre race so you seem like a myth to me.
If someone wants to ring his tipping line at lunchtime because they don't want to sit around for 4 hours at night waiting for his tips pre race on trackside then who the hell is anyone to complain about it? Get a life!!

I see at Sandown last night they swabbed 39 dogs. Now wouldn't it be great to see the RIU actually step up and do something good for a change and try and catch some of the drug cheats rather than doing 5-6 swabs a meeting like they do at present. Gotta ask yourself sometimes if they really want to catch people or happy claiming the 3 codes are pretty much drug free!!

scooby, I believe this is a valid question. The race in question at Auckland, race 11 won by the 2nd reserve Subic Bay, trained by Lisa Ahern, gained a start after three dogs were scratched. No.1 Ritza Roman trainer Matt Roberts, and No.s 3 Thunderation and 9 (1st reserve) Wild Effective, both trained by Lisa Ahern. In the stipes report for the meeting it states that No.1 received a 10 day stand down but now mention of any reason or penalty for the scratching of Thunderation. The 9 dog is allowed to be withdrawn under the 100km rule without penalty. Yes this does not provide "proof" but certainly provides substance to many "questions".
SEDGEBROOK BABE, THUNDERATION, NERO and EFFECTIVE POWER jostled together soon after the start and lost momentum. EFFECTIVE POWER then shifted in a short distance further on and checked THUNDERATION which lost four lengths and went back to last. THUNDERATION was referred to the Vet for assessment at the Handlers request and found to have a torn toe quick.
Thunderation Rule 81.1 from 03 Jun 2016 to 07 Jun 2016

IDT it has much to do with whether the dogs sound or not
he's breaking rules and an investigation should be opened up into why this seems to happen with the same trainer
againn on Sunday again, the same trainer scratched two dogs to let subic bay in who went onto win the race.
14 minutes ago, alltheway!!! said:I'm not stirring. I'm asking questions. Its not the first time either scenario has happened either. I'm sure many people wonder why this happens a lot and without question scooby.
I'm sorry if my comments have caused trouble but I think situations like this need to be sorted and answered for
Sorry what was the question you asked in the first post I quoted from you? Doesn't look like a question to me, looks like an allegation...

Seemed to work for punters betting with betfair. Good pools yesterday , Aussies must have bet while watching. All the other Aussie bookies must have done well also.
Pity the tab are not competitive in any way, could increase stakes if this money was bet here.
But , if you are a punter, and getting 10%, 20% or more betting overseas, you would be a mug to stay betting here.
Betfair was insane for the jewels yesterday. How good would it be if the majority of nz meetings were like that! Some of the pro's made plenty by the looks. Massive go for Partyon!
