  1. What happened with carding a 2700m mobile for maidens for pacers , it happened each meeting a few years back I remember.
  2. Again we start trotters on the bend for tomorrows feature trot. Good luck and safe trips for all cause ya gonna need it.
  3. Jack's Legend , bold run opened the first quarter in 26 from 7 hole ,finished in photo for 3rd , race won in 1:48.2
  4. Running later at the Meadowlands today, Jack's Legend is in the next.
  5. Magic Indy Eyre standing in Rangiora this season. Natural service. Suits both Pacing and Trotting breeds, Globe Derby line outcrops.
  6. Massive effort by the winner " Mighty Looee" , skipped away , losing initial ground and then ran sub 1:56 (approx) for the last mile. They did mention when brought back from Aussie to have a go at the NZ Cup, and that just showed he is a real chance in it ( with a clean getaway)

    Oh NO TAB

    The TAB won't be getting rich on the Melbourne Cup and NZs big days when the queues get long at remaining outlets and no parking about .More money will go to Office Sweepstakes and when they can't see them on regular TV interest will wane . I give that about 5 years .

    Oh NO TAB

    The consensus is that the ones not making money will not be replaced iby the new machines.. Ie. If you don't use you will lose ( rural locations especially)

    Oh NO TAB

    The tab has ear-marked touch portals in some ( or all ) pubs and possibly workingmens clubs to be abolished. Can someone from HRNZ confirm how far this is going ( towards total online only services ? ) This is your service to the public and own part of . As Ashburton was on Monday I went to the Woolston Club to deposit funds but alas was closed. I know the older generation are not tech savvy and I know former retired trainers that enjoy their Saturday arvo at the pub placing bets and having table bets. You would be not serving them their enjoyment with abolishing the portals.
  10. I think the incentive to breed is OK, the terms of info and how it is going to run is a bit of a turn off. Think it would be more prudent to help the wastage ( give a horse a chance ) by subsidizing the breaking in costs. This comment has come in light of another fifteen horses seized by MPI from a breeder and the ones last year in Kaikoura. Not the ultimate solution but one that may help. With urban sprawl and the now high cost of land (grazing) breeders other than present life style block owners , trainers and stud farms the small breeder will disappear and long with it future owners and participants. Fair comment ??
  11. Some horses in Canterbury were not getting starts after nominating locally especially when as you mention travel costs to meeting like Nelson and Rangiora getting washed out. There was a plan to have these mid-week meetings in winter as usually this was the case last year.( horses missing out) . The lower funding has seen most of these Addington low mid-week meetings already canned for winter.
  12. The notification at the TAB was approximately at 12.44pm .
  13. Should not they invest/hire into a pump to shift water from affected areas like they do on 'Gold Rush' ?
  14. There was a pool of water around one of the bends on the all- weather track. Also was quite dark out there (as shown by photo)
  15. 100 trotting bred horses whole sale, , minus the withdrawn and passed in one's The money put forth to sales races for 4 events ( I gather ) kinda gives you a runners chance for a group race. I would think you have a 25% approx chance to run in them On the other hand you could end up lining up against a pacing bred that only wants to trot. That does lengthens the chance for a runner., might not be many though.
  16. There were a lot of deals done after the fall of hammer for passed in yearlings .
  17. Other week at Rangiora only 3 horses covered in them in a trot race. Top 4 should have at least top 6 favorites ( should be more in my opinion) paired up
  18. Power plays are not extended enough / not enough combos (especially when you like a double figure priced horse).
  19. $300k for one at Auckland preceded by a $270k one. Have only seen about a half of the lots so far. Will catch up with the latest in the morning.
  20. Could the TAB make an effort in making more choices available. Top 4 power plays only covered three horses in their combinations.. Anna' Boy, Racey Krusa and Jessper Fast.. 6 combos for both top 4 . Anna' s Boy to win with other two top 4. Bad enough with SENZ radio not covering the meeting. Harness is getting raw deal from both organisations.
  21. His case is still being formed and hearing should be on the horizon. Not sure what they are going to charge him with. Denied any knowledge of it originally I hear.
  22. Got on the Cup power play but with Homebush Lad 5th missed. As for the 4th race no power play available for those 2 together. Valynda $4 place and $3 top 4 was good money. I have noticed that outsiders are rarely in the power plays nor are well backed ones on the day. The TAB need to cover the outsiders in the power plays.
  23. Ehite Diamond Gold and Valynda in the 4th

    Licenses are reciprocal Nz/Aussie A suspension I believe covers both countries. How the States/Canadian licenses are treated I'm not sure.
