And what brilliant Entain/TAB mind thought removing all reference to place divies was a good idea

I get your point, but you say all business needs income and I fully agree, but that's the problem. This industry doesn't and never has generated income, it's continually relied on someone or something to dig them out of the crap and buy them some more time to do nothing about it. Why ? .. because your biggest resource being quality people has never emerged, momentum is non existent and when the money runs out and it will, well before the 5 years we will be in a bigger hole.
Unless you get some quality people across the Country. Just look at Ellerslie as one example.

Why do you think Money is the answer or catalyst for NZ racing to sort their act out. It's about people and I can honestly say I have seen no one that inspires me.

Am sure trainers and owners pissed off that when they win a race Trackside instead of giving them a moment of glory switch over some hick dog meeting in Aussie.. enough is enough .Rise up owners and give these money money  pricks the message.

I see Mick G seems to suggest Merlin is Barry Purdons first millionaire horse.  He seems to have forgotten about Holmes DG or Chokin.   Also there seems to be some confusion as to whether HRNZ put any money into the slot races.  Greg O Connor says they didn’t but I thought I remember them putting some amount in so as to get the stake to $1m

Couldn't shake this Covid bug in time 😆 gunna try an drown it with alcohol....

Racing certainly has been at saturation point for many years now, trying to stretch the punting dollar further, but many of us have a limit, mainly local product, for me, occasionally a bet on  big meets in Australia, hard enough keeping up with the local form, let alone bothering with a bet in timbuktu or there other, so it's a no from me John, those meetings a dead loss in my opinion. 

Thanks for the compliment Fiery, much appreciated.
I'm sure these races are of interest to people who live there but Mandurah dogs or Townsvilles, not sure if anyone will be spending on them, will you Fiery ?

On a quiet Sunday racing and betting at Addington do we really need a choice of 45 meetings ? (including Korea/Japan?/usa?/every Aus state.) just asking .... am only right bout 50%of time😂

I think the result  of the million dollar race will include Natalie and Mark. How could dont stop and self A. be denied. great race .cant wait .its only 3:30 and  3 cans down    lol.

On supposedly a major night for Harness Racing fu.....n greyhounds and their promotion teams Stothard,Rosanoski  and Morris have taken over. Well how do the Harness fans fight back. Simple don't bet on dogs thereby your not supporting the budgets.
 Will be sky sport rugby for me tonight and I'll watch the Harness on Hrnz later on. Sad state of affairs for horse lovers!
10 to 5 and not even the Whale has surfaced.  Probably some bugger dropped some plastic in the ocean and it's got into his blowhole.
 
 

yes the Queenslander Speak The Truth is up against it from that barrier out wide.
There's a young fella smoking through from the second row who is the best in the Business. has won a few of these Big goes in his time 😆
Mark will be coming at them late with both 'OscarB' in the trot , and 'Self Assured' in the GrinsRace from their second row positions. Won't worry Mark drawn there , as do no work early and both are straight into the running line , with out even trying . 
so the Oscar Bonavena - Self Assured double is currently $120-1. 💰 excellent odds for the champion trainer/driver ? so have whacked a tenner on that. (and are at $5.65 for the place double so put a small cover on that too)

Entain will set up "mirror men" (stock answer "they will look into it") also dont be a doubter Chicken Aussie/Gallop man,a lot of comments and suggestions are read by influential people and changes often made from the cafe.

Debbie might head the Yank and others off.
But, its an auction and its only worth what somebodys prepared to pay for it.
Given most champion mares are relative  failures as broodmares  todays outcome will be fascinating IMO

Odd that place odds ain't being displayed, odd that presenters are only stating win odds, a bit of fine tuning and it may well be all good, if it's good enough to show win odds then good enough to show, place one's or don't bother at all with either.

thanks Iraklis mate. Don't Stop Dreaming and Just Believe look the two to me from the draws.

40 minute intervals for Ascot Park yet only 2 NZ meetings.

J Grimson mare from NZ I’llHaveabubble got destroyed last night by another NZ mare in Manhattan 
 
Manhattan burned early but was still to good pacing away in bold style in fast time……

I agree. Why can't they have New Zealand meetings first instead of having to scroll through a bunch of complete shit to get to what you want. I want it on the first page when I click racing. The sooner they get rid of this website and put something decent in its place the better.

Best drop from the North, even get it down here in the South
