handy that I can access the pdf form and the results though - so I can work out a bet through NZ TAB, bet on it overseas, and then use NZ TAB to check the result

mmmm not a great look that. Loved the directness and honesty pre race - looked like a total goose after it.

Yes think that will be a race I rewatch a few times. Winner looks very good as you say. Good luck with your bet - looks to me clearly in top 3 in that race. I'm wondering about inside being the place to be which may not be ideal...??

Pretty hot field that I thought - heaps of them with form through decent 2 and 3 yo races, and a few tough ones who have been running against open hdcp fields. So agree too short for me too - going to be a great watch

very nice result - made my day too

He's mine too Varro. Good analysis - I rated him $5. Tbf if it had been any track other than New Plymouth I would've been closer to your rating. I find it hard to bet big time there as the track always finds a way to make the punt difficult.

Gee you've got a good memory if you remember his average stay at Chelsea. I wouldn't trust Barton with my goldfish let alone a horse - terrible human being

Kerry's book was an eye opener. Plenty of pros got cleaned out gambling it all away

All great players - Kerry a personal fav with my Blues - did time for a bit of GBH but thankfully back hosting at Stamford Bridge now. Brazil a bit of a loose unit and enormous bloke now - interesting to listen to on Talk Sport though

They are very good right now - lets hope the boys can follow

Great to hear your view on the winner today before the race. And part of me agrees with your analysis of the NZ form and horses TAS has beaten. BUT ... I was there Couplands Mile day and irrespective of the field that was something special. AND based on your rating of the winner today you have to look at what TAS did and think he was pretty good in getting close from where he was fresh up ??

awesome day ! Should be a cracker tonight - enjoy

love that place when I get up there. Have one for me mate

Totally agree Pam. I love Riccarton - great track (talking dimensions and fairness for all etc ), setting (the views first 2 days GN looking out to the Alps were stunning) and the Members stand is pretty bloody good. But the catering isn't great often - Phar Lap Room seems to be same stuff every meeting with occasional one off dish. Downstairs a bit the same. Balmerino was ok last time I ate there but who has time to sit down for a few hours on raceday.... Wine list ordinary etc etc. It's not a disaster - just could be a bit better I would've thought. Prices pretty reasonable though

They did a great job on Jewels Day Pam - so yes think it is better than Riccarton catering wise.
