If racing is going back onto the radio it is sad indictment on those that pulled the plug in the first place . If they were losing money then get people in who work hard to get new and improve existing revenue streams , but as per usual it was easier to just pull the plug than find solutions . 
They lost a lot of customers when they pulled racing off the radio and most won't return , bloody frustrating .
But hey , they still got paid .

You know it's been a rough day when your second-biggest collect is a refund for a late scratching. 77u out, 46u in.

More importantly though at this moment, didn't Trentham play well today?
The winners came from all over the place. 
It's about time you "knockers" woke up, take a lesson from me. Look left.

They been cheating for so many years and if and when they get caught the charges don't fit the crime. I stopped backing the theving pricks years ago when M Purdon got caught with Blue Magic in a horse and his big owner J Seaten committed sucide. That was it for me don't even watch them. Oh an Purdon got from memory 3mths. If this was the galloping code they be out for a long period of time.

I see Treaty of Paris is racing tomorrow at Tauranga (R6 No 17). This horse has gone out both starts an both times they were expecting it to go close. Gave Opie a headace when doing everything wrong to lose the race last start but I see it has been gelded so a good draw and maybe better manners might do the trick. My price of 15 and 4.5 might be a gold coin eachway.

We all have days like that mate...always tomorrow LOL.
 

Yes I manage to crawl back most of my spending today lol. I got a $20.00 mutli going with  Iffin Doubt Dance for a return of 1120. the cash back is only 135 so let it ride. If multi no good then been a great day with a small loss.

yes it did, seems to be one paced so 2400mtrs should suit with the pace on. We all done the drop a horse or miss seeing it in a race and it wins. I been backing One More Time, this horse owes me nothing but it sure been getting alot of it back. Today it is in the Railway and needs to start the race before so it can finish with them. I'm sure hoping it don't kick me up the backside and wins as I'm not backing it today for the first time. Love the racing game. 

Race 1 Sophisticardo. Gets back which is a little concern as there isn't a lot of pace but I'm sure Opie be a bit more forward and can run over the top of them in 33.
R4 Nest Egg. Tripped up by the wet track last start. has a great finish and relaxes in race in a even race.
R5 Skew Wiff - had a large place bet on this horse last week at 2.8 and just about won. Today I just watch and taken in multis. If jumps as good last week will be just off the pace and let down and be hard to beat.
R6 Magawa Bit rough but like the run before last.
R8 Charms Star - Not my choice, but a friend knows a owner who told him it would win last start and it missed the jump as fav and ran a shocker so give it one more chance for my quad.
R9 Campionessa. Now I might be off the mark here but opie has got down to 55kg to ride this and we all know when he wastes to ride that weight he usually wins. 8w and 2.8p is worth a few each way.
Well good luck all
 
 
 
 

I have considered opening an offshore account as the TAB site drives me mental and is a disgrace to the whole industry. The NZ TAB don't seem to give a shit. I'm sadly a loyalist to the NZ industry and feel if I take my money offshore then the industry misses out and that isn't so good for all that rely on stakes etc. One day maybe they will sort it and we be all happy but this site been a dog for a long time and only seems to be worst.

Maybe it is just me that gets so annoyed with this site as I don't see anyone on here making comments.
latley I select my bets and then for some reason the page disapears and asks me to refresh. Once I refresh all my selected bets disapear and I have to start all over again. The other day I took a number of multis and quads and some weren't showing in my pending bets page. I rang help desk an they confirmed bets were on.
I like to see how my bets are doing during the day as I take a number of small bets when I view the site refreshes and then goes back to the top of the page and I have to find where I was up to. Other times when I'm putting on a Quaddie for example and I'm putting on my slection for race 1 and go to race 2 it just goes out of the quaddie and as I keep going through the other legs I'm no longer taking a quaddie but single bets. Drives me nuts at times. $50 million doesn't seem to be enough to get a reliable site that works. 
I missed the interview with the minster of racing on Melbourne cup day. My mate who did see it, said the minster, said the new website was the worst thing to happen to racing.

So.....
Cubes meets an interior designer for a coffee and then she calls him up a month later and says he is the worst boyfriend ever and a terrible communicator and The Cubemeister didn't even know we were going out
So gonna name next horse either Worst Boyfriend or Psycho 
 

Thank you for the kind word, my friend.
The plan is an early 5-day look at the big races, a more detailed preview 48 hours out and a review as soon as I can after the races.
I'll be concentrating on the Group races with the most extensive analysis reserved for the Group 1 races.
Tomorrow will see the 5-day declarations for next Tuesday.

Just over a week to the start of my favourite five days racing of the year.
This thread is for any and all comments, thoughts, previews, reviews on the racing. Aussie, American and Japanese challengers set to make this a proper global racing event.
Hopefully it'll be live on Trackside for the insomniacs but I'll be putting up my usual previews and reviews and YouTube videos of the Group 1 races.
The running order has been changed a little this year.

Chilly Filly Never been slow away in her life
I remember the immortal words of Allan Thomas 10 years ago or so  - the seasoned QLD Commentator who knows far more than me
"Ahhh I see the Favourite has missed the kick again "
This Prompted to me run an analysis in my DB of thousands of QLD races at the time and surprise surprise the chance of a fav missing kick was double that than any other runner
My Sample was in the thousands and highly significant with a p < 0.001   . Must be just an illusion though
 
 
 

Why don't you guys get off your arse and promote racing yourselves in your area. It seems too easy to blame NZ Racing in general.
Why not have open days at race tracks inviting the general public to come along and watch the horses being trained. Have a sausage sizzle going to feed the people. 
I bet not many of the general public have seen horses being trained or even been to stables. Here's your chance to invite them along and experience what goes on behind the scene.  
Other businesses promote themselves, they don't rely on others to help them. They may even sponsor sports events and the like to get their name out there. 
And no I am not a trainer or even a owner, a past owner yes. So I won't be promoting racing i have other sporting interests which I am heavily involved in. 

Stopped in this morning. Looks like there working on the drainage.
