yeah right -there's no fat asians....

what you have to realize is the conditions of the special license dictate when you have to be off the premises not "The Big Boss Man and his henchmen".. while he may have needed a friendlier manner most customers act like they are nailed to the floor at closing time and can be extremely hard to move on...The fines to the licensee are considerable if local authority take exception to people remaining at the venue too long after the event as well as possible loss of license... 3 cheers for the fun police..

8.20 am and the fixed odds and Multis aren't open yet??? Not good enough TAB bet that pissed off a lot of harness folk looking to put on the wager before leaving home.. hope it hasn't crashed , Been working long shifts since Thursday and am having withdrawal symptoms

I'm going off memory but isn't that the race where Colin De Fillipi tried to get an edge and mistimed his sprint at the start of the race- horse ended up with his head under the mobile gate and went off stride?

From the days before percentage trifectas when they paid out on nearest combination if no one picked correctly i would guess...back when all trifectas were terminating..Not like nowadays when the betting pools are harvested for funds to do as they like.

Seriously? An $8000 race in Aussie ?

will grass form make any difference on that track?? looks pretty dry up there... beautiful day but up to 30 degrees expected..

Never seen so many Kiwi drivers determined to get to the front , seems everybody wanted to lead or trail.

time after time DD takes horses with little or no form and wins on them by knowing the ability of the drivers and horses around him,

so your suggesting everybody else is lying and Chris Cairns is innocent- lets see what comes out at the trial.

so be more creative, friends family, paid employees offer a percentage..I bet some others are doing this.lol

If he was a galloper he would have been the top weight, He certainley carried it...

I do multis- use the "any 2" option to have the same effect as "poker bets" and use percentage betting at times to reduce overall cost. I find i get better prices on many odds especially earllier in the day .

You do realize Ben Johson had been cheating for years yes?

The views of the owners of the 3 horses involved would be of interest. I have heard a number of times over the years owners concerns about whether trainers or drivers have used their horses efforts to better the finishing position of another stable runner. What was the possibility of Kincaslough winning if he had taken a trail and put Dexter 3 back on the rail and should John have even attempted it

While the problems with the website are now at the annoying stage rather than terminal surely enough people are back at work to get the thing working properly. The pressure must have reduced considerably this week as more people return to their sky connections and the workload on the "Watch and Bet" site eased. Am i wrong?? Thank you to those that pointed out the "Fast bet " feature at the bottom of the TAB website page enabling me to get my bets on regardless . Surely that option should have been publicised more unless TAB was worried about that getiing swamped or "targeted " too. Now if they can just get the "Next 5 to go" and " latest results" to update properly - or is it just me??

i bet on it - regularly as i do with the Purdon runners how often do we see Natalie/Mark/ 0r Tim one-two in the running. as long as the leader or parked horse is put into the finish let the best horse win as you say now and then they come undone .

Aussie trainer talks the talk and walks the walk- diffference between arrogance and self confidence is his results speak for themselves- all Paul Court does is come up with a string of excuses for Terror to Love failing to win anything of merit in Australia..the draw was against him or he was blocked for a run.. so does this mean Terror to Love is only a champion when he gets the right run?? the Mighty Quinn makes his own luck..

racing is hardly a contact sport and while I've seen a couple of local players who tackle/play like girls very few women will handle the hits put on the average premier player when being tackled or "cleaned out" of a ruck. BUT if she can handle the jandal good luck to her..

NZRU made that rule because of all the dickhead coaches playing "their best team " every week so little johhny pissed off back to the play station cos he wasn't gettintg a run..From what i see the amateur drivers are mainly a small group of owners,trainers and former juniors maybe who have a passion for the sport and want a competitive race.. If the HRNZ think this is going to make a large difference in participation or betting they are dreaming.. I wont bet on junior drivers or amateurs- too many variables caused by bad drives and inexperience., yes let them race but please keep them clear of pick 6s and quaddies.

Purdons never team drive- pass the Tui

Pass the question on to the Media and the TAB-I'm sure something will be done if it starts affecting turnover- who wants to bet on a track where the dogs don't get a fair start...especially if the overseas punters get a whiff of it....

Finally they have livestreaming for both channels....won't be putting Sky back on..
