Guest Report post Posted April 13, 2017 With Easter Friday being a public holiday, I would have thought that the TAB would bring the odds out for the Addington Premier meeting on Saturday night. They have brought out 2 races which was done yesterday, but thought it would make sense to bring all of them out, so that people could have a go on Easter Friday seem that online betting was available for sports betting! Most races the odds are going to be light but there are a couple of races to invest on! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is feature races with the Trotting Stakes and the Easter Cup plus most of the other races are bigger stakes than usual. It is a feature meeeting and should attract good punting. Why would they not want to bring the odds out early to enable more money on"????????? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Sunrise 554 Report post Posted April 13, 2017 Maybe with 2 meetings tonight they don't want to distract punters with Saturday night FF odds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You profess to being a very successfully gambler, some on here put themselves in the firing line and confess pre race their tips/selections. Anything of value you have found for addington.?

My apologies, you have rambled on in numerous threads about your difficulties betting. OK fair point about putting our your tip however its not about that it was to try and identify if you were genuine. I picture you as one of those blokes who leaves his kids in his car, scraps up the 20 cent pieces out of his car, puts 2 bux a place on a 1.50 shot, and screams like your having a orgasm when you have won. Your real name I think is probably tolafaufaumoidillyafillywilly and live in mangers bridge, or papatoetoe one of the two. How close did I get?

Counter Punch 256 Report post Posted April 13, 2017 This meeting hasn't been a Premier meeting for a long time. Contentious over the past few years if I remember rightly because they held an amateur drivers race which always drew some discussion. Apparently the plan for 2018 however is to make the meeting a day meeting and transfer the NZ Derby, Fred Shaw Memorial Trotting Champs, NZ Trotting Derby and Welcome Stakes to the meeting to run alongside the Easter Cup. I like the idea. kilcoyne and Overcheck 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea. As do I. It'd be a return to what prevailed for many decades, when Easter Saturday was the strongest overall programme held at Addington each season. I never really understood why they ceded the day to the thoroughbreds, but reverting to historical norms seems like an experiment well worth trying.

I like the idea. I went out on Derby night and it seemed a bit flat, no excitement leading into one of the premier races of the season. Good on The Met for making the necessary changes for 2018, should be a much better event next year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Report post Posted April 13, 2017 The night was abit flat and most Premier nights tend to be nowadays as not enough people attending oncourse. The days of big crowds apart from Cup Day are a thing of the past. Some how we need to attract people oncourse again to engender atmosphere. Currently it is only the owners and trainers and a few regular punters. To attract newbies to the course they need to make it appealing. Sell packages to businesses where a good meal and drinks plus betting vouchers and a MC are a very reasonable price without making much of a profit on it. We need people talking to others about what a great experience and getting them coming for the same deal! If racing is not proactive in attracting owners and punters we will struggle into the future.

what a post 811 Report post Posted April 14, 2017 If they wanted atmosphere why not run one of their major meeting at banks peninsula. Problem at this time of year is the weather of course. People prefer attending green areas .Personally don't think transferring to a day meeting will attract any more. People at creatures of habit and routine. They have well established routines for their easter break. Addington is not attractive to attend as it does not provide good viewing. No stand before the winning post means I watch races on the tv if I'm there, so why bother going, may as well be at home.

The members stand gives great viewing in my humble opinion! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always make a point of going out on Show Day precisely because it's the one time they have a stand before the winning post. Being otherwise stuck in the members' stand isn't very appealing. It's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem though, isn't it? At current attendance numbers it makes no sense for Addington to put in another stand (even a small one), but if they don't then it's a stone-cold certainty that attendance numbers won't recover.

I went to a meeting last year at Addington and there were private functions everywhere including Spectators. There was a small room for the public with the other half split of that room closed off for the punting competition. 2 tote operators and two tv's to watch. No doubt I left before half the card was over. Just bad ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
