Well no one in miss management. Claude, I gather that you are some form of Troglodyte and must only exit the cave on rare occasions. There are plenty of places where one can purchase a Best Bets in my area. mooseman 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double R 260 Report post Posted July 13, 2017 Hi Mardy, Nothing to do with this weeks publication. I understand sometime in the future, the Best Bets will come out on a Friday and The Informant on a Thursday. Cheers. Robert.

Cubes 1,770 Report post Posted July 13, 2017 Cubes is on vacation again with Mrs Cubes and the ungrateful spawn . Went to Makarora today....obviously to see the mohua and the famous "Blue Pools" There were no Best Bets in town . As an aside there was no Trackside on Freeview either but we believe that is covered in another thread . In fairness there is only a DoC office open and Cubity is not sure they stock the magazine in general . But everyone was very friendly and we tipped them Cubemisters' runner @ Phar Lap tomorrow anyway and went on our merry way...

rdytdy 5,343 Report post Posted July 14, 2017 They have gone farkin mad. Four outlets in the whole of the Waikato which is basically the hub of racing. Two TABs in Hamilton, one TAB in Cambridge and one TAB in Tokoroa. Dumb and Dumber!! gubellini 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pottsie 56 Report post Posted July 14, 2017 Only 2 in Taranaki, both at New Plymouth, and on a Friday, no Thursday fields anymore. Looks like Informant will have paper monopoly but at extra cost to us. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardy 475 Report post Posted July 15, 2017 And it looks like in the South Island they are only stocking it in Canterbury and in Otago/Southland....and bugger the rest of the South.Whoever makes these decisions they obviously need their head reads.

barryb 2,064 Report post Posted July 26, 2017 Can you not use a computer to look up form? maybe a tablet? or a smart phone say?. Why would you be wasting $5 on buying a publication that doesn't have enough info in it to be useful anyway when compared to the internet.
