barryb 2,064 Report post Posted December 29, 2017 Good Luck today Ted, hes running the punters club at Taupo. I have been here since 10am to set up our gazebo and we are miles away compared to last yr. Biggest crowd I would have ever seen here in 10yrs of coming. If you have never been to this meeting put it on your must do list. jack 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s picked 3 of the first 4 winners on top and narrowly missed the first although he labeled the Quin .Hopefully his odds horse Battle Royal can win the Cup at12FF .

barryb 2,064 Report post Posted December 30, 2017 No shit sorry, $12 for every $10. Hopefully Ted will have some knowledge on crowd numbers. Would have to have been a record. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have to have been a record. You were right Barry, normally you quote the payout in terms of the amount invested. $12 back for $10 is ideal for all concerned. The main aim of punters clubs is to boost on course turnover and provide some entertainment for punters. hizzy 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdytdy 5,343 Report post Posted December 30, 2017 Terrific crowd there yesterday, the place was packed. With one race to go they had exceeded last year's turnover (don't know what they did in the finish). Beautiful day with marquees, gazebo's and plenty of activity. Some great racing with some very competitive finishes along with a couple of impressive winners in I Am Queen and Jasd both on debut.

Trump 2,741 Report post Posted December 30, 2017 Just goes to prove how important programming is. Put a race meeting on at a holiday destination "during the holiday period", promote it and get local business involved and the results will follow. napier 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
