Bruce M 143 Report post Posted February 26, 2018 Back to the topic at hand. We are lucky in Otago that the ODT has at least one and usually two local racing articles each day thanks to Matt Smith previously and Jonny Turner now. From today's ODT: "There were six win bets of $10,000 on yesterday's racing and three from $5000 to $9000. All the investments were down the drain except a $10,000 bet on Franco June,the winner of Race 4. The TAB could not confirm whether the big bets were from the same punter or different bettors or where the bets were placed. A spokesman from the TAB confirmed the bets were placed on a TAB account rather than at the track" Apart from that there were several $1000 bets on horses paying $30 or more..... all on a bog grass track Any betting agency in the world is going to encourage a bettor like that On a completely different note the ODT this morning told us that Sarah Palin is in foal to Bacardi Lindy...as she's a half sister to Dark Horse that foal will have some value.I suspect we might see it racing for the Griffin Syndicate? And on yet another completely different note I loved Jason's seagull commemts.Waikouaiti iracecourse s a haven for them. I was there ten years or so ago when the massed flocks were soaring overhead...I looked up (slightly mouth open as it turned out) and the most almighty deposit dropped right into my mouth.Needless to say those with me thought it was hilarious but I was less amused.

Betfair, not great at all for NZ harness for decent amounts! Bowlers? Don’t go to bowling clubs or 10 pin!!! Corps? Sounds painful and no idea what the hell it is ? Corps and bowlers never been mentioned on here before as far as I am aware! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce, so if these bets are legitimate and they are prepared to pay out 100k for a 1k wager then why on earth are they so damned conservative with certain other punters in NZ? Maybe they are softening up and prepared to allow punters to actually take up the odds that the Bookies are offering! Wouldnt think so and if these bets are ,egotimate then I would guarantee that they were from known losing punters from what I have been told!

Thanks for those updates Bruce,ODT has always had a reasonable racing page. It would be a long time since Peter Davis drove 3 winners in a day. Well done to him and Margo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, stop repeating your same old dribble. We get it Wayne , pity you cant. Your restricted, its their call. As you keep telling us they let losing accounts on for large amounts but restrict big SD's like you to as little as possible. Try ringing them up and asking for higher amounts cos your current strategy on here isnt working BackPoonDrinkGoon 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterEd 328 Report post Posted February 26, 2018 19 hours ago, Bruce M said: It seems that in virtually every race at Waikouaiti this weekend someone has had a $5000 to $10,000 bet.Some of them have been on horses which are quite unused to carrying such responsibility eg Dying to Meet You and Holdontoyaspurs. There has to be a story here...these are not normal and rational bets. Losing punter with too much money to spend. Dream result for the TAB. The other dream result would be restricting Brodie and getting a good laugh on his posts here! Fartoomuch 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done to him and Margo At least a decade and a half ago I reckon. He has had a good innings. Numerous doubles including on consecutive days at Forbury and Nelson. Even a four in a day from memory. I first noticed him when he was junior driver and won on consecutive nights at Canty Park with the same horse up from Southland.
