So Trump supporters are painted as unhinged Red neck gun touting misfits so why is it the Useless as tits on a Bull Democrat outfit never attract any of these madmen with their cache of weapons?in saying that if you were to spend 12 hours waiting to have a crack why would you have two black bags hanging on a fence in plain view and not have some serious camoflague at the very least let alone how someone could even get near a perimeter fence at his Golf course..dubious, everything about the US is fake news

Hi Monei. Good question. I just like using the tables for working out which runners did very well or poorly using the times and sectionals, and my subscribers like that point of difference. Using times and sectionals is not everyone’s cup of tea, but over the years I wouldn’t bother punting without them. Table 1 is in race order – self explanatory Table 2 In Distance order so you can compare times and sectionals run over the same distance e.g, 4 x 1200m races can be compared at Hastings Table 3 shows the average 200m sectionals run to the 600m from the start of the race. So you can see that the Tarzino was run at the fastest tempo all day ( 11.59), even faster than all the 1200m races Poetic Champion was run at 12.20 which was quite slow when compared to the other distances, so runners off pace had little chance of winning. Table 4 The last 600 in order tells you the time of the last 600. Handy to tell you at a glance which races came home fastest. Table 5 Tells you how fast each 200m was run for the whole race. Handy for working out speed ratings and which races were fast and slowly run. Table 6 Race time in order. Handy for seeing which races were run at quicker and slower times.

Well spotted JJ. The finish of Pinseeker was incredible to make up so much ground on the mighty Republican Party ( a 15 race winner & $362500 ) and given the same time was amazing. Pinseeker had a trial recently where I thought the last quarter in 25.8 was an error but what happened in the Hannon proved how much potential PinS has . With all the retirements lately ,great to see an emerging star. Superb placement by Trainer Johnny Cox is your answer above.(in my humble opinion ) -
The post was nothing to do with "female fluff", equity or presentation. Weird that you even took it there? It was about TV shows requiring experienced broadcasters if they want a professional product. Thats what Guy brings, and what very few of the existing bunch had previously brought.

NRL 360 works brilliantly with former great players and some journos without token female fluff. Peter Lester a real talent and supreme sailor who likewise doesn't need the perennial attention-seeker Street to hold his hand. Sorry day when it becomes all about equity and presentation, rather than content. JMO.

Maybe try running them later in the day when NZ punters are home from golf,work or kids Saturday morning sport and Aussie punters are awake. Running the Grand National Hurdle at 11.40am and then complaining that the turnover was only 60% of a flat race hours later that had twice as many starters is the height of stupidity surely?

Not everybody that tunes in is looking for the same thing as you. You must realise this, right?

Erin and Guy are doing well. They will grow into their roles. Both are a breath of fresh air in contrast to the career presenters who are past their use by date.

To be fair to Guy, I think thats precisely his role. All TV shows do it. Laura McGoldrick seems to be the main choice at the moment as the professional presenter who keeps the show moving for NRL and Rugby games. She sits on a panel with "experts at the sport" but her job is not necessarily to provide opinion on the subject matter just as I wouldnt expect Guy to be letting us know who bred the 1970 Winter Cup winner. Their job is to keep it all in check and running smoothly. For Sailing it is Toni Street who provides that role while sitting with Peter Lester and Peter Monotgomery etc. Guy is quite literally the Laura and Toni of Trackside. We bitched and moaned that Trackside was full of unprofessional no hopers in front of a camera... and they try sort it out and we still bitch and moan. Give the dude a chance (and a break), he will grow.

As far as tipping is concerned you'd be an absolute mug to follow anything they'd selected. The point is that they're tipping to generate turnover and 90% of punters actually are absolute mugs.

OK maestro let's see you in a TV studio in a live environment. I'll keep my thoughts about that to myself.

I reckon he will be a massive asset to Trackside in time. Rather see him on track than in the studio but I don't run Trackside. One thing I'd like to see dropped from his vocabulary is " gets The Job Done" Once or twice a day but not to wrap up every race. Please -
His credentials are as a highly competent broadcaster. He's also a big racing fan.
-
Jeez you're right about some people on here. What a pack of whingers! I think Guy's doing fine. I think Trackside need some credit for broadening the pool and introducing some different faces. There are a couple on there that really grind my gears but they are not part of the new intake.

I would give the guy a chance to learn first..before I passed an opinion....but hey everyone is entitled to their opinion...right. -
Just enquiring about his credentials. Racing is a specialised field. I'm guessing you wouldn't mind your local tyre-fitter taking out your tonsils?

Geez you guys are really hard to please...before they were rubbished left right and centre, and mostly rightly so, now they introduce some new faces the poor fella has been in the job two weeks and you are already sinking the slipper in, give him 6 months to get his feet under the table...I bet you were not an expert from the start either.
