My first experience of watching NZ racing on Trackside 1 this afternoon. I thought the coverage of “Big Saturday” a little predictable and formulaic to be honest. It’s not unlike what Racing UK and Sky Sports Racing dish up with races back to back and little time for serious analysis. Watching the racing, I was struck by the quick-slow-quick pattern. They jump strong and race for 400m then the leader drops anchor in the middle of the race before a sprint off the home turn. It’s very different to how races are run in the UK or France. At Ellerslie, I thought IRISH LEGACY was impressive. SETHITO and OSTERIA showed themselves to be decent in the Bonecrusher. As for Trentham, THE PROPHET looks one to follow while I thought Opie Bosson rode a beautiful race on LADIES MAN to win the Mufhasa. The favourite did little wrong and she’s clearly decent - not sure McNab took it a notch easy 200m out and was caught napping by Opie. That’s probably harsh. Plenty of places today so we’ll see what happens at Te Aroha tomorrow.

I'm not completely sure but in a head to head I think one still needs to be in the first 3 maybe 4 or its a losing bet. But j could be wrong.

Others have answered for me, so if you still can't see what everyone else including myself can see I suggest you take some reading classes.

Thanks John.Great scoring again for today's Round.Appreciated by all contestants. I informed Scoobie a week ago that I will contribute $ 50 to the prize pool for this Xmas comp. Maybe some other contestants could consider a small donation to this ? -
Yes was exciting races with several coming from well back on the turn to win. Yes hospitality is great this time of the year - not so much after Xmas I suspect - Not sure how much profit is in it at the end of the day and how much they spend on the tote - very little I suspect. I would estimate that these people are only oncers though. The glory days are well and truely over. I remember when you had to be at the top floor of the stand to save your place. Same at Ellerslie in the old concrete public stand - only standing room for most people

Was at the Park last night. Nice crowd with two floors of "Christmas at Park" partiers, the Members and Owners area pretty packed and the other restaurants busy. Nightmare traffic is the norm for Aucklanders but the Park is pretty central- having a track south of the city might make it easier to get horses to the track but at the cost of all that hospitality and public attendance (virtually no Hamiltonians go to Cambridge or even know harness racing exists). And it was great racing last night with quite a few photo finishes and several marvelous finishing runs down the outside from the back. All in all a great night's racing.

"Definite improver here. Too many here superior. Has upside." The comment seems spot on to me with hindsight. It looks like it improved on its debut run, it did find too many here superior, and it looks to have upside. I for one welcome our AI overlords. -

Obama , President Obama granted clemency to 231 deserving individuals — the most individual acts of clemency granted in a single day by any president in this nation’s history. With today’s 153 commutations, the President has now commuted the sentences of 1,176 individuals, including 395 life sentences. The President also granted pardons to 78 individuals, bringing his total number of pardons to 148. Today’s acts of clemency — and the mercy the President has shown his 1,324 clemency recipients -
interesting race, the rider although never a winning prospect past the 300 did seem to have a look and was easing short of the line although entitled to get closer , head to heads in a Race in my opinion can bring out the worst in people and after adern had Grant Robertson in Charge people are suffering everywhere......we are talking about a close margin all the same so a conspiracy is unlikely....but at face value ? who knows🙄

I agree. If they've already paid out the losers they must pay out the winners regardless. The above is the official result. Sharrocks' horse will get paid out stake money for fifth. It's in their rules. 1.1 General Determination of Results (a) All racing bets shall be settled based on the official declaration of the result of the race as made by the relevant racing authority on the day of the race. -

Leadership , courage and strength that's Trump , not in office yet but already causing/demanding respect and putting fear into those who have abused their positions and treated the USA with total disrespect, the USA is not a dumping ground for their problems but poor left wing leadership has made that possible. A couple of conversations from a real leader and this is what happens , Security forces in Mexico have seized over a ton of fentanyl pills in two raids, making it the biggest seizure of synthetic drugs in the country's history. Authorities said that the amount of fentanyl they seized was equivalent to 20 million doses and would blow an economic dent to organized crime of an estimated $400 million (€380 million). The fentanyl was found at two locations in the municipality of A home. According to Mexican officials, security forces were able to find the opioids through intelligence work and tip-offs from the public. Canada . Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government will step up border enforcement in a “visible and muscular way,” according to a top Canadian official, as the nation tries to avoid tariffs from Donald Trump’s new administration The government will announce additional border resources “in the coming days or weeks,” which may include more drones, helicopters and staff . LeBlanc was one of a handful of Canadian officials who attended the dinner with Trump and Trudeau, where the two leaders discussed a wide range of issues, including movements of fentanyl and unauthorized migrants. .Trump said on social media on Saturday that Trudeau “has made a commitment to work with us” to impede drug trafficking. -
You must contact them again. There's much evidence in your favour, none in their favour.

So they don't believe they had the wrong result? that is serious if the NZTR has a different result. Surely all they have to do is review the race vision to confirm which is the correct result?

This is a serious fault. I’ve felt this before when my bet was an obvious winner. ..
