There are dozens every day. The TAB know that. I have spoken to them about this for 4 months now, and all they say is it will improve. That is rubbish because nothing has improved.

Because it was the rank outsider.

And once one picks up a couple of blatant errors, you have to wonder about all of the other data that we cannot easily check. It's a minefield. 

It's just not the comments that provide false advertising. The form stats also have errors everywhere. Race 5 at Greymouth today In Vegas .. quotes has the old " has won on wet and dry " .. then the stats quote 1 start on soft for nothing. That is despite it running 2nd two starts back. These errors are everywhere, and you could say it's actually fraudulent when people are spending their hard earned. They are being decieved.

CMN it will be interesting to see how Omakau numbers stack up given they had a massive crowd on course

Most comments are repetitive - l guess that's how AI works.  "Can handle it wet or dry" when the track has been a Good 4 all week. And it can do this and that "tellingly",  which, once again if talking about and unchanged track is irrelevant. Then it's not just a "top tier selection", it's always "for sure" or "without a doubt". False advertising in many cases 🤣 

Na.  Soft win yesterday on a Soft track.  Big strong filly.  Backing up next week then two weeks to the KM. The test will be how she handles the Ellerslie surface.  

No deduction for the late scratching in the telegraph, anyone explain how.

Already farcical including the repetitive Multiple Class rider comment when a horse is against almost the same opposition but going from Listed to G3 or R65 to R75 .   And for petes sake learn how to spell unlike this sort of regular illiteracy   Thret for sure in this. SACRED SATANO (3) has been G1 placed before.

If you exclude Indecision, no entrant has more than one selection currently in the top 20.   13 entrants with one selection each.

Still a few key leadup races to come but below are the top 20 in the current order of entry per the NZB site. Only 6 of these (in red font) were chosen in this comp, and one of those 6 (Indecision) is listed as a doubtful starter.

When Entain takes charge of NZTR .

Where to?  Where are all the ballotted horses in over districts? The issue is an outcome of poor programming of races and trials for the entire season. Add to that the fact that trainers are avoiding certain tracks e.g.  New Plymouth when it is a bog when it rains.

And since I posted this there were/are five meetings in 10 days... Whanganui - 69 horses... third biggest field of nine. New Plymouth - 40 horses ...field sizes 5,8,5,4,8,10 Tauherenikau - 7 races ... field sizes 6,7,7,11,10,8,5 At what point do the TAB step in and start reallocating meetings elsewhere in the country?
