The problem occurs when they ask a question but they don't actually listen to the reply, as in their own head they're already asking the next question. Well that, and jut not being prepared/knowledgable.

I don't normally comment on the Trackside presenters, but that interview with the trainer of the Dunedin Guineas was a bit cringeworthy. Interviewer kept saying things like "what's it like to win a race like this?" Trainer kept saying "well I did win the same race last year". Virtually saying, "I'm not some country bumkin who has only won a maiden race before."

A professional punter once told me many years ago . Never back maidens , always be wary of first starters and always back the tighter assessed horses . I thought good advice 

must be quite a task calculating over 90 scores in each race John   appreciate the effort  

Oh dear Hoki blind leading the blind yet again The Don exposed wot he's all about and just a war monger -more concerned abt raking billions than saving lives Watch out for the couple weeks he returns wearing a suit , tail between his legs begging for help

Week 4 - Wingatui R7 (1 of 12) 6 lives lost in the first race on Loose Sally.  KK with a best bet on two of the more favoured runners to take an early lead.

Good safe start for the day by Max...I mean a $20 shot couldnt win fresh up, could it, really, i mean to say, not in a big field like that.. oh flock!

Trump and Vance show the world the US is not to be trusted. Disgusting behaviour from the Putin puppets…..😠 https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/28/politics/video/zelensky-trump-vance-russia-argument-oval-office-digvid

Wow I thought this was a thourougbred chat page, however whilst I too was sad to see the demise of the hill I am genuinely excited about next Saturday, if the weather plays its part it will be a day like no other.  Even today 4 rqces at Wingatui worth more than $150k and a great support card, I just wonder who made this possible, well it definitely wasn't a Warehouse sausage sizzle!!!.  I reckon despite the issues with some tracks and the over empathsis on centralisation,  we should enjoy the "ride" whilst it last, and that includes having some of Aussies leading trainers bringing horses to Ellerslie next weekend. As G Simon says "lets bring it on"

For those who follow the results during the day, below are the picks for the last race.   Posting these because final two results will be in delay and you might be interested to see what those in contention have in the final race.   NAME LAST RACE   Aaron 1/12   Al Feilding 1/7   Alf 7/12   Winner69 7/12   Basil Brush 2/7   Black Kirrama 2/11   Blaird  10/11   Canterbury Man 10/12   Chestnut 7/12 BB Dogzstar 7/12 BB Floyd Pink 7/12 BB Foxmerts 3/11   Gubellini 8/10   Hall 7/12   Houlahan 1/12 BB Insider 2/8 BB Jack  3/5   Jayar 1/3 BB Joan 8/14   Kilcoyne 1/7 BB Kiwignome 10/12 BB Kloppite 2/7 BB Koriokaramea 3/10   Lucasduke 1/10   Majestic 10/15   Manfield 1/7   Maximus 5/8   Montydrum 3/10   Mr gee 3/10   Ohokaman 2/10   Pak Star 5/7   Pegasus 1/12   Pete Lane 2/12   Peter RS 10/11   Pheroz 5/7   Ponderosa 2/3   Pure Steel 1/10   Reacher 1/3   Richie 1/11   Say No More 2/7 BB Sayer 1/3 BB Scooby 7/12 BB Seakem 10/11   Seddon 1/12 BB High Sparrow 1/7   Von Cettes 7/10 BB      

Week 4 results - a few things to note: - between races 2 & 9 there are 8 races in the space of 70 minutes - updates during that time will be sparse and may not include next race selections. - with the short turnarounds I will be using win dividends from the TAB site soon after the race finishes.  Sometimes the dividends change a little after race close.  I will do a check later this evening to ensure I have picked up final dividends. - I have to head out before 6pm so results for the final two races will be posted later this evening - hopefully not too late.

Well that maybe correct the article started IT'S ALLEGED ""so take it with a grain of salt if you wish , what's undeniable is this Quote ,  April 14, 2024  The Avondale Jockey Club has submitted to Auckland Council to see Avondale Racecourse rezoned for housing. NZ Herald· 19 Mar, 2024  Plans to potentially turn a 100-year-old Auckland racecourse into thousands of new houses and apartments have spurred concerned residents to hold a community meeting next week. It comes as it has now been revealed a proposal to rezone the 35ha Avondale Racecourse into land suitable for apartments and terrace houses will be heard in October or November. Auckland Council values the racecourse at $77.5 million. However, rezoning the land for intensive housing could see its value shoot up to $300m, the Avondale Business Association says. And a bit extra , The 35-hectare site is owned by the Avondale Jockey Club, but racing will end at the venue in July 2026 and the land then sold off. New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing (NZTR) is going through a transfer process for the racecourse with the Avondale Jockey Club, and it will be NZTR that receives the proceeds of this sale.19 Feb 2025
