Well this definitely was one. They agreed to reload it.

Just rang them and bonus bet being refunded. Not really good enough though.

Does anyone know what happens if you use a bonus bet on a horse that is subsequently scratched. I used one on Seamsew on Saturday and it was late scratched. I didn't get my bonus bet back. I can't see anything special in the terms and conditions about this. Have emailed TAB helpdesk twice but no reply.

They've actually put a Chautauqua commentary over this race for a bit of fun.

Pretty sickening story. She's a brave woman. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/erin-leightons-16-year-battle-for-justice-against-convicted-fraudster-sex-offender-paul-bennett/IQEVBLW5WVGHDJCGVU25LSLYPI/

I'm quite capable of picking crap on my own 😄

I don't know how I squeaked home there. Appalling day.

Night racing killed the club. It was a prosperous, thriving entity before then. I remember Avondale Cup Day being one of the highlights of the season. Up in the Concorde room with a super view of the track. Crying shame really.

I'll look at running a Cup Week comp.

I didn't say I wanted it to happen. Luxon has said he's a pragmatist. Pragmatically speaking getting Peters into the coalition and treating him with kid gloves is a bit of future proofing in case they need him in 2026.

I'm picking they're going to need him. We'll see.

I think bringing Peters in regardless of the outcome is actually smart politics.

What a match. What defence from the ABs. I'd fallen out of love with the team but that was one of the best efforts I've seen from a team that everyone, including me, wrote off.

The Greens are batshit crazy. So funny seeing all the 'experts' who called the whole thing wrong.

You might want to be careful posting anything like this today. Stupid law but that's what it is.

Is this the end? "NZTR has tried, without success, to engage meaningfully with the Avondale Jockey Club on track management and track safety issues following the abandonment of the Club's meeting on 6 September 2023. In the circumstances, NZTR advises that no further trial meetings will be held at Avondale, and that it will request TAB NZ to revoke the allocation of race dates to the Avondale Jockey Club for the current season, until such time as it is satisfied regarding the Club's track management regime and the safety of its track for racing and trialling. NZTR is currently working with the Northern Programming Chair and Club's to look at alternate venues for the affected trials and race meetings. These will be advised shortly subject to obtaining TAB NZ's agreement to changes to venues for racemeetings."

Don't think I'm still alive.

I'll leave it to you and Moz mate.

I'll leave it to you mate. Well done.
