What could possibly go wrong

Where will the throngs of racegoers go on raceday? https://wrlc.org.nz/cdo/trentham-racecourse-cdo?fbclid=IwAR2IUx7769YSP0v6P-EAdk1FYwu2fp_e7YJc-y7BfiW6VuBlmCdV5oIr15w

Is this the one that starts...."A man goes.."

Must be doing well ....$1500 bonus to all staff

Just proves that racing in NZ is poked. Last one out please turn off the lights

There was a Trentham trained horse that the stipes scratched on raceday due to its name....cant remember it tho....Think young Bentley trained it. Von smallhausen may recall it

A galloper a few years had to have its name changed after racing once..... original name was "La Biamajora"

Really liking Threetimesbetter in Race 3 today.....i priced it at $5s.....TAB are giving $18s

The good old days. Very hard to get a line on how Harry was going....you and your much better half were generally the first at the track each morning....worked Harry in the darkness so no one could put the stopwatch on him..... cunning very cunning. But you definitely got the rewards for your dedication and time and care.

Harry !!!

i think so too.....think i ve seen this pic many moons ago

Its a beustiful day here in Trentham....should be a scorcher of a day...around 24-25 degrees. Any moisture should dry out. 10 years to the day since ive been to any gallops meeting, and only been to Trentham once in those years and that was for a funeral. Lincoln King to win the Cup ?

Argggg pop-up ads....almost as bad as pop-under or delayed ads.....so 1990s.

Its only a rort if you arent in on it

I can see an issue... Imagine a race....couple of hundred metres to go and the leader is cruizing and is out in front by a few lenghts...the jockey is just sitting on it... not using hands and heels,nothing...just sitting...at this point it cant be beat, the others are struggling. The horse currently running in second is going to finish second......but......all the jockeys have bet on this runner.So the jockey on the leader pulls the whip and gives the horse a whipping to the finishing post.....Then gets disqualified ( but thats the plan )....The jocks collect and everyone has a huge laugh. My solution ( while def. not perfect ) would be to outlaw the use of the whip unless needed for safety. If a jock uses the whip they get fined the equivilent of all the payout money of the horse on the NZ TAB ( fixed odds and Tote ) Yup that could run to tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars as a fine. Can you tell im against using the whip at all ?

Hi racefans. Just had a phone call from one of my sisters....her friend is a resident of the retirement village at Trentham and has heard That Summerset ( village operators ) have purchased more land of the WRC. Has anyone here heard anything and confirm?. Where the retirement village is located the I presume tha only land available would be up the chute or possibly the old leger stand area

At least you can bet with them.Im restricted to win less than $5 with the blighters. They hate people who win

Totally agree that some people knew ....but it should never have been at 7s and should always have been the fav....who is doing trading at the TAB today?

and......they get the lollies and pay for Christmas past present and future. I hop e the TAB betting analyst ( Basil ??? ) looks into it. you just dont move from 7s staight into $2s

Someones mates are having a happy new year.....Something doesnt pass the sniff test on this. Opens at $7s.....way to long , then drops straight to $2 Seems a bit suspect to me

Thats what has buggered up my life........slow racehorses and fast women

I remember Guerin tipping out Auckland reactor @ $1.05.........it lost

Well he was trying today
