Mine is now at $1.70 and I need it to lengthen to $1.90 for the anticipated last leg failure and a few more cents in the kitty 🙂

No hang on... I assumed it was the last 5 races and so is working out better than planned. I better go check what i really have running for the next 3 races 🙂

Too wet to do the lawns now ...

Shhhh Maxie ! keep it down! My Bet365 account is doing nicely with 0-0 draws, and hopefully at least one more before the end.

Hesi has to be able understand comments … single syllables only, I got it! 😉

And I found a solution to watching Trackside and betting at the same time, if no longer having Sky… The NZRacing site (loveracing.co.nz) that had a problem with watching and switching to a betting site, without it logging you off, now has a separate iPad app that allows you to stream to the TV and switch to other apps while it stays running.

I gave up watching the evening news and reading NZ newspapers (paper or digital) a while back. There are a few overseas media sites that actually report on news (that affects the world and not what some pop star wore the day before) that I read instead. The local media used to be independent and had "investigative" reporters, but that changed when the government funding model changed to require them to "toe the line" on the government's current woke views on the world. But we are not the "target demographic" anymore. An article must grab the attention and hold it for 10 seconds, before the user swipes to the next page. Reporters just troll the internet copying anything that seems interesting to them. These "reporters" must have views in line with current PC aims and targets while skills in journalism is not really a priority. So no, you are right, this type of story would not be found in today's New Zealand (or should that be Aotearoa) media.

I am still getting over my failed bet on Switzerland “not to score a goal” and then see Spain score a ridiculous own goal that could only happen in Women’s football. But I still think you could put a couple of sides in front of goal, give the entire team a ball each and they would still fail to get one in. But my bet still lost 😤

Jammo is right. Lets face it, anyone picking the trifecta in the first leg today probably is king for the day. That was a nice surprise. Once I did the maths after both hot favourites were scratched in the last leg. The secret to winning.. going outside to do the lawn while leg 6 was on…. thanks for the entertaining comp PJ.

R7 scratching replacement: 16 out, 6 in please PJ
