Looks like a good one in there for Max to get the money on .. Number 5 😁

What an event it is ! The Grand National. Akin to the Pamplona Running of the Bulls for non-stop unpredictable danger action. 

Both events running from tradition, and looking quite death defying for all the participants. Incredible stuff to see.

and Video footage of them both makes you hold your breath everytime, (possibly in anticipation of disaster) but to the Victor > the Spoils.  

tks for the heads-up on Aintree, KLB. Max is all over him now! Also putting $$ on Max Homa to win / Top5 the Masters.

Dont care how many trials he wins sorry...cruelty is cruelty he does not deserve any type of praise..to treat a horse like that is disgraceful...he could win 100 races I would never give him a horse to train...my opinion.

no one is going to disagree with you, RJBr. My point is that IMO curious inadvertently used words that made a link between the two facts ...

And I will add if anyone of the trainers I have used ever hit one of my horses that I knew about they would lose the horses immediately...this guy does not deserve a licence.

He no longer has a Licence RJB...and I think curious's post has been interpreted wrongly by yourself...he noted that he's won 2 trials at Foxton but followed it with the phrase 'all the same' which tends to draw a connection between the two activities (abuse/winning trials) when I dont think curious meant that at all.

Phew ! 
Nugget or Phearson.
Can't see either of those getting close.
But then I'm the guy who thought Chain of Lightning would run 13th of 13, and pay around $80.
They didn't pick me as Styx captain for my genius, they picked me as captain for my good looks and irresistible charm. 🙂
Watch out LB . . . I'm a-comin' for ya ! 😊
 

could you see Nugget getting close in the last 100 Howie?

LOL

We are still in a position to win this comp LB, an aspiration that disappeared after Round 3 of this latest round robin for the hapless Factory

What's going on here Howie Yowie ??  lol ... bit of a slap at a 'left field' opponent hahaha. HESI thought this also . but ended up down 5-0 against the Max Factory .

speaking of HESI and the Ripe Reapers they might be after a bit of retribution for that , so might be better if he stays in the lower half of the ladder and goes for 'President of Nz' status in the President's Cup.🏆

your STYX team contains some 'stars of the track' in Maizey , RR, Gordy and Smiler who look destined for victory in this Comp, so I might just join my esteemed factory comrades and go on a double figure odds bender this week . just see if that keeps the young Yowie Howie on the Minor premiership track ? or the road to Oblivion ? 😎🏇😉 best of luck old chap.

 

you tell 'em, LB...

It is an abbreviation or acronym

indeed, hence a redaction

We also allow people to write the name BOAY on here, and it does not automatically redact into some childish alternative like it does if you try to write the name Race Place on BOAY.  Is that the sort of free speech you were talking about.

isn't BOAY already a 'redaction'?

Colours big help as well

in particular colour contrasts.

Now Entain need to focus on improving their pre-race coverage with classy, knowledgeable, presentable presenters who speak decent English and know how to pronounce the horsies' names correctimundo. Do it the way the Ozzies to do and you won;t go far wrong.

WTF is Freeview?.

I have never watched anything on it ever & almost certainly never will if I haven't to date.

The cheapest sky package is $25 a month which includes Trackside, anyone betting whom can't afford that shouldn't be betting anyway.

Besides, its free on your Phone, Laptop, PC, bluetooth, HDMI & so on, surely.

 

well, Freeview certainly sounds like it would welcome porn for you Barry

The detail and clarity of the graphics is a big improvement. Great to see the pedigrees of the runners displayed as well as jockeys/trainers.
MM

wasn't passing judgment...simply said 'based on the promo video' (which explains the nature of the changes), including the refresh to the graphics.
Max looks forward to seeing the dazzlingly fast, efficient, relevant and accurate details flashing on our screens in due course. And of they are consistently fast, efficient, relevant and accurate, I won't care what colour combos they use.

Of course, the cynic in Max tends to think that anything announced via one M. Guerin on 1 April is likely to be a joke.

MM

not paranoid, but Max understands a thing or two about the subtleties of marketing, and if you cant see tangerine and blue in the Trackside graphics on this video you shoulda gone to Specsavers.
Even the frame of the vid goes from orange to blue to a combo of the two...
wonder how often we'll see (eg) that rotating horseshoe on our screens from now on.

A few screenshots attached.

MM

If the promo video is anything to go by, the 'refresh' of Trackside graphics uses Te Akau colours ...no surprises there.
Hopefully they will live yp to the promise of informing us all more quickly about more runners/jocks etc ...at present the placegetters/ divvies/margins/time is painfully slow.

wouldn't be surprised if she got $1.5M+ over there. She's only 6yo, great-granma was a Grp 1 winner (Olga's Pal) and new owners may want to recoup some of their outlay before breeding from her. Myer Stakes or something easier in the Spring? Just a thought.
