Wreaked Hunter Cup and Night

Lloydy where have you been? They've been stuffing it up for years. Don't be so surprised. Next year the drivers in the Hunter Cup will have to run across the track jump in the carts and take off like the old car race starts. They're always forward thinking in at HRV.

Now that I would watch Gardenstar

Agree it's WRECKED ...how was that mug who cut the corner tonight and lost the race

Bigted that driver is not in the cartel. May have been different result otherwise, although correct decision made this time. In Victoria there appears to be different rules for certain individuals

have a flick through this lloydy

http://www.hrv.org.au/hrv/index.cfm/general/hrv-strategic-plan-2011/ it outlines how they will attempt to ruin the sport

more trotters + subsidise more international trotters + less standing starts, ???????? = profit

if you have time check out the credentials of the leaders and consultants hired to make these decisions on linkedin

Is the Hunter Cup going to be a standing start like the Shepparton Cup or a walk up start like the Hamilton Cup,  the Pure Steel & the Ouyen Cup? Does anybody know?

Generally when Chris Alford is moving forward they let them go irrespective of all the other runners

The Whole Card is nearly Full of 1.30 Shots
Huge F.kc up.
The $1 & $2 Punters have no hope of jagging a winner and going home with $20 more
Worst Marketing Move EVER

john anderson on RSN radio lies about smoken up missing last years hunter cup due to handicapping (pretty obvious gold ace was cleared to start as order came from the top)and then says no handicapping has brought the best horses -> where is terror to love, for a reason, beautide

robbie & gai waterhouse in todays paper said handicapper needs to stop being paranoid and actually give out big weights to horses that deserve it.

The greatest wins in the history of the race
2005 Elsu wins off 20m
2008 Blacks a Fake wins off 30m

great post uncleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I get shocked when I go to TAB's these days.....where are all the old codgers that spent all day there?
too tough on the pension or they've gone to the paceway in the sky?
my point is times have changed.....people have less patience and shorter attention spans
and there's wall to wall racing, delays are a pain in the arse, sometimes they need 4 or 5 SKY racing channels

I'm all for ditching stand starts and running shorter races, I'd go a step further and have maximum field size of 10
but I think the idea of colours that correspond with barrier numbers is ridiculous
too confusing.....for example you couldn't call the Dixon's the black and white army any more
yellow with the red Maltese cross were my favourite colours ever

The old codgers are now using Ipads and Iphones and PC's etc

research has shown thats not the case Joel and I quote.....

Sixty five per cent of men and 73% of women aged 65 years or more have never used the internet
to read or send emails.

only 8% of men and just 3% of women aged 65 years or more use the internet daily.
obviously a few old codgers have cottoned on to all the free porn

Did the researches ever ask if they have use the internet to place bets??
I can remember the old days when my parents had a cupboard of TAB cards and used to fill them all out on a Saturday morning and take them down to the TAB on a Saturday morning. Then came the phone account for my old man and now they both use their PC to place bets, tablet too.

well thank **** they found technology......those once a week punters with their 300 tickets are a pain in the arse!!!

I'm going for the dying off theory, it's simple maths......decades after the introduction of phone betting
there were plenty of old geezers in TAB's

either way it's by the by, it doesn't change my point that things have changed, it's young people we
need to take up punting.....they need to be catered for cos I still want a punt when I'm a old codger
which is getting closer by the day

You are an old codger VK

They need to start punting in schools imo ............. get the habits developed nice and early

I have all my own hair and teeth thank you very much.....why wait for school?
get them listening to races in the womb......it works I tell ya as my old girl was working
at a TAB when pregnant with me.......and thats a fact

Abettorpunt is a good Roughie terribly unluck last start.
Bad Draw but stand so may be a good draw.

Only 3 chances
Restrepo
Christian Me
Caribbean Blaster
Knock out Abettorpunt

FFA American Muscle
Devendale Pace Youranut
Trot Vulcan
Club Championship Ginger Bliss

Rest of Card Al Odds Ons Will be lucky to start no more than 1.20
Bling it on Cant Lose
Allback Stride
Lettuce Rock them
Maori Time

No Way My Expectations will Start Odds on, Lay of the Night

tactics in hunter cup are going to be amazing, if CM can settle in the first half before he makes his move i think he wins

american muscle, never again had every favour last time, villagem will need to be good but i thinks hes better than these
magical telf in the devondale
my high expectations was scary good last week
steam washed has been airborne but need very generous odds from back there, will get towed up by tara toplady though

bling it on wins
ABS wins due to the draw, if YM drew w on his back id be backing the upset
LRT will get beaten but will be run of the heats and will win the final as 2nd fav

Less than 2 hrs

Uncle
Have you changed numbers?
tried to sms u.
looking to get into some new horses with Tonkin seeing if u wanted to be in if they let us.
They are the best

Lloydy

Gee Bling It On can run a ridiculous half

Whyd yaya hand up, would of won if she parked him

Already sick of Hamilton, tipped horses in Sydney on August form

You can give the Team McCarthy rubbish a rest you sycophants

Team McCarthy & Butt's

There are worse bets you can have than Adam Cartright each way at better than 50/1

Team McCarthy stuffed again, we have a ripping final coming next week. A few with dazzling speed, whichever one draws to use the sprint lane will be horribly hard to beat

Baby Bling seriously started $1.30 in NSW....?  Wow that's really bad.

These feature nights are atrocious for backing faves on the tote due to the extremely severe levels of ramping.  Have had something like 5 odds on shots get beat in the first couple of hours.

Really like this next race, expect Scruffy Major or Steam Washed to be winning, astounded Ginger Bliss is fav off the back row.

How poor was that mares race at menangle, steam washed should have been up there winning instead if winning the next at melton

Plenty of $6 available, a nice gift that

***Breaking news*** HRV CEO John Anderson has granted All Black Stride a wildcard entry into the Derby, "Luke's informed me that he thinks he choked down in the heat but he needs another runner to ride shotgun, it was a common sense decision".

$1.50 My High Expectations please...  Yes it's a big chance but those are deeply terrible odds.

Blitzthemcalder is a must back here at this price

First and second outstanding there

Yep. My High did his usual few skips early but got down quickly tonight to begin remarkably well by his standards and make it game over early.  One of his more usual slow starts would have made for a very interesting race.

Blitzthem still has that amazing ability but the slow starts are his only remaining weakness at this level.

Anyone still trying to say Christen Me has been disappointing?

Has been absolutely flying and deserved a big one, has to be regarded the best around as we speak

Good on ya Dex
super talent both horse & driver

& training performance

He's buying a few Aussies tomorrow, people should give him a call

hopefully they leave 1 or 2 for us battlers tomorrow

Jay and Uncleeee ......... you would both watch more of the NZ'ers than I.

Would you rate Dex clearly ahead of the likes of Gavin and Puppet? Or are they all in the same bracket?

I actually include young Greg in that ilk as well although I am sure most would consider that a little premature

Dex has achieved a lot at a very young age,probably the most natural talent
Certainly for me Gav was a bit of an underachiever early on,for his ability.
Puppet is just a really driven guy & skys the limit for Greg

Throw in nafun for natural talent

Have to agree although he's not exactly a forum fave

Gav best by mile
Abetorpunt again unlucky.
Why not hand up straight away.
If Youranut wins they couldnt pay me

had a great night at tab corp park last night, agrees mostly with what Lloydy stated.

kids though had a ball, only real complaint, Change the fecking cooks !!!!!!! menu's so old, food so bland !

On last nights 3 Trot races at Melton the French tote held approx $300,000 in win/place pools. About the same as a full midweek meeting here

How much do they contribute to prize money?

Oui?
