I'm betting Friday night at the Valley.

And I'm up thanks to the last at Port Lincoln

[JK]

Just got in from golf day with the lads and still loaded up on bb so hitting up the valley too ahead of a big day tomorrow

[Hooroo]

Off to bed. Looks as though I can kiss goodbye any chance of us winning. What a debacle of a runout miss

[mariner4life]

@JK on anything to beat the 1.50 favourite?

[Hooroo]

Wahhhoooeeeee

[Hooroo]

Good use of bonus bet. Really happy. Finally got given a decent ride

Redemption for the tipsters!

Horse racing right?

[mariner4life]

Sometimes I wish I knew what goes through a jockeys head. You've got 1400m to get your horse in a spot where it can get a run. Sometimes it looks like the plan is nothing more than hope.

I've been fucked twice today by jockeys pulling up the horse because he can't find a run.

Fucking midget fluffybunnies.

I can barely buy a winner. Fuck me.

Thanks to News Girl for stopping a bad day being a disaster

Had a great weekend on the punt. Was down in Invercargill for the Invercargill Cup harness racing meeting. I was battling away, but then nabbed $2 worth of a quinella in a trot race, which paid $179. So my return of $358 (plus $10 each way on the 2nd horse) had me in profit for the rest of the day. Made a cool hundy on the Ascot Park Hotel pokies, then put on a quaddie bet at Motukarara this morning before jumping on the plane. Checked my account, and I'd turned $5 into $384, having included the $20 winner of the last leg based on its past form on the course.

$45 collect on Lotto too!

Gday all back at work and for some reason can’t get on the firm other than thru phone and only when off the work network hmmm

But I can still access tab at work....strange!

@JK maybe they think the fern discourages productivity while if you are wanting to bet you need money, and this encourages productivity

[Hooroo]

@JK Did you enter the BGP Karaka Millions Punters Club? I see a 45% return which is good but I bet the expectation wasn't met?

[JK]

I did but only due to have $500 invested last year that I’ve just let roll. They are paying all out this time so it will actually feel like a much larger return than 45% given I have pretty much considered that initial $500 gone.

Yeah it’s not a great % return but it’s must be bloody awkward to punt such huge amounts on the skinny markets of the NZ tab.

and it's still profit!!

I think it is a really good initiative and will likely get on board next year, just to support it.

I see their Savabeel Colt is near to going through the ring. Hope that pays off. Would like to know how much they purchased the Weanling for.

[JK]

I think it’s up shortly so will watch

How good is Steve as an auctioneer! He is the best by the length of the straight. Go Racing got it and Te Akau were underbidders.
