Great day.
Mafia Whispers race two at New Plymouth if you like money
I've slapped $45 on the nose at $4.80. Hope to get some money back from yesterday!

Looks a good 1000m horse right now. The winner looked quality running away from the field

She blew like heck and took a bit to recover. She didn’t love the soft 7 I don’t think.
A lot to like

We were talking about this in the pub last night. It was 6 o'clock and we realised none of us knew the result.
Go back a few years and we had an office sweep, people stayed behind to watch it and I always had a punt. None of that now.
Consensus was on course is dying and dedicated punters use the app.
Then the bar owner turned up pissed as a lord and explained we were all wrong. He'd been out at Ellerslie and had a fantastic time. Said Ellerslie has reinvented itself as a drinking establishment and everyone was glued to their phones.
He asked Chat GPT for the winners based on their draw, weight and jockey and was a grand up as a result.
Consequently, he loved everyone - and the drinks were all on him. So, although I forgot about the race, I definitely came out a winner with four free beers on top of the four I'd already had
