How does a track go from a Soft 6 in the morning to a Good 3 during racing? 🤔 Not ideal for punters. #Otaki

Congrats Michael McNab. 1000 winners in New Zealand. The 41st jockey in history to achieve this milestone. RaceBase's current top rated NZ jockey too.

So good to see Snooker back on Sky. Was pleasantly surprised when I came across the Northern Ireland Open while flicking through the channels after being starved of any snooker for 4 or 5 years.

Peachy Keen's $100+ win dividend (tote) at Ashburton on Saturday, was the 18th biggest winning price on the NZ TAB, last 30 years. Here's a full list. racebase.co.nz/longshot.htm

Is the NZ TAB involved in the Aussie OneTote initiative? Could allow for a return of big $1 million Pick 6 jackpots, something that used to generate a lot of interest outside of those who normally bet on racing. I was involved in syndicates and they created a real buzz.

Lots of discussions among the syndicates about which horses to anchor, which races to go wide on, and recriminations afterwards when it all went haywire. 😃 Ultimately killed off by quaddies.

I think there's something to be said for keeping a jockey aboard a horse who knows it best. Now we are left wondering What If?

I'm posting this just on perception, but I think there's been big changes in the NZ racing markets in 2026. Not only has the number of market movers significantly increased, but also the amount in which they move, and the accuracy of the moves ....

I thought Mulan Ardeche was a sure thing yesterday, and was considering putting more on when it drifted to 2.15, despite Stephen Hunt labeling Above The Clouds as his bet of the day. But, I think, these days a market drifter has more significance, and the drift was right.

....plus the fact there were 3 odds on runners yesterday. Centurial 1.95 into 1.8 (wins). Mulan Ardeche 2s out to 2.15 (loses). Force Of Law 1.45 out to 1.65 (loses)

... take, for example, some of the winners market moves from morning market to closing price at Cambridge yesterday. Confectionist 3.3 into 2.8. Above The Clouds 7.5 into 4.2. Play 6s into 3.5

After Saturday's win at Hastings, Waitak has become just the 23rd horse to win at least 4 New Zealand Group Ones. See here for the full list : racebase.co.nz/mostg1s.htm

Just listening to Kerrin McEvoy after that win. He quoted the often used phrase 'Took luck out of the equation', and it's the best, the most handy and most true phrase in horse racing.

I like the TAB website changes. Love the price fluctuations for each runner part in particular. Informative on many levels. 👍
