Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Week, but yes, take two with Mattsmith from the tob
Morning in Morning.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Luky, sorry it was just fast or excited. Well, I
wasn't even looking.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
At my phone really too busy fiddling with your fascinator.
I mentioned that we had a collect last week from
our bonus cash listener Kim with forty three bucks five
each way on yours's mine. So great day for the melams?
Was it a great day for the tab? How do
you guys get on?

Speaker 2 (00:25):
You look if people came out in their droves? Yeah,
I think we had taken turnover more customers having a
bet than before and we had one person spend two
dollars in winter hundred and fifty thousand.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
I love those outrageous stories.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
I can confirm that wasn't me o all. We had
a good day, yeah, probably not not a losing result
for us, so that was good.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
So hoping for much of the same out of Eddington.
And something else that we mentioned before. The favorite for
the big race, the Trotting Cup, which is a bit later.
It's around I feel like it later and later each year.
It's about ten to six. This evening Ossie Horse leaped
to fame a dollar sixty yesterday on the book He's

(01:07):
is that the shortest odds for this race you've ever seen?

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Off the top of my head, I feel like Lazarus
about eight or nine years ago would have been the
roundabout dollar fifty dollars forty. He was just he was
just a class above. I think he won by ten
links and five links in the two years he won
the cap. So but look leap to fame, to reserves
at dollar sixty, he's won seventy nine percentage of starts. Wow,
which I think a fifty nine out of seventy three,
which is Yeah, there's quite staggering. If you think about

(01:34):
the All Blacks. You know, they've got a seventy seventy
something winning recal, but they're only even playing one other team.
They're not up against six, seven, ten, fourteen other horses.
So yeah, he deserves that price, and like I imagine,
here we.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Going very close, so you won't be earning much money
off him. What else have you got for us? Then?
Where just about you today?

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Well? Look, I think you gave a bit of fun
with the Hammon and Republican Party probably whose second favorite,
which I know I'm not being too brave there, but
I think you can probably lock the two of them
up to run the Quinella or the Executor, which is
the first two home in the exact order, and the
only other one which I think could play a nice place.

(02:17):
Price is number seventeen, don't stop dreaming. Currently is thirty
one and five dollars. But he was a fantastic second
and last years gap. He's got a terrible drawer to
work with, but I think he's potentially overcome it.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
And Nat that we've got the one mid Canterbury entry
in American Me. Would you be brave enough to put
a place on American Me?

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Well, I was just thinking about that. Actually, know, how
do we look? We've also got these markets called extra markets,
and you just look for them just along the top
of the app. If you're on there, you can take
a top eight finish. And I think American me ran
fourth or fifth, I think a year or two back
in the Cup, and I thought it's the kind of rast.
If you get the right run, you can easily sneak along,
you know, sneak up the inside, or just throw a

(02:59):
couple of gap Anderican meets paying three dollars sixty to
run top eight. So I thought that could be. It
might not be a bit we option if you if
you're so inclined,
