your above reply to my comment brushes over the point i made. and i suppose you've done that on purpose. I guess your just trying to mitigate negative comment some outsiders may make about this site, because you allow greater freedom of speech and allow some posts that others may not. i don't know,why not just do as you say in the last sentence of your above reply. In this case,say to mr fitzgerald ,look you got some bad publicity from peter profit, who for reasons your unaware of doesn't like you,but hey forbury's post repeating that comment has given you a chance to clarify the facts and now people can see whats what.. So instead of people coming on here and suggesting this site is full of complainers talking shit(which fitzgerald did),tell him or anyone else to step back and get some perspective and deal with life,but also,tell them they are free to use this site to get across to people the message they may want to sell,but of course realise they may get the occassional response from someone saying,hey,i don't agree with you or you've overreacted.. So personally chief i think you shouldn't be empathising with people who don't have perspective,,because those very same people sometimnes have an ulterior motive,which is sometimes to paint the very small % of posters as a reflection of the overall posts that appear on here. anyways ,thats what i would do,but isay that realising i'ts not my site and your the fella clever enough to run a site like this which everyonne appreciates. -

I assume you are referring to legitimate approved treatments and not inferring anything sinister. -
well the 3rd place was different when used to seeing him win I guess. But the first 2 Placegetters last night in Vic Cup had good draws and have been in scintillating form themselves. I tipped Hi Mynameisjeff straight out on this thread above as has been going 1.49 lately , and he nearly stole the race but Kingman who also has been running big 1.53 wins ( 3 times lately over 2300m) and with Australia's best trainer driver was always going to be hard to beat. Luke McCarthy is a Mark Purdon 'clone' really. I hope Leap To Fame still goes to NZ. he would add some spice to the Cup , even though Republican Party looks like he deserves this Big win after several great runs over past year. (including the dominant 3200m stand Auckland Cup) the Interdominion type contests (Aus v NZ) are just so good as always. A highlight of the sport. -

@the galah I've had numerous complaints about @Forbury 's past posts and some of them have been quite frankly disgusting. Those without short memories can remember his posts about Ben Hope for example that went far too far. Many of his posts have been moderated by hiding them (I don't delete anything like some sites). I'm quite happy to send you some examples. At the moment there is about a dozen in a moderation queue!!! So don't tell me or any other poster we don't have perspective. I live in eternal hope that the attitude of some individuals will change. That said I and others attempt to ameliorate the negativity by posting alternative sides of the debate often with well thought out responses. For example in response to your inaccurate musings about PED's in Harness Racing. So if I'm enabling anything it is a fair debate. However some individuals take their negativity beyond an online forum into real life. My partner and I now either tell them what we think and if they persist we ask them to move to a different room. -

Wanganui stayer Just Charlie (NZ) (Zed) sounded a stern warning to his rivals for the upcoming Gr.3 Martin Collins 162nd New Zealand Cup (3200m) with an all the way romp in Sunday’s Steelform Roofing Group Waverley Cup (2200m). Prepared by Kevin Myers, Just Charlie had a luckless preparation leading into the Waverley feature, covering extra ground and being held up badly on two occasions, particularly last time out when favourite in similar contest at Trentham in mid-September. A month later, he stripped a fit horse and came out running in the hands of George Rooke, who sat outside the leader early before rolling to the top. Rooke was able to dictate terms along the back straight, and on the home turn, Just Charlie was still striding out boldly and was going to take some beating. He gave a good kick at the 200m and only got better the further he went, powering through the line ahead of local gallopers Comedy and Sandoku, who acquitted herself well in open company for the first time. The six-year-old gelding maintained his unbeaten record at the venue going three-from-three, and Rooke said he felt the winner a long way from home. “I didn’t really have any instructions but he jumped quite well, we weren’t going very hard early and he relaxed well in front,” he said. “He kept at a nice even gallop and he’s a proper stayer, he just lengthened and hit the line very nicely today. “That horse (Jack In The Box) joined me between the 800 and 600 and he came alive underneath me, so I knew I had a lot of horse and it would take a good one to beat him. I didn’t realise they were all off the bit as much as they were coming into the straight, he had them covered a long way out. “That was my first ride for Kevin so it was great to get it off to a winning one, I’m delighted really I couldn’t have asked for a better day, with two rides and one winner.” A son of Zed out of the Danasinga mare Goody Two Shoes, Just Charlie was bred by his owners Mike and Roz Southey, who co-bred and part-owned a former star of the Myers stable in Zed Em. In 22 starts, he has won five and placed in a further six races, earning just shy of $160,000. Off the back of his Waverley success, Just Charlie has shortened into $9 in the market for the New Zealand Cup, which will be run at Riccarton Park on the 15th of November. “The New Zealand Cup is his main aim and I think the further he goes, the better he’ll get,” Rooke said. Just Charlie is no stranger to success at the southern venue, having won the Road To The Jericho (3000m) twelve months ago before finishing fourth in the Cup, won by Mehzebeen. Myers has won three editions of the time-honoured two mile event, including two in the last four years with Aljay and Mondorani. View the full article
