      race 3 ellerslie

      By the galah · Posted

      after watching it a few times,i guessed maybe pinn has a very short fuse.. i have no idea,he may be a very happy chappy,just it appeared not so in that race. If you owned or trained the horse he rode,would you appreciate it being ridden like a demolition derby car?

      race 3 ellerslie

      By Murray Fish · Posted

      I happen to watch the race,  actually yelled out to Mrs,  you will have to watch the reply of this race!  Big Argy Bargy!! Having looked at it again, 1st time it looked like they were both fighting for a line/space, 2nd time, I though perhaps #3 had it! and  Outside came over the inside horse.  It will be interesting to see how the stipes see it!

      Yeah.  That is how it is going to be from now on.  If you are on course you can't see the horses until they have gone 700m unless you look at the big screen.  Also it impacts the stewards vision as so far there is not side vision.  I guess you can see a lot from the seagull view!!

      is it just me,or do others think w pinn was trying to deck the horse inside it on purpose,simply because it pushed him a bit wider. and besides,i once heard j mcdonald say,when explaining a turnaround in a horses formthat getting into a bumping duel can take a lot out of your horse and that when you see horses do that,you can excuse them for not performing quite as well as you may expect. if j mcdoanld thinks that,what was w pinn doing. pinn obviously rode ina  manner that negatively impacted his own chances as well as it looking dangerous..

      brad steele latest question and answer

      By the galah · Posted

      the consistent message most are saying is simple over inflate stakes now and thats certain to result  in cuts in stakes later. by advocating for stakes paid to reflect funding levels as most are, means people are advocating for policies that maintain stake levels.  I'm not sure why you infer that means most are anti harness racing. this thread was about mr steele's ability to give an ambiguous answer combined with words that create the impression of positivity.  pointing out hes good at that,well thats because he is good at that.  mr steele is a person who is in charge of making decisions that can impact the industry both negatively or positively.So when he makes decisions and statements people think are going to negatively impact the industry ,in particular prioritising some sectors over others,people are going to reference him as the person who bears responsibility for his decisions. mr steele does have a job where he will be judged on his results,not on where he comes from or whether he remained positive or not. Positive thinking always is overtaken by  reality in the end. Thats juts how life works. thats incorrect.i rejected the argument you made ,that racing is funded annually,like a govt department,with that funding having to be spent  within that timeframe or it is  lost.. I also rejected the argument you put forward that the nz govt help fund nz racing annually.My reply to your post was that may apply in australia,i don't know whether it does or not,but i suggested if you think thats what happens in nz,then that may expalin why you make some of your comments.  you mention the unhinged man winning a $100,000 golden gait race. The auckland club,being over $80m in debt,apparently thought it a great idea to fund the bulk of those races worth $1m on that night from club funds and add it to their debt.And you thought that is a good thing.And you also refer to the cambridge club adding over $100,000 in debt one year to their substanial debt ,by running slot races,was also a wonderful thing....oh well,your consistent. at the end of the day,i think you and i have different ideas on the importnance of each sector. You certainly place most value on the high achievers. I place most value on the sectors that returns the most profitabilty to the industry as undermine them and you undermine the whole business structure . We both want to see the industry prosper,just disagree on how to achieve that.
