    • I tend to agree about Oatham.  
    • Ok TEAM I BELIEVE THIS GUY IS OUT OF HIS DEPTH. What I would like the team to go and have a look at is R2 at Taranaki where Ace Lawson got a 5 day suspension. He is riding a horse named Sesimbra in Velas colours and wins, paying $5 50. He is charged for interference with the last-placed horse, Justadude, which finishes 24l last at the 550m mark. How Ace Carrol gets a 5-day suspension? To me, it borders on incompetence by Oatham to even charge him. The horse he is alleged and found guilty of was going backwards and the overreacting by the rider of Justadude it does not mean a charge was warranted and worse he pleaded Guilty. This rubbish must stop, do not plead Guilty if the charge is cringeworthy and you may get a 1 day reduction if you plead Guilty. Have a look at the Stewards video and I will trust my opinion and hope you guys agree Oatham is a joke and an embarrassment to our industry. I watch a lot of the videos and this guy is not the real deal

    • Heard and read what Mark Hurrell said as well about going forward! Not sure why he did say that as well, as he made no effort throughout to put the horse in the race. Robyn’s Playboy at his very best would have slaughtered that field as he was once touted as a NZ cup horse, may have even started in it s few years back? However the horse has not performed to a high level for a few years now. He was unlucky in the straight and did not get a run so maybe bext start those punters on today will get their money back? Southland form can be very hard to follow too often.
    • Well you had to laugh. Or perhaps if you backed robyns playboy maybe swear a little. But the hrnz website highlighted M Hurrells drives and trackside interviewed him early on in the day. Then greg o'connor again repeated the tactics Mr hurrell said he would be using early in the race. That was go forward and look for the lead. I'm guessing it was a result of all that publicity and confidence that punters heavily supported the horse late. in the first attempted start ,which was a false start,iit looked like mr hurrelll intended to go back,no can't be i thought. Then  blow me down and knock me over with a feather, at the second attempt he indeed very heavily restrains robyns playboy ,all the way back to last.There he sat,under a strong hold and there he was at the finish,still under a hold as the horse who had raced behind him at the back improved around him and stuck ion well for 3rd. i don't think anyone was expecting to see those tactics. The moral of the story,well i'm not sure. Maybe don['t read any drivers thoughts in the media and keep trackside on mute. i do see the funny side of it all,even though i had a wee investment on the horse based on the driver using the tactics he said he would pre race. oh well,on to the next race i suppose.
