    • How good was the show tonight. Hope you invested plenty @Brodie
    • David Hayes is adamant Ka Ying Rising will have Tentyris covered as talk of a clash later this year between Hong Kong’s superstar and Australia’s new sprint sensation in The Everest (1,200m) intensifies. Fresh from his record-breaking 18th straight win in last Sunday’s Group One Queen’s Silver Jubilee Cup (1,400m), Ka Ying Rising will have two more local starts before Hayes turns his attention to defending his crown in the A$20 million (US$14.3 million) The Everest at Randwick in...View the full article
    • Whoever decided it was fair to give my battling 1 win trotter 40m, off the same mark as a 9 win horse. He got lapped both days and will now be another statistic because the owners got rheemed this week. I wont say anymore as i waa fined previously for sticking up for myself and no one is allowed an opinion. 1 day soon when i finally stop the torture to myself and leave this awful industry i will deliver a state of the game few have ever seen
    • are you talking about the people, the horses or the trainers ? lol.  or just burn down the building . There's seems to be no one in New Zealand that can do anything right . lol .  Com'on Brodster . How could that archaic system ever work ? it never really did. I could give you bucketloads of examples of horses 'Reaching their Mark ' within a couple of starts and just being sold off to Aus. even from when I was in NZ.    Lets look at Rangiora for example . Most of the races have been handicapped beautifully by the Handicapper and the races have contestants that are close on Ratings points . 35-40 , 41-50 etc.  Jason wants to sack and burn HRNZ though , just a BOAY forum normal thing these days it seems ? 🤣😅😋😂 EXAMPLE  The trot has Sods Law (15 wins ) off the front as a 38 rated horse. Rachmaninov   (also 15 wins ) is off 30m as a 53 rated horse. Brilliant !!  the great rating system ALLOWS the OUT of FORM horses to drop back in grade when they're out of form . AND there ARE PLENTY of Out of Form Horses around All the time.  So you'd have those 2 old time trotters unable to race because of a tight DINOSAUR life time win handicap???  ,and  they would be FFAer's and taking on Muscle Mountain at every start.  That's just a joke mate.  LIfetime wins????? . not really an option  EXAMPLE 2 . we just had our SLOW Horse race day at Redcliffe today. As we do every Thursday to GIVE ALL horses in training a hope of a race win . 2 of the Maiden class rated races . Thats 30 - 40 rated  (the lowest rating you can get)  were won by a lifetime  9 win horse and John Mc's own horse Crime Time (currently rated 31 after a long run out of outs ) won race 5 . his 25th lifetime wins from 300 starts. The old bugger is closing in on $200,000 earned. and won today in 1.59.5. the absolute fastest he can go. the 2 winners in next class up today (41-47 rating ) have 19 career wins each. How good is the Ratings ?? fantastic.  The  STUPID Lifetime wins idea would have him having to take on Leap To Fame . instead of Beginners grade and just above, and winning today lol.🤣 LONG LIVE the Genius who made the Current Rating system. More brilliant Ingenuity for harness racing.        
    • Why stop at the handicapping department? Unfortunately when the industry needs people with a  background with business success, we sadly haven’t got it! I believe that what should’ve been an opportunity to keep the harness industry going has been badly managed! the reality is that those that still think that Entain is the White Knight for racing in NZ are going to be sadly disappointed,  but then again the opportunity for anyone to dispute this are most welcome to respond here?
