It was bundled in with a gripe about a horse which hadn't followed the criteria to race in 2 yr old Young Guns Trot series at ATC. It flew up from Invergiggle and took the chocs ! One trainer said it was 'corrupt ',then another high profile trainer said ...not as corrupt as the disqualified trainer etc . He taken to task on how a license holder can post like this. Its on the Harness Racing Enthusiasts NZ site ,well run and admin by Kate M. I think you need to join it to get the good info ! -

(opps,when that sort reply just keep getting longer, if its a bit rambling please bear with me, usually a long post means I'm close to getting out of here, even out of the ind...) sigh @TAB For Ever That bit above is what really pisses me off about you!!! ME!! resentful and envy!!! of someone in NZ Racing? Gee, I 'know' how hard any success can be! As I have matured over the years, i have tried to learn to not let any peti dislike I might have for a jockey or trainer or owner to cloud my 'betting mind'.. for me to do that I have had to learn to note any silly thinking around the likes of r/e, being aware of stupid cognitive bias. umm r/e you reckon i have? r/e in my house? which has a fecking games room! full of 100's of games!!! 7 year old me!!! 1000% of those wants got), I be living in a very good paddock! This r/e?? I be gifted with the ability to daily generate Gratitude! G is the Negation of r/e! Another point, you seem to sneer around that fact that I live in the South! You Do know that I have lived (not visited) in Hong Kong! London! twice in lower Manhattan... I'm sure that because I had to deal with the may actual life struggles to 'DO that lifestyle!" Gee, do you thinking sleeping rough can aid the development of Gratuity? you got much of that tabby? Gee, tabby, I be back for more! 3 visitor so far since I started this!!! r/e: in my relationships with important people in my life, in my near community (of which I know the families of 98 of the closes houses to ours)... I doubt very many would be saying I ever display much of that old r/e oh, yes I do find some disgust in the chosen lifestyles of many in the peti and bourgeois class, many being quite vulgar! but any r/e, 0.00001% for , that vulgar behaviour can often be seen at the end of one of those big jaffa race days that you are keen on!!!! btw, I would be there with whistles and bells if I was near by!near by! Talking Auck, seen you seem to want to know about all the places I have lived! (I once had a cat that lived to 21 and in that time 16 house moves! with 7 city moves! Jean long Batten, she did live up to her name! Gee, I seemed to have all these exciting times in me life! I have lived 3 times in Auck, from days and nights of so many adventures when living in Kyper Pass Road in my youth! it really was lots of music love sex drugs.. Never a days labour to be had... also live in Albany! Saturday afternoon was always fun, every one that had been visiting the local Maximum Prison down the road would drop in for a drink! Often staying late into the night! Only certain people can usually drink with that sort! I once lived in Manurewa, (doing some racing phots then) I could go into the local public bar, 200 brown fellas and one not much bigger than a jockey white fella! a while fella who has always had this gift to front up to 'strangers' in lots of different situations and places! if only i had the recall to share some of the Laughs along the way... Another tack! re my current relationship with things racing.. encase you want to know,.. remember that I took 1000 plus shots at both meetings.. I spoke to 50 people at Ascot Park on Sunday, 10 serious Racing Politics discussions*, others, often started after each race with "are you any wiser after that??", it really is a great opening line! leads to so many answers and the conversations flows... now I 'know' than often that is the first time many have got to be talking with that M Fish fella! many I am lead to believe forms their opinions about me! gee, you reckon they would be saying he being the r/e type bugger me! Would you like me to share a interesting fact that I did learn on the big southern trip, my racing photo collection (note I OWN the copyright) has a rather large amount of Photos of Historical Importance. The sad part for the Industry, is that I can no longer give away any more photos, you do know of my long history of helping out struggling people with those sorts of things... sigh, I'm raving again! actually, perhaps I now need a cost acc?? dominate player in Industry goe$ 5"x&7" $35 me, $7.. but, that same photo to the person who seen the PoHI I have has now rather gone up... so, should I sell this PoHI one by one? in one sale to one of the big world photo libraries, sadly they then get charged out at USA$.. refer to current Fairfax realty! sigh, or as the great man once said "know when to walk away"... To finish: I am a hard nose economic realist! Who sadly just knows way to much about the Historical Materialism of NZ Racing History! one who really is more and more struggling with getting the needed energy to continue with building my historical collection!!! when! on another front I have now be approach by two large collections organisations of nz photo history! both are rather keen Just to see parts of it!!! But I now those institution can be that great what with only being based in backward old D town, eh! oh the fecking irony! champion in one camp! chump in other!!!! Hey possible news @TAB For Ever I 'might' just be coming out of retirement for a rather exciting 'fight' with one of racing all time Heavyweight Intellectuals! known to some as Theboygenuis.. to others he adds the value of a dog shit! -

Mossdale Ben’s winning run in the USA, a poll on the greatest Sires’ Stakes champions and new phone and email details for the Racing Bureau all feature in this week’s News Briefs. Kiwi-bred leading USA stakes winners Mossdale Ben is turning into quite the buy for his American owners. The Kiwi-bred has had eight wins and two seconds from 10 starts and is the leading stakes earner in the USA this year. His earnings currently stand at $US404K ($NZ680K). Bred by Archie Affleck in Southland, the son of Rocknroll Dance won eight in this country for trainers Greg and Nina Hope before heading to the USA in December. His latest win came in last weekend’s $516,00 MGM Borgata Pacing Series final at Yonkers Raceway in New York in 1:51.4. Trainer Peter Tritton also won the same final in 2016 with Kiwi star and $2.5 million dollar earner Bit Of A Legend. Who is the greatest Sires’ Stakes champion? Many harness racing legends have forged their path to greatness through the NZ Sires’ Stakes over the decades. So, ahead of Friday’s Group 1 $200,000 Garrards NZ Sires’ Stakes Series 3YO Colts and Geldings Final it’s time to debate who was the best? To cast your vote for your favourite champion in the survey/poll in this week’s newsletter click here Industry Excellence Awards nominations closing soon There are just days left to get your nominations in for the Industry Excellence Awards, powered by Entain, to be held on June 29. Winners of the nine awards categories will receive $10,000 with finalists in each category receiving $2,000. The supreme winner will receive an extra $5,000 on top of their $10,000 category win, and a $5,000 educational package. These awards are designed to recognise the future leaders and rising stars under 40 of New Zealand racing codes. Category winners last year included Jo Ferguson (nee Stevens) and Chanelle Dickie, from within and around the harness racing industry.

If you have any questions about the nomination process, check out the FAQs on the link above, or email industryawards@entaingroup.co.nz HRNZ survey result HRNZ would like to thank the many hundreds who responded to its recent marketing survey. The survey, sent out in April, asked for all sorts of feedback on what is done right and want needs improving. HRNZ is still going through the results. As promised one lucky respondent has given a $100 Prezzy card and that winner was Blenheim’s Tim Goodwin. Congratulations. Ripples returns to Mark Jones Mark Jones has taken over the training of former Aussie-based filly Ripples. The two-year-old daughter of Bettor’s Delight has had two starts in this country for trainer Emma Stewart, winning at Alexandra Park on April 25 and then finishing second to Cool For Cats in the Group 2 Delightful Classic on May 2. Ripples was with Jones originally before being sent to Australia to race in the Gold Tiara, which she won in March. Robyns Playboy ready for new Life After Racing Robyns Playboy, the so-called “Beast from the East”, has been re-educated and is now awaiting his new home. He joined HRNZ’s rehoming programme HERO earlier this year after being retired from racing. He had 15 wins from 105 starts. An Ascot Park specialist he won nine times at Invercargill with Craig Ferguson driving him in 12 of his wins. The Shadow Play nine-year-old was a great performer for the Wilsons at Gore, with Ross breeding the horse and then training him in partnership with son Chris. To see more check out HERO’s facebook page by clicking here Age no barrier in Queensland At start number 290, Theresachance has shown he still has plenty of speed in his 11-year-old legs. The Australian veteran whipped around “The Triangle” at Redcliffe in the Trot Rods, covering the 947 metres in a heat winning 65 seconds. It was his 35th career win. A bargain buy for trainer Graham White Theresachance has so far amassed nearly $200,000 in stakes, with the prospect of more to come. The popular Trot Rods series culminates in a big finals night on May 28. New number/email for Racing Bureau The National Racing Bureau now has its own dedicated email and phone accounts.
