well the stewards reports for the north island are always predictable. as i predicted,todays report completely ignored the main factors in firstly,why becker lost its driver, then was knocked to the ground later in the race.. lets just analyse the stipes report and what it ommited. 1)it says becker broke shortly after the start and shifted in.It ommits to say, i'm all in,had shited in albeit not  a major inward movement,but still enough for the horse i'm all in's,hind leg to contact the sulky wheel of becker.It was that contact that lead to im all in  galloping,as what horse wouldn't when its leg action has been significantly impeded by a sulky wheel. You can actually stop the video and it shows that. If you don't believe you can see that on the video then ask yourself why does the stipes report note that im all in was treated for a laceration to the leg that i say made contact with the sulky. Its obvious where and when the contact was made,yet the stipes ignore that. 2)the stipes gave advice to j dunn for the manner in which he drove. What the heck did they do that for. Was he not just trying to avoid the runner with no driver.  3)Why did they not question n delany for the manner in which he drove. What on earth was delany doing,becuase there is no doubt whatsover that he contributed to becker falling. 4)why did they not question c ahckett,because it was very obvious that she also contributed significantly to becker falling by forcing the horses inside her onto becker and making him fall. 5)the stipes report noted becker  jumped track markers near the 900m. Well duh,why was he jumping track markers.it was obvious.it was because the drivers outside him deliberately drove in a manner that forced becker to jump the markers now i've got better things i could be doing than pointing out just how incomplete(being diplomatic with that word) that stipes report was. i've said it before and this latest example again illustrates what i say about the north island stipes. they often overlook what some drivers do and because of their failure to give proper guidance and oversight to the juniors in the north isalnd,the standards of driving is poor when compared with the south island who have proper oversight. drivers,whether they be inexperienced or not,should still have an obligation to think of safety,not only for the drivers,but also the horsesThat did not happen today and the stipes in charge turned a blind eye. the only driver who considered safety and i believe showed common sense was j dunn,yet he was the only driver they spoke to about the manner he drove.  

Interesting HRNZ have just released the northern top pacers/trotters autumn  programme, not hard to see how easy to slot in the Auckland Cup, only way they will attract all the toppys together, would just run a FFA on Dec 31, let Omakau build there day. 

Still good entertainment, but these days I can take it or leave......but yes many punt through Xmas and new year, it's just what many do then back to normal life.

The best time for punting is the xmas holidays. Punt hard from just before xmas until people go back to work in early January. Find it the most profitable part of the year. Must be the holiday punters betting names they like or lucky numbers. That be why Mikeys 150 lasted longer than normal.

Entain don’t care about the industry. They just want mugs giving them a dollar for a 75 cent return.

Lol hardly be wanting to email them for obvious reasons. You are correct the TAB doesnt let many punters win very much! They think that $1k is a big bet??? TAB with its monopoly should be letting the punters on to win reasonable amounts, without the total control  that exert, as it is hindering the industry big time.  

Personally do not believe that HRNZ are keeping the public informed enough wuth their decision making. So many decisions made that is not in the best interests of harness racing future!

Mark Newnham leads the way on the dirt this season and the championship leader is well placed to add to his lead with some excellent chances on Wednesday’s all-dirt card at Sha Tin. The Australian is two wins clear of Caspar Fownes in the premiership on 32 and is also one clear of Danny Shum Chap-shing in the unofficial dirt equivalent on seven wins. Newnham has not been afraid to pitch his runners onto the surface this campaign and it has borne plenty of fruit, with New Forest going for a third...View the full article

Never look. Don’t bother with form and stuff. Waste of time. Just focus on what’s happening on the exchange for harness racing. TAB doesn’t let you win much anyways. Sounds like the site is crap. Couldn’t be worse than grnz and that Love Racing thing is pretty crap. Anyway if you wanna know what’s happening with this fixed odds information I’d email them. Might reply, might not, but worth a try.
