  1. They laid the favourite.
  2. Case closed your owner.
  3. FFS you are all over the place.
  4. Eh? How did you derive that from what I posted? My views are clear about Entain. I don't believe they can earn enough revenue in NZ to meet or sustain their NZ commitments.
  5. That's another irrational statement. Have you been slurping on the leftover dregs from yesterday?
  6. Sadly you're a joke @holy ravioli and anyone who reads your posts can see that even when they have to distil any semblance of meaning from your irrational ideological ramblings.
  7. I didn't broaden anything you did after you dug a hole for yourself. You'd be the last person anyone would imitate.
  8. As I said there are successful markets in every country. It's up to you to disprove that. Not my job to waste time educating an adult idiot.
  9. I don't think so unless they are part of the ownership syndicate which isn't named after them. I would have thought they'd use whatever chance they had to promote themselves.
  10. Thumps?
  11. I'm not here to waste time educating the ignorant.
  12. Weir in 10 years of training averaged 360 wins a year. Puts his judicial record in a bit more perspective. That's over 3,600 winners all swabbed.
  13. A very poor analogy. My daughter would be smart enough not to go near a KNOWN wife basher. I suppose you wouldn't send your horse to Peter Moody either based on your criteria? Actually there aren't many if any top trainers that would meet your criteria.
  14. In the interests of fairness and rather than relying on @the galah commentary: Darren Weir Inquiry Darren Weir's disciplinary record By Racenet 01:14am • 06 February 2019 Here is the full disciplinary record of disgraced trainer Darren Weir, banned on Wednesday for four years. February, 2019 – Disqualified for four years on three charges over the discovery of jiggers and a charge of conduct prejudicial to the imagine of racing. September, 2018 – Fined $5000 after pleading guilty to making false or misleading statements over the identity of seven horses at the Ballarat trials on October 3. January, 2018 – Fined $500 over the late on-course arrival of Night's Watch at Doomben. The horse was scratched and missed the opportunity to qualify for the Magic Millions. September, 2017 – Fined $2500 after pleading guilty to taking Air Guitar to the Burrumbeet trials when the horse had non-steroidal anti-inflammatories in its system. November, 2013 – Fined $2000 after a security guard arrived at his Ballarat stable to monitor VRC sprint hopeful Platelet, only to find the horse had been transferred to Weir's Warrnambool base without stewards' knowledge. It was the seventh time in five years Weir had been called in by stewards for failing to notify a change of stable for his horses. May, 2013 – Fined $7000 after Doing Our Best returned a positive swab to Frusemide after winning at Ballarat on February 16, 2013. March, 2011 – Fined $500 for using abusive language towards a trackwork supervisor at Ballarat. January, 2010 – Weir-trained Time Matters was withdrawn from a Listed race at Caulfield after a routine race day-stable inspection revealed the horse had been at Jarrod McLean's Warrnambool stable. November, 2009 – Fined $1500 after Lethal Gal was scratched from Ballarat Cup Day after a race-day inspection at Weir's stable revealed the horse was located in a nearby stable of another trainer. February, 2008 – Fined $15,000 after pleading guilty to sending Grey Jeune to the July 14, 2007 Murtoa meeting with an elevated bicarbonate (TC02) level. Grey Jeune won the Murtoa Cup, but was subsequently stripped of the win. May, 2006 – Glebe Run was controversially scratched on the last day of the 2006 Warrnambool May Carnival. Stewards deemed there was a 'strong possibility' the horse had been stomach-tubed. Blood and urine tests from Glebe Run were clear and no action was taken against Weir. September, 2003 – Suspended for three months after he was caught administering a substance via a stomach tube to Kinther King at Rupanyup on the way to the August 8 Murtoa races. October, 2002 – Fined $1000 after being found in possession of stomach tubing equipment at Manangatang races. January, 2001 – Suspended for eight weeks for giving false evidence over the late scratching of Amanda Huggenkiss at Warrnambool. Weir was followed by racetrack detective Peter McMillan into the float car park where Weir placed the horse on a float for 13 minutes before re-emerging. January, 2001 – Fined $1000 for removing Amanda Huggenkiss from the saddling paddock at Warrnambool and for having a needle in his possession.
  15. BGP To Win $1m if Cool n Fast wins Karaka! Got the odds boosted as well. Have Entain removed all betting restrictions? @Brodie you're back in the money of they have!
  16. Where did I state that? I stated that there are markets that work efficiently - EVERYWHERE.
  17. Whatever you do don't search "Drinking Safaris"!
  18. Oh BTW @Newmarket I don't choose the BS ads, YOU do through your online history of site visits and searches. So if you are getting lots of ads for single desperate cougars and single malt whiskey (the two shouldn't be confused) then you only have yourself to blame.
  19. Stuff is worse. What are they scared of? Hell you'd be banned from some local sites with the crap you dish out to the host! 😊
  20. Well pray tell us all what we supposedly don't know? That said, I the fool, can see that she has 6 rides out of 8 races today at Caulfield. Riding for Sadler, Griffiths/de Kock, Neasham, Maher/Eustace and even our own Walker/Begerson. 3 of the rides are favourites. I guess you have information that those trainers don't have. Get on the phone! BTW she is currently 4th on the Vic Metro premiership with 18 wins and $3.2m in stakes. Not travelling as much as she used to since the accident but on her way back.
  21. Tell that to anyone who lived under Stalin or Mao regimes. Meanwhile you ignore the fact that China commenced on the path of becoming an economic trading powerhouse after the death of Mao primarily because of the free market reforms of Deng Xiaoping beginning in 1979. Isn't there enough empirical evidence from China to support the fact - markets work? But you just keep wallowing in you ideological bath.
  22. Bollocks. The point I was making was aimed directly at you. You have no concept of redemption, forgiveness or rehabilitation. If someone makes a mistake 20 years ago that's it. Waller classes Weir a training genius. There are many many aspects of racing that could be called inherently cruel. Where do you draw the line? Should all horses run without bits, blindfolds or in harness - hobbles? Should they not be raced until they are 5 or 6 when they stop growing? You enjoy the sport @the galah and you spend many hours a week watching it and presumably gambling on it. You pontificate and constantly look for illegal reasons for the success of some. Training horses is a tough game as @Gammalite would attest and some horses are damn tough to train. Often A horse's strong will (call it an addiction) to win makes them right arseholes to train. Some are super talented but damn lazy - I've owned one of those and may be a jigger in training might have stopped its inevitable journey to the knackers yard. I'm sure you reminesce about the magnificent performances of Lord Module and other champions from times gone by while you quietly ignore the fact that under today's rules and those that some wish to impose on the sport, Lord Module would have never been a champion.
  23. Here.
