Happy Sunrise

This has nothing to do Wandering Eyes. The role of Wandering eyes is obvious. The simple question that was asked was do you post on this site as Noodlum? 2 different posters alleged this with evidence. This is to do with you posting under other usernames on the forums and pretending to be someone other than Chief Stipe. True. You don't answer the above question. Oh dear, 😂 Thanks Chief. I appreciated your site and your work but this Noodlum thing doesn't work for me. I will make like a horse in a Lamb stand start and gallop my way out of here. No more correspondence.

And you have the balls to put this up in the vent when you took down my original post in the harness racing forum which was was to say goodbye and say why I was leaving (namely you having multiple usernames - which is already known amongst posters) You moderate me because of it and only put up what suits you. This makes me appear like a nutter when it is in no context without the original post. You have hit a new low.

Free speech does not exist in an environment where a person creates multiple identities with a voice when they are in fact just one - you. Do it. You think I am attacking you on your own site and damaging it so get rid of me. I am leaving but remember I am not some crazy poster you are moderating. I have contributed in an albeit very small way to the harness side of this site but you refuse to deny, let alone acknowledge, the illusionary nature of your site.

You can do what Scoobie did to Brodie on Channel X and and take away my user name - change it to guest so my moniker no longer exists on this site.

As long as it is about Molloy / Scoobie etc you can dish it out but you can't take it. I was more than polite when this started but you don't have the guts to say posters were incorrect about their claim of you being Noodlum then you shut me down when it doesn't suit you. Many a poster tell you how you defend Brodie, but you can't see it. Just like you can't see this situation. You just choose to be silent and that gives you away.

You roll by your own rules. You don't reply. You live in a dream world where you spout sanctimonious crap as long as it suits you. Hesi and co are right about you.

I look forward to the stipes report to see if they ask the questions about the tactics.

Who gives the lead away on a $1.10 shot? No one, unless it is to a stablemate so you can guarantee you won't go 3 back. Fancy, then getting beat by it.

The amount of money on the horse was very surprising considering the field. Even more surprising was it came into 3.40 on the fixed from 5s. Tough ask to win your first race against the likes of Evangalist and Pembrook's Destiny. As for the drive, he set it an impossible task.

Good idea.

Put it all on Amazing Dream and enjoy your winnings.

What are you doing? Is this necessary?

I have no doubt Brodie is restricted. I also have no doubt Brodie is (was) at the top of the TAB hit list because of his past performances where he took them to the cleaners on a consistent basis. This was validated years ago on Channel X in a discussion where his claims were supported by a very respected poster who knew of Brodie. I just think a lot of punters are restricted these days to varying degrees. It gets very frustrating trying to get a bet on sometimes and this is why I called Mick Guerin's claim out last week as a cash bet at the TAB does not entitle you to have the bet of your choice. Far from it.

2 races with 10 starters, the rest in single figures. But don't worry the All Stars are there so the real punters will turn up and turnover figures will be through the roof.

Do you have the curtains closed while you watch Manawatu intently on a Tuesday afternoon? I worry for your sanity, which is a surprise since you seem a very rational person. 😀

I would bet my bottom dollar Geraldine would have performed well. The grass track meetings over summer are the backbone of the industry. Mick Guerin said as much on the Box Seat last week. Yet, they tried to remove a raft of them in their Covid meltdown reforms. The state of Northern racing is still precarious and no grass track circuits to support it. Anyway, broken record time as I have said all this before.

Wouldn't it be nice to see the figures published each week. Some transparency, but that word doesn't exist in harness racing.

It had run its race before the race.

Nothing apart from this below for Carrera Dance. The false start and the long wait probably meant he was toast before the start as he is pretty green but I thought the question should have been asked about the tactics used by Gavin Smith. There were only 8 left in the race after all the breakers and it was in the one one but left that position just after the 1000m mark to be 3 wide for a distance before going back into the one one about the 600m. Why do that? Nothing untoward in it but I thought the stipes should at least ask. CARRERA DANCE - crowded shortly after the restart and had to be steadied.

Do you take odds on opening or do you wait until for more opportune moments eg just before the start?

I don't think they would take a thousand on an 80 to 1 horse regardless of any factors. Not in a million years. Have you ever heard the TAB say someone has 1000 on at 80 to 1!

They often get it wrong by opening the horses at odds way under what they should be. A lot of things have to go the punters way for them to get the price favourably wrong for the punter and when a restricted punter tries to take the value there is no guarantee they will get it.

Can you quote where he said that please. I am not sure I am right. Mardigras seems to be very logical in his thinking so it worth listening too.

If the TAB gets the pricing wrong they will change it when a big bet is attempted to be placed on it. In effect, the odds on offer do not exist.

Should they? I don't believe the TAB would take the bet without knowing who was putting it on. If it was Brodie the restricted one there is no way they would take it. Then slash the odds. If it was a known losing punter they may take it but slash the odds regardless as they wouldn't be willing to wear the 80 000 loss. 80 to 1 is miles outside their comfort zone so it not a possibility in my eyes regardless of the race.
