Happy Sunrise

To be honest, I am happy from a punting perspective when there is no all stars horse in the race. Suits my betting style. As for race 6, there are some pretty average horses running for 150k but I suppose that is part and parcel of the yearling sales system. At least someone is going to go home happy other than the all stars and at least all of those owners and trainers think they have a slim chance at least. Unlike if there was an all stars in there who would be paying $1.20 150k races are rare. It is just a shame open class horses have to race for very similar amounts as maidens and I suppose that is why no one wants their horses going up the grades too quickly. Maybe the stakes have to be graduated to encourage horses to win and move up the ratings. Probably unaffordable though.

My resentment is the fact the racing is boring and result is a foregone conclusion the majority of the time.

It is exactly the same principle. Great effort and deserved but bad in the long run. There is no way harness racing at Palmy can survive if Mr House continues to clean up like this. The reverse also applies...should the trainers who are racing at Palmy up their game? Can they? Or is this procession of wins by House inevitable. What advice would those who put forward this solution of upping their game be to those trainers getting beat at the moment?

Some will be shattered by this possibility....but not many.

Shocking decision making not to be the first horse to make a move forward and get even a touch handier. I try to be polite about drivers and their tactics because there are so many variables but that drive was, for want of a better word, lame. Incredibly lame. He should get a talking to at the very least.

I tell you what, even with all the hoopla around Inca and everything, the harness racing community is pretty bloody tight if this much can be raised in such a short amount of time for Margo and Peter. A generous bunch indeed.

He sure does. She will probably end up slumming it in the old stand at Forbury every night this winter.....eating 2 minute noodles with cold water....

Update: Daughter is on 2 minute noodles for the foreseeable future.

Is INCA still going? It doesn't seem to have any effect at all on the game....yet.

They backed it in didn't they. Articulight must be one of the biggest head scratchers of a horse going round.

Sadly seems to happen now and again doesn't it. Game Changer was a long time battler but had its moments. Never good to hear this kind of thing.

277 is off the charts. Was $277 just about the whole pool for the Win divvy? Maybe a 2 each way bet?

Agree Harewood. Odd changes are mickey mouse at best. They sometimes have horses going up and then down and up again in the odds and nothing else has moved in the field!

Outstanding OWM.

Nothing like coming home after a long days work absolutely fried and sitting down on the computer to go on the TAB website and then being deep fried by the annoying scroll bars, betslips everywhere, not knowing if I have put the bet on or not.... I feel for the oldies who must be flummoxed by it all.

To add more to my plate....daughter opened a TAB account today and told me to put my money in, have a few bets, make her some money by next Monday so she can have a good O week in Dunners. Never had so much faith put in me. Gotta love that kid. Just not sure about the 'my' money bit. Flattery does create a gentle mist in the eyes so I will do it. Brodie, if you want to be a legend at Otago University (and save my arse at the same time because I have not been studying at all) and be the toast of flat O week. Post a tip ,brother.

Stablehands would be smokin....hot

Terry Clark's horses would go good... He would fit in well in the harness game.

Real busy. I hate it. Rather be talking shite on here and throwing out garbage tips as usual lol.

Good lord, Brodie....?

I will retire now.

Should drift.

Mad Lu Li at 10FF // Mr Midnight at 6FF // Melody Pond at 6FF They should all go well and could be higher tote.

Johnny Eyre.

Couldn't give a shit about what is says about me. She was the one who caused carnage in countless people's lives and I get blamed. Fuck that is familiar. Just shows you are an apologist. Admirable but naive. No more comment from me.
