  1. I will just go back to studying the horses and not wasting my time talking about it all ?
  2. Cool. And one of mine is people who bend over backwards for toxic people who cause upset to others with no consequences. I am qualified. I have been on the end of it. You don't need much more qualification than that. Until you have been there you have no idea. Who said she had all 3? But they do overlap in some shape or form. Certainly the narcissism and borderline. And she did have one, I can assure you of that. Yeah. But these kinds of people don't want to hear it. They leave before all their secrets and horrible deeds get found out. They move on. Unfortunately, I was a casual spectator for years until I bore the brunt of it. Only then do you see how they operate fully. It is similar on here. A person causes grief for others and they are a protected specie. That is what toxic people do. They make themselves seem like the victim and will do anything to perpetuate that myth. Simply put, bullies need to be stood up to but if you want to have freedom of speech that is fine. Great even. But all it does is provide a platform for toxic trolls to spin their shit and wreck it for the majority. Stop protecting the instigator.
  3. You wouldn't have a fucking clue.
  4. You are the type who these people love. An apologist till the end of time. Have fun with thomass and your site.
  5. Well, fuck you too. People are trying to make you see sense but you won't. Good luck.
  6. And the absolute giveaway? NO empathy at all. None. They could have just killed someone and they couldn't care. Disordered people are sociopaths. Holy shit, I think I need to have a bet lol.
  7. It is tough to label them. They cross over so much I reckon. I settled on BPD as the illness. Money issues, promiscuity, gaslighting and lying..... They are toxic. Just like Thomass. If they set out to destroy something they will. They will turn people against each other. Lie and muddy the waters so much you won't know which way to turn. When I asked rational questions of Thomass earlier in thread he didn't show a sane response. Just abuse.....funny that. Some people will escape their clutches, some will stand up to them but eventually they will crumble as the NPD, borderline or whatever never runs out of energy. They feed off it making them stronger. You can't win. Any posters on feel like shit after reading or responding to someone's posts? Feel confused and like your reality is destroyed? If you do you are getting a minor taste of it. That is why a destructive poster should be banned. Even if they resurface under a different name they still need to go. One can't win. I know this site won't win either. I know this shit from hard experience.
  8. Princess of Destruction. She had many names for her multiple personalities!
  9. Have you ever heard of Borderline Personality Disorder? If you haven't, you are one lucky soul. Like a narcissist on steroids. She was compelling but off the charts. People like that lie and impart pain like nothing else on earth. They never take responsibility for their actions and do not care who they hurt. They manipulate. Your galloping poster seems to be on the spectrum lol. I escaped! I dare you to read up on BPD.! But I have learnt there is only one way to deal with people like these who have no consideration for others - Get rid of them or the whole thing comes crashing down. Never thought I would be sharing this on BOAY!! ? Free speech etc is good for 95% of the population but the other 5 will wreck it for everyone. Hence my earlier comments on this thread.
  10. Sorry, didn't see that. HRNZ are normally quite good. Might still be on holiday. Poor form to leave it this long.
  11. Ever dated a female with it? It is the craziest shit ever. They will never change, never see wrong, never admit to anything and quite happily watch the whole ship sink. Only thing to do it is to get rid of them before they destroy you. If you have a poster with it then watch out. Baiting and provoking is part of their M.O and they love the drama. The more the merrier.
  12. Is it this or this an old one?
  13. Is it because of the pool amounts? Could you argue the person should have bet into the Trifecta pool and not the First Four pool?
  14. I might add we are West Berlin ☺️
  15. And they are obsessed with Brodie. It is give and take all round. We as bad as each other ? FTM is no saint. It is a similar situation to the Berlin Wall. We both just happen to lob grenades over the wall at each other now and again.
  16. Mind boggling indeed. I have said this before but when I went to Melton I was shocked at the conditioning of the horses, far from representative I know but gave me an inkling of why Kiwi breds clean up. Were many all stars horses?
  17. Might be missing the grass of methven ?
  18. Fair enough about the multis but you are spending 4 figures so that puts you in a different league. Completely agree about the motivation etc. The sport itself plays a large part in it for me. Are you comfortable betting large in football with the 3 options of win, draw or lose?
  19. I would consider myself knowledge about many sports but it is very hard to make money unless you are take a lottery bet like first try scorer or margins. When I bet on sports I consider it just for fun. There are even more variables than the harness horses.
  20. This freely available article on twitter might have been written before 'The Balls of Blenheim' climbed on to his roof.... I think the cows cows are somewhat inconsequential. I hate the caravans, motorhomes and tents that actually block the view of the race at many meetings over the summer. That is far more distressing to me. Surely the TAB would act over that but no, so I don't think a few cows will worry them. If we are talking about the presentation of the racing game then also start with the North American rubbish that is only good for Colombian druglords sanitizing their money. Also, If we are serious about the presentation of harness racing, start at the top of tree and not the bottom. Leave Wyndham alone and take on the top guns. TURN IT UP! MONDAY SERMON 21/1/19 Posted by Jonny Turner | Jan 21, 2019 | Featured, Harness No week in horse racing journalism is ever the same. It never ceases to amaze me what surprises will be thrown up. This week, I was rather surprised at some of the rhetoric that followed a tweet I put up with some thoughts from the Messara Report. Have a look… View image on Twitter It is not hard to see why this tweet got a reaction. It is critical of the management of the Wyndham racecourse. I expected some would not appreciate that criticism. And that is certainly fair. The cattle on the inside of the track are most likely owned by the Wyndham Harness Racing Club. It is likely they will be sold and those funds will benefit harness racing. I appreciate that more than most, having been on a committee of a club that runs a similar operation. It is hard to be critical of any volunteer organisation that works for the betterment of racing. But, in this case, I had to make my point. Surprisingly, this was not the main point of contention to come from the tweet and photo. Instead, most comments were attacks on John Messara and the legitimacy of his report. I found that astounding. Anyone who questions Messara’s knowledge of racing must be seriously ill-informed. I do not need to repeat all of his accomplishments in racing, they simply speak for themselves. If you are not familiar, go and have a look at the state of racing in New South Wales, where he headed major reform. Questioning the legitimacy of the Messara Report is an argument many harness racing participants can identify with. I absolutely can understand that. Quite simply, it is an absolute disgrace that the report focused on thoroughbred racing and not the other codes. Many voters in this country will have their suspicions about why that has happened. For them it is pretty clear-cut. And it is a pretty compelling argument. The reality is that the political landscape that led to the commissioning of the report is not set to change any time soon. The reality is the Messara report is here to stay. My experience this week is that because of this harness racing people simply do not want to have anything to do with it. I have a much different take the situation. Of course, the report was not what harness racing wanted and it has several contentious suggestions in it. So, harness racing leadership needs to be stronger than ever to enact change during the consultation process. Simply saying the report is not fair and not worth the paper it is written on will not achieve anything. While the report makes specific recommendations for thoroughbred racing, many of those apply to the other codes. And one of the many, many points it makes is the presentation of the product. Harness racing is a television product. At most meetings there is only a tiny number of spectators that are not at the races working – trainers, stablehands, etc. The presentation of this television product has to be inviting for punters, especially overseas. If it looks a bit shabby or amateur people will be discouraged to bet on it. The scenes shown on television are harness racing’s shop window. They are selling the product and inviting people to invest. So, while I admire any club working voluntarily to raise money by farming the inside of their track, they may have to think more about what they can do to make their track have a more professional look on television. It’s probably a ten-minute job to move those cattle. Perhaps those who actually care about harness racing should be asking what am I going to push for change during the report’s consultation process. Or are you just going to complain about it?

  21. Oh flag... I'm speechless
  22. You not only back losers...you attract losers as well....? What is going on Flag? Take the missus down to the TAB next time and she might appreciate you more as she will be comparing you to the clientele... Next time you say you off to the TAB you will be as free as a bird!
  23. I don't trust it much though. The Kerr runner Pay Me Swiss went from 61 to 71 to 51 on Saturday night without any other movement in the field. I can't understand that as it ended up at 21s so was consistently backed in. Why would it go up initially? They can lower the amount as much as they want to signify a betting plunge but as has been pointed out it can only a couple of dollars. As for the rest of it, I don't like how I can't see the full field on the computer screen. Do I really have to zoom in each time to get it. I miss the old racing page which was simple. I also find I have to scroll up an down a lot for the fields and then next to it the multis and bets. Also annoying is how the most recent race is at the bottom of the list. Necessitates more movement. Like, FU, the betslip is still there and I am not sure if I have put the bet on so have to go look. Apart from that JK, I love it. ?
  24. Thank you.
  25. Can anyone out there tell me what days Kaikoura is racing this year?
