  1. All in Globe...... Good luck.
  2. I'm exhausted but looking forward to Oamaru on Tuesday and then a day or two off!
  3. 4 suits and a latte?
  4. ? One can't catch ones breath but I will kick it off. Quite Ideal (place at 3.70ff) with Beau Vista (place at 4.00ff) 2 Grass trackers from Canterbury making the effort to go down and take the spoils. 20 multi for $296
  5. I agree, Brodie. Saw it, Screwed my face up. Moved on.
  6. If I was younger I would like to be a stipe. I would try to do more than just look good in a suit. Just dreaming but no joke.
  7. I need to stop thinking I am Nostradamus and just stick to my Greek Orthodox betting style. Conservative.
  8. Somebody will be very happy. As Newmarket said Joe Kidd. Welcome aboard. Now, you just keep those winners coming or Flag will be off to Echuca mid week gallops with an easybet again to find a winner ?
  9. Watering the track fully might help. Mecca experienced a dust storm in the first.
  10. Someone got 5 50ff. I think it opened at. Was that you? ?
  11. Ain't that the truth!
  12. I am waiting for the day I hear from Mark McNamara..... 'and XX has dashed clear by 6 and I can hear the TAB in Wellington crumbling under yet another Brodster induced earthquake of unrestricted returns...XX bolts in....the man is on the money yet again' I would pay to hear that.
  13. WAP doing a fine job on that thread on RC. He will be banned soon enough. The badge of honour.
  14. I always think it will go well this time and win but invariably doesn't. One of those horses that sucks me in. Away from the Addington grit so maybe today is the day. Especially if it drifts on the tote to 8 or something similar.
  15. Yes, we had a few mushrooms to spice things up before he prayed at the All Stars Wailing Wall... (sorry, Iraklis. Just joking. You should come over here to BOAY if you are sick of P4P and RC Newmarket)
  16. I thought Alvira Hest went better than it head to head at Addington last start. Odds difference between the 2 is undeserving.
  17. Race 1 Questor was 91FF and 8 50FF but I will only take the tote place odds at about 15s, I hope. Race 3 Myth or Reality at 41FF and 6.20FF Yes I have been on the holy juice and smoking the shisha pipe (extra strength) this early but why not. I have wailing in my head....Mecca is calling. Machsgain on the tote for a more 'orthodox' bet later in the day when I have some Moussaka.
  18. Well, where does one start. Form line is probably just as important as the breaking : 2;P;9;7;2;13;14 It is a trotter so can pretty much break all it wants. The fact it goes out near enough favourite every start and it had a second three starts ago helps too so they may take the attitude the breaking comes with the territory with Scarlett Banner. A key factor which I can't answer is whether or not Scarlett Banner interferes with other horses when it breaks. That can draw more attention to it. The pacing is more of an issue. It should be required to trial satisfactorily (trot the whole way) If it is pacing as the punters are not getting a fair go. A trotter should be trotting! As for the stipes, I joke about the 'Beragio rule' where he broke 8 times in a row and they did nothing but that is about the standard they set. Breaking is not really on their radar. Probably requires too much follow up work etc so they can't be bothered. I see Andrew Stuart's horse Phoenix Arizona got a warning after only 2 breaks in a row. Even though its third to last start was a win from a stand! And Thornley can drive the way he did at Oamakau on Balraj and nothing is even asked yet then someone else can do the same and get hammered. I am confused. As an aside, Scarlett Banner is another horse the TAB really love as there is always money on it but no sane punter would touch it with a stipes report like what she has. Consistency? Don't hold your breath.
  19. You better do your 5 prayers before the first race then globe. We are at Mecca after all.
  20. 2000m is well below his best distance of 2 miles but I expect big things. TAB will open him at 1.60FF?
  21. geez....unlucky
  22. Tidy, Very tidy. Mr Flag.
  23. I will wait for the harness racing mecca of Timaru tomorrow.
  24. I have nothing to offer. Racing at the Rox is like watching Ruapuna. Crazy-arse handle bars down attitude and watch out for those tight turns.
