"it’s an offence to send messages and post material online that deliberately cause serious emotional distress" Does being a called a retard and being compared to a sexual predator who tried to buy a girl online count because I disagreed with a person over a name? I think there is a hint of hypocrisy somewhere here.

This is a very weird development. Website still has his name but information in it does not. It says Cran is now a stablehand. Does a stablehand not need to be licensed? Does anyone really believe he is just a stablehand? I wonder what the owners think of this whole situation. Cran has stepped aside the lead training role this season and guides Nathan and Chrissie through their paces from an unfamiliar position of stablehand. It took wife Chrissie all of a couple of days to find the winning touch, so his advice obviously taken on board as debut pacer Lovesomewhere (Somebeachsomewhere – Linda Lovegrace) claimed his first win at Addington last Sunday.

You don't get this kind of entertainment at Addington in the big city. Oamaru to host Kurow Cup The Golden Fleece Hotel Kurow Cup will highlight the Kurow Harness Racing Club meeting at the Oamaru racecourse on Sunday August 16. The first race is at 12pm, entry is free and there’ll be free face painting and balloon twisting for the kids.

NZ Herald lol. Deluded.

And this man advises racing people in regards to the legal action?

What a thoroughly enjoyable read. All those he has targeted over the years must take satisfaction in this decision.

Me too. Strange feeling. All quiet on that front. You don't grow confidence with silence.

Poor old Franco Hatton won't know what hit him in this field. He needs to be at Kurow and it goes to show the double act at Addington doesn't suit many horses or trainers. Long Live Alexy

I needed to check if there was anything worth investigating for a bet on Friday night. There is not much in my sphere so the outlay will be a mighty $0. Sunday noms look a bit better. I see the All Stars are off to Invercargill. Do some study on Race 3 and give me the winner.

You are an exceptionally positive person Rusty.

Looks like a results page!

And what kind of person comes on here calling people retards and inferring I am on the dark web? Which is not very pleasant considering the news lately. I come on here to talk harness racing using the name of a special horse, just like Noodlum, what is the harm in that? I will continue to post but you just don't need to read mine or reply to them. Easy.

He shouldn't reply as you don't have a name but surprisingly took the praise from Mr Rangatira easily.

and?

Honeys Son needs to have its 'one run' timed to finish at the winning post because once it has done its dash it just goes rough as guts and basically gives up. Needs a change in driving tactics that horse.

I always thought your name was Popeye.

To be fair we would need to see this.

There are no rules.

Hugh Bowman has the attention of the animal welfare people at the moment I think. It is just over the top fining these people for next to nothing. Disqualify the horse it runs in the first 4 and is hit over 10 times. If you are going to have the rule enforce it properly. Off course, that would turn people off betting on harness by losing a bet for the number of strikes and we can't have that can we.

The 6 horses inside are more chance one would think. I just don't get how they open it at 5.50. Build a Bridge at 14s would be a better winning chance from the draw than it.

One for you to explain, Brodie. Faith No More in the second opened at 5.50FF and now 5FF. Best finish is a 6th place. What is going on there?

Revenue for the course if it happens but I doubt it will because of the resident's views.

Can you explain this fully. I don't understand.

I have a hole in my punting boat at the moment so can anyone assist? I see Tim Williams is on Zambia for the first time tomorrow and I am looking forward to the Missalyssa battle with Vacation Hill. Could it be a day for the underdogs in Four Starz Shirazz and Sonic Reign?

Even though I support the concept, the rule itself is an arse.
