  1. Obviously never been out there in a Raceday situation, IMHO, P Wakelin did nothing wrong.
  2. Well done mate for labelling that before the event 👍
  3. I believe there was a run there for her to take and if there had been no pressure from the outside, she certainly could’ve kept her feet.
  4. Guess that’s why you are the Chief Stipe, fit right in there.
  5. I agree with all the above. In today’s society, HRNZ/RIB should be mitigating all factors to provide a safe working environment, something that blatant should be severely penalised. Liken it to rugby where the head is sacred etc, etc, need to be some deterrent. The thing is it was a deliberate act of Blair’s considering his vast experience.
  6. I was surprised he was able to keep that race, P Wakelin’s horse would still be here if he hadn’t of changed ground so harshly. Apparently you can from now on, dangerous president.
  7. $2.5k and suspension for MP for more than a wrist flicking action, was definitely coming from above shoulder height with a few. That’s called taking one for the team. Still think best horse won but would he if just being flicked?See Majestic Cruiser’s earplug cord broke so he’s gone real good as well.
  8. Both right: Our Mana & Col deFilippi Norton stopped HD
  9. Can’t get back to NZ 😎.
  10. Disagree strongly with that idea NON. TAB is turnover based so the more people win, the better the return and they reinvest.
  11. Which brings up a far bigger issue. Time to get rid of standing starts? Except for the NZ Cup maybe? Even? Victoria has, and to no detriment to them. In todays hustle and bustle, instant gratification society, I’d say yes. Fair start for everybody.
  12. Never condemn a horse till it’s 6ft in the ground. Credit where credit’s due, it put the odd rough one in up the straight as well when he went for it but who knows it any better than the owner trainer. Good on him 👍
  13. Racing is all hindsight anyway, could’ve, should’ve, would’ve, sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn’t, that’s life. It’s what’s wrong with a lot of the PC brigade nowadays, want everything to be perfect and want to blame someone.
  14. Exactly my point Chief, HRNZ as the controlling body set the rules. Don’t we want to make racing more exciting?
  15. Might as well race in lanes all the way then. What bollocks. Its called racing for a reason, accept the challenge or you don’t. HRNZ don’t help themselves with pathetic decisions such as this. Least these two boys were having a go. Start looking back in the field for the ones that aren’t.
  16. Love your sarcasm there Brodie Pot calling the kettle black right there. ps well done Forbs anyway
  17. C’mon Gammalite, King of Swing as well….Phar Lap comes to mind….and pavlova.
  18. I’ve always found Oamaru a really pleasant place to be, by the sea, neat old buildings, a bit going on, nice topography, and Fleur’s Place at Mairaki, terrific seaside restaurant, could be anywhere in the world. 👍
  19. The main take here is not the turmeric Ragamuffin but the use of a syringe on race day. Should be easy enough to avoid I would of thought.
  20. Why you want to live on that island of snakes and snake oil salesman is beyond me Gammalite. Now it’s monsoon season! Remember seeing the floods when Suncorp Stadium was under water, unbelievable. Best of luck in whatever you’re doing.
  21. He won a couple of these did that man from Kerrytown Trojan?
  22. Yeah mikeynz, looks like RM Cameron stance there, possibly Alistair Kerslake’s colours, Bionic Star?
  23. Hondo’s Dream the best E Cowie had, I think he was free legged. Hard man but good bloke.
  24. As Bob Cameron use to say, it’s up to the outside guy to take the race track off you, as the leader you either accept it or you don’t. I think the inside horse has right of way every time. And what’s wrong with a battle, it’s called racing after all. Better than some of the tame contests we get sometimes.
