  2. You think this neddy's continuing success would be written in lights at the Fairdale Studs 'Marketing Department' right? Poor Dunc must have been busy az that year...doing everything but...organising The 'preferred' requested mating...haha ...who hasn't organised a mating and then got mixed up with someone who looks slightly better under hidden lighting though? “You talk about the science of breeding and you send a mare to one horse and then you get a horse like this. I sent the mare in the first place and got Victory Drive, who was by Nom De Jeu, and sent her back to him again and she missed,” Preston said. “I thought oh well, I’ll try a change and send her to Fully Fledged. Duncan Fell had a blank and when I got the bill it was to Nom De Jeu. “I even thought of calling the horse Dunc’s Mistake or something like that, but thought I’d better not. I’ve sent a few messages to Duncan’s father Gerald and said don’t you forget to thank him again for me.
  3. This so called 'Independent Views...Hot Topics'...self titled Telly... Plummeted to new lows last week....and as usual...anything BUT...HOT or INDEPENDENT.... So dear Emily...bless her...EVERYONE loves her and she's as nice as apple pie...with whipped cream... But she's NOT Independent....HOT yes...but not as in TOPIC.... So the previous week 'Producer' Merry Ann Tweenymen...got good old Opee in...Dear Emm's Hubby.... Guerin...who definitely thinks he's HOT....was there as well....he then proceeded to lick Opee's shoes for the entire show and then possibly post show...wtf knows what happened...but I'm gagging at the thought.... Then a rapid cross to a bloke called 'BABE' at the yearling sales....wtf the Kraka sales has to do with a Racing Review show is anyone's guess... ...where Hot Guerin asked Brent 'The Babe' Thompson "just how f in good is Opee"? well...10 Guesses what The Baby face said... "Great, Legend, Blarrrrrdy Marrrrvellous, Absolutely f in the Best..." Give yaself 50 pats if you guessed any of those... Oh but wait there's more..the previous week old Jockey Agent Sweenz was on.... He had the BARE FACED AUDACITY to criticise Gryllsy for causing interference...NOT HIS JOCKEY of course... ...would he have dished up the dirt on his own Jockey? Yea and Na to that... ...But of course he brought up the 4 Whip violations in the Cup and Thorndon...right?? Because that's a HOT Topic...right? YEA NA...not a dickeybird of a mention Oh...have we mentioned last weeks SACCHARIN FINGER...THROAT...DOWN....program yet? We don't need to...Rodley was on...Opee's agent.... ...and he and Emm's pummelled Opee's LEGEND status to SACCHARIN STRATOSPHERIC heights....yuck This week it'll be Te Arkow getting even more pumping The Mormon Tabarncle Choir will be shipped in from the local Tabancle in the Tron...to give us a souped up sugar sweet version of How GREAT Thou Art...Davo and Karyn WEIGH IN...who needs artificial Aspartame when you've got THE real thing Sickly sweet, back slapping ass spanking telly.... enjoy
  4. You're a tuff marker koppa...and having a dickhead like the shru agreeing with you says it all... Moi's modi operandi...is to go straight to the sauce... Email your concerns to the Big Cheese...has Butch taken over yet? Or just Email Karyn directly....she still Chair there?
  5. They had Jocks on who were DESPERATE to win at all costs... ILLEGALLY
  6. The other thing the RIU's 'investigation' forgot to 'investigate' Was the Red Light's failure to 'light up'.... ...the fact many Jockeys didn't hear the 'siren'...J Mak included.... ...and after this modern 'tech' MASSIVELY FAILED... Where was the COTC...on his horse..with a red flag? Even an old fella in a white coat...with a red flag... that they used to have? Like old Blighty still has...bless her
  7. RUBBISH back at ya koppa... Makka is as apolitical as Wally the Walrus... He has massive gravitas within all codes and was a masterful appointment...wtf up
  8. The term is well known...and not meant to be taken literally aqua.... it's analogous to stale, boring old farts waiting for the pensioner home...like the shruw up above.... But now that you mention it just look at the New Grneration of BGP.... See many Asian faces? THE number one 'Punting' race of races...If were talking 'race' In fact look at the Ellerslie marketing program...and start off with their Video marketing... See any dark skinned...Maori, Polynesian, Asian faces? What about the Industry's commitment to celebrating the Year of the Rat for instance..and the rats poster Boyz...Bazz and the shruw Its a MASSIVE population base that Ellerslie simply ignores... Used to have the Chinese Race Day...got rid of it...and maintained the Irish Race Day Yea...brilliant marketing right there...absolutely massive Irish population in Auckland... yea
  9. Oh sorry...should have said in NSW...f it... So Oz has a new set of young go get em Bookie types....ready to set the Racing World alight in NSW... Mark Alati is his name and he's BIG on Social Media with Gen X, Y and Zee with some new ideas to get PUNTERS back on track... ...meanwhile here in boring az f NZ....it's a bunch of old white men doing the same old stuff.... Imagine if you will...a Boyz wearing Plaid group every weak...and Girls in Lace.. ....punting along to a bunch of on course Bookies creating massive betting interest? ...and NZTR coming to the party....by insisting on Minimum Winning Bets limits....as they have in Oz... ...While our Girls Blouse TAB Bookies...sorry girls... BAN WINNERS...Or reduce bets to a Sparrows Fart limit... How the f is that allowed?
  10. Here's a brill idea... Get Gripper to ask Scooter...(sounds like potential kids show characters...or Keystone Kops scenario)... ...if he's all set to take the Big Red Flashing Hood off Red Riding Hood...then "Are we good to go Scooter"? CERTAINLY NOT the RIU's rubber stamping of "last one coming up...oops twose too many...Im confused"
  11. Please stop your nonsense now... This is about the RIU's acceptance and rubber stamping of a MASSIVE FAIL in Protocols... A Group race where Australians were watching and observing the catastrophic breakdown of basic Starting Shit 101... NZ were a laughing stock around the World and local trainers like David Greene...who missed a vital lead up race with his late scratching ...wanted a post race Blue Print going forward... When it was already in print The Starter's Manual... Written to PREVENT the BULLSHIT that eventuated... ...but circumvented by the Starters and RIU...in cahoots
  12. What's this...scotch mist? Its written in Sanskrit as well...so even a basic understanding only is required...ffs A minimum of eight Barrier Attendants shall work every race meeting in New Zealand unless authorised by the Stipendiary Stewards. This number can include the designated Assistant Starter and official Starter.
  13. Irrelevant....but it's 6 plus the Starter and Assistant...Boxing Day had 12/13 didn't they? Plenty enough anyway....Scooter even had one over there ready to take the Bright Red Flashing one off...that Gripper couldn't see... THE point is....blindingly simply obvious... If Gripper had've obeyed the Manual..we wouldn't be spanking the RIU
  14. Scary Spooky...VERY RIU @riuorgnz An independent organization charged with managing the integrity issues within the three New Zealand racing codes. (this medium is an information service only) Auckland, New Zealandriu.org.nzJoined August 2015 0 Following 666 Followers
  15. As usual you're making little sense.. It's a STANDARD document on how to do things correctly....throughout the World... Why can't you get you're head around "ALL CLEAR"? PINMEDOWN with a Big Flashing Red Hood still on....waiting for Scooter to Whip it off.... Gripper oblivious to the Red FLASHING Riding Hood... Rubber stamped by the HOPELESS RIU who knew they were IGNORING the tried and true process of the Starting Manual... That's the POINT...get it?
  16. Just how good is McKenzie though... The Guerin interview on Way In showed how much time and effort Mak and his fellow Board have devoted to the cause... ....Simply outstanding leadership on a very difficult journey for the Industry
  17. Maybe they're not all robots?? wtf knew? Even homosapians behave uniquely...be it from past abusive experiences or perceived imagined ones.... ...perhaps Winxy ran with a big yearling mob and learnt to take gaps without fear?
  18. What a load of tosh bazzo.... What you 'Speed stats' spruikers can't get your collective munter heads around... ..is the FACT 'speed stats' are infected by a viral condition called 'can't get my munter head around compensating for wide without cover et f in el' In plain Engrish...a career best performance...after maturing...possibly after Xmas...with Blinkers added...wide without cover ...is TOTALLY ignored by your 'speed stats'.... ....but NOT MOI's Comprendez mofo?
  19. So finally the HOPLESS RIU found time to 'investigate' the CO Auckland Cup DEBACLE where Gripper failed to listen to Scooter "are we there yet" Or.."ALL CLEAR"...as required by the World renowned 'Starters Manual' Thoroughbred Racing's BLUE PRINT... Exactly the words David Greene used when asking for a way forward when his runner was late scratched...and Futures PUNTERS...did their MONEY STONE COLD... "All we want is a BLUE PRINT for going forward" Greene asked... Turns out the BLUE PRINT was there ALREADY...called The Starters Manual...but we knew that Now this is where the HOPELESS RIU's 'investigation' takes a rapid turn downhill to F IN HOPELESS.... You see when this exact same thing happened back in April at Avondale...the HOPELESS RIU's 'investigation' said... "The Starters failed to follow the Starters Manual in requiring the Assistant Starter to issue an "all clear" So instead of reminding the Starters of their obligation to follow the Manual...as indeed happened when reminding the Starters of a False Start situation that up to 2 runners are able to be ignored when a false Start's declared... ...see today's report The HOPELESS RIU simply accepted these 2 Northern Starters wanted to do the procedure their way... ...i.e. "Last runner coming up" and therefore TOTALLY against the Starters Manual of requiring 2 sets of eyes to assess the situation of runners readiness and "ALL CLEAR" from the Assistant... To summarise...The HOPELESS RIU accepted the Northern Starter's were breaking the Manual's Protocols for the Assistant's "ALL CLEAR"... ...but didn't allow the starter's idea of their 'False Start' protocol...reminding them to "follow the Manual" Read and weep then...the SOLE reason the Debacle occurred was due to the incompetence of the RIU in failing to insist Starters follow ALL aspects of the Starting Manual Protocols... Auckland Racing Club - Wednesday 1 January 2020 posted Feb 1, 2020, 10:14 PM by Veronica Algar [ updated Feb 1, 2020, 10:14 PM ] Race 8 - SkyCity City Of Auckland Cup (Group 3) An inquiry has been concluded into the circumstances surrounding a false start being declared after a start to this race was effected when one runner, being the horse PINMEDOWN, had yet to be loaded into its barrier stall. The finding of the investigation was that the Starter Mr T Harrison in pressing the start button had failed to obtain an all clear (that the final runner had been loaded, all gates were closed and a start may be effected) from the Assistant Starter as required in the NZTR Starter’s Manual and in addition had failed to follow a previous direction of the Stipendiary Stewards that in a circumstance involving one or two runners the race should be allowed to proceed with those runners able to be declared non-starters. Mr Harrison was initially stood down from further starting duties and as he has subsequently resigned from his position as Starter employed by a number of Northern Region Clubs the Stipendiary Stewards will be taking no further action.
  20. So...took all Morning to read this after a weekend bender... Apols accepted... IMO...just in case readers are thinking I know EVERYTHING FACT..Chip hasn't had many neddys to the races at all....largely a pre trainer until now Experienced race day trainers like Jammie Richards know what gear to use and when...4/5 of his last Kraka Million night wins...have had gear added... So basically the whole field charged the gates...this could have been due to the new Starter not fully pressing the button...or a horse charging the gate setting off the rest... Chip thought it was C charging...and then on the back foot...even though all the others similarly got on the back foot as well... If he was charging and SOLELY the cause...then he's become unsettled from seeing peripheral movement without having Blinkers On... IMO ...he needs them back on to negate that possibility...and also the very real fact that Blinker wearers bounce better with concentration enhancers applied BLINKERS... Case in point...Prix De Fer now 5 in a row since having them re Applied... As mentioned previously wrt his sectionals...he had an absolutely clear run..ridden for luck...in a small field...it was like a parting of the Red Sea... Clearly the horse is exceptional....but it'd be a big mistake to not put Blinkers back on and take advantage of all that has to offer...up against top class opposition... ....why not try them off..if he fails?
  21. Hilarious stuff... Aside....from the FACT vastly experienced professional Handicappers know that's a crock.... ...your buddy says it equals 0.1L....that's a whole lotta jot... ...when Seth beat the Crock in the G 1 by a nasel hair...he gets a KG for that as well jot that up
  22. So the CRAZY SW&F ALL penalty conditions kick in CATALYST has to carry a KG more than the Crock... ...what a crock
  23. Don't lay, never laid...EVER...bazzy ...and Ive had more offers than an inked up Bogan munter gets on a Friday night down da Tron's main alleyway... I merely alerted said possibilities that could have befallen a first time run at HQ sans Hood.... ...and he was as slow as your 'investments' when they're under scrutiny and tallied up...coming out the gates... ..which should self correct itself again...with the Hood back on...ok?
  24. Cant you read? If a THOROUGHBRED can't perform as well without the Whip... It follows the genuine horse trying it's Heart out...WITHOUT BEING WHIPPED...will become superior performers... ....and go on to breed...with superior Black Type in its pedigree
  25. Still larfing bazzo... This would take the cake as one of your best yet..and you've come up with some doozies.... "The analysis that Curious and I did which pitted the price much higher than the TAB & many others clearly left out many of the other strong form indicators that had him at a very short price." What, like CATALYST being the fastest neddy in the race...basic shit like that? Leave the old fella alone bazz...
