  1. Why was the Starter officially reprimanded then? And you still refuse to acknowledge how easy it would have been to follow the Manual by simply looking at his Assistant and waiting to hear him say CLEAR Wtf is so hard about that?
  2. What's worse "dickhead" or his "low life scum"...which you aided and abetted...wake up Alors...it'd be like ignoring ERA's in Baseball Investing... Knowing certain areas of a track will FUNDAMENTALLY affect a horses OVERALL chance if their accepted running placement has been identified before a race... Its simply basic 101 punting shit this...like knowing an on pace runner at HQ is going to be covering extra ground over 1200M The only mug in this would be encouraging VALUE investing on rails runners when the outside 2/3 widths has been accepted and acknowledged throughout every race meeting there in the past 5 years ..and your mates did just that...total IDIOCY Is that acceptable Judas?
  3. Of course I have ...wake the f up Whanganui is the extreme case in point... The rail is an absolute DEATH TRAP on an H11...probably a Puggy S 9 as well 2/3 Width on the outer rail is the fast lane...ask Sweenz...he's seen the readings Even your dickhead mate mali says they should be provided What does that make you?
  4. Cmon kids...this is nappy wearing stuff That TIPPING MASTERCLASS was fully explained Just posting a whole lot of 'tips', as you girls do, is simply an ass slapping exercise to massage your massive egos... ...if you fluke one once in a blue moon...I can sense the intense orgasmic pride.. ..which admittedly makes me want to be with the Princess all of a sudden... But it's self indulgent b/s Alors...My tipping is to EDUCATE and EXPLAIN.... ...something about fishes for a day providing self flagellation gift relief...... ....when I'm providing the MEANS to venture to paradise....possibly with virgins involved...if you're religious
  5. I'm not sure why some of you folk fail to understand how PUNTERS need to know if the RAIL is off... Why did the Breeders Cup decide to publish readings this year I wonder?? Makes a nice side show for Mathmatician Parties perhaps? Track Managers need to know...if their irrigation has been evenly distributed for example.... ....yet the PUNTER who keeps this game going doesn't? Please explain
  6. Soz Fish...that had nothing to do with you smokin'... Do you agree with the 18 month limit..then one day nek minute NOTHING though?
  7. Really...and that's got to do with the rail being off...How? Only 2 won inside Barrier 5 and one NOT SANTA stayed 3/4 widths off the entire journey...as indeed they endeavoured to do all day..
  8. That's right Fish...it's a tragic JOKE of a system 3kg's for a G 1...within 18 Months....18 months and one day?? NOTHING... Only a dickhead who goes to dope smoking mardigras could come up with such a crazy mofo concept
  9. Ravioli of course...loves a massive Pizza Hut all you can eat day! But seriously...MASSIVE appointment for the new Greenfields project to get his maulers into..rather than pasta... And now he's back in the Mighty Wakatoo...not only back on the Whakachungas... ..but also WEIGH IN!! Has always says it how it is...with no back patting and ass slapping like Guerin's into... Who cares if his arm pits drip with sweat.... ...at least he dribbles evenly
  10. Oh resorting to some Bush meeting at Gundy was it...Dogs at Dipton?? Just a wee REMINDER though Bi... Last 4 tips...2Tri's...a Q and WINNER... ...in ONE...170,000/1 return Guiness BOR stuff...under application... And yous fellas? Having to resort to hiding your 'tips' under a rock... ...tipping records...win/loss ratio?? Bazz tried twice...and FAILED miserably...good on him for putting the kahunas on the line though... Shame he became a Eunuch...only fit for Cleopatra's Boudoir
  11. And don't anybody ever forget... The reason the HOPELESS Northern Racing Services gave for leaving off the runner up's Barrier Blanket in last year's Derby....where IN A TWINKLING was slow out...first time in 6 starts since having the BB ...was the Club left the Field too long in the Birdcage.... ...but not a mention of Harrison ignoring the Manual's requirement that gear be listed on the Race Starters list... WHICH THEY DIDNT...just using the old memory eh? So if ANYONE at the HOPELESS Northern Race Day Services outfit blames the Club in any way over this... Its HOGWASH...ok?
  12. HILARIOUS stuff Bi.... I got on at 18's...you know the BO by now BLINKERS ON first time...extra units on fresh up...home course..with good Dead form... wtf knew some horses prefer certain courses uh? And Rochelle's a superb horseman.... And the Jammie trained Black Type performer...in a mid weak maiden... ...combined to DOUBLE the return... who knew a $2 shot could double the return eh? Even Bazz is copying the BP Multi strategy...poo pooed by Grassi though... ...but sshooo...don't tell him Bazz is doing Multi's or he'll go apoplectic ..here not there...cos you're not allowed apoplexy there...right? zzzzzz
  13. So Pete's exceptionally matey with Peters...good on him...who doesn't like a good old whiskey chaser truth serum?? PETE needs to get hold of Winn for the coming Karaka Mill night...imbibe him until he can't take it no more...then hit him with FACTS from Brain's article... ...so the DIA gets the hell out... We all lose unless the legislation is drastically changed or thrown out by Brian de Lore Published 10th January 2020 Whatever degree of decline you thought racing was in before December 5th, the entire future landscape of the racing industry changed for the worse on that date upon the release of the proposed legislation after its rubber-stamping by both Cabinet and Racing Minister Winston Peters. What this 100-page document is essentially saying is that racing is not capable of running itself, so here’s a Marxist left-wing decree that dismisses the majority of the recommendations of the Messara Review and negates the serious part of devolving control to the codes, and firmly grips the testicles of all three codes in a bureaucratic-DIA-operated vice. Winston: …positive reform and increased prizemoney – Yeah right! The message communicated to the racing people of New Zealand by our now Minister Winston Peters, both pre-election and for a year post-election, was that we would get positive reform, increased stakes money, and return to self-determination with racing people running racing. For a time, Peters and Racing were deeply in love. They became engaged to be married when the coalition government was formed in October 2017, and the relationship was developing marvellously until he met a new girl on the block named Rita. Now he’s in love with Dia, and as Princess DIAna once said, “three in a relationship becomes a little crowded.” Hardly surprising was it to learn that the engagement between Peters and Racing is now off, and a kiss and make-up reconciliation is looking unlikely. Peters isn’t speaking to Racing (failure to respond to any of The Optimist’s last nine texts is proof enough) and Dia is now the Minister’s sweetheart despite being not so attractive plus a pro-1917-Russian Revolutionist, Marxist supporting and bourgeoisie hating, gender-neutral, dunce. There’s no accounting for taste, but it is what it is! The latest speculation is that Winston’s are now firmly gripped in a DIA operated vice on the workbench, but that can’t be confirmed. What can be confirmed, as it is a matter of public record, is that Winston not only whispered sweet nothings in Racing’s ear but loudly declared his love and devotion to Racing when he made his speech to launch the Messara Review at Claudelands on August 30, 2018. “We all know that so much of the legislation governing your industry was written, not for the industry’s benefit, but for the convenience of politicians and bureaucrats – you all know that, and all of us are to blame for allowing that to happen.” In that speech, Winston said: “We all know that so much of the legislation governing your industry was written, not for the industry’s benefit, but for the convenience of politicians and bureaucrats – you all know that, and all of us are to blame for allowing that to happen.” It just goes to show you that when you are in love, you will say anything to get your wicked way. Winston’s quote retrospectively is a reminder of famous 19th-century writer Nathaniel Hawthorne who once said, “No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the truth.” What we do know is the quote from Winston above from Claudelands is taken verbatim from his speech, but the legislation says the opposite. It is a document written by the bureaucrats for the politicians and the bureaucrats, and the only thing it will do for racing is retard it. We all lose unless this legislation is drastically changed or thrown out – racing loses the opportunity to distance itself from government control, and Winston loses all chance of keeping the racing vote. In the Minister’s speech on the Messara Review launch, he also said: “Tonight we set before you a liferaft of reform – it’s reform or die, there’s no off-course substitute. It wasn’t an exercise in ghost-writing for a ministerial office wish-list. What you have in these recommendations is a clear view of what needs to be done. We didn’t commission this report from an expert to strip it of its value. The status quo has an inevitable outcome – a sad, not happy one at that. As John Messara said in his introductory video, we have a chance to turn racing’s ominous present and future around.” It all sounded brilliant at the time, especially the bit about not commissioning an expert to do the report only to strip it of its value. But that’s exactly what’s happened – the expert discarded with advice taken from non-experts and the legislation written by the DIA with no industry knowledge. If adopted, racing will be exposed to further TAB board infiltration by sporting bodies looking for cash and the protestant groups – some of which would like to see racing banned altogether. Let’s say, Jacinda wins the October election and Labour can govern alone (God forbid), and she appoints as Racing Minister, a left-leaning, religiously motivated, animal rights sympathiser with beliefs fundamentally opposed to gambling. We know these people exist – they are out there waiting in the wings, Jacinda’s wings. People appointed to the TAB board are entirely the decision of the Minister of Racing under this proposed legislation – how could we possibly take that risk. In NSW under their legislation, Part 2, Clause 5 says: “Racing NSW does not represent the Crown and is not subject to direction or control by or on behalf of the Government.” Also, they have a selection panel for board appointees, and all the Minister has to do under the NSW system is approve the appointments. You can’t call what this New Zealand legislation is saying as ‘reform.’ It is ‘regression’ You can’t call what this New Zealand legislation is saying as ‘reform.’ It is ‘regression,’ and that will be Winston’s legacy to racing if it gets passed into law. The truest thing the Minister ever said to The Optimist in all our conversations was that he knew a whole lot more about politics than he did about racing. The Messara Review launch in its entirety from August 2018 is viewable on the Youtube video link below. Also listed at the bottom of this blog is a table containing 64 occasions within the proposed legislation in which the Minister has the power to intervene and make the final decision. Where is the Ministerial accountability in this episode of unfortunate events – it will be a disaster if racing rolls over and allows this legislation to proceed. If it does, then kiss the game goodbye, and if you are young enough, head for Australia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHeCTwClVcA&t=970s The word on the streets is that the three codes are united in their opposition to it, apart from Section 16 which, is about the distribution of the profits to each code for stakes. Unless they make a strong, combined, and unanimous protest to stop it, the writing will be on the wall. The Minister has to be convinced to stop listening to bad advice, dump DIA and resume his love affair with Racing, and be accountable for past promises. It’s an election year, and it’s hard to fathom why the Racing Minister wouldn’t keep faith with racing people and fix it. The socialists in the DIA are unlikely to vote for NZ First but nor will racing unless the Minister intervenes and simply does what he promised to do.

  14. And you and your 'mardy' may be inbred I'm picking... Im 'relating' my NICHES to ALWAYS having superior chance... ...You price EVERYTHING as if EVERYTHING has a chance..which clearly doesn't happen in normal life on Planet Earth...
  15. Try "low life scum"... Oh no...that was moi you were describing... The funniest thing is you're all so frightened you'll get exposed.. ..that the shrew Herman is tracking my ISP numbers just in case I sneak a look at your 'tips' Itd be hysterical if it wasn't so sad... Back under the rock son
  16. ANY purveyor of the BP knows I've CONSTANTLY talked value.... ..."incremental unit increase directly related to price" aka VALUE It was in Chapter 1 Verse 1 of THE BP Bible... ...and this Bible isn't a fairy tale
  17. Soz...should have said... CLUELESS... Both you and bi Curious wouldn't have the Racing knowledge to worry a horse tick... It also happened at the Otaki meeting this week.. the inside was a death trap... Contrary to your belief...horses can't have the gear option of including a gyrocopter on a Jockeys helmet... ..yet..it may happen?? Keep the faith then...
  18. Have you come to the "inadequate" part where it says... ..."the Starter MUST check with the Assistant FIRST before releasing the field" Or the other bit where it talks about 'False Start' procedures... ...which he also broke... And your obvious hero in this Mick I'm a back patting Industry hugger Guerin who said... ..."these minor mistakes" ??
  19. Maybe your dissertations included uneducated stuff such as "could of"...which is your 'de reguer'... ...and they came to the conclusion they were dealing with lightweights?
  20. WITLESS Who said a "small portion"? A punter...worth their salt...will adjust accordingly if they know a horse their investing on will MORE THAN LIKELY... ...have trouble getting off the INFERIOR ground Its basic Punting 101 shit FFS
  21. Have you rung up your mates at the RIU again? NEVER believe a WORD they say...believe me You can't bring yourself to admit if he'd followed the POLICY... ...by waiting for his Assistant to say "clear" It wouldn't have happened... But they NEVER folowed the Manual...as indeed they didn't when the very same thing occurred in April... And what's the point in having more than 8 on a weak day...with a max. 10 starters through a day?
  22. Oh yes of course it was... Like your MO of finding the 'on pace' strategy...then being completely flummoxed when it come to on pace courses such as Ruakaka...or Timaru
  23. Of course you can't... Your punting knowledge is pointless...period But that's what you get by plonking your ass in front of the telly trying to replicate the Life of Cats...with your leg in the air Heard of mapping?? ..handy...rail...locked in...no helicopter allowed...odds against getting off cop the f on
  24. Shirley's a good Tron Bogan name that I'm sure could resonate with Bazz.. Im more into Dio type woman like Penelope and the Charlottes...the odd Meghan if I want to change colours Now let's deal with UNDERBET My Modus Operandi when dealing with the BP is when a neddy is identified as part of the niches.... I hit the cooler and the Champagne section...and crack one open... ..when it's an Owner/Trainer in control...or a less popular stable... These horses are well and truely over the odds.... ...in fact very similar to Overseas form...the punting public aren't familiar with either the horse or its form... ...yet Aus/HK/Europe form is superior to ours Win/win...superior form back to inferior...yet UNDERBET ORAKEI OVERLORD was one of the best bets of the year when it won at 18's early on Superior MELBOURNE City form...Clotworthy...UNDERBET
  25. Can't you read.... Bazzo suggested an 'investment' strategy around Ted's tipping... #wakeup
