  1. Let's be fair though Kev... ...he's a Harness man who hasn't any idea about Thoroughbreds and that's why he didn't bother reading the new Whip rule before telling us how it works? Yesterday Earily took a big sigh..."ok let's get this sorted Mick" So Mick got it sorted "yes Pete...5 strikes before the 100M mark" Oh my...no mention of the fact they can't be consecutive strides... This from the man who said we had " a far better rule than Australia" before we changed to their rule #noidea
  2. And that's why you and Bazz can never win here...'investing' on the Whanganui rail when it's off is THE most stupid thing that you and Bazz have promoted...and there's been some doozies ..yet they're still "beauties"? Its nearly as stupid as Bazz 'investigating' place betting as an option when he was getting a run of 50 placings... ...and you were tolerating this nonsense thinking he's another mug you can take advantage of... Now take your potty mouth...and be off with you
  3. It has nothing to with your response...maybe he really is Dan O'Sullivan though..would that be funny? Ive never plagiarised in my life actually...I may have posted articles on various topics but clearly these would have been attributable.... Now...back in your hole...where free speech and challenging your nonsense isn't allowed... "if the rail's off at WANGANUI I'll be backing the rail" "I can't judge whether a neddy is a track specialist...in case a neddy who hasn't raced there likes it as well" Those gems...directly... non plagerised from you
  4. You've got to admire a good cartwheel...and what bloke didn't encourage all the girls at school it was a good pastime to pass longggg boring lunches...eh boys? Anyway the bloke who used to strap MB...who wears a smelly old hat around...24/7...even to awards evenings...and bed... ...obviously buys cheap Pant...from China made...witness
  5. You'll never win with this lot ATA! They've even resorted to plagiarism to make themselves appear more 'punting sophisticates'... A bloke called VC "Finche was very good again. His staying profile suggested that he may not be suited by a slower run race that required a fast sprint home and there was an element of truth to that. He couldn’t match Kings Will Dream’s turn of foot between the 400m and 150m, but he didn’t lose much ground and was very fast and strong late, recording the 2nd best rating last 200m of the entire meeting. His 101.8 rating is virtually on par with his 102 first up and we know that he’ll be better suited over further and in a race with more genuine speed. If he can progress to the 104-105 level in his lead up runs to the Melbourne Cup then he will go into that race with 54kg as a serious winning chance." Verbatim from a well known Racing luminary in Dan O'Sullivan... Grass replied thinking he'd come across an intellectual and nearly self flaggerlated himself stupid again...
  6. I don't want to inform you of the bleedin' obvious.... ...but I'm selecting the option of reducing said BP selections by a unit until those that do race well 'in foal' arrive at the 'bleedin' obvious queue... Besides this is my baby after convincing Ross Neal of the need to inform Punters of this important consideration...so it resonates strongly in moi's thinking process Unfortunately the likes of Red Sharrock thinks he doesn't need to inform the Feds of his Mare ART DECO being "safely in foal"... ...he should be instantly fined for being ignorant
  7. So then an email arrived from a 'Brian'...gee I wonder who that was Mick? Brian wanted to know why only one of the dead heaters on the last HB Premier day was swabbed.... Mick came up with a real doozie of an answer only an IGNORAMOUS from the RIU could spew "ohhhhh...ahhhhhhh...well we don't have to swab all winners you know..just take the dogs" FFS....ALL THOROUGHBRED WINNERS ARE SUPPOSSED TO BE SAMPLED...WE'RE NOT THE DOGS....Mick ..tattoo that across your noggin... ..but in the event that a urine sample can't be taken then a blood is used as a sample... Its that simple...so please don't bullshit your way through this radio segment EVER again thanks
  8. Just looking through your 'history' section shrew... ...and it resembles the mind of a complete and utter moron with the Gravitas of a single cell amoeba... ...and that's praising you...
  9. Being a 'horseman' I'm surprised at your 'thoughts' on what constitutes animal welfare fweddie ... ...comparing an abattoir to a neddy being TORTURED with electric shocks on a treadmill with no means of escape...while hooded up... ...well it doesn't compare does it? Lets imagine though...and obviously you have a vivid one... ..they were all at it...to improve performance...especially non triers or "bludgers" as the Amatuer rider stated last month.... ...will that grab the hearts and minds of the Mom and Dad's and their wee burgeoning family? ..can't wait for your imagination...thanks
  10. Cheers flag....Ive been away seeking treatment for ellipsisdosis...alas it failed... Yes both resemble a pregnant Mare to be fear...too many Custard squares possibly? But just for you and the non believers out there...some light reading As is the case with any statistical study, one of the most important requirements is that there is enough data collected to make the conclusions drawn from it as reliable as possible. With this in mind, I examined all the data from the seven years from the beginning of 2009 through to the end of 2015. This resulted in the identification of a total of 443 qualifiers that raced on the Flat in Great Britain and Ireland while in foal. Once this set of data was isolated, the next step was to come up with a fair methodology to assess their racing performance whilst pregnant. In terms of the basics, the number of runs and wins after their last covering date was recorded in each case. After that, ‘improvement’ was defined as registering a career-best Racing Post Rating while in foal. This improvement was then measured by the difference between their best pre-pregnancy rating and their best rating whilst pregnant. The research revealed that 443 in-foal fillies and mares had a total of 1,549 starts while pregnant, an average of 3.5 starts each, and they achieved a win strike-rate of 8.26%. To put that into context, the win strike-rate of the entire population of 3-year-old and older fillies and mares in Great Britain and Ireland in the same period was 9.35%. Thus, the strike rate of pregnant runners was 11.7% lower than non-pregnant fillies and mares. This is a statistically significant difference that would not have been at all expected by many. What makes this so surprising is that even if pregnancy had no positive effect on racing performance, it would have been expected that the strike-rate of pregnant runners would have been higher than that of non-pregnant runners, as there is almost certainly a positive selection bias at play in the pregnant group. As well as it being likely that the quality and pedigree of those chosen to race while pregnant would be above average, what is certain is that with trainers having a maximum of just 120 days to race them while pregnant, they would be pulling out every stop to get them in the winner’s enclosure and/or show improvement. Thus, for them to have a below-average strike rate is very much an unexpected eye-opener. There were more surprising results to be found when the sample was examined in search of how many of the pregnant runners showed improvement. Just 67 (15.1%) produced career-best efforts while pregnant, with the average rate of improvement being 5.8lb. A total of 13 (2.9%) improved by 10lb or more and 23lb was the most improvement shown by an individual. While there isn’t an appropriate means to compare these percentages against the overall population as was done with the win strike-rates above, given just how widely it is considered that pregnancy brings about improvement in racing performance, that 84.9% of the fillies/mares in this sample did not show any improvement is surprising. Similar statistics were revealed when the performance of fillies/mares that raced over jumps while in-foal during the same period were examined as part of this study. While the sample is smaller with just 169 qualifiers, their strike-rate over jumps was 7.4% compared to 7.81% for all 4-year-old and older fillies/mares over jumps in the same period. The percentage of those that produced career-best efforts over jumps while pregnant was just 12.4%. Thus, rather than supporting the commonly-held view that being in foal is a positive for a racing filly/mare, this data suggests that being in foal could actually have a negative influence on racing performance. While it remains to be seen whether this significant new evidence will have any effect on the popularity of putting fillies and mares in foal while they are in training, it will hopefully serve to better inform breeders, pundits and the racing public in how they consider such situations.

  11. So the connections of this honest Mare appear to be getting 'excited' about their Tazzie sojourn... ...actually...almost euphoric..such is their excitement... Perhaps in part their thinking she'll get a turbo boost from being...'up da duff'.... They can be forgiven for thinking this though...most do Unfortunately for them the 'analysis' has been done and it's found to be a NEGATIVE Thats right....they mostly reverse performance... The only 'get out' they have...is that those that do improve...a small %...improve consistency and performance nicely.... Good luck with that then...you'll need it...otherwise 'custard face' is looking the winning %
  12. It's just like a prison there for sure.... ...most are either depressed from a lack of Vitamin A or perpetually pissed to take the pain away from being stranded there...hunting for wild moss and/or lichen
  13. So Mick got on the dog and bone to Earily 2 weeks ago stating... "yes Pete the new whip rule is for every alternative stride until the finish" Earily then gets Bernie Saundry on who immediately corrects GOBder hitting him with a FACT... "that's for 5 strides until the 100...where said rider can then whip their cotton pickin' hand off into a frenzy" Next week... "Earily..."so Bernie said you were wrong Mick" "oh uhhhh....ummmm...ummmm...look...really...i'll have to get back to you on that" FFS...the head of INTEGRITY hadn't bothered to either take any interest or bothered to READ the new rule Thats why this RIU will be DESOLVED and INTEGRITY returned to the Thoroughbred code Before everyone falls over laughing at how incompetent they really are...
  14. Oh my....there's about 3 posters belonging to the lunatic fringe here...and you get the loon fringe festival award.... Lets make this abundantly clear for the 'non horseman' sect... Any animal within a confined space, with no means of 'flight' while being prodded with an electric current...with a mob including WEIR...standing by watching ...IS BEING TORTURED Nothing's clearer.... The means to an end was to MAKE MONEY...either through Stake money or the punt... Its criminal fraud 101 and the Grey Bar Hotel is what they deserve....
  15. Ta for the heads up .. .. .. .. ..Im orf! Love others who Ellipsis their ass away. .. .. ..! ! !
  16. Fair enough. . . you've cooked your goose McGoose. . . . FYI I have no ego due to the fact I'm Neville no name. . . an ass . . you couldnt swallow your Anal Retentiveness however. . . so I'm orf . . Au revoir Magoo
  17. Keep editing my posts and you get the 2 fingered salute - Ok? You're on your last warning. You either get my vast knowledge with the added advantage of increased traffic and debate or you get sfa and what Paddy shot at. Your choice McDuff.
  18. and of course Prince of Arran. HUGE IN 8th needed the run.
  19. Indeed it was as you stated bazzo MASTERCLASS next time show some respect and CAPITALISE it though. . thanx. You see I explain my niches when I post it's an education process to help and progress the ART of Punting. All you and the bros from brotown Bogansville do is compare your belll ends to see who's got the bigger EGO. Anyone posting 6 tips per race as 'value' is going to get lucky one day. But you've got some explaining to do. . . One of my best yesterday was ZABDI. an easy winner at NP previously in an MAAT, the old Spec. maiden as you know one of moi's 'NICHE' form races. ZABDI absolutely smoked them last start there in that Class.after running around like a drunk az bogan yet still winning by 1 1/2L and should have won by 3L. Only gets penalised 1Kg for winning due to the conditions of the race and was. unsuited last start on a D6 track. comes out at 15's. This time Mansour drops his freaken whip and yet still wins. I put the VALUE QUOTIENT on at 10's way overs at 15's then incredibly YOU get on CAST IN BRONZE. Beaten on its merits without any excuses by Z in that previous race running straight it beats yours by 4L at least. Prey tell how could you not be on ZABDI at 15's cf to CIB at whatever the f?? Please explain your thinking on that one then we can all get some Winx.
  20. So yet another whip violation by an 'Amatuer' yesterday. 'Amatuer' because it used to be Jacqui Fleming pro jockey who should know better. But in those days anything went I guess?? So its still 85% of Amatuer Races this year have Whip Violations. A truely disgraceful example in the Art of Horsmanship. One only needs to view a 'race' to see how bad they look and we wonder why we can't be as good as our cousins across the ditch.
  21. Don't forget the history though Flag. When I offered an alternative on how to assess races I was continually lambasted with the NFI moniker. NO F IN IDEA The ultimate test of 'tips' and which bazz tried to prove, is a set Bank not only did his 'bank' system fail after 40 odd 'tips' ran 0/40. He tried another waycthen gave up on that as well. But like the Black Knight of Athens Holy Grail he kept on telling other Punters. NFI Just though I'd set you straight on any history re-visited.
  22. Do you EVER give your mit a rest?? Indeed you must have a cure for 'crampus wampuss'. . .nobody could post such continual FAKE NEWS for sooooo long. . without taking something for this affliction. . Alors. . .To AGAIN set the record straight. . wrt the TIPPING MASTERCLASS. . Moi tipped in 4 races. . .a total of SEVEN neddys. . .the first finished 2nd. . .with the stated worry it "may need the run but should still be competitive" .and then onto the last 3 races. . . 3 in the maiden with the stated opinion this was the race that included the "only value of the day" at 11's a place. . . . . .I even suggested apart from the win bets I almost always do. . . is the 'value' also can include place betting when the odds are stacked in your favour. . . . . . this neddy finished 3rd. . .bet into 7's the place after I'd posted. . . . . .the 3 tips in that race finished 1,2,3. . . . . .again the 2 to last maiden I'd posted 2 tips. . . . . again 1,2. . . . . .and onto the last where I stated " this Trainer very rarely backs horses up" and looks a multi base. . . Then the coup de f in grass. . .which consigns your continual never ending fairy tale to the dustbin. . . " combine a few of these up Wally". . . into multi heaven. . . The last 3 races 1100-1 odds. . . Just paste that in your notebook of legends. . . chump
  23. I'm soz drinking Whakachungas in toothless Bogansville has made you PARANOID Bazzo. The Chief will confirm completely different ISP numbers so once again you're just plain Wrong.
  24. Oh my. . . .is this for real ATA? . . Theres soooooo much b/s written on some racing sites. . . .they should be excommunicated forthwith from the Punters Bibliography Society. . . . Besides my ass is sacred and only reserved for the Princess. . . . not bazzo's who wants a piece. . . . . . .the problem with a stack of toothless bogans sticking their 'prices' up. . . . . . is that eventually one or the other MUST get it right. . . .one day . . .surely the purpose of posting 'tips' is to help other Punters is it not?? . . .otherwise it's an exercise in who has the biggest bell end. . . .and the Princess knows who wins that. . . .every time So when I post tips. . . I explain how I came to the conclusion of my 'niche's'. . . . . . .not a Whakachunga drinking bum slapping exercise Of who rings their ringa ding dong. . . . LOUDER . . . Its not about ego. . . . it's about educating ignorami on how to make a difference to their punting lives. . . . . . .you know it. . . I know it
