  1. Soz I missed this bazzo... But like last time...I'm sure you were being 2 faced... Would I have looked for a 2 faced bogan with chups hanging out of both sides of your massive gob...or just the chups on your shoulders?
  2. Good luck with that Morty... ...but Methinks you know Earily is on Godber's side with the patsy questions he asks EVERY week... You could send him an email....Peter.Earley@nzrb.co.nz... ...or simply use his Twit handle...@Pearleypete...where he also takes questions...especially if he knows you're the real Kev.. I take it you're familiar with the Twit world?
  3. The winner's barrier!! You Galah!
  4. I'm sorry you can't understand.... I was replying to THE galah..you galah who appeared not to realise there IS a recognised training program for Track Riders here... ...employing a 'track rider' who hasn't been trained...as McKee did...is simply asking for trouble...and asking if their competence is "ok to go" with knowing their actual training is not up to H & S standards..clearly You're running a Zoo...would you ask a newbie to clean out the Tiger pen without finding if they've been trained in Tiger poo collection? You might
  5. You simply can't beat Arsetralian Group 1 form....and this neddy had it...to go with recent residual fitness... ...not to mention the outstanding barrier trials... from both horses...1& 2 Theres no doubt the Shork is high class...just look at his sectionals...not to mentions using ones eyes.... ...but the barrier draw was crucial here...no need to mention that
  6. This training is well covered in NZ now..NZTR basically copied Racing's Victoria training protocols... Trainers only have themselves to blame under the new H & S laws we now have.. Simply asking a young person if they've ridden before and accepting their word on how competent they are is asking for it... Its a tragic situation what's happened but at least the Trainers Association has taken ownership to inform their members on what is now required as a minimum standard...

Donald Trump on the punt By James Lamb 29 minutes ago Trump booting one home at a price Donald Trump's love of the punt hasn't been widely-documented but the following photo gallery shows that the American president is a bit of a fiend for 'The Great Game'. 1. Trump after being Willowed ... again! "Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrk!!!" 2. Trump big-noting after finding the $1.80 favourite in the first "What did I tell you? Like taking wheat off a blind chook." 3. Putin feigning interest in Trump's multi hard-luck story "I nailed the first three legs and had the option of a cash-out but thought to myself, 'this thing's been backed from $2.40 into $1.80'..." 4. Trump pretending to be happy after tipping a winner to a mate but not backing it himself "This prick better buy me a beer." 5. Trump raging about the Hawkesbury camera angle "I thought I was a length in front with about 50m to go - how the f**k have I missed a place." 6. Trump going the early crow at the furlong marker "Here that boys? That's the sound of a cash register opening." 7.

  11. Soz Bazz...missed you hiding away there... Great to have you back from your solace... And let's face it....you must be bored shirtless having to massage egos...and backs sacks and cracks where you hide? Its tiring being someone you're not isn't it? Come back and let's have a mass debate on something worthwhile...it'll release the stress hormone you must undoubtedly be feeling... you first
  12. Oh and of course McIllroy was part owner of this "Bludger" with her training partner... Therefore she probably thought she was even more entitled to teach the BLUDGER a lesson... ...now "sacked" So before she left the sacked racing world...she got what a "BLUDGER" deserved... 15 damn good strikes while out of contention "That'll taught her"
  13. You're brill at FAT ELEPHANT avoidance mate... What about the Mammouth contention of you two Sultans? That 30% of ALL races are won by < 0.3L?...which is plain shit stats right there...anyway if it was Being an EXACTING form analyst...including 'wide without cover' and my time allowance for variables such as that...which incidentally is @ 0.35 SECS...depending on the length of time without cover.. And of course which you and your fellow Sultans simply ignore... ...then I'd take 30% change ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!!! A third of the time the previous winner is going to get beat because my analysis says it'll be reversed after your weight difference is applied... ...which is 1kg = 0.1L... and I've got Ashvin claiming 3 kgs this time...after being unlucky the time before without him This news is f in GOLD!!
  14. It doesn't appear so Weas... The Amatuer's whip violations are running at 85%... to a normal race 5%... Clearly they're out of control...because they've got white line fever and they're desperate to receive the Duke's Trophy for leading Amatuer... ...at any cost... Luke Myers had 3 whip violations... almost in a row...and got 2 days...after the 2 fines... Wet. Wrist. Slap.
  15. Yes I'm afraid you're right on this one koppa... The AMS have had their fun' n' spankin time...go ride at the trials if they want some limelight as you say Of course the JCA ignored Justice in this case...they had the opportunity to upgrade the fine but decided to lump "BLUDGING" Whip thrashing on a non contender...with Wenn's slightly over the limit on a contender... Good that they're going to get rid of the JCA then... ..but Oathey will need to finally cop the f on as well...
  16. Arrrrrrh Jummy...ya old wee Scottish bugger...wearing a skirt...love to have a jar with yee Jummy.... As for yee AM's Jummy.... ...there's no such thing as 'Amatuer' now...if we want a Professional Industry to thrive... we as a brotherhood have to show said stuff 24/7... ...no thrashing bludgers allowed...or wacking Barney over the Alps either.. ...which appears to be your de riguer... best Jummy...pm me
  17. I never took you for a misogynist, anti immigration, White Supremacist gun totin' Trump lurvin mofo Flaggy?? The real history of Donkey's Rightous Right economic plan was to flood the country with supposedly high class educated immigrants, with money, so they could stimulate the Housing market and leave Donkeys older voters... ...stinking filthy rich...while developing Housing as our major economic driver...what a f up that was... The highly educated immigrants then became taxis drivers, migrated to Uber and further on to Uber Eats...great career development right there... If you're talking about Refugees?? We're well under the World quota in OECD countries... ..but what's interesting is our massive success rate with these fantastic human beings...you see...give someone an xtra chance at life and they pay the country back in spades... As for the most stupid Human Being on the planet...Brit PM Cameron...giving the anti's a chance on a 50/50 Referendum with all that fake news entailed...and 'winning' by SFA % to consign Britain to a nightmare Armageddon economic crisis...he should be strung up Hope all of this helps make you feel better about yourself today flaggy... best
  18. Finally a veddy good point your've raised shrew....and I'd like to put you to bed..with your dummy of course I feel the bro love between ATA and myself so much..that I'm sure we're from the same split egg...and/or Siamese twins maybe....probably separated at separation then... ...But Da Chef will confirm this...the ISP numbers are totes not da same... ...hope that doesn't f ya theory up too much?
  19. I'm relly relly worried about you koppa.... ...first of all you obviously haven't taken my advice about a trip the old Yogi's Yoga ashram temple in Amritsar... to chill.. ...it's more like you took a p pill...and it just keeps leaking out... How did we know you'd be a Trump devotee though... ..at least you've admitted it and its the first step towards recovery... ...Im worried about the first 24 hour Walmart opening here for you however.. ...all yous fellas congregate there...on your mobility scooters...talking smack and eating shit...or is it talking shit and eating smack? Whatever you're on...I don't want any...ok?
  20. Oh wow....so now the EXPERTS with GRAVITAS are... ....CORRUPT?? I've heard about 'intellectual' jealousy but I've never seen this in action before in the Thoroughbred Industry... You should email Phil at BHA and tell him about your findings...Im sure PHIL and the rest of his fellow Europeans will be super impressed and rush off to alter all of their findings... yea na Oh and you still haven't addressed the ELEPHANT in the tea room... You and your fellow Sultan of Sophistry's advice to NZTR to reduce the Fillies allowance by 0.5kg...which in your world is 0.05L Oh dear No wonder they dismissed you and yours OUTRIGHT...when you surely told them what effect it would have? Clearly the treadmill research is the ultimate scientific tool to remove ALL variables... And what about the confirmation that extra weight carried around the pins...produces even more of an oxygen debt.. ...which directly correlates with my research re weight...especially App allowances on H 11 tracks in NZ
  21. The boys at HQ, you know, Craig I won't take responsibility for the Derby f up Baker.... ...and CEO Paula, I love holidaying in Hawaii with Davo Ellis, Wilcox...Willie to his mates...and those on Twitter...unless you get BLOCKED... Are SOOOOOOO bored having not raced for 3 lonnnnnggggg months...... ...they've started the rumour that cutesy French Bulldog racing will start down the Birdcage long drop... Talk about desperate to generate something to do... ...all they needed to do to avoid such a shocking waste of not only the BEST STEEPLE COURSE in the Worrrld..but the Queen's City's most beautiful real estate... was to insert an AW STRATHYR...but the Committee failed MISERABLY Read and weep about their sad boring Corporate lives...cute Doggy though We are delighted to announce the launch of New Zealand French Bulldog Racing. CEO @RPWillie says he's barking excited about taking the lead of this exciting new venture for the Club which, despite its 140yr+ history, is an old dog that looks forward to learning some new tricks
  22. 'Think' would be a very big question mark when it comes to your understanding things 'horse' I know MANY horsemen...and I simply don't know of one who 'thinks' it's not a ' thing' Please go looking for one...Then name them so we can shame them...or I'll just email/ ring them to knock their 2 heads together... btw I said "stuff SOME" Lets analogise so you'll understand You've spent a night on the turps...mixing drinks as you do...Chaser Chaser Chaser, rumncoke, Bloody Mary, Pimms...like a typical Reemers housewife... ...next morning you run your coated tongue along the roof of the mouth..where the falsys usually sit...but it sticks like glue while smelling like a dogs ass... ...after passing out .. the wife thinks you've snuffed it and does the kiss of life...only to pass out as well from the putrid stench amid the fermenting pizza...after you got the munchies post toke... Instead of the usual morning full bodied French kiss...where the tongue runs smoothly around every corner... as smooth as silk on Ferrari leather...loose az thats the diff
  23. "is that the key is selecting the best chance WITHIN the field based on the conditions that that field will experience." Wtf are you talking about?? ALL horsemen know that HOLDING tracks totally stuff some horses... ...oh that's right...YOURE NOT A HORSEMAN! Yesterday yet again...Kylie Little "yes last start she didn't like the HOLDING track" Hence her failure..." but we think she's still got it on the flat despite that failure" Wake up..get off your keyboard...go learn some horsemanship or just go shopping in K Smart...
  24. Another pitiful Whip violation yesterday...yet again from an Amatuer rider..2 in the race...and one who should know better...Scott Wenn What a disgraceful out of control mob this lot are..almost every single race this year has resulted in Whip violations... Absolutely time to get rid of these races...the Industry can no longer tolerate constant infringements when we're under intense scrutiny from animal welfare zealots... Yesterdays case was the worst this season...Ms. J McIllroy Out of contention and in last placing she decides to strike it 15 times because it's a " Bludger" This stuff belongs well and truely in the past...accepted then...by the cowboys of the Industry...who wanted to teach bludgers a lesson...besides it made them 'feel good and they deserved it' Read and weep "Mr Oatham demonstrated the incident using the available video footage. He identified Ms McIlroy and showed that she used her whip on 15 occasions in the home straight. He said BARB DWYER was in last placing and it was not responding to the whip. Ms McIlroy accepted that she used her whip on 15 occasions in the home straight when her mount was out of contention. She said BARB DWYER was a “bludger” and it was “sacked” after the race. Decision: As Ms McIlroy admitted the breach the Committee found the charge proved. Submission For Penalty: Mr Jones said that Ms McIlroy had a clear record under this Rule in the last 12 months and she admitted the breach. He referred to the JCA Penalty Guide which provides a $300 starting point for a first breach of this Rule. He said there has been some discount applied in recent times for Amateur riders. Ms McIlroy asked for a suspension instead of a fine because Amateur riders do not get paid. Reasons For Penalty: The Committee considered all the evidence and submissions presented. The JCA Penalty Guide starting point for a 1st breach of excessive use of the whip is a $300 fine. This fine includes admission of the breach and a clear record. The JCA database showed that Mr Isdale, Mr Myers and Mr Frye all incurred a $250 fine for similar breaches after Committees took into account their Amateur rider status. The Committee told Ms McIlroy that the manner in which she used the whip was unnecessary and unacceptable. It was evident that her mount was well out of contention and it was not responding to the whip in the final straight. The Committee considered that it would be inappropriate to impose a suspension because of the limited riding opportunities available to Ms McIlroy. After taking into account all the above factors and in the interest of consistency a $250 fine was deemed to be an appropriate penalty.
  25. Rather interesting alright mooned...especially the double figure Barrier one... That could make some Punters think twice about ignoring general Barrier draws carte blanche!
