You must be relly relly loving it over there Bazz...with like minded "so f in close" butt so far bets?? Read this and larf folks...never read anything quite as funny..but completely barmy at the same time... "Scaglioni went a huge race just beaten for third and most of those over there wouldn't have entertained the idea. Up from a B65 in to a B82, it frightened off most. Two previous starts over ground unplaced, all form at 1600m or less. Except... I knew he would go a bold race. Forget track conditions, weight, jockey, draw, advertised class etc. Hence my excitement to post him a few minutes before the race as a great place value bet. Just missed but gave a great sight to finish 1 length from the winner." Just missed eh Bazz...sounds like your twin bro

Whoever decided on facing the stand to the Souff...was having a larf...Shirley? But it looks as if the olde world doyen of Thoroughbred media...Mary Burgess ...NZTR's 'new' 'Corporate Communications and Media Advisor'...phew..is all over this... ...front footing the Ellis critique by issuing the communique Has anyone seen the lonnnnnng list of employees there lately? simply eye watering

It's really interesting Al's take on "Mardi and Bazz" "didn't come her to be personally abused" ...when they were the chief abusers....including encouraging suicide... ...and now they're together bless them

Poor FRANKIE...one 3rd placing...this was about as far as he got doing a star jump into the Queen's lap

Perhaps not in the true sense...but he probably does that as well... as actually whisper "Horses really listen to people's voices, they really respond to people talking to them kindly, and, the other way, if you're aggressive with them, they squirm up and don't like that," O'Brien tells me as we chat on the Ballydoyle gallops. "If you talk to them and they're used to being spoken to, they pick up on words and really respond. "Obviously, horses can't talk back to you in sound, but actions will speak greater than words. We get a lot of feedback from reactions." Asked about being a horse whisperer, he switches quickly to his praise-everyone-but-yourself mode with which, having followed him for two decades, I am very familiar. He said: "We have some unbelievably gifted, special people here, and all the people around us have that gift - we feel very privileged to have those people with us." I'm not sure I've ever heard him take any credit himself for anything that's happened. That's always deflected onto "the lads" - Coolmore partners John Magnier, Michael Tabor and Derrick Smith - for their immaculate planning of both races and the matings of their bloodstock; and on to the teamwork of the people at Ballydoyle and at Coolmore Stud. And on to the horses themselves, of course. O'Brien insists he and his family just count themselves fortunate to be part of a successful story. But former champion rider Kieren Fallon, who was number one jockey at Ballydoyle for three seasons from 2005, says O'Brien is being too modest. Fallon, whose autobiography included a chapter about O'Brien titled 'The God of Horses', told me his former boss could make a troublesome horse as quiet as a mouse. He said: "Scorpion was a very difficult horse, very boisterous, and I remember saying to Aidan at The Curragh [racecourse] one-day, because the guy leading him up was all over the place, 'could you take him?' "He just put his hand on Scorpion and led him out, and he walked out like a mouse, and as soon as he let him go, he just took off with me. "Horses are very sensitive animals and when he's around them, they respect him… they're like lambs." And O'Brien likes to experiment with gear..to get the ultimate response... In last nights Coventry...ARIZONA simply had a straight bridle on...and what a grouse horse he is...

This is what it's all about...a rich old codger being interviewed by an English Rose...who's dissecting his inner thoughts

Brill tipping moon!

Pitty wasn't at all disgraced....wouldn't have liked the rain either

The question is...get up at 2.40AM to watch Enzo dick the best We are the North sprinters...or should have stayed in bed?? https://mobile.twitter.com/TonyJohnstone56/status/1140187891076931584

You've just got to shake your head sometimes with these suits... When the problem area is where the fall occurs...free of interference.... ...and they conclude that it's "inconclusive' the inconsistency was too blame... ...can one conclude they have no idea on the surface of probabilities either??

Great work moon...there's nought like a good going stick to bring out the best in things 'transparent' That means Marty Mcfly Face will be 'gambling' on the rails horses...far side... ....as normal punters will be investing on right up the middle types...like Enzo's Lad...drawn perfectly at 9 to sling shot them... ...as long as he doesn't get behind Oisen...who'll be giving off intoxicating fumes ....always worried about Swindley's soft prosterior to be fear... Here's the good oil then...good luck and God Speed Pitty! https://www.punters.com.au/news/royal-ascot-day-1-preview_181154//

How good of the toffs to protect the Hoi polloi from getting dumped on by Peter Pidgeon... ...who knew?? https://mobile.twitter.com/WHR/status/1140545688574615553

Who is this scmuck under protection and what fiasco was triggered.. ..prey tell Lone Ranger

Following the abandonment of Sunday’s meeting at Te Awamutu NZTR advises that the Waipa RC will bring forward planned remedial work on the track. NZTR held extensive discussions with the club officials and the RIU, while the track, in particular the section where Gingee fell on Sunday, was also subject to inspection. Both the raceday video and post-event inspection of the track were inconclusive as to whether the fall was due to track inconsistency. This was the fourth race meeting from past seven programmed at the Te Awamutu track to be abandoned and has resulted in the decision being made to bring forward the planned club-funded work originally scheduled for October. While the track will be open for training purposes NZTR advises it will be closed for racing and alternative venues sought for the club’s scheduled trial and race dates. A decision around a return to racing and trialling at Te Awamutu will be made by NZTR upon completion of work on the track and consultation with the NZ Trainers’ Association and NZ Jockeys’ Association.

Hope you stayed away from neddys drawn the rails Bazz... Matty told us the trials held there totally stuffed the ground by the rail...not to mention "inconsistent"...

That's almost as good a pirouette as Nureyev https://mobile.twitter.com/Ascot/status/1140518187227844608

Of course it is when it's CONTINUALLY on the SAME Course as in this instance... And it's always been on that patch of ground recently...

First post in a while Barry, I'm straining Nothing to do with the VI in this case Barry These forums are many things to different people, punters clubs, comps, tipping threads and serious debate on racing issues. None are mutually exclusive. For all the talk on free speech, there is another principle that seems to have been ignored here, looking after the people that contribute to your site. No one should have to endure personal abuse in doing that(that is some peoples version of fun) That's the reason the Punter's Club is moving, along with a few other things. You most definitely are a hypocrite Herman... You published, according to you, my 'accurate' personal details... ...living with my mother and I'm deaf as well Are you really that stupid you could believe anything so ridiculous? Then you expected me to go searching Bazz's account for when he said I had a mental illness and should kill myself...when you could have easily found it... ...so forgive me for giving Bazz some stick back... ...he should have been the one banned not me

Who and what is Jase and where did I personally abuse anyone...first? Is he related to Vorhees? It'd be a horror show if he left though...come back Jase... yay.....let's do this...

What's sad is stakeholders continue to turn up at this course..then go home early You know the definition of madness Bazz...

Are you 100% sure there wasn't a bias? Fell free of interference.... "Following this race a delegation of Jockeys and Officials undertook an inspection of the area where the incident occurred and was found to be inconsistent." Exactly the same problem a few months back...usually winter racing is ok...any other time without irrigation it's a mine field Just get rid...

2.40AM our time this Wednesday morn...before sparrows fart and the Princess isn't asking yet...brill Australian mare Houtzen will start from barrier 11 of 12 in her bid for Royal Ascot glory in the King's Stand Stakes.Race favourite Battaash has drawn alongside her in the outside gate for the straight track 1000m-sprint on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST) the opening day of the meeting.Last year's winner Blue Point is on the opposite side of the field in barrier one.Kerrin McEvoy, who will ride the Toby Edmonds-trained Houtzen, gave the mare a quiet work-out over the weekend.She is at 25-1 with British bookmakers with Blue Point at 2-1.Houtzen has had one start on a straight course when ninth of 20, beaten just over four lengths, in the 2017 Coolmore Stud Stakes at Flemington won by Merchant Navy, winner of last year's Diamond Jubilee at Royal Ascot.The Charlie Appleby-trained Blue Point wore down Battaash last year and has won his three starts in Dubai this year.Battaash, trained by Charlie Hills, is in similarly fine form after an impressive start to his campaign in last month's Temple Stakes at Haydock.Hills also saddles up Equilateral who will be ridden by leading Sydney jockey James McDonald.New Zealander Enzo's Lad is the rank outsider at 50-1 and has barrier nine.Australian sprinters have won the King's Stand four times, most recently a decade ago with Scenic Blast.The other winners have been Choisir (2003), Takeover Target (2006) and Miss Andretti (2007).

Actually that's a long wrist...could it be an arm? Yea...send the bill to the TA club for pain and suffering...then ring up Bernie and ask him wtf??

Wtf is going on with this shithole of a track?? Another abandonment today...more meetings called off than race days...and they still go there? NZTR's new Track Manager must have checked it out and passed it? Give yourself a 50 uppercuts then...and NZTR's Bernie as well...what a joke of an outfit Bernie... Last week 2 Steeple horses falling on the flat...and NOTHING investigated...and today Jaz Fawcett breaks her wrist??

Class clown you is bazz...and your Rangatira...Martymcflyface... Whanganui has an absolute historical bias...confirmed yet again by the Track Man for yesterday...the hotty of the day was never travelling on the inner surface...entirely predictable... " a fractional weighting" Hell no...it was MASSIVE But get this massive load of crap from your leader... "And in a case where the outside is supposedly faster, I'd expect there to be more chance of me backing a runner drawn the inside than the outside.Punters will bring the price down of those drawn out and runners drawn in will have longer prices than otherwise.The shift will be based on guesses and punters are inherently stupid when it comes to over reacting.Making it more likely that a horse drawn near the inside is now at the best value.If the outside was the place to be, I'd simply expect my jockey to end up being there if the horse I backed was good enough. Same as in any race." So this from someone who very rarely bets here...no wonder....expecting he'll be on mainly inside horses with little chance in the worst ground... Thinking his rider will helicopter itself over to the favoured ground...or paying him off to knock everything else over to get there... ...thinking he's investing on robots perhaps? Its simply ludicrous looney stuff and you're a BELIEVER! Vini vidi vichi
