And you're surprised there's a growing lobby to ban whips?
Thomass replied to jess's topic in Galloping Chat
So get this....and Parkes is the highlight Jock for knowing the whip rules backwards...which makes him go forwards...very fast... ...whips winner Victor Vegas fully 33 times...could have been 34/35 even....from the 600M wins by a nose...and NEVER BROKE THE RULE ...that's how lax our International obligations to the Whip rule stand... ...we stand alone in first world jurisdictions.... NZTR are totally out of touch on many things...and this is THE major one -
Bazzy..if ATA is moi...then I LURVE making LURVE to plastic puncesses... ..you may have noted...being the scholar you is..that ATA and moi were diametrically opposed on the Folau thingy.... ...otherwise I'm pretty sure he's my long lost twin... ...but that's what you get here...people can agree...then disagree... ...and then we all get some sleep while respecting those views... ...you paranoid nickenpoop... ...even your self proclaimed Professor of Punting buddy...muddygrass...thinks your dumbum theory is banging on.. ...but life partners tend to agree with each other very often...to keep the peace at home... ...he's not your lover now per chance?

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

TE AWAMUTU...Just WHY do we still race there again??
Thomass replied to Thomass's topic in Galloping Chat
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...

Thomass replied to Thomass's topic in Galloping Chat
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//

TE AWAMUTU...Just WHY do we still race there again??
Thomass replied to Thomass's topic in Galloping Chat
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"... -

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

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...
