  1. Na... ...I was with Agent99 showing her the ins and outs of how Johnny does his job... She loved it and now wants to take over..
  2. What about the expert Rodley then? He poked his brolly in the ELLERSLIE straight... "Actually the outside 4/5M is a lot worse...as if they've watered it to stop any neddys coming down there...or just bad drainage" Why put a stupid statement like that out when all he needed to do was check with Jason Fulford.... Then Silly Willy Wilcox put his tuppence in...the CEO 'expert' "I really think its better than Heavy" Winning Jockey Calder after the first "Its really Heavy and testing out there" Disinformation, stupid f in opinions... ..just give Punters the pen. Readings...across the straight width at the very least... And they wonder why NZ Punters have buggered off...
  3. Too true ATA... And the Whanganui manager said? "@ 4 races and they'll be coming out wide" Try the 2nd... The funny thing is Neil Davis and his mate Lacey were down there sticking their Wharehouse brollies in the Track! Bloody amateurs eh? But they got it right! Lacy said outside was D6/S7 and the rail H 11! Stupid question I know...but if they know that's where they'll be racing why don't they give Punters the outside rail pen reading?? ffs... Punters are relly relly f in stupid...punting in NZ
  4. Sensational tipping moon!! What a race it was...best stayer won obviously...would have been unlucky to lose being blocked most of the way too! Dont ya love O'Brain being interviewed before the race...if he could be anywhere else than in front of a mike...he would be!
  5. So take the total b/s Te Rapa 'flash az' Track Video from yesterday... Done 2 days before the actual meeting!!! But get this...even if he'd done the 'Track Guess' on the day...he still would have got it wrong! A D5..retrospectively downgraded after the first...flash az for D6 for the first... ..and downgraded again after the third to S7...with no rain ...and the rail was off!!! ffs... Cut the b/s videos...give us the ACTUAL Pen readings...30 in all.... ... failing that the entire ones up the straight... Then leave it to punters to decide what to do with the info... Not some biased Trackman talking up his track... No wonder NZ Punters have buggered off.. Watch and Weep
  6. Too true...but even the Queen had a goodbye tour for her subjects... ...rotten matos could be slung at Johnny today...at least the Queen has turned it on though.. No doubt the mato slingers have their questions all sorted and he'll be getting a right old todgering over the website farce...among others Dear John...oh how I hate to sling...
  7. So 'Loveracing'...Saudry's new baby...aka NZTR's site Tells the Track Manager's they must do a video pre race meeting of how the tracks looking, how it'll play, the Pen readings across the track etc....the new Going Stick reading...how much rainfall fell...how much chicken shit they've put on... ...all that stuff?? Yea Na actually What they're doing is total b/s useless information...an almost direct copy of what's already written in 'Meeting News'... Rainfall, the amazing amount of grass the 'expert' track Managers talk themselves up..oh and maybe where the rail was last meeting... ...and the odd Manager like the HB Manager..actually mentions the EXACT pen reading TOTAL B/S INFORMATION What Punters require are the complete Pen. Readings...especially up the straight...The New Going Stick reading...a shear reading as well ...and in Winter courses like WANGANUI, Rotorua and Trentham...a reading of the outside rail.. ...you know where they actually race...there...but where they simply give us the rail... ...where they don't race...ffs So when you hear back slapping bum patters like Rodley and Tan telling us... "how f in great these new Track Manager videos are" Just laugh in their faces
  8. For HQ before they sell it? Or before they build office blocks and /or Apartments along the Hill's skyline... ..leased in perpetuity... The Hill is like a big pink Elephant hanging over the Golf Course... Wasted space...just like inserting in new Bush...for a few Chase meetings... ...then going to sleep for 3 months zzzzzzz What Does Wilcox and Baker actually do for 3 months? Play darts and go on Twitter all day...between throws??
  9. But we've had this discussion before haven't we? We go down the German rowt of not breeding from Bleeders... ...the same goes for the whip... You breed out the less than genuine horses who don't want to race... ...nek minute Germany Derby winners throughout the World winning Melbourne Cups again.... ...and Winx likes can't use Lasix in training either
  10. Y.
  11. Trewely??
  12. How impressive is Jayne nowadays...another export made good
  13. It's called 'two faced' Bazz.... Debate? You wanted me to do your dirty work for you.. ...this after accusing me of copying some other site wrt the massive Derby cockup.. ..when it was entirely my hard work and the expert b/s radar that protrudes out of the noggin... ...you even had Freda fooled at one stage...but I showed her the emails confirming the truth... BTW, what is it about Herman that he thinks 1 winner at 10's changes anything? weird
  14. Oh cmon Weas...where's ya joy de Vivre?? Imagine when the Boys Wear Plaid's neddy wins the Derby with their hero Opee up... ...they'll be tossing him for hours...and then they'll toss him some more in the Presidente's room... ...there'll be so much tossing going on the Stipes won't know who to weigh...but who cares?
  15. Sorry mate that was a pretty obvious tongue in cheek too.. ...but the ad hominem attacks come so often at me that I'm becoming gun shy... ...Ive made plenty of enemies throughout the Industry from pointing out many obvious flaws in processes and decisions... ...Im suspecting the attacks are from partners, friends, friends of friends et el... Endeavouring to offer support to their loved ones who simply refuse to follow the protocols that are in place... I could have let the Matamata death simply slide...it certainly would have given me a load less grief and time dispensed... ..but I detest b/s...and nobody else in the Industry or Media cared a jot about this death...other than the owners...and the embarrassed Matamata Club who had to front up to the owners...all secreted A p4p wannabe? Na, I'm anonymous under a non de plume so I'm egoless...he's not
  16. Too true Freda... The old saying 'familiarity breeds contempt' is more than likely a factor in these incidents as well... ...some of the crews have been doing the job for so long they tend to lose respect for the either old or unaccepted 'new' rules that require more stringent behaviour... In the case of the Matamata tragedy the Starter thought he didn't have to remind the crew to attach a lead or simply pull the reins over the head...then the attendant relied on his other mate to catch the mare on the way out... ...the same goes for the horse left behind...Trevor Harrison hadn't called "last one coming...all clear" when Sargent simply let them go thinking Harrison had forgotten to follow normal protocols... And again Harrison sloppily leaving off Barrier Blankets on the Starters Card lists...because he 'always' remembers... ...which he didn't...in our Premier Derby race...where the runner up was beaten narrowly after losing 2L at the start
  17. If the Neddy numbers are down what about some Sheepsy racing? Just steel say 300 head...they won't find them in Gorrrrrre... ...chuck in 8/10 Rams for an all in Derby type race for breeding purposes... ...change Waimumu to Waibaba to get some free publicity..and we're away sorted
  18. ...to the Queen's City...with her permission no doubt... She hates wastage and will undoubtably be there to hear his b/s...his well researched answers to the b/s...amazing website and associated ish shoos...Just get on... This Turdsday 3Pm...fill in the form so Willy can cater for Allens b/s...Great speech... https://docs.google.com/forms/d/16D6Iw0EXL4UQaHuLahcoW3CNYQAlQL8cLsHSjSoVjmE/viewform?ts=5ce351de&edit_requested=true
  19. So silly Willy Wilcox...he who wears plaid and sunnies on live TV...cos he's soooooo cool and hip... ...decides to spend up Big on some 'Live Brush' fences...over the back straight... Thatd be greeeat if they even used the Hill much at all...not many if any... Because after QB Weekend....Wilcox and his mates do SFA... Wilcox loves it of course..."we don't race in the bogs"...direct quote! So the hopeless HQ Committee agrees and dishes out money to 'fix' the Track...but don't race on it...much... Of course ELLERSLIE have long since abrogated their responsibilities to the Industry... They're fair weather friends..even though they wear plaid... ...what a waste of a good fabric.... ...sitting in the Closet ALL F IN WINTER.. ...while Muzza Baker goes past HQ on the way to where the Surf meets the Turf ...f in miles away...and he hates it
  20. Another OUTSTANDING win by this girl.. Yes the hot pot..but it's the way she exudes patience and her seat on a neddy that sends the Big Red lights flashing... ...and Big Red will be quietly rubbing his Big Red hands together in anticipation of Big Red loot coming his way... ...get rid of any pesky boyfriends though Red...TOTAL CONCENTRATION needed
  21. Geez Weaz...do you like that reply or...obviously I could have sorted more info for yous fellas then??
  22. Talk about the Owners being quite happy that Ollie lifted Steel Prince over the line... To go directly into the Melbourne Cup!! Will they be so happy when he deserts them...after another NH neddy with a real chance in the race steps up...and Ollie steps in? Anyway..great celebrations and Ollie got high https://mobile.twitter.com/FlemingtonVRC/status/1132168807697473536
  23. So bazzo..you ask moi nicely here...yet on another site... The guys a nutjob Hesi, sorry I just have been bloody busy the last week & yet a bloody again sick with the flu. havent felt like doing a heck of a lot the last week.The wife has been coughing all night for 2 weeks and my eyes are out of my head. This has certainly been the yr of the sickness. Do I have doormat tatted on or painted?? My best advice is to lay off the 24 Whakachunga Stubbies you bloat up on Saturdays...nay..every day... ...take Lypospheric Vit C every 2 hrs when you feel a chill coming... ...don't wipe your nose with your snott covered sleeve...make that eyes and mouth as well...I bet you eat your bogeys too?? Yuck...and get your long suffering Wife to jab you in the ass with a flu shot while looking for somewhere to insert the Bluey... best
  24. Officially accepted by the Employers? Wtf do you mean? Read the Starters Manual...on the NZTR site...required bedtime reading All horses without Jockeys require leads and/or pull the reins over the head at the very least...besides I told you All NRS Staff have been "strenuously" reminded of their responsibilities wrt this... And to apply the brake on the Tractor then put it into gear while on a slope... And don't ever lie to Stipes...or Stipes lie to the public about the "failure of the Tractor's brake"...when it was the Barrier Boys who forgot to pull it on... ..nothing to do with a mechanical failure....
  25. Normally I wouldn't respond to someone who called me "a f in troll" for posting Sam Collett's celebratory fine as 300 instead of 400....idiot But seeing as this is about the tragic death of a horse...largely due to the fact a barrier attendant failed to follow accepted practice....I will.. The same occupation standards and acceptance applies to many professions in this line...Firefighters for example....they put their bodies and sometimes lives on the line...Its instinctive Ive put my body on the line when dealing with horses, especially young stock, and supporting fellow workers in extremely dangerous situations...over many years...It comes with the territory... Youd have noted though my criticism is largely with the Starters... Failing to follow Health and Safety Guidelines...and accepted safe practices... ...then plain carreless ignorance like the Avondale horse that failed to load... But they also LIE through their teeth... When asked by the AUCKLAND RACING CLUB why the Barrier Crew had left the Blanket off the runner up he said... "the horse alongside was playing up...so we got distracted...and had to devote resources to that...Im sure if it'd been Jamie's horse he would have wanted us to do that" When in fact the Australian horse started playing up AFTER In a Twinkling had gone in....total b/s then... Then proffered the information that one of his attendants, Leadbetter, was of the opinion that leaving off the Blanket didn't make any difference to the runner up in the Derby winning...wtf cares what he thinks as it's totally irrelevant... Of course we found out in the end that Trev was routinely leaving off Barrier Blankets on his Starter's Card lists..and leaving it to memory... Dont bother replying
