Taupiri Wonder

Peter Earley read The Final Field out on Trackside just prior to the final race.From memory $1.60 Favourite Dyna Weslyn drew Box 5.I think odds should be $1.30 at most.

Oh The Irony. Brendon standing on trailer outside the track watching his dogs run. Wind the clock back ten years,and another trainer warned off,watched Manukau Races over the fence up a tree by the first bend/lure finish,screaming his lungs out. About to be leading witness in case v BDC.

Even stranger..The Winner Bigtime Pete,now winner of 12/25 races,and second favourite tonight,is only referred to as Boy Pete twice in this report.Surely Head Stipe Gavin Whiterod has seen most of these Races in person,and should be familiar with this dogs correct name.

Saw Craig at Karaka Yearling Sales Ring few years back,and his first foray into Thoroughbreds won over $200 k in a couple of seasons with S.McKee,so I reckon he has 'cut it' in the sport of kings Four shaw!

Another honest mistake BitofaLegend,but Geoff hates it when people spell his surname wrong ending with an 'S'. I remember many years ago,Geoff sponsored a Race at Cambridge via Pete Henley,and in Racebook his name was spelt wrong.The following year,when Cambridge sought re-sponsorship,Geoff obliged on proviso they spelt his name correctly,and low and behold,spelt Bates again!

Hmmmn..wondering what your dealings were with Geoff Bate (Auckland),that would lead you to make such a comment. Personally,in my dealings with Geoff,he was nothing but honourable.

Thank you Bob,that explains things.(Stipe spelling blunder) Yes,condolences to The Fredricksons.

Stipe Report from todays Palmerston North GRC highlights that: Bigtime Leroy trialed before racemeeting,suffered a gastric dilation,and was euthanised by Vet. A look on NZ Greyhounds Official Site,Greyhound Profiles,Bigtime Leroy = No profiles that match search criteria. Someone at Head Office has been super swift in erasing any such history of this poor deceased racedog!

To quote Oz from Auf Wiedersehen Pet,Lisa looks like "a tidy bit of tackle".

Just reading Stipes Report now for this race,and Stand Down for Bender Truth is recorded as being 3 MONTHS. Owners Ashley Bradshaw/Peter Seque,do the honourable thing by all your fellow industry participants and retire this dog immediately.It can only ruin careers of rivals,or even worse cost lives! Current Trainer Jason Dunn,common Jase,don't waste your time and effort persevering with this greyhound any longer.All potential rivals in future will be grateful i'm sure.

Merv,I understood that 'Benjamin David Francis' was a superb 'bush lawyer',rarely losing a case in The Enquiry Room. Surprised he didn't come to your aid!

Ace Action = Profile Hard to imagine a worse case of 'marring' than in the video shown by Yankiwi above. This dog qualified 2nd of 7 @ Forbury,and made his Race Debut 3 weeks later @ Addington from the kennels of Steve & Bonnie Evans.Box 1,started $2.10 Favourite. Won this race,but marred several other runners,and earned his first stand down 28 days. My question,did he show such erratic traits when training,or did he only reveal this ugly trait when taken to the races!!! Fast foward four months,a change of kennel to John McInerney,and Ace Action lines up again as Race Favourite in the video above. Second Guilty Marring Offense,earning three month stand down. Wonder how he passed The Satisfactory Trial before being permitted to race again!! Not surprisingly,Ace Action was never seen on raceday again.

Bigtime Ivo,winner of Race 1 at Cambridge today.Ran off runnerup after winning post,and caused this dog to fall,attempting to maul this unfortunate dog in the process. At least Karma bit Bigtime Ivo on his arse,stood down for 28 days for failing to pursue with due commitment. What a mongrel!

Shillelagh Won her first 3 starts at Woodville 16.04.15 1200m;Wanganui 28.11.2015 1200m;Awapuni 12.12.2015 1400m . Racing from Te Akau Stables,first Trainer Jason Bridgman,then Autridge/Richards. Tasted defeat first time when 2nd Ellerslie 01.01.2016 1600m beaten by Pike runner Nomisma. Spelled,then unplaced fresh up at New Plymouth,followed by Win at Ruakaka 18.06.2016. Crossed Tasman,campaigned in Melbourne with Autridge/Richards,winning 2nd up at Caulfield 01.10.2016 1440m. Had First Win from Waller Stable at Hawkesbury 29.04.2017 1300m,for Race Stake $190k,and doubled career earnings.

Greg O'Connor gives me the impression he loves the sound of his own voice,or perhaps he is "paid by the word". The Harness Code suffers with Micheal Guerin broadcasting with similar traits!

Yes,do remember.Paul Cook/Crooked Bookie.Some Joe the greyhound.
