Lovely bit of mile racing for Brodie on Sunday 😍
-
Just buy the horses Brodie says are not that good and you would make a fortune. Running out of fingers to count them all now 🤣
-
Should be the leader in the race on a leaders bias track. Wouldn't have to improve much to win this. Fergalicious looks the obvious danger in the trail. Old Oak Emma and Robbie Close might have the speed to cross early.
-
It might be too late for North Island harness but only chance is set up a grass track just outside Auckland. I might have a bet on a big grass track field but I am with Brodie on the small fields. Hard to get excited about them and not that enjoyable for punting.
-
Makes sense to me. I would be gobsmacked if they actually got something right
-
Gemma is too honest and hasn't fully grasped that the stewards take almost any excuse going hook line and sinker. The Dexter Dunns and Blair Oranges would have said "I was having trouble steering him and thought he might break if I pushed him" Stewards Reply: Drivers explanation was noted and the driver was warned to make more effort next time in that situation
-
You can. I take several trips a year and via some crafty software it is quite easy to fool the TAB into thinking I am still at home. They can not stop it and never will. Their only consolation is half the punters do not know how to beat the Geo blocking when overseas.
-
Get into it Brodie. Money for jam the last few months. Nothing better than taking the bookies to the cleaners week after week.
-
Yes I was counting on Gemma letting her in. Gave me a great collect on the first four.
-
Yep allowed to win $2K on the win. Place punting I am lucky to get on through account. At the TAB no issues but anything over $250 in one go there is a delay while they think about it and sometimes get declined. Easier to get the girlfriend to put it on in $50 lots a few minutes apart, it saves a lot of hassles.
-
You are lucky I can only get on for $10 on the place options sometimes.

I will take Barrier (3)
-
Don't give them any ideas. Nek minute they will be spending 100,000s on drones and even more on training for drone operators.
-
That's just my point. The race to race stipes reports raise more questions than answers half the time. Favourites driven to have no hope in winning but half baked excuses why they were not put in the race are accepted almost every meeting. Inconsistencies with inquiries where some get relegated or fined and others do not for the same offence. Questions asked as why horses perform out of the blue are a complete waste of time and mostly the answer is obvious and does not need questioning while others that look much more suspicious are not asked at all. I have no confidence in this area of the industry at all.
-
And round and round the merry go round we go. They still not dealing with it! There will be another operation inca and you will still be saying the same thing next time around.
-
You will not get a lot of participants saying good job to a failed investigation that cost the industry 10s of millions of dollars all for nothing. The only good thing that came of it was to expose the RIU's hopeless shortcomings as an investigative unit.
-
Seems I was bang on with this comment from 5 years ago. As well as dragging the sport into disrepute these bastards have tarnished the reputations of quite a few people along the way.
-
Ran his last 800m in 55.6 wide on the track as well.
-
Performance of the year! 0.2 outside the NZ Record held by Republican Party on a fast Ashburton track after doing 50m at the start. Could be anything
-
By my calculations I reckon the show day track was off by around 1.5 seconds every 1000m so for the 3200m on a normal fast Addington track you can take approx 5 seconds off that time. For me the whole two days of Cup and Show day were somewhat tainted by the condition of the track.
-
Track is racing like it is a Heavy 8 at Addington the times they are running. Must be too much top on the track at the moment.
-
Ideal Chevron unlucky for the umpteenth time today. Has pushed them over the line in half his runs to date.
-
Now I think those times on HRNZ in the results are timed from the front at the 800m to the front at the winning post and there is no way they paced that in 55.9 and 26.8 Stride master has Franco indie at 56.94 and I hand timed in 56.9 so you can see the discrepancy. This is a common occurrence and everyone who looks at future form for the horses in this race are being deceived thinking they went a lot faster than they actually did. How can they get it so wrong so often?
-
So much wrong with the HRNZ site at the moment. I hand time all the races because you can not trust the data at HRNZ and they have a very low accuracy rate on their times they come up with. Example:
