  1. What a tosser!
  2. No I think Neil Brady has the parked record (could be around 100 races in a row). Mind you I can think of several other contenders over the years.
  3. One of the hardest stables to follow. The horses have the ability but 90% chance to be unlucky and blocked or running home late. The other 10% either a hard run or an easy win. You never know which one you are going to get.
  4. Seems short at first glance, I wish I could see the Ashburton trial it won by 5 lengths. Maybe it lost 100m at the start and still won who knows.
  5. I like Missie Castleton at 2.90 a place as well.
  6. I was pleased to see a short price on that and some others. it meant something had to open over the odds and Matai Minky opened over the odds for mine.
  7. If nothing moves in or out then the odds are close to what the public think the odds should be. Either that or there is no liquidity in their markets which is a possibiity.
  8. No he is in Aussie now but still in a similar job over there.
  9. Get into those big fields at Rangiora on Sunday. Should be some decent dividends on offer at that meeting. They can not have 16 horses short it defies the rules of mathematics.
  10. Everybody has access to information these days video replays, trial videos, sectional times so it is much easier for punters to spot previous good runs, unlucky horses hence the dividends are shorter and horses you perceived to be at good value are now spotted by everybody and are not. Add to that the TAB will almost certainly have inside information from industry participants to further decrease your value and the end result is a frustrated Brodie posting 10 times a day how the odds are so shite.
  11. By offering odds more than they should be is increasing turnover but stifling profit even more if punters are cleaning up on the juicy odds!!
  12. Grass tracks always much better racing. Better odds, bigger fields, one stable does not dominate, even the top drivers can not control the races on grass from the front. In saying that the higher graded races still lacking horse flesh even on grass. Geraldine Cup only 8 runners. Methven green mile only 6.
  13. I would say they are just baiting you. Looks like it worked. Don't take the bait!
  14. She has had plenty of breaks. Just needs some time off.?
  15. Or giving him a job! I could be getting triple odds. Princess Tiffany could be at $4.00 tonight if Brodie was the bookie. Those $5.00 place outsiders would be kept pretty short though!
  16. Not very often you can get a good opening price on an Orange driven runner. Same with Dexter when he was still here. Their opening odds are always half what they would be with anyone else driving them.
  17. Can we get Brodie a job as a TAB bookie. Would have cleaned up as he would have opened that one at $50 ?
  18. Does seem strange
  19. Go faster juice?
  20. I agree if there is a contract type arrangement then that would be pretty cut and driedand they will do time for sure, but if it is just driver Z saying he does not think his horse can finish in the first four (even if it is favourite) then the lawyers will cite any number of TV statements of drivers saying similar things. Like I said in an earlier post we can only wait for the evidence to present itself. All other assumptions from both sides are pointless until then .
  21. That is the problem. Money is lost by punters in every race. If driver Z makes a statement on TV he is going forward at the start and then goes back instead, then by your definition that could be a fix because someone lost money. Proving there is a fix and not just a driver saying what they think will happen is going to be the difficult part. I think the police will find this out the hard way.
  22. For once I agree with Brodie. Going to hard to prove unless there is thousands of dollars being made behind the scenes we do not know about matched up with phone conversations. Can only wait for the evidence to present itself. All other assumptions from both sides are pointless until then .
  23. I will be shocked if even half the charges get over the line
  24. yep heard that last week there were more on the way
