  1. I was there on the day brings back some great memories
  2. He was in full damage control I heard
  3. A mate who was at the court today said apart from the reporting coming direct from court the the judges biggest telling off of the day went to Martin Van Beyen for publishing the names of several people before it went to trial. He reckoned Police also got a blasting for briefing the press.
  4. Not really. Sit and sprinter but never got carted into it before the turn on a leaders track. Victim of circumstances may not have placed if he did all the work himself.
  5. CrossCodes I know! Brodies black is actually white style of debate always gives me a migraine but he is always good for a windup.
  6. I agree with the fact that DadnDave was surprisingly short but don't think you will get Brodie to admit the bookies got the price right. It goes against his I am always right mentality.
  7. No you missed the point. When the bookies all around the world set the odds ideally they will be trying to get the opening fixed odds as close to the closing tote odds as possible. The big descrepancies or differences in opening fixed odds to closing tote odds are normally where the bookmakers lose money. In this case (Dadndave) the bookies were almost exactly right. If Dadndave closed at $10 on the tote then you would be right but in this case you are not on the money. You would be better pointing out the big descrepancies between prices after the race to make your point where they got it wrong. At this stage the TAB bookies will just be laughing at you.

  8. Just stating the facts as usual. You said It opened up way too short yet the tote closing price was lower than the opening price so it they opened it over the odds to what the public thought the price was. What did you think should have been the opening price?
  9. Looks like you were not on the money again Brodie. Paid $4.40 and $1.60 on the tote. Bookies were giving you overs on opening.
  10. Back it when it goes out.
  11. New news everyday. Who knows how deep the rabbit hole goes!
  12. I think the cop was asking him if he had a winner for this week.
  13. If it was backed up by phone conversations,emails,texts with drivers telling each other how they will drive the race out then pretty damming evidence.
  14. Because the public want to know
  15. If I was a driver and in front I would be having a look to see where my toughest opposition was too. Hard to argue anything sinister happening with just looking around.
  16. Most people have no idea about harness racing fixing and how it would occur, so this article would definitely give them an insight into how it could be done. I would guess they are getting asked by every man and his dog how did they do the fixing!
  17. Sorry but the Police will do all the dirty work and clean up the industry and Godber will get a pat on the back and maybe even a medal.
  18. Well he drove a couple of winners there yesterday so not sure if you are on the money with that info!
  19. They have changed it now but it did not read too well before!
  20. Does that sound right? When asked if police took anything, he joked: "pride". Dalgety had not spoken to Dunn, who is in the United States, but said he would be "very surprised" if Dunn was involved in race fixing. "He's a leading punter and he just loves to have a bet on his horses. Him and Blair [Orange] are leading fellows. If you're successful, you're always in the gun at the start." Is it not illegal for drivers to bet on their horses? Me thinks the Stuff website have stuffed that up. Could a suing by Dexter for that statement be on the cards!
  21. http://www.harnesslink.com/New-Zealand/RIU-Media-Release---Operation-Inca
  22. They would go wtf this guy is all over the place with his rough place bets.
  23. Race fixing can also relate to winning stakes
  24. I find the timing of this investigation just after the Messara report deeply alarming!
