  1. The drugs must be good in Brodieland. There are currently 40 junior drivers in the South Island.
  2. God, you are an absolute wounder.
  3. You just don't think at all. Bubbles is Alicia Harrison.
  4. This would have to be in the Brodie Top 5 Hall of Fame of absolute nonsense drivel. It's clear reading these forums the last few days that you need to step away from the keyboard.

    I’m going to say no.
  6. He is listed as owing $2900+. This was his fine and costs from an earlier hearing.
  7. Top 15 all time with 1448 and thats after virtually stopping driving 10 years ago. and a former World Champion. Notwithstanding your point Martin, about leaking, which I tend to agree with, don’t let your stable’s issues with Jones cloud his qualifications.

  9. Nice try Rusty... silver medal 🥈 for you.
  10. Harness Xpress today.
  11. Chief, where are you finding these documents... my humble google searches turn up nothing (looking for other clubs like the Central Districts ones plus Invercargill and Winton).
  12. This one is missing half the pages
  13. But it costs owners to send a horse to Manawatu....
  14. Well he will get whatever they can cram in to 40 hours a week. You would think that means up to 4 meetings a week?
  15. Let me paint a picture for you guys. Davey Mac was a contractor getting up to $1000 a meeting give or take. That’s for all Southland gallops, trots and greyhounds. How much do you think that costs a year? Would think probably at least $130,000. Evans is on salary of approx $70,000 to call an unlimited numbers of meetings within reason from South Canterbury to Otago. By letting Davey go they cut the wage bill from $200,000 to $70,000 plus lets say an extra $20,000 in incidental costs (motel rooms and travel/food subsidies). To someone with no feel for the fabric of the game, just numbers, that would make sense. It’s a damn shame but MacDonald was surely within a year or two of retiring anyway? As for Lichter, that info isn’t too hard to source - you just have to ring people within the company that are disenfranchised. Certainly wouldn’t be getting it from Guerin, they are what you might call the opposite of friends harking back to the Geoff Small controversy days.

  17. chief, Ricky subsequently confirmed what you called “rumour and supposition”.

  19. Harness driver Ricky May says he had no heartbeat after race collapse "The doctor in Dunedin Hospital told me later that I was gone," May told the New Zealand Herald. "I don't know how long for. They reckon it could have been 10 minutes. I don't remember anything." https://i.stuff.co.nz/sport/racing/118697124/harness-driver-ricky-may-says-he-had-no-heartbeat-after-race-collapse
  20. Well it’s pretty simple, by going in to the passing lane earlier than was permitted, he gained a momentum advantage that allowed him to get up and win by a nose. If he waited for the passing lane to open up, he would have been a stride or two slower getting going and not won the race. He did, in fact, gain a winning advantage by breaching the the rules. rule states (7B) Where any horse or its sulky wheel moves inside the track marker line and gains an advantage the horse shall be disqualified from that race except where it is established that the breach was caused by interference by another horse or driver. the Stewards and JCA were only applying the rules correctly to protect the interests of punters on Vintage Rose.
  21. LongOwner are you concerned for your trainer?
  22. You are living in the past. Yes, that race makes a mockery of the rule, but what should be changed is Nandolo gets disqualified, not a removal of the whip rule. This was a brilliant move from Edward Rennell and co with a view to front-footing a VERY serious issue in the public domain. Broadly speaking, your views on the use of whips are an unwelcome and unneeded regression.
  23. Wrong. 2011 at Alexandra Park, 2 rounds of 2 heats.
  24. Dave Anderson was doing property development and now possibly on the JCA?
