As we all know ,it is nearly impossible to get kicked of this site.But i think it is only an accident waiting to happen that the Village Idiot will be the first ever to be booted from here. Professional troll.
TAS went a lot better then i thought he would. Looked gone at the 600 ,so to run on like that a very very good effort. Winner way too good for the rest.
It also puts it into perspective when you realise that the time honoured Melbourne Cup is not in the top 100 rated races in the world,so really what would the normal guy in Australia even think about betting in races from New Zealand in general.
To me , these guys come along as not that bright. Even in jest you would not say half the things these people are saying. And they wonder why trotting people come under the spotlight for form reversals,drugs, etc etc.
I think you have to take the view that everyone can learn from this. The whole point of the system/prosecution is to promote safer workplace practices through education. And I thought thats what the thread has been discussing.
Totally correct.I feel so sorry for the young lady as her life has been totally ruined by a very misfortunite accident,.I hope she can pick up the pieces and enjoy her life as good as she can.Lesson for all to be learned from this terrible incident. When i was younger and involved with the horses in Riccarton we used to get a lot of the pony club scene wanting to be involved with the race horses.My boss would sent me alongside them on the quiet ones around the shoot at a trot only to see if they could handle a racehorse and ask my opinion if they would be capable to ride sufficient trackwork.More often then not i would have them restricted to trotting only around the shoot for a few months.Whist most were very capable horse riders,the racehorse is a totally different scenario as can be very highly strung.
Totally agree with you mardy, the guy is a total bullshit artist.Only ever ever after the race does he have the winning ticket. Absolute bullshit artist.
How can he have got plenty when he dosn't even bet. Only ever ever tells after the race ,not once has he ever stated anything prior to the race. He lives in fantasty land.
