Thanks, its types like you that will sustain this website Greg

Thanks. It was more of a question HTP. Greg

I dont bait but dealt in facts given OWM and i conclusively proved your offsider FU was off the mark. But ,keep up the abuse, it says it all about you and your mate. A I cant speak for RC although i do post there if the subject interests me.I suspect you and a few others are not welcome there judging by your comments . I dont think they are hurting over that but thats just my opinion/observation Greg

I wondered if someone might bring them up, they are too miserable to play for top class players these days so let them go.Little real team unity when they get back together according to a Dutch mate. Still, never say never Greg

Oh Des, your getting outpointed and changing the narrative again when getting a proverbial pasting. The resort to abusive language is also consistent by all accounts Greg

Thats not very nice Ranga? Greg

Nothing unusual there So Oldwhiteman says five sides dominate Football WC and yet you say thats double rugby WC suggesting 2.5 to maths challenged Factually, All Blacks, Ozzie ,England and South Africa as in 4 teams have won WC and its been going a lot less than FC World Cup A stunning win to OWM on all points IMHO but lets not let facts get in the way of a FU post Greg

You might be quite warm but the exact issue GK might have wanted to raise is possibly clouded by a separate legal matter down South. It will be one or the other i'm thinking but i'll leave it at that for now. Greg

Facts HTP. They keep getting tested by the best in the world I.e HK Others use same vet as ASs Doesnt Nigel use Bill B??. Greg

I'm not the dapper Baken but do I still get the welcome Newmarket ?? Greg

All will be revealed in the fullness of time. Lots of legal stuff involved if it is what I think.it is Greg

Haha. they did a few years back. Greg

Hes intelligent so hes playing Devils methinks, great analogy with the rugby. i hope im allowed this opinion without being attacked again ?

Nights like this make it all worthwhile for Mark Purdon. Because it not the money or the glory that keeps Purdon away from home all summer. It is the satisfaction he feels when things go right and Purdon and partner Natalie Rasmussen can get the best out of their horses and do the right thing by their owners. And things went all the way right on Saturday night a Menangle. The All Stars trained four winners, three at group one level and most importantly the quinella in the A$1 million Miracle Mile as Spankem outsped stablemate Thefixer. It was Purdon’s first driving success in the Mile, a race his brother Barry and brother-in-law Tony Herlihy had both driven the winners of before so Mark was thrilled to join the family honour roll. “It is a race I’m glad I finally won because it is one I always wanted and it would have annoyed me if I retired one day not having got it,” says Purdon. But personal glory is not what motivates Purdon to spend three tiring months on the road, with the Hall of Famer admitting his gruelling summer has sapped him. “It has been hard,” says Purdon. “I think the only time I have been home since early December was for the yearling sales and while it is great to have all these horses and to win big races traveling all the time isn’t easy. “I think people see nights like what we had on Saturday and see the glamour but it has been a testing summer in some ways. “But when you see the horses race that well and the thrill the owners and the staff get out of it, it is very, very satisfying.” As dominant as horses like Our Princess Tiffany (NSW Oaks) and Our Dream About Me (Ladyship Mile) were, Purdon still needed his rarest of training skills to get them there. Both of that pair and Spankem were in doubt for this carnival just three weeks ago and part of Purdon’s mastery is his self-belief to change his plans at the last minute to suit how a horse feels. Three weeks ago Spankem was coming home to New Zealand with a hoof abscess, now he is the Miracle Mile champion, with delayed flights also helping. “I wasn’t surprised he won because his work last week was so good and his gate speed was a huge asset,” says Purdon. “And he loved the big track and the speed racing. But he still had to be good to hold out Thefixer.” Spankem will now have a short break while Dream About Me retires a last-start group one winner. Our Princess Tiffany was breathtaking and has raced back to the head of the fillies ranks while All U Need Is Faith got a deserved listed win. As for Purdon, he will make it part of the way home (Christchurch), flying into Auckland today to put the finishing touches on his team for Derby night at Alexandra Park this Friday. The machine rolls on. HARNESS LINK Greg

Your safe, HTP as you are invested in the game unlike the others i was referring to , the negative nellies. I suspect you would have had a good day at Cheviot meeting despite Duke's performance. Not surprised that the team driving conspiracy theorists are not going on about the Dunn multi teams efforts in the Cup won by Sheriff, this time obviously does not fit there theory Haha Greg

Look Des its obvious your not very good at comprehension. For the umpteenth time , i have no issue with others opinions even if they differ from mine. The problem is there's no reciprocity. Your a classic example of it. Read what others write not what you think they mean cos your wrong too often. As Joe said earlier " NZ yet watching the AS dominate yet another elite meeting is about as appealing to me now as a visit to the dentist" Greg

Keep the trolling coming Joe. In a short time you'll over take the King mantle from Flag at your current rate So is your real point that other contributors are not allowed to.have a contrary opinion to you. That's what your latest posts and replies seem to indicate. FYG I'LL continue to marvel and profit from the AS barn. It's clear your losing interest and thus are not invested in the game. No great loss.perhaps Greg

I leave the bum licking to you and your 3 supporters, you do talk some absolute rubbish about my posts on a regular basis. But you keep hammering away if thats what spins your wheels. Greg

That's my belief as well but we are a minority Basil as on here the envy melts their keypad after any AS win. A sad but true reality with the exception.of Globe. Good on him Greg

Not at all. I'm referring to Ultimate Sniper type results. Re driving experts Greg

I've never said you can't. So did you enjoy NZ horses running 12and 4 in MM Grèg

Someone has to hold a contrary position to AS haters on here especially the grandstand drivers Greg

How good was that. 1.4780 with a 25.6 last quarter. Anyone want to knock any of the drives Greg

Get on and get plenty then?? Greg

Whilst that's your individual choice they win an amazing number of races . In fact to many according to a few on here. As for differences in performances it happens to.most stables and horses on a weekly basis Greg
