You can post as many opinions on here as you like, wont bother me so your post is pathetic to say the least. You should stick to selecting horses although your not having much luck at the latter of late, i hope things turn around for you soon. ?

Your first name has been used on here on many occasions, that's how i knew what it is. No privacy rules have been broken in my post, if you think so complain to the Chief who can adjudicate. Keep up the attacks on All Stars and Darksiders if that's what spins your wheels. Not likely to bother me either way.

Agreed, It was a very poor effort by both horses based on their previous records Newmarket I suspect no one on here, including myself, has any idea if they received any legal treatment since they last raced. Given a certain blood treatment is advertised widely and it is available to any stable your observation has little merit given the treatment is non notifiable in NZ I recall a RIU official saying that Purdon barn would be the most tested of all Harness stables in NZ. Highly likely given how often they win. I repeat my earlier thought, congrats to the winner and i hope the 2 beaten mares are ok and bounce back to their ratings as quickly as possible, they are after all not machines. Greg

I would have thought with comments like these you are sailing very close to the wind in terms of Defamation, notably libel Are you brave enough to say it to their faces though Peter?????? Greg

Also, why would they pull them up????????? Both went too bad to be true so i hope they pull up good and continue to reward their connections. Congrats to the winners also in that race. Who said the All Stars win everything. quite a few moan when they win and now some are moaning cos they got beaten. ?

The trifecta in the 2yr old race seems to contradict your theory?

Likewise ,if you lose money you must surely be entitled to a refund. Re CGT, the devil as always will be in the detail Kopia

Its historically been that way Freda, many buyers either dont understand the Northern Hemisphere bloodlines or cant positively market them to their clients. A case in point was a Saddlers Wells filly that was bred to southern Hemisphere time a few years back. At a time when SW's were going gang busters not one bid was offered for the NZ one and it was good in term of confirmation.

With the greatest respect Mark , no one makes you purchase shares in TA horses yet all NZ racegoers and trackside viewers get the benefit of DE taking all the risks to provide a local betting product.Its him who signs for them , him who pays all their staff and him who takes all the risks. If he does not buy 40 horses then someone else has to or else studs and NZB are worse off in terms of revenue. Surely that it not good for NZ racing ???? Your argument that stakes at top end needs to be increased to cater for high priced yearlings is not backed up by facts. Most of NZ's bigger races have seen stakes decline over the last decade in both real and nominal terms. example Kelt was worth a million and its now worth a fraction of that. NZ's highest staked WFA sits at a pitiful 400K Race meetings all over the racing world offer run of the mill races at lower stakes levels to cater for lesser achievers., its a world wide phenomena. No where do i even enter or raise the issue of stakes rising in the future, that's a completely separate discussion.

No, like most horses it was more than likely named by the breeder.

It wasn't a poor sale if you listen to all the NZB and Te Akau blurb. I'm with you Freda, based on numbers it was a poor sale and a serious level below recent overseas sales notably MM. The numbers say it all , lower median at 100K,poor clearance rate at 77% cf MM 90%.Congrats to new owner of Cambridge who sold 100% and Waikato who blitzed the sale in most categories. Te Akau was leading buyer for 14th successive year. they are truly great for NZ racing industry and if you doubt that then you are seriously deluded. Only 2 NZ based stallions in Top 10 by average.

Strange reply telling me i dont get it after you post that ive been slagging this site and some of its posters for 6 months on Racecafe when factually my first post was on Novemeber 18 2018 and its 30th January today . Hunter admitted he got me all wrong after attacking me , if your any sort of person you would now do the same. You really do need to get over the RC thing or are you one of those types who cant let go and has to re-litigate any issue ad infinitum.

Incorrect about slagging off this site I have made a total of 15 RC posts since i joined it in November 18 2018. They are there for everyone to see under my banner I did make mention about Brodie after he had a meltdown about whip use but only to the extent that he did not seem to realise that RIU are there to enforce rules that HRNZ make so blaming RIU is hardly relevant Other than that your comment is way off line. I find all this anti RC and BOAY stuff from both sides incredibly boring and have said so on both Sites, One could easily accuse you of constantly bagging RC on a regular basis, as such you might just be a hypocrite Either way , ill keep posting on things i have something to say about and you and your followers can carry on attacking all and sundry on RC and trying to work out who is who when ever someone new arrives on BOAY Greg

Who exactly are you referring to here in respect of the troll comment. Are they those who have a different opinion to you and a few others who seem obsessed with RC. You really do need to get over it given this site has been in operation for over a year. Greg

Its Doug's site , he owns it and he pays for it, He stated from the start what the rules are so why should anything change.Hes right when he says about how those that left the other site are now asking him to do the same to some contributors- you cant have it both ways Joe Pete,Weasal IMHO. Greg

I have no idea what you are talking about re Run rabbit Run Greg

Back to the original reason for this thread. the latest figures in Ozzie for 2017/18 season Let’s look at season 2017-2018 in Australia; and we see, incredibly, New Zealand bred standardbreds, incredibly, have accounted for: 14 individual New Zealand-bred Group One winners claimed twenty-two Group One pacing features in Australia Five individual New Zealand-bred trotters claimed a Group One feature in Australia Kiwi horses claimed 32% of all eligible Group One races in Australia Kiwi pacers were a dominant force claiming 71% of all combined eligible Group One races in Western Australia, Queensland and New South Wales Kiwi trotters triumphed in 19% of all Group One features in Victoria New Zealand standardbreds laid claim to 41% of all stakes races in Australia Nearly half (47%) of all pacing eligible stakes races in Australia were won by New Zealand-breds 50% of all trotting stakes races in Queensland last season were claimed by kiwi horses New Zealand was the leading source of eligible Group One winners in Western Australia & New South Wales New Zealand-bred horses won 91% of all eligible pacing Group One races in Western Australia 10 of the 16 eligible pacing stakes races in Queensland were won by New Zealand-bred horses 67% of all eligible pacing stakes races in Western Australia were claimed by kiwi horses 59% of all combined eligible pacing stakes races in Western Australia, Queensland and New South Wales were won by New Zealand-breds Lazarus, Ultimate Machete, Franco Edward and Let It Ride all achieved Group One doubles in Australia Despite all the local doom and gloom from some participants it must follow that some Kiwi's are making money from harness racing, be it breeders or those selling/racing tried horses to Australia Greg

If thats your first name why not sign off that way and i do it on all posts on both sites. My choice but do keep up the verbal stuff and dont admit your wrong, it becomes you.

The part about being on kiwibreds is factually incorrect on your part,no big issue as you must have misread my post. Here is your version for the record. Ill let others decide whats rubbish and what isnt hunterthepunter Members 619 618 posts Report post Posted Wednesday at 03:05 PM obsessed you no all about that wanking on about your stable your obsessed about posting crap about me Brodie flagship on darkside fuking tosser Greg

Sir Patrick thinks so as well? Wonder how much Sir P sold the Lovetessa weanling for when Lindsay's bought Cambridge given he purchased it back today for 300K

I cant comment for CC and Newmarket but your very wide of the mark. Not trying to disrupt anything and don't believe i have since i made first post last week. Been accused and abused a bit but thats the way some like to operate on here. Yes, i can post on both sites and will continue to do so if i have something to say or offer. you and others wont decide that outcome. To do so would paint you as mere bullies or are you Greg

Look Doug , this is your site and you can and should run it as you please. You and a few others on here have obvious historical grievances with Racecafe. Thats your and their business not mine but surely you would agree that increasingly at times the animosity goes too far to be considered constructive or beneficial to your site. The Darkside stuff is nothing but childish and boring humour IMHO which is probably why one poster has been told to get something new to post about. Greg

This one is becoming no better Joe. Being new to this site i started one thread about NZ breds winning stats in Oz and in no particular order Hunter ,Flag and You opened up on me. Yes, i can and do post on both sites and voice my opinion where i have one. I might reconsider that strategy if things continue on the downward spiral on this site with all the unnecessary abuse that's being dished out with the no moderation policy. Greg

Good considering it did all the donkey work for its stablemate to control the the race with little exertion. Your turn next week perhaps?????

Gosh you are so funny. More FTM obsession . How did you think your horse went today
