Wrong race. They're pacers not trotters and the trot race was at 16:14 not 15:38. This evidence is a bit like INCA wouldn't stand up in court under cross examination by QC.

Some more than others.

Some more than others.

Come on why can't we all share in his expertise! Spread the banning!

One minute you are touting Dexter Dunn as the best driver in the world then label him a cheat! Eat more porridge and drink less whiskey is my advice to you!

You'll post your picks of course on here BEFORE the event?

Quite frankly you post a lot of illiterate shyte. You haven't been "banned by every OZ bookie". So you speak with forked tongue as well.

Did you get a TAB betting voucher when you rang the RIU's 0800 SNITCH line?

Based on Forbury's fact record he'd be classed as an expert witness by the RIU.

Are you sure your TV isn't a lemon?

So who promotes gambling? If you say TAB NZ then what was the point of the reforms? We now have 4 marketing departments instead of one!

Where is Godsen in all this? Do they regularly sit down and review all the decisions made and compare consistency? Yeah na! Zero accountability and zero quality control. No wonder there are a lot of drivers and trainers with zero respect for them.

Exactly. Herlihy the other night breaks the rules of racing, inches from knocking the feet out from under a horse but close enough for it to puncture his tyre and what does he get? A warning? If O'Connell had done the same thing based on his latest penalty he would have got two years or life! Lucky he knows he doesn't have the skills to try such a manoeuvre!

Yeah I've never worked out which "punters they are protecting"! Must only be the mug punter and if that's the case then Brodie has a point with the 52 start no dividend Spitfire!

This season? So how far do the stipes go in critiquing drives? Considering most of them either haven't driven or have a worse lifetime UDR? Fine line between a good drive and a bad one. Compare O'Connell's suspension to Colin De Filippis!

The ducks "fared" well as in "Bill of Fare". Duck Terrine Pecking Duck Duck de la Terre Duck a l'Orange

I realise it is a traditional scottish breakfast in Dunedin but I suggest you have your scotch whiskey AFTER your oat porridge and oat cakes!

Over the years that would have precluded many a fine trainer from driving their own horses. I bet a few true standardbred followers can name a few of them. I would assume an advanced amateur was measured on how many drives they had and how many wins. I'm not sure if the rule still exists but you had to have so many wins as a driver before you could drive in the NZ Cup. Also Brodie did you know that Dennis O'Connell has a better UDR this year than Michael House?

Perhaps so but the driver didn't know that until 80m out. As I said why didn't he put the horse in the race earlier? Had to go real wide round the turn and put in a rough stride doing it.

That was an odd drive on Chinese Whisper. I thought the driver would have tracked up earlier when they were in single file.

Heard Glen Boss interview done this morning. Sir Dragonet wouldn't have blown a match out after the race. Considering Maher has only had him for two weeks makes you wonder how much upside there is. You'd have to pick him on a soft track in the Melbourne Cup.

Who cares! Aren't you supporting your local track?

That wasn't the driver's fault the horse was hanging out. You really have a snitch don't you. Don't let it cloud your judgement. What you are are suggesting he should have stayed 3 wide? Or pressed on to try and get to the front with a horse that was hanging out? It was odds on that he would have got cover and not ended up parked. Generally that's how it works within the first lap.

Just in case anyone missed it....

Does that hurt?
