  1. Great to see Alan Edge and Ken Barron combo get a couple of winners at nice price.Edgey is one of the characters of not only racing but of life in general.Certainly a few stories going around about some of his dealings after the earthquake with his demolition company. Great to see King Kenny show he can still drive just as good as anyone
  2. Brodies so successful he wipes his arse with $100 notes
  3. Appeal dismissed,glad as was dangerous riding not competitive riding.A big difference
  4. What's he up to.Is he in jail

  7. Trevira was a real favourite of mine.I was only a young teenager and Dad would let me spend a dollar a week.Always backed Trevira for a place if it was racing.I managed to save up enough to buy all brand new cricket gear
  8. No Pete,I dont drink anymore. But I dont drink any less either😂😂
  9. Was I seeing things or was the barrier still in the way 20m after the start mark.Im sure I seen outside 3 horses in Green mile have to take hold past the start as couldnt cross as mobile still there.I thought I seen it earlier race but thought no it cant have been so.
  10. Yeah I know Pete.I feel it too.
  11. 20 years ago I was a trebles punter.But with %bets now it not worth it.I used to take 5 each leg,spend $125. I got some big ones too.When i was young I used just take 2 horses leg ,spend $8 as was on low wage.I got $6800 treble when I was 16/17yo.Just started working fulltime in a stable.Remember it well.Dad used to have put my bets on,and collect, because I was too young.Worthy Adios,Patchy Boy and Millions and Millions at Oamaru.Also got share of a big treble at Methven once when 6 of us put in a few bucks for the day and took a treble and doubles.Both Patrick O'Reilly Senior and junior won a leg each and Max Miller won the other leg.In them days you took first 2 legs then went around back.of tote to take 3rd leg if you got first 2 in.% bets have ruined the big divvies now.Ibelieve Trebles and Trifectas should be minimum 33% and Quaddies and F4s 20% But now I take mainly multis,although I do love the Quaddies on big race days especially the Aussie gallops.
  12. I'm same,have decoder and get free to air stations.Get one of the kids channels for Grandchildren and trackside for me.Not missing the sports at all
  13. Do like No time Like now,Only heard about it late Friday and got it 15s. Also like Unfazed for a multi maker in same race R6 Bee mine Tonight should be ready to fire R7 Voodoo Priestess should be close up all the way from the draw R8 Glen Elgin Thomson for a place from draw Happy punting
  14. Unlike her,from what I believe,he has passed all the criteria
  15. I think this is a great chance for Hayden Cullen,he is well known to the All Stars owners as being a very big part of their success.And with Mark being his advisor and still buying for the owners at sales I dont think too many owners will go elsewhere for a while.

    Same I never take much notice,i do my own homework and if I get it wrong it my fault.Unlike you Brodie I'm not always on the money.
  17. Ricky has had years of experience handling thoroughbreds and standardbreds,Would have handled hundreds of horses with different temperaments over the years.He a very well respected person who seems to be able to read horses and drivers moods.And a hell of a nice guy too,doesnt think he any more important than anybody else

    The Whale certainly let us know when a race panned out the way he thought it would.Especially with Spankem.leading when 90% of punters knew he would lead.First thing he done after race was blow his own trumpet. I find him annoying,mind you .
  19. Agree Peter.Nothing wrong with being 7th best horse in NZ
  20. Agree I see in stipes report Blair said Copy That had nothing left when he asked him to go at the 400.Finished over 10 lengths from winner
  21. Oh how right you were
  22. Omg worst cup coverage ever cookson a shocker
  23. Bullshit Blair was trying get flyer but had take hold
  24. No starter said #3 not right Outstanding from Allstars.Bad draws but too good on the day
  25. Deadbeat between Spankem and Self Assured. The Fixer will be first out giving Copy That the trail for first half.Then Classie Brigade will come around with Spankem,Ashley Locaz and Self Assured following 3 wide.CB will be happy to move outside the leader knowing the Allstars will probably go lead,trail and outside lead.Giving CB the 1-1 and putting Copy That 4 back.on fence. Self Assured and Spankem will fight it out down straight with Ashley Locaz stopping and Classie Brigade will flash home for third.Copy That getting through late for an unlucky 4th.
