  1. I rode Pep gallop one morning with JF Harris on Red Loki, his forelock was longer than most horses tails, he was only small but geez he could gallop. Heckle [Wally McEwan] used to ride him bareback to the track, what a quinella those two were.
  2. We all use iron supplements to increase red cells, that's a given, I'm talking about Raceday admin, you know....cheating, like Laming the recidivist using EPO giving him an edge, like Lance did, Raceday or within the accepted period/limit you can't give or do SFA......the way it should be, and like Elephant juice, by gee it can make a horse run faster, I'll not explain that here, and No I'm not talking personal admin, but I know just what it can do and it can take an ordinary horse to the winners circle, and it can kill......I know that too, if you understand what you read regarding nano particles, then it's a pandoras box, it's in it's infancy but like DMSO it will emerge, it will be found [eventually] and chemists will move on developing the new and undetectable performance enhancers.......everywhere, not just NZ. Smashing bookmakers is not synonymous with NZ as you don't have real bookmakers, I had to laugh while watching trackside one day as the person in the studio was animated chatting with a talking head from TAB about a huge wager of 2K.......when they knocked me back for half of that, the bullshit from TAB is only rivalled by that of The Beehive.....FFS.
  3. I'll give you one, one, example so you can digest, and then I'm off......never to go near this again as I get migraines from trying to get you to understand. One day way back in time I was at Levin trials with my business partner, a Malaysian jockey at the time, we went with Jack Higgs who was a leading owner and a friend of mine. We had several horses lined up as potential imports, we were approached by an old time trainer who I knew from my days as an apprentice and he asked us to look at two of his trialling later in the morning. Well we did, except, both of them broke down, not one, but two.....both went in the front joints, one broke a fetlock and the other a sesamoid......we learnt later from a disgruntled stable associate that they were full of bute as they had been sore for a while.......that's what desperation does to a person, however another particular person had sold horses to Asia before, and the horses had gone poorly, after trialling brilliantly in NZ and being sold off those trials........one bled badly first start in KL and after much research we found it had bled in a gallop before trialling brilliantly.......you think it trialled on Lasix? I bet you did.........there is a place in racing for therapeutic drugs, but policing racing and trials with pre-race testing is a must go to......you live in denial.
  4. Increasing red blood cells to improve oxygen levels is illegal, otherwise we would all be blood doping wouldn't we? Maybe nano particle tech will be the next big thing, if you don't know about nano particle's, google it, but don't lecture me on changed training techniques and there is a vast difference in regaling past achievements in attempt to achieve credibility when fact beats fiction every time........a bit like a 50yo kicking coach showing a young Quade Copper where he's going wrong.
  5. Re your last sentence, because you're a goose Chief, you're only capable of seeing what you want to see.......read the fucking thing again......I said every jurisdiction.......not only NZ.....what you're implying is NZ is squeaky clean....nowhere is squeaky clean......think Lance Armstrong.......you remind me of Lance's old man.....'.oh no Lance couldn't possible do anything like that...it's all a conspiracy'.....FFS. Ever since Noah played centre half for Bethlehem people have been trying to gain an edge, legal or not, the Feds need to be one step ahead, will that happen? Well our Feds are a furlong in front of yours, and they are scratching their nether regions trying for an answer.
  6. The lunatic in Perth has now gone feral, no border opening as promised, the devastation with families there is unreal, he's frightened the new strain will destroy human life as we know it, and shamefully he'd be elected in a landslide.....apparently....., however social media says another story altogether and now some very respected mainstream journalists like Laura Jayes and Annelise Nielsen have turned on him, big time. Like Kevin Rudd, the master of making it up as he/they went along, the Premiers of WA and VIC will be destined to the annals of time as lunatics that ran asylums......
  7. Nah, you just don't get it, Ray Paulick is not Archie Butterfly, FYI todays revelations in his paywall expose refers to W Farm and some alleged naughty activity, he's actually named the two trotting blokes he suspects so why don't they sue him? Ray Paulick does his homework, and if it's happening in USA how fucking naive you must be to think it aint happening elsewhere? You remember that low life trainer retained by another low life Sheik Mo, his name is Mahmood al Zarooni? who'da thought he would have been drugging horses? It happens, and Neville Chamberlains like you believe it aint so......it happens in every jurisdiction, I just detest Ostriches, get your head out of the sand and understand that even in little old NZ there will be cheats after all it's the home of the old Blue Magic......and my neighbour when you were shitting your nappy was Ginner Hart, and we all know that came as no surprise don't we...... Why do you think a certain person was pumping bute into his horses trial day? subsequently horse breaks both sesamoids and nearly kills the jockey, why would you commit that low act, for fun? you think? gee, people sell horses out of barrier trials, especially in NZ, so pre-race testing needs to be mandatory to curtail that behaviour.......I could go on but it's wasted....thank fuck there are some great, learned and experienced people on here that can see bullshit at 100 yards, glowing in the dark, the sooner the Feds get onto the cheats the better, it will come, I just hope I'm alive to see it.
  8. Many of the race tracks in Chile are outstanding and the facilities whilst very old are wonderful, at Club Hipico in Santiago their track in downtown has 20 races somedays that start in the afternoon and finish under lights. The Grandstand has grand salons that host weddings and concerts and you'd think you were in a grand mansion of yesteryear......if the world ever gets back to some form of normality, do yourselves a favour and spend some time in Latin America experiencing their horse racing, you wont regret it.
  9. Yeah, the populist answer would be, ''wasn't he the President of USA once?
  10. They were good betting races those highweights....
  11. San Isidro in Buenos Aires has over 2000 horses in work, brilliant training and racing centre, their bloodlines are still strong, but 20 years ago they were magic, Terry Willisee who owned and operated Trans Media Park Stud [Sovereign Red, Rubiton etc] used to fly over and bring back dozens of their best mares, many horses are still ridden bareback in track work, their horsemanship is on another level and Polo is a national sport.......they need Tina to do a half hour on weigh in showing videos, it would shame most at Petone, then again they're shameless anyway aren't they?
  12. Mate, when you've trained winners in 3 states of Oz give me a ring about Lasix, or Premarin......I'll have a wee chat to you. Have you ever held a trainers licence? Have you had to sit the trainers exam here in Oz that these buggers make everyone sit? You make some absurd comments and then pull the piss out of people with real arguments......
  13. Absolutely.
  14. I went to school with a bloke called Ces Pool, he started a business with a fella called Lew something......ahh, that's right, Lew Dax was his name, together they have a thriving business designing and installing/overseeing fixed odds betting systems......punting for dummies I think it's called.
  15. Why did the farmer involved in the troughagate refuse to give evidence? He wasn't subpoenaed because it wasn't a criminal trial, if you follow Ray Paulick and the USA drug cases you'll see that authorities of substance are vying to change that. When that happens you watch the burning rubber in other jurisdictions.
  16. You'll never know will you? You [NZTR] don't have any money for pre-race testing for a start, and usually cheats dope up when going the punt, but NZ doesn't have a gambling culture so you have nothing to worry about.
  17. Real Idiots United....
  18. Going on the Paulick Report they can now.......and what about retrospective testing, you know, putting the fear of God into someone who thinks he/she has been getting away with it? USA are now mandating gaol sentences for the fraudsters, so, it just might work.....you think?....does NZ freeze samples?.......or would that be a pandoras box.......you think?
  19. I urge all you inquisitive minded people to read the www.paulickreport.com musings on the upcoming [today] trial of Dr Seth Fishman in the USA. They mention an EPO mimetic, and The Washington Post is running the story also. You hear so many rumours surrounding a synthetic EPO and the only LAB reputed to be able to test for it being in France, however, with the revelations from Jorge Navarro and his gaol sentence plus the Jason Servis saga can we just hope this is the tip of the iceberg and we will see the dominos roll. Like the Weir affair, it only takes one person to roll over, racing integrity is crucial to TAB and corporate turnover growth, gambling will always survive, it's human nature after all, and we need our brilliant industry to be free of innuendo and grey clouds, is AUS/NZ free of corruption in our industry? History will say we are not as far gone as USA, and on the surface it appears so, disqualifications are still rolling along in AUS at an alarming level though, horse cruelty recently and Richard Laming is now gone for 10 months, his 5/6th offence since 2010 for misc offences. The most heinous was his EPO conviction. If our respective racing bodies are diligent and dutiful they will heed and observe the machinations unfolding in USA and in New Zealand's case, the urgent need to institute constant and stringent pre race testing at all race meetings in NZ, across the board not mostly the South Island as it has been in recent times. Ive been strong in my criticism of NZTR and their abysmal pre race testing, QLD has now slipped to almost the same level and it's disgraceful. Integrity is paramount, it starts with transparency and good governance, it's no good all this vitriol on new licensing protocols unless the very essence of integrity is addressed, and that's a level playing field for all.
  20. At least it's a start, of course there should be two race meetings a week in Canty, within a year a growth pattern would emerge, so with the new incoming CEO a deputation should be in the offing.......will it though? or will that wicked woman She'll B Wright win again........
  21. How long does it take to get a replay up? Has Bernie sent the office boy down to Kodak to develop the super 8?
  22. Now the chook is opening the QLD border from 22nd Jan to all double vaxxed without fear of quarantine.......as soon as your chook opens the border come on over, the water on the Goldie this morning was 25 and the temp up at Ipswich races is 35.....Freda would love that.
  23. Well well well, Will Clarken has to postpone his trip to Dubai as he is positive, so too apparently are Gerry Harvey and his wife Katie Page, who'da thought the MM would be a super spreader event?..........they were all vaxxed? the Supreme leader of QLD was there too, poncing about, I wonder if she's got a few sniffles this morning?
  24. [whispering] thank you, safe with us.......
