  1. I'm trying to get the keg prize there for you mate . but the dinghy is bloody sinking so i'm just gunna have to drink myself out of trouble lol 😂 Hope you backed a winner or enjoyed the great Group racing action. 🏆
  2. The big day in Nz concludes with BD Joe proving what he could of done at the Interdominion. Aussies are lucky he didn't Turn Up. After a punishing day beating up on Argentina and the West Indies time for a Beer !!! Bad luck Blackie 😩 ... 2nd again mate . Mark refusing to get you over the line. Marky Boy helping todays BOAY Barrier challenge Winner TROTSFAN take victory with Millwood Nike from the 2 gate instead. 🥇 Winner 🍾 = Trotsfan with 28 pts, congratulations winning from the 2 alley. second = Blackie 24 pts , a great second yet again from crap alleys lol. then followed Michael 22 pts, Gamma 22 pts, Hunter 20 pts , Davis 20 pts MikeyNZ 18 pts, Brodie 16 , Rangatira 10, FlyBaby 6, The Galah 6 points
  3. Krug the only Big race I remember in the Great Northern Derby last year. 'Bolted' out of control clear of the field on Tony Herlihy, but still won. Ususally the casual rule is "The harder they pull, the faster they Stop" . I never won a race on anything pulling like that ever. They often give up in a stride or 2 if overdoing it for 2 laps like that horse just did in Oaks.
  4. The three bigger better best barns to the fore in the Oaks with the Allstars, Telfers and Dunns all in First 4. Olivia hangs on (for dear life in the running) and takes the points for Rangatira. and the Oaks victory too lol. Gamma's OBSESSION with great harness racing sees 6 points for the 'sub' running 2nd. one to go . After Race 9 : Trots Fan 28 pts, Michael 22 pts, Gamma 22 pts, Hunter 20 pts , Blackie 18 pts , MikeyNZ 14 Brodie 14 pts , Davis 12, Rangatira 10, FlyBaby 6, The Galah 6 points.
  5. No Matter What that was quite an amazing Oaks win. young Olivia couldn't hang on to it , but it still won lol.
  6. Looking good for a Big finish in the last race. MP sitting on a High-Five🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆💰 could he win the Oaks ? If Nat hands up to him maybe. but not a good year for 'Queens"
  7. Race 8 results The Nz Trotting FFA . a gift for Muscle Mountain drawn in one. so Michael a strong chance of the race to race double with the Oaks up next and Nat drawn well. meanwhile the 6 Points for the Big 2nd by the rank outsider TIME UP THE HILL for TrotsFan has seen him trot off into a big lead with 2 races to go. The 2 Alley proving a dream draw for that horse. After Race 7 : Trots Fan 28 pts, Hunter 20 pts , Blackie 18 pts , Michael 18 pts, Gamma 16 pts, MikeyNZ 14 Brodie 14 pts , Davis 12, Rangatira 10, FlyBaby 6, Galah 4,
  8. The New Zealand Derby . Like a MEGA-Star the commentator said . AKUTA How good a 3 year old is this ?? Beat Self Assured home in the Nz Cup recently 4th with a grand effort. 3 wide then attacking the last lap in this Derby. Newmarket would be sick with depression today. Well done Mark Purdon. Legend of the sport reigns supreme !! Is that about 13 or 14 Derbies he's Won ? MikeyNZ wanted the '8 Alley' for that boy , and Wow ! was he right or what . staggering performance. After Race 7 : Trots Fan 22 pts, Hunter 20 pts , Blackie 18 pts , Gamma 16 pts, MikeyNZ 14 Brodie 14 pts, Michael 10 , Rangatira 8, Davis 8 , FlyBaby 6, Galah 4,
  9. The 2 year old trotting Fillies hit the line and it's the BRODSTER. Always full of HIGH ENERGY , Brodie trots his way right up behind the leaders and is ready to pounce. Trotsfan trots to the lead with The Ivy League 2nd in that race. After Race 6 : Trots Fan 22 pts, Gamma 16 pts , Blackie 16 pts, Hunter 14 pts , Brodie 14 pts, Michael 10 , Rangatira 8, MikeyNZ 6 , FlyBaby 6, Galah 4, Davis 4,
  10. ALLSTARS First 5 home in the 2 year old Colts Jewel Race 5 !! fantastic ! I collect the $1.90 quinella lol. 😂 should of just backed the winner With the 'Grand Master' MARKY Boy on-board DON"T STOP DREAMIN Blackie !!!! Gamma attacking hard 3 wide now is up to pour on the pressure 😁🤣😉 Halfway through the Card. Self Assured waiting in the wings. After Race 4 : Gamma 16 pts (with race to race double) Blackie 16 pts, TrotsFan 16 pts, Hunter 14 pts , Michael 10, Brodster 6 pts, MikeyNZ 6 , Galah 4, Ranga 4 , Davis 4, FlyBaby 4.
  11. Trotsfan takes 4th with the filly running 4th. Brodie up for 2nd in the Trotters Derby.with 'Mystic Max' out of the 7 gate so is On the Board !!!

  12. Nz Trotters Derby hits the post as a bit of a 'dogs breakfast'. The 4 favoured runners Double Delight, Highgrove, Hot To Trot and Masterly all having all sorts of trouble keeping their gait. with Christmas approaching Jesus of 'NAZARETH' has risen to the challenge for Gammalite to hit the score sheet. Maurice on 'Con Grazia Love' may have gone a bit too quick out in front and left himself no petrol late on. not sure who got 4th yet so add that 2 points in later. After Race 4 : Blackie 16 pts, TrotsFan 14 pts, Hunter 14 pts Davis 10pts, Gamma 8pts, MikeyNZ 6, Michael 4 , Galah 4, FlyBaby 2. no sign of the Brodster yet?
  13. After race 3 TrotsFan has taken full advantage of barrier 2 with the potential champion MILLWOOD NIKE. Could be the next Adore Me and just keep winning and winning. Blackie wanted the cheque , but is gunna need Paul Nairn to pull another MASTERLY training performance from barrier 9 for him to get in the money here in the Trotters Derby coming Up. TrotsFan expecting Maurice to WIn this and take the lead off Blackie and crush the dream ? 😁 After Race 3 : Blackie 16 pts, TrotsFan 14 pts, Hunter 14 pts ( John Dunn 2nd for him in that one) MikeyNZ 6, Michael 4, Davis 4, FlyBaby 2.
  14. Well Blackie has got that winning feeling in the CONFESSIONAL on a bright Sunday at church. and been handed the Group 1 ... 2 year old trotter of Paul Nairns for a solid win . picking the number 9 in 4th as well. very sneaky and well played. Paul Nairn with the 3rd placegetter too. showing his mastery of the craft..... Blackie now 16 Points (with that 10 pt R2 haul) , Hunter 8, MikeyNz 6, Trots Fan 6 , and Michael 4 points
  15. Race 1 The Unhinged Pace has gone off and Hunter leads out from barrier 4. One of his favourite blokes the legend Nigel sponsored it too !! Think Chief Stipe should get Nigel (Unhinged) on here once a week to Chat on stuff.? He has account here. Points after Race 1 in the challenge. Hunter 8 pts , Blackie (in from eating pies at barrier 9 in the stands) 6 pts, Michael 4pts, TrotsFan 2 pts. Anyone with any comments , please by all means jump in and comment about the great racing action today !! Or if you think Blackie is dreaming , when considering a Comp win 😉
  16. About to start the big Race Day. FINAL FIELD (some races indicated the player with a scratching or outsider will get an additional or replacement second row runner. So EVERY Runner gets a Supporter !!!! Michael Number 1 every race (sub 13 in R6) TrotsFan Number 2 every race ( + 12 in R7 and 14 in R9 ) Rangatira Number 3 every race ( + 12 in R4 and 12 in R5 ) HunterThePunter Number 4 every race ( + 14 in R4 and 14 in R6 ) Fly Baby Number 5 every race ( + 12 in R2 and 15 in R4 ) Davis Number 6 every race ( + 16 in R1 and 16 in R9 ) Brodie Number 7 every race ( + 13 in R1 and 12 in R3 ) MikeyNZ Number 8 every race ( + 12 in R6 and 12 in R9 ) Blackie Number 9 every race ( + 15 in R1 and 13 in R2 ) The Galah Number 10 every race ( sub 12 in R1 ) Gammalite Number 11 every race ( sub 13 in R9 ) ok then, let's see who todays lucky BOAY barrier player is. All the best for a great Days Racing !!
  17. Yes it is a lot of money for a 'country' Cup. maybe they have an Underwriter of some kind?
  18. No worries mate. Bolt for Brilliance a very nice 2nd from the '2' alley at Geelong just now at the Interdominion. Be lovely if he draws that in the Grand Final. 🏆 Meanwhile tomorrow , you'll have the amazing Millwood Nike storming to victory from barrier 2. and best of luck with the rest !!
  19. Round 3 Geelong tonight, and The BOLT of Brilliance went very nicely for young Josh Dickie and the Nz fans. Finished alongside the Winner JUST BELIEVE (who won all 3 of his heats) so into the Grand Final they go next week as the 2 Best Chances . seem miles better than the rest. Queen Elida maybe third best. Jess Tubbs and Greg Sugars have another trotter in tonight's Heats as well. Owned in New Zealand I think. And drawn 1. ONE OVER ALL . should go very close with Jess and Greg in hot form. and a delicious 9-1 as well lol...
  20. Barriers 1, 4 , 8 and 9 are Gone . STILL AVAILABLE , are 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 . anyone have any of them as lucky number? Rangatira old mate, are you about for a big Sundays racing ? Mr Brodie?
  21. You've just missed getting Akuta in the Derby too 😁 (drawn 😎 8 lol) but snagged CYRUS instead , who nearly got you the win last comp at barrier 9. Will jonny Cox pull out a Big Drive for you ? hehehe. Hey SELF ASSURED looks a monty in the last. so you at least get 8 points 😉.
  22. Example s of horses you would get. If you select Horse No 1 . you get Muscle Mountain, True Fantasy (and 8 others) if you select Horse No 2 . you get Millwood Nike, Con Grazia Love (and 8 others) Horse No 3. you would get Oscar Bonavena (last years FFA winner) and 9 others Horse No 4. you get Republican Party , Ardiebythe Seaside (and 8 others) Horse No 5. you get Franco Indie and 9 others Horse No 6 . you get Hidden Talent, Majestic Man, BD Joe and 7 others Horse No 7. you get High Energy, Krug, Wheels of Fortune and 7 others Horse No 8 you get Southern Diamond , Akuta and 8 others. and Horse No 9 you get Self Assured and 9 others. I will use the second row horses as SUBTITUTES which will be allocated before each race for scratchings and to cover 'rank outsiders' . Points will be 8 for !st, 6 for 2nd, 4 for 3rd, and 2 points for 4th through the card. Please post your lucky number here. (best of luck with it) first in best dressed , if number taken already, you will have to take a different one.
  23. The last 2 meetings at Addington have seen only 2 Winners that were drawn at barriers 1 through to 4. 17 winners drew 5 and wider showing what a fair track Addington is at giving every runner some hope. For Fun on Derby Day , lets support Every runner on Derby Day at BOAY by having a TOP 9 SHOOT-out. THE CHALLENGE = Pick a barrier draw number (or lucky number between 1 and 9) , then you get every Runner carrying that Saddlecloth number for the whole 10 races !! Please reply Here What Horse number you would go with for the Derby Day. between Numbers 1 to 9... 9 BOAY players needed .. Blackie, Mr Galah , Brodster, anyone welcome...
  24. On the Grass Specialists ?
  25. I believe Mr McGrath has solved the main issue worrying horsemen and harness racing integrity by withdrawing his application . so issue solved. The Invercargill trotting club (like and club going , even Interdominion council do it to suit ) Should be Allowed to program whatever race conditions they like. It's their race. If they have enough money available this year or any year to make it a Group 1 at $100,000 , then Group 1 horses should be encouraged to start. No Issue. Issue Not Solved = demolishing the Noel Taylor Museum for a car park at Alexandra Park ?? and just having all that remarkable memrorablia, packed in boxes? like has happened at Addington and Ellerslie too apparently.
