Com'on Karrots ! that's a complement , and meant no harm. Recognising your support for the place. ... We swapped Russell Rabbitoh for her. Noooooooooo!! hehehe ...thats a raw deal!!!! , although Rusty a great chance of nabbing the NRL title this year , so he's not complaining.

What the ?/# kiwi chick ?? hehehe you might like to claim her , but she's a QLDer through and through. Karrot's Park did see the great BLACKS A FAKE promoted to 2nd Interdominion 2011. behind I'm TheMightyQuinn after Smokin Up from Oz, was disqualified trying to sneak in over the kiwi stewards . The last Interdominion was of course won by the amazing Nat !! Ultimate Sniper at Karrots Park 2019 .. !!! perhaps Grant D could get Nat (his ex missus) to drive COLT THIRTY ONE at menangle Interdominion this year and grab the Win? his new missus Trista Dixon probably a bit cranky with him if he does that though lol...........

Hey , maybe that's LUCKY CREED ? a worthy nomination for great QLDer ever . (possibly number 3 after a great Miracle Mile Win) but here's the undisputed number one. !!!!! a familiar winning face in Nz too.? lol........

just finished some gardening , very overated in 30 degrees today. Mr galah you were looking for a rolling head when this thread started , so no good blaming Chief if that didn't happen. What do you REALLY think Mr Cameron deserved then ? if you were a stipe (and what did he actually get as a sanction ???)

Here's the New Colours !! combo of the Stars and triangles then? Sure to be 'Blessed' with Many Winners !!!

Just looking at Sarah's win in the Junior driving race yesterday Methven Race 6. Here is DENY EVERYTHING (sitting last in the back straight from 13 Barrier draw, in the Yellow Colours) What a completely Amazing Training effort. First up since a win 2 years ago in 2019 , circles the field from this point, 3 wide last bend pressing forward . (No One Could even track it up in fast 55.7 last half mile) and he runs down the Hot pot fav SOCRATES who had blazed out the 1.57 mile rate , (2.55.5 for 2400m incredible) now Mark JONES should take a Bow for that wonderful training performance! , as much as Sarah getting credit. Must be a Seriously GOOD horse that bloke. This frame photo down the back 1000m out gives me a real fright, as the 'death-seat' horse TETRICK number 8, gets head very low , without a head check . must be pretty scary for young Dalgety driving that one ???? crazy.

BlairO had 35 drives! past 2 weeks at the 4 meetings Addington/Ashburton for 2 Wins .oh dear. $1.40 for Sugar Me . $2.00 win div for Talent Agent . rest of the drivers have 'rounded him up' lol... Great to see the in-form Junior Sarah O'Reilly take over and get the win last Friday. (on Sugar Me) Driving very well Forb's !! BUT don't forget his 'Victor' in the NZ Junior driving Championship . John placed 2nd to SARAH O'REILLY , who smashed out 2 WINS and a 2nd Methven meeting yesterday . to beat John on aggregate lol... one was an unruly horse off 10m in a HUGE field standing start too. !!!! Great driving Sarah !! fabulous young drivers going around in NZ . who needs Blair lol......

JTeaz immeadiately called for 3 months minimum suspension . (for the Cameron drive 3rd Sept )at start of this thread . Now That is very aggressive !!! lol........ Since then Ross has steered the horse brilliantly tactically (twice) . for a third and a WIN on 5th and 10th Sept. Does those good 'steers' counteract the 'mistake' steer. I say yes . Jockeys run into pockets all the time at Royal Randwick for example with 100,000's dollars invested on their runners. They bounce back the next race ok. Mistakes tactically happen time to time . 3 months suspension won't help anyone ONE BIT . I Wonder if Ross got a suspension/sanction at all for the Sept 3rd drive?? (held up behind Sugar Me)

Oh ! and of course a South Island entry !!!! Brodster has arrived late with his entry. wants $1000 on it too !!!

Chief Stipe could have a crack too!!! Here he is applying 'new' driving tactics having spotted JJ Flash or the Galah trying to get past him,lol.....

Here's team Karrots . All dressed up and looking ready for action lol......

Put some entertainment on the track too Karrots. If the racing is boring like Brodster says you still need some sort of spectacle that involves horses. The EKKA here (brisbane Show) had all sorts of horses, as well as the standardbreds, to entertain. (stock horses, Police horses , even Chariot horses. The Chariots could do a lap or 2 of the track, and look quite spectacular !! here's team Gammalite

I think hard to win anywhere. COLT THIRTY ONE (the 2nd best QLDer ever) hasn't even been able to win this year. Even harder in NZ. Look at the size of those Methven/Ashburton fields? is like a lottery winning those. More good news for Sweet Lou's !! MIGHTY LOOEE , formerly of Dunns, a fav horse of Karrots , had first Menangle run last night. Sat last until home turn , then cruised past them like they were tied to the fence. to win very easiliy . Go Louee's !!

Fine NZer TRIPLE EIGHT was air-bourne tonight taking out the Caduceus Classic Group 1 at Bendigo. for new trainer Jess Tubbs. smashing em' in 1.51.6 knocking off 2 high profile local Vic's in General Dodge and Out to Play. Must be HUGE Victoria Cup chance now in 4 weeks time. ?? 4th win now in 10 Aussie starts this year since leaving NZ in January. At Brisbane they were going like 'Scorched Banana's tonight " in the fast class , and 'Leader Peter' cut loose with Will The Wizard 1.50.6 !!!!! 1.50.6 is going crazy stuff for Albion Park. ( that's like a 1.48.6 Menangle equal) with your Ray Green horse TOMMY LINCOLN 2nd and another old kiwi 'Northview Hustler' 3rd. How fast Can they go ??? TRIPLE EIGHT flying at Bendigo too.

The Group 1 Australasian Trotting Championship just hit the line . Seemingly without a kiwi entrant. But on closer look we find MAORI LAW , even though bred in Australia, has a great kiwi name and trained by ex-pat kiwi Richard Brosnan ! (and son Emmett partner) Richard now 72 and still a group 1 up his sleeve. !!! what a legend. a real loss to Nz trotting. And driven by another ex-Pat ANTHONY BUTT !! driven to absolute perfection as per usual. month off not stopping Ant's That's as good as an actual NZ training /driving win anyway. (another sign of the times? for Nz harness)

Countries Leading Trainers ? can't get a horse to tag on even a lap out ? One of the worst performances I've ever seen from any horse, let alone a Dunn horse. we used to have a bloke turn up at Albion Park each Saturday night with an open back truck. If you wandered out there half way through the program , you would see 3-4 horses on there munching on a hay slice looking about. that were kindly given to this man for a few dollars as you arrived at the course . sort of the uncompetitive horses having a gathering!!! guess where that truck was heading the next day . starting with M.?. I'd keep a place reserved for NED KELLY on that ride.

That horse piece of crap . took a lot of peoples money . bad for harnessracing. needs a cup or three of coffee maybe.

Well don't ever bet NED KELLY again. couldn't keep up down the backstraight? . countries Leading trainers ? with top driver. oh dear. I'm not having another bet after losing $20 on that and I am a fan of NZ harness racing !!! imagine how part time supporters feel with that horse in from $6 to $3.80 fav on Sportsbet. Am Just wait for Flemington tomorrow when more competitive lol..... no wonder harness support is fading. .

Well there goes the first . ELOEL looked to be cruising home turn (then only 4th) , but ALL the Blair Orange fans got the bickies instead. what is all that about? Oh dear. com'on John !! 4th is not gunna pay the bills ! lol......

Had a crack on ARAWA park Rotorua once . thought was gunna die, and horse would gallop for sure ! hitting like 50cm+ holes and all. Had to hook foot right through the sulky stirrup so didn't bounce out of cart. truly scary experience really lol. ran 2nd by some miracle after all that , albeit 4 lengths from winner lol.....

and enjoying with fathers day camembert and a lovely 28 degree Qld day , now ready for some winners !!! Has Brodster Ever tipped winners here ? can't recall any. High strike rate from Gamma with both QLD derbies Kukeracha galloping and American Dealer pacing tipped , along the AMAZING dream . how can you lose with experts like this around the place.?lol Thanks Forbs !!! i'll be on the quinella with Big bad John on NED KELLY , in that case .

Well John Dunn won big for me last week and with Classie Brigade from the pole , should nearly win again. Surprised Sundees Son beaten last week ?? maybe get beat again then ? John owes me for NED KELLY in the 3rd race. drove it colder than a freezer last week . home he goes today? Davis (a good judge) and others tipped Sod's Law last week. good 2nd . Wins this week ??

With Whippy around you need it !!!!!!!!!! and I'll raise you 2 bottles of bubbley for the day and only 2 pm here . where is the Addington tips to help me along ??? Just doing Flemington form instead . TOFANE my best , she's a sweety, and has got me buckets in past races. lol

just a minor correction . It was the 1971 Interdominion at Addington that Junior's Image won from the 'promoted ' winner STELLA FROST . a worthy winner anyway off handicap 24yards. 1974 saw Phil Coulsons sentence reduced by 2 years 10 months , (as probably feeling guilty about the absolute SEVERITY of it all) , getting the biggest NZ DQ ever handed out. But the damage was done , Phil had gone 'fishing' and never recovered from the nobbling of his horse ,such a sad thing. How lucky were the Dunn's then ?

If you are being honourable why bring up something that happened 8 years ago? hahaha i bring up stuff from 30 years ago all the time, must be Disgracefully dishonourable ? lol.... Things have been going on for years Chief, don't have to sweep under the rug. Nz trainers are fairly honest , horses get swabbed ,etc ? that's the proof you need. I'm still having difficulty believing the Dunn's got off in 2017 with a fine and having horses disqualified for Caffeine ?? meanwhile the Australian Coulson winning the 1972 Interdominion with Junior's Image got SEVEN years disqualified for caffeine ? OMG i've gone back near fifty years now !!! must be condemned , raving loony , dishonourable now lol...........
