Aus have 2 channel 7 stations running Olympics all the time, and coverage is fantastic. Lucky to have many events that Aus is in. Rugby girls for NZ brilliant. ! An Aus 100m runner going tonight in semi-final against the fastest men on the planet to get in the biggest race there is 'The Olympic 100m Final" Without BOLT since 2004 too , lol. Hope he (Browning) makes the final.! I'm seriously considering writing and lobbying for horse racing at the 2032 Olympics as the new Olympic sport. Horse and harness racing popular around the world. going back to BC even with pharoahs and Romans with Chariots. Would be a wonderful event . Sweden, France, USA, and Canada love their trotter like us. And i'm sick of prancing dressage horses , showy jumping, and eventing cross country . Time for a Change !!!!

I don't think I've ever watched a marburg race. Class is that low , it's just unbearable. Just watching Olympics and the BRISBANE LIONS lose just now !!! noooooooo. I only watch and Bet on GOOD WINNING horses. e.g Amazing Dream, Pink Galahs, etc (so No Addington today lol)

Your opinion is very good. you give reasons. I have been on Olympic forums and of course the internet is full of sore losers , as i saw with the totally biased comments. ( a lot of Aussies hate American swimmers it seems lol.....) Nina would NOT know who to take seriously here mate. It would look quite seriously Derogatory and disgusting to a NEW Poster mate, (who hasn't seen it all before, and had to see such Insulting remarks) You see races a certain way. Others just hate people. I think you are wrong with the assessment of Ben following Sarah off the fence behind SUGAR ME. He had No Chance of doing that IMO>>>> Apologies about Barnes , I would just go with the stewards report. I didn't notice anything.

Stipes here don't Muck around mate. 2 of the best drivers McCarthy and Butt got suspensions , winning or not ???? usually winning. lol.... haven't seen Herlihy suspended much? Shane Graham got a year (QLD leading driver at the time) for dubious drive, Trista Dixon got a year (wife of leading QLD Trainer ) for team driving with Grant. Don't see that happening there?? lack of Pro-active stewards maybe??

Doubt that mate. A lot of that stuff posted is vile and no one wants to read it. did you see the Mark Purdon comments? Any relative of the driver (ben or mark) would be horrified, and can't say someone shocked or upset is over-reacting? Unfortunately some people are trying to achieve that exact thing (like RD/Forb) and it is so UNNECESSARY.

Yes the stewards made Sarah watch the replay and issued a warning in the report. I'm Still a 'Why Put legs where Angels Dare to tread" sort of person . especially if on a loose rein regarding Ben .. JMO It's a competitive business alright !!! Even the greats of the game found out , with Luke McCarthy putting the legs of King of Swing in a peril- ful place with Mr Anthony Butt and Copy That crossing down. (In the Black's a Fake Group 1 recently) END result is a horse galloping and 4 weeks suspension for Anthony.

Ben gave the horse every chance to run 3rd. Tommy a clear inside run in the home straight. The first 2 horses were just too good. I would question the tactics Very early in the race , where Ben placed the Matthew Williamson drive in great peril I'M TOUGH by almost sending it into a gallop . I would of been yelling and screaming if i was Matthew. Quite un-fair on him. Sarah ultimately blamed for it by the stewards , squeezing Tommy Rulz down onto him , but geez that was ugly early!!!! could of been quite nasty.

Please Brodster, tell them to send another trotter like this bloke to Queensland.!!! (photo last night) Retiring after last night's win , the old boy OUR OVERANOVA ! once again off 40m handicap with Grant Dixon aboard for yet another great win, and Bowing out after 203 starts for 64 wins and 39 seconds (so in the quinella more than half his starts , even off the huge handicaps! ). 500k earnings. Please, please send us another beauty like this with the exports !!!!!

Been going great guns with the winners from NZ. cleared over 4k from around $400 outlay with the Great constellation carnival through July , and those juicy Amazing Dream wins, etc. excellent. Last night a grand go at Albion too. 5 out of 6 for me, with just Tommy Lincoln missing in the first race (third). but we saw SMOKIN BY (that horse of Kerr's from there) and Gammalite favourites ALTA ORLANDO and OUR OVERANOVA storming to deserved victory!!! , getting in some good multi's. no need for any footy/olympic bets with these type of horses around town, lol....... A horse Won I never heard of , a NZ winner at Westport and , Rangiora in the summertime, called SPORT MENTAL . I seriously looked at it for a first Albion Win chance, but didn't push the button unfortunately. SPORT MENTAL trained by a 'Colin Godden' . Is that a kiwi trainer ???

Well the Rowing Regatta went very well !!!!!!!! Here's the Rowing Regatta Medal table. Doesn't seem a lot of interest in the Olympics on the harness site unfortunately. But Anyway, Here it is .!!! I thought it was tremendous for NZ and Australia , being broadcast all round the world. !! and was special racing , for some fine athletes who trained long and hard for these medals. Well done to them all. Medals Sports results Countries Events Country 1 New Zealand 3 2 0 5 2 Australia 2 0 2 4 3 Netherlands 1 2 2 5 4 Romania 1 2 0 3 5 France 1 1 0 2

The Rowing 8 women's 'oh so close'. beat home the defending Olympic champion USA ok, but the Canadians have stolen it , holding off the kiwi girls ! spose shouldn't be disappointed with silver but was really hoping that one was getting home..... gave it all anyway!!

What a moment in New Zealand sport on the world stage. An interesting thing happened with Aussies in that tournament. They TIED with India in their Pool after the first round, so an EXTRA match was scheduled to see who would progress to the Semi against Pakistan. was still at 1-1 after extra time !! so in one of the most tense Penalty shoot-outs ever in Hockey. Aus scored all five goals, and India 4 out of 5 with one bloke Ajit missing. poor bugger that missed after all that!!! . Ajit is still trying to get out of Canada after all these years. lol........

Could never understand it , even when young and on my birthday when the Erebus disaster happened i was wondering, What could you possibly see out the window of a huge plane like that ?, to make that trip worthwhile. A white-out? low cloud, barren landscape. Would of been better just flying up and down the beautiful Canterbury plains (at a safe height) where there is infinitely more to see or any of the beautiful NZ or Aus coastlines. Don't think the folk on the Erebus flight had a clear day either . when mountain not spotted unfortunately..

How is Dick Taylor a harness racing Stalwart Chief???? He worked distributing 'Gaming Machines' around pubs and clubs in the 80's when those rotten things started up. And began the decline of harness racing. (and the sad social impact) Crap , the Blue Riband swim 100m just went off, and our Aussie bloke got beat 0.06 of a second. How close can you go.

A Win for the New Zealand men's rowing 8 at the 1972 Munich Olympics ! The only NZ gold of those Olympics . I was too young to remember. also Rod Dixon got Bronze in 1500m on the track. 2 years later to the tune of Steve Allens 'Join Togeather ' we did enjoy and remember much of the Christchurch commonwealth Games in 1974. brilliant. Rod Dixon only 4th in the 1500m on that occasion. (They { Filbert Bayi} went a world record with John Walker CBE finishing 2nd) The first great race I can ever remember seeing !!! At the 1976 Olympics in Montreal, do you remember the Interdominion final at the field Hockey? It was big BIG !! NZ defeated Aus 1-0 in the final !! golden moment for our nations. (and a silver one)

Well during this Olympic times was great to see the kiwis get a Win in the Rowing Pair just now. Grace Prendergast name reminded me of a great Canterbury harness trainer , Dick Prendergast, who battled away with some trotters and in 1987 won the Dominion Handicap with SIMON KATZ at that horses 102nd race start !!! just his 15th win too. The great man Dick Prendergast , doing the thing we all know results in winners , putting a youthful Anthony Butt on for the drive. ! t

Grazie, but Mumma Mia !! Think you'ii find most 'essere al verde' after Brodsters Tips. Caio bambino !

NZ going well in the field Hockey 1-1 so far at first quarter completion Kookaburras v Blacksticks. An Interdominion..? excellent! And the gallopers from NZ are having the same problem I think. Hope the prizemoney goes up soon so some stay to race.

Yes I see what you mean. Young Leonard was dragging back as KOS galloped inside him , and he still kept going back after. and Amanda Turnbull hit the back of him right back of field 2200m out ,and punctured the tyre then . Game over for him with that. Good on you with The Dealer !!! I was all over it . The Anthony Butt treble Tommy Lincoln-Tough Monarch (nice Oz trotter) into American Dealer to bring it home . $35-1 multi. I tipped it on another channel and got a couple of thanks. I'm thinking of taking down the Natalie poster and putting a Anthony Butt one, on my wall ? lol............ he's a bit ugly though lol......

rage is no good for the soul Karrots !! lol well the Girls rugby 7's will start now and leave it to the girls to Win the day (and gold?) Hope Fiji doesn't have too many big strong players like the blokes did....lol........... Grimson and Trainor still winning each week but you can bet every runner will be getting swabbed for a while . tried a quick Brisbane raid with a couple but failed . You have the wrong horse in the Queensland Chanpionship. Spirit of StLouis was driven by their stable junior Leonard Cain and got a flat tyre in the big shuffle up as KOS galloped. (Anthony Butt got 4 week suspension for that crossing too close with Copy That) You are thinking of Expensive Ego , who took on the leader . the third McCarthy stablemate. yeah I think he knew Anthony wasn't handing up and it took the finish out of Copy That alright. and the great AMAZING DREAM took advantage !!!! I got 40-1 ! wahoo.

Hahaha thought you'd climbed Mt Cook and gone skiing and learning some Italian . Ciao Karrots !!!! Nothing boring here . Davis has posted some stuff showing how the kiwi came across to Brissy and PUMMELED us, with brilliance! A local did knock off Spellbound and Amazing Dream in the Group 1 mares but had to pay $250 on the tote to do it !!! lol..... Spirit of St Louis Won the 4 year old Championship so the Sweet Lou's got something . We had some winners in the rowing today (and usual swimming) so Aussies aren't bored yet. lol... Is NZ upset with FIJI knocking them off in your National Sport again ?? very religious blokes with all the prayers and what-not , but the footy Gods answered and took them to Victory !! Party time in Fiji !! (if not locked down like chunks of Australia sadly) NZ due for a Goldie soon ? have a coldie while waiting. you bet.

Well an Amazing Dream did happen for the great mares connections !! with 2 Huge Brisbane wins at the carnival. The dreams are turning 'Amazing' at the Olympics for some too. Australia and New Zealand having a great day at the regatta !! the 2 crews of AWESOME FOURSOMES both WON for Australia.!!!! The men's and Womens FOURS have both Won for Australia just now !! What an exciting race ! Amazing Dream completed for those 8 rowers. 2 golds in half an hour. !! fantastic. And the kiwi girls got some Silver too in the womens double Scull just before that, Hannah Osborne and Brooke Donaghue bringing home silver for the kiwis in a great moment as well. Amazing Dream results !!!!!!!!

Well folks it looks like a Back packer has wandered onto the BOAY scenery by accident,!!!! and is having some sort of Amazing holiday. The gist of it here Dana Zappa (guess at name) is she is having a wonderful dream time travelling with her friends , has been skiing, the mountains are wonderful. has been meeting with friends for nice flavoured coffee while having a rest. When they woke up , they decided to get information on the mountains , found some new friends at parties during their voyage ...AND say unforgettable the advice they got.

Young Luke Whittaker having a crack at Albion Park today.!!!!! Maybe a working holiday , but He is no Anthony Butt. Luke competed in the junior drivers Championship i see at Chch recently . He has 40 wins in 4 years driving roughly? Somebody should of told him that if the Favourite draws 1 at Albion Park , the lead is NOT there for you to have..hahahaha He took on the Fav BITCOIN, in race 9 tonight at Albion and they whizzed 6 lengths clear of field lol...... Luke dropped in to trail but then ran last. The leader ran 2nd , driven by one of the Brisbane juniors Manzelmann (50 wins this year alone) who looked none to pleased with the unwanted kiwi attention lol...... as he grizzled away to the winner Pete McMullen for half a lap after the finish of the race. quite funny. Luke got no leeway driving in race 10 either , running 4th on the Favourite himself, and had a very unusual unsettled driving style up the straight lol...... certainly got his horses tail swishing. was very amusing .... maybe needs a few more videos of Mark Purdon and Anthony Butt to watch. lol..... once again that race won by Pete McMullen (Near best in Australia driver) with same driver quinella with Manzelmann.
