I don't think you're being scammed though. (Definitely would be, if they laid off into a different pool, or another race) BUT If they TAB put it /some of it/ in the Quinella pool for that race. Fine By Me. I just have to cop the $1.70. That's where it would of been, and possibly would of paid (more likely $1.05) if BoysGetPaid put in on the tote, by not getting a special offer price. (I imagine the special offer is for 'continued and outstanding support' week to week.) fair enough. They suck up to high rollers at the casino as well. small fry just have to suck up the dividend posted. nothing new. Plenty more races after that?

Crikey Karrots !!! that looked particularly nasty. When a Cyclist can't recognise the Stallion in the harem , Things go wrong quickly. I reckon with that force , that guys arm is broken......... ouch.... stallions bite HARD.

Ohhhh Ok , In that case both the mobs should of done it 'behind closed doors' then. As everyone knows mostly A LOT of big bets go on behind closed doors (with varying odds) that you, I ,or especially that big player Brodie would not get, be offered. My immeadiate thought was 'Thats a big bet involving 2 horses' ? Twice the chance for something to go wrong. But must be nearly 'over the line' for that much money to be on. Thought about taking it myself.

Weight of numbers sure is an important factor in being a dominating force. (like Te Akau and Allstars) BUT don't forget , just like everyone else , these outfits select yearlings at the sales and/ or have Owners who breed from their stock , so Richards /Purdon/ Rasmussen have to APPLY their procedures and skill to get that stock to the Winners circle. And Mr Richards doing slightly better than predecessors as Freda said through this thread, and Mark Purdon , already a fine trainer, went to absolute 'Stratosphere ' level when Natalie Rasmussen joined him a few years ago. (she was already a champion winning 4 Interdominions (biggest harness race there is) with Blacks A Fake. Think they have won the last 5 NZ Cups and Auckland Cups as well. Totally amazing trainers !

With A quinella pool and the dividend paid, always depend on the amount of bets on the correct combination. What's new? Fixed prices can adjust as well prior to an event , depending on how many combinations on each offer. That BoysGet Paid bet was huge , why shouldn't the tab draw from the pool (as they always do )to pay it? seems only fair. Also BGP gave everyone else the 'Heads-up ' to take that combination as well if they wanted. Fixed price Quinella seems a little hard to control as just so many combinations. ? crazy stuff. I think it's a miracle it didn't pay $1. 05

Well that is Bad Luck for the Punters unfortunately as Blair Orange let them down. A RULE he should of been very conscious of after the 2016 episode too, for the same thing. Levels should be ZERO . (my personal opinion for car driving too) and how much the reading is and speculating whether "I'm FINE to drive, Only had one (or two at the most I think)" should not even be a Factor. Horses race in 'close proximity', even the best drivers like Blair need to be 100% concentration to keep the safety aspect 100% under control.

Hahaha NO Brodie, NO driver should be drinking any alcohol before race driving whatsoever. Even in Hot Old Queensland here menand young mates driving, nor anyone else ever drunk before the races. Better to run with the Zero reading my friend !! Have a beer AFTER THE LAST and if you did a 'Good Job' and drove or tipped a winner OWNER"S Shout !!!!

Macca's at HILLMORTON on map, looks a good place for a feed on the way. If you were running early , you could call in BENTWOOD wines.....

Com'on JJ !! play the game, fair dinkum, this is public forum. Anyone registered can respond if they want. Message Brodie with your 'private' stuff if you don't want other comment. Brodie would be De-Lighted to hear from you. ?

Robbie Holmes thinks He's on holiday at the Mot today Brodie , or having a party anyway with 2 winners so far. In race 6 the trot at the Mot your 'Top' driver TIM WILLIAMS smashed into Robbie's wheel 200m out and galloped. So 'big-time drivers make errors too. Robbie didn't even look at Williams horse PRINCE RANIER either, even when got of got tipped out, he certainly went up in the air. (Robbie himself that is) Focused on pressing on to victory !! classy !! think he must of heard you telling him off ...lol.......

Over the limit? Must be tough getting a good breaky in NZ. Is there No McCafe with coffee and McMuffins on the way to the Mot ?

A real black eye for the entire industry will result. Alas, Problem gambling spirals people's lives 'out of control.' People should just sign up with BOYS GET PAID to keep it all under control ?

Bad Luck missing a spot on the winner ownership there Chief. A Te Akau First4 in a million dollar race. Quite a feat for their resume'.!! And hard to believe DanielleJ missed a part of that action in the F4 too. ? Big odds that happening ?

At the 1100m McKendry gave SUGAR APPLE (Zachary Butcher) that big a bump ,it virtually did a left turn as Zac tried to avoid the unnecessary contact . just about went 5 wide on the track. Sugar Apple was 8th at the time and up to the death seat 100m later at the post a Lap out running 3rd. I would say that is PLENTY of Forward Momentum. Doubt McKendry would like anyone doing that to him. Got his 'Just desserts' posted 3 wide last lap with OHOKA CREED, looking silly , so all good.

That was a 'Learning' experience for those youngsters for sure. Zac Butcher drew the outside gate and tried to go back, but the pace slackened to a 32 second quarter, so had trouble Getting SUGAR APPLE back to the tail. Maurice Mckendry pushed him out 4 wide 1100m out like a bully-boy, so then Karma kicked in !!...lol ... and Maurice stuck 3 wide for the last lap. lol..... Zac preferred the death seat to letting McKendry past. ... Gammalite driver rating for that is Zac 5/10 Maurice 2/10 hahaha... Cran Dalgety horse up front looks a beauty !! he'll be winning a few. 10/10 !!!

Further further updated list M Purdon - Future C Dalgety R Todd T Chmiel B Purdon S Reid Well that was a good one, was just watching Addington R3 to pick on STICKMAN , as seemed to be racing poorly. Thought Terry Chmiel might not 'make-it' to help replace the ALLSTARS void that has been left, (on the list) then Strike a Light , STICKMAN won easily untouched !!! hahaha now have to say 'well done Terry!' welcome to the list, a worthy addition filling the void.

Haha hehe no I'm the Tassie devil, not the Daffy Duck, you'll have to defend your tipping crown Karrots , or be forever remembered as 'What might of been" . Maybe no-one cares who wins at Cambridge ?? lol.... whatever, can't see why people can't be keen for the sport still , like your good self. It's the only hope it's got.

sorry for dumbness , but just wondering is CWJ related to Peter and Danielle ? My guess is CWJ and Peter are brothers ?? but no matter what article I google it doesn't tell me ?

Hahaha Karrot Rage is good. lol maybe you pick well now !! Just giving Milo and Roman a chance to knock the current champion Karrots off !!!!! if they turn up late. No body else seems interested but just a fun thing for a laugh while watching the racing. HEZACROCWATCHER not in , which was my only bet last week , so will have to find another ???

What a piss poor week or two this year has brought so far. 1/ GROUP 1 BALLARAT Cup is on this weekend and NO kiwis !!! Kiwis got trifecta last year with Hope horse knocking off 2 of the Allstars !, and kiwis have won the last 5 Ballarat Cups. Bloody virus shit.!!! .......... easy win against hacks for Lochinvar Art at 10-1 ON now. not even worth watching. 2/ OZ Flogged in the cricket by India !! WTF they didn't have their captain and a couple of 'Net' Bowlers played against Oz full strength. ! full strength is weak as piss. lol. 3/ Trump pissed off to Florida today, instead of welcoming in the New President as has been tradition for 150 years. Another PISS poor Loser !!! 4/ Tennis Australia flying in 1500 Tennis people (10 infected) to risk everything in the community against this fucking virus , (while hundreds still stuck overseas) losers !!

Karrots are you putting tips on for tonight though ? on the home page punting selections. Roman and Milo might turn up and you should see if you can beat your record 22/ 30 ? only 9 races this time.

Hahaha yeah 2 examples in this thread with Philip Butcher 'caught' in the deathseat in 6 horse fields...... not his finest drives ! by any stretch lol........hehehe Mark P would of given him a gobful in that NZ FFA with the 'kamikaze karrot' drive on AWESOME ARMBRO. Then he gave a junior driver a gobful when Max Phactor couldn't get the lead ....lol....fun and games...

No,..... just looked up the horse Wrangler after you named him , and early 2018 races. I've written about him (Wrangler) and Alta Orlando recently. Two great horses that from Always having ability (and injury) and having to race the best all the time , have just missed having Remarkable careers themselves. Example :- Just One week ago at Menangle result was ...................... KING OF SWING (champion) 1st then daylight margin ,then ALTA ORLANDO 2nd ( potential champion who missed out) then more daylight, followed by WRANGLER 3rd (sort of reduced to third rate citizen unluckily) ...then heaps of daylight to heap of Aus battlers. three great ex-pat kiwis for sure !!

Karrots with a remarkable 22 points out of 30 last week (The Home town Heroine?) BUT Milo and Roman both had 20 points , pretty good stuff !!! and want some Revenge on Karrots ?? ALL 3 of these players got 18 points the previous week with excellent tipping. anyone think they can beat that ?? Have a shot at the title. Gammalite thinking he's only in it to run a distant 4th lol... , but still "be in it . to win it !!' life motto. R1 Sky High Flyer R2 Six times a lady (wonder if he'll lead like Wrangler did Karrots hehehe) R3 Sunny Petite R4 Ideal Prince R5 Spirit of Anzac R6 Son of Patrick R7 New York Minute R8 Nudist Beach R9 The Peacemaker

3 years ago Karrots 23rd Feb . just watched the race. Max Phactor (Phil Butcher) attacking Wrangler like no tomorrow, only a 6 horse field too !!! Phil looked quite upset during the running even, put Wrangler to the sword down the backstraight altogeather (who ran distant last) Not a great drive by the junior at all , I'm afraid. sometimes one should yield. or maybe Phil could of yielded. Nice 1.54 mile rate win for Pats Delight the result !!!! lol..... WRANGLER been at Luke McCarthy's in Sydney since later on in 2018 ( 46 starts for 12 wins) One year ago exactly he ran a 1.48.8 mile to win. Since then only 2 wins in past year for Wrangler??????? How hard is it to win when you have a horse that can run 1.48.8 and only win twice in following year? CRAZY
