Gammalite

Why? what merits is that? Why have you decided Amazing Dream is better than the ever improving Beyond Words? Tonight he beat her on merit and sure Not by much. I've driven in a thousand races and can tell you it is quite permissable to take a trail on a rival, especially MORE SO in this case when Mark KNEW IT WOULD cart him right up to the sprint lane? An intelligent drive, and AS USUAL a great result for ALLSTARS. Your horse generally can relax that little bit more in a trailing position and not be rattled by someone taking on the leader if that were to eventuate, but talking race driving with you and Forbury is a forlorn task it seems.

You've lost the plot mate, and fancy coming on forums with crazy accusations against stewards and your harness racing Champions. Go support surfing or something where you don't bag the best there is. Mark is a WORLD CLASS driver and CHAMPION of the sport. He would beat you and me any day in a race and has ABSOLUTELY NO NEED TO FIX RACES in any capacity. why ?? God only knows what you think of the many who don't run anywhere in your races. And I'm not an Idiot , and not protecting anyone.

Come on Gammalite. Be honest. And to be honest Galah I am extremely disappointed that Mark didn't drive Ashley Locaz. I think Tim was setting up Spankem for the win in the Franklin Cup the way he drove it, so would definitely be more agrieved with that drive than Mark trailing leader with Amazing Dream in his race. so my $20 Q went west thanks to the FIXER running second. hahaha Irony you say ???? lol

Incorrect Galah, I said Amazing Dream could of run SECOND to Spankem NZ FFA , not win it. Trailing the leader is NOT RACE FIXING you fools . It is a PRIME position hahah , they even have a passing lane to give EXTRA ADVANTAGE these days. Gammalite came around Vinnie in the Interdominion final while he tried to run me off a bit as no passing lane then. but still WIN. The horse that beat Mark is a GOOD horse. Just led and won in 1.55 at ADDINGTON recently . Not an easybeat. You guys need to drive some races to see what its REALLY like. hahah. you don't always lead when you want hahah

Forbury have you driven in races? Have you ever sat in a stewards meeting? Mark has driven thousands of races. His ability is exceptional as proved by his results. What the hell are you going on about. ? He wins nearly everything, ? Blame the opponents ?? lol

Didn't get beat by much. Leader went 1.55 at Addington and won. doesn't that count?? $4.40 the quinella . what a easy one to get !!!! shame I doubled up on Spankem -Ashley Locaz Quinella though lol

Hahaha he just won twice at Addington during the Cup carnival.?? Are you just racing cats at Addington now?

The NZ Australian JAWBREAKER just led up at Ballarat at even money a few minutes ago. Run down easily by the trailing horse up the straight by a 10/10 Chris Alford drive trailing it. What was wrong with Marks drive again ? >>?? (Amazing Drean) trailing leader is a GOOD position you know.

To a degree Hunter, he has to think of his stable runners as well as the one he is driving. Only natural. But still Amazing Dream had every chance to win ? 10/10 drive yes?

That is rubbish Galah. Amazing Dream had every chance to win. Since when has trailing the leader been a case of 'Diminishing your chances'? had every chance.... Personally I think Marks only stuff up was in NZ FFA with Amazing Dream when he decided Not to shove his old stablemate The old Fixer out of the road and run second to Spankem, But you can't get it right every time. Mark gets it Right more times than you or I though !!! hehehhe

You say that every time he goes round. Beaten a head by stablemate that has great form ? What's your problem? trailed the winner every chance to mow it down.

Stupid whip rules these days to aplease the activists. Good whip work and LA ROSA wins and Allstars don't get yet another G1 win. ooooh well . well done Tim. sit without cover and still win. A GAMMALITE specialty !!! used to do it often. lol

Enjoy your party Karrots !! my missus at her work christmas party tonight so I have cracked some champers to have by myself hehehe Well it took a NZ record to beat Majestic Man. the Dunn trained 2 x G1 winner SUNDEE sat without cover and won like a stag. Doesn't seem to mind it's a Fridee lol ? NZ has a way of producing top trotters. Maoris Idol still the best though ! hehe He used to take on the Pacers.??

When I was young in NZ , they had just one FIRST 4 race per meeting. That was fantastic, as usually the feature race (not vitally so) a huge pool, a big divi, plenty of attention for the race that otherwise might not attract attention. (e.g Galloping folk having a crack at the trots) Loved It.

yeah I guess LAZARUS re-wrote the book on awesomeness !!!! lol The current Australian champion is LOCHINVAR ART who won last night at Bendigo under a hold. He beat your current best NZ cup winner 'Self Assured' twice at beginning of year when Mark was in Aus racing. EX NZer KING OF SWING is the second best, DID win Miracle Mile beating LOCHINVAR ART but a distant 2nd in one of Aus's biggest races, The Victoria Cup recently. King of Swing is very unfortunately in Brisbane for our Number 1 G1 race tomorrow night, QLD Championship. so our local hero 'Colt Thirty One ' looks like can't win our feature race sadly.

Was he the bloke in the false beard seen sneaking in to a tab recently?

Two of the 5 wonders from the West you mention there ! West Australians that led and won the Interdomion. Preux Chevalier , Village Kid, San Simeon, Baltic Eagle and Jack Morris ...... BUT surely the best you would of seen is the mighty GAMMALITE mowing down the 'goat' Popular Alm at Auckland in 1983 in a blaze of glory lol.!!!! also knocking over Delightful Lady, Armalight and Bonnie's C to win that. also GAMMALITE won a second interdominion the following year against some slow ones in Adelaide. hehe

Brodie is having a LOT of trouble getting a Bet on. Can't you just give it to him?

Well that is like finding the Otago team more interesting to follow in the rugby there, than the All Blacks?

Hey yeah, No Winterfell in the National trot coming up this year either (a race he also won last Christmas). So after the great Dominion H'Cap 2nd will be a great chance for MMan to grab a G1 in a couple of weeks !! best of Luck.

And would of been 5 feature wins if Winterfell came up this season , as this time last year Winterfell was winning the Trotting Interdominion at Auckland . ALLSTARS deciding not to win the trot this year. Gives others a chance in that one.

5 Feature races at Auckland this week. My pickis ALLSTARS will quinella 4 of them

Not just those tracks either Globe. Here's NZ derby at Addington with a nine horse crash, as Liquid Lightning jumped the winning post shadow after the start. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bp_HlBJwCQ0 thankfully All drivers and horses escaped serious injury Somehow??? Charlie Hunter a bit shaken but walked into ambulance.

Yeah places like Wagga and Marburg usually accommadate the real 'Hobby' trainers that can't win in the city. so still good to have them. Globe Derby is a METRO track and 850m around but is excellent to drive on (seems bigger during a race) and all get a chance. Nothing Beats Addington though. It's a ripper !! I Could Watch NZ Cups and Derby replays till the cows come home.

Had a look for one with Duke in its name but couldn't find it? Found one that Suzanne Herlihy bred called ' LL COOL J ' in tonight. Been going like a rocket with 3 wins from 3 starts in QLD. only paying $2.50 on Sportsbet though.
