  1. Nz Cup and NZ FFA. Group 1's on Tuesday and Friday. The Aussie driver beats him this time in the Cup . so that wrecked it lol πŸ˜‰. Self Assured wins the Nz FFA for the second year running giving ALLStars a Great quinella. So that's a HUGE Tick for ALLstars .

  3. Mark Purdon now co-training with son Nathan had a very good 2 days in Cup week in the 6 BIG group 1's AKUTA his best horse supposed to be the star of the Show , but came up with 2 Second Placings. Seems NOT quite at his peak for some reason after BIG Ashburton and Kaikoura Wins in the lead up to Cup week. AKUTA seemingly had his chance in the Cup with trailing SWAYZEE around the final bend and angled out turning in, but lost a length on him if anything. and the NZ FFA group 1 yesterday , he was 'dipsy doodling ' and 'hot-footing' a lap out near galloping , while in the lead . mind not on the job? wonder if he was doing some of those KRUG Stallion type of things ? and starting to think too much. Was 2 x Great Group 1 placings for AKUTA anyhow and Full Credit to his Victors . 'Swayzee' and 'Self Assured' tried hard and got the choc's will check out other allstars soon......
  4. Copy That never ran on the Friday either the past 2 years after winning the Cup. They just go so hard at it now is very hard to back-up? . AKUTA had his chance today but think you're right about the edge there as you say. . Self Assured won this race today , also Won the FFA last year too (at about 7 or $8 ) price. but sort of set for todays race by not starting last Tuesday. Fresh and Fit !! what a great horse... better than Gammalite I reckon. Purdons Allstars Win with Tactics yet again . But did just miss out in the Cup again too (for the 3rd straight year).
  5. G'day mate. I just wanted to know what is a Lay of the day ? or a 'Lay of All time'? . I kept reading that shit about Imperatriz all the time. Lay this lay that sounds like a bunch of old mother Hens πŸ˜„ What actually happens ? I have never seen a 'LAY' betting option . I take First 4 's and that sort of thing. Is it a Real Bet ? or are you actually just backing other runners when you LAY something? I've never seen a LOSE market ever? . just win and place.
  6. Absolutely the truth of it Chief. You've done a 'Brodster' and are right on the Money with this comment. I disagree with Mr Galah that Mark would 'pass on' things that help to future generations. All the stables have their own houses and we don't go in the Bedrooms. Hayden Cullen is locked out of some of the houses altogeather now it seems πŸ˜‰ The Galah has often mentioned his suspicions with Emma Stewart, Telfers horses deaths , etc ,etc and some 'Others' are always at Marky Boy's throat. Think other Cup winners like Geoff Small were into something too Changeover and that. guess everyone IS Doing Something This bloke GRIMSON always 'looks suspicious' bescause he hasn't made these horses himself. They are ALL well tried. Betterzippit picked up $500,000 winning in a Perth raid this year ? couldn't win a race at Manawatu lol. and the last 2 Interdominion winners too .. and SWAYZEE for Grimson, Holy Moly ....when trained by the Nz man Tim Butt who holds the Mile race record , held by MY FIELD MARSHALL, ran for him 8 times Midweek low class races this year (here in laidback old Brisbane) without even running a place. Not even fast enough to race Saturday Metro.? Grimson starts winning immeadiately mid year when he taes the horse? and now knocking off the best horse since Lazarus in AKUTA in a NZ CUP ?? I Think the world is suspicious now ........πŸ˜‚
  7. There's no way the media can ask any trainer what their training schedule is. A lot of stuff that happens is secrets within the 4 stable walls. (made that Cullen changing to Telfers very awkward I imagine) can guess why it didn't work out ultimately lol. The media I see like the Box Seat this week are incredibly 'polite' . They were just full manners about all the topics they covered. They even get Mick Guiren to come over to Oz and present on our 4 nights of harness coverage we get each year free to Air. guess he'll do a bit of the Interdominion next month. Can't see how it would be possible to question driving tactics, talk about whip use , anything controversial is just Not on the open Media agenda. Ethics and all . those guys are great. Very Professional and courteous approach.... like Ryan Phelan does here. the Butterfly dude obviously hates harness racing and would destroy it given half a chance. so glad he's not in the mainstream. someone should sue him for defamation surely.
  8. you did very well mate . you and Mikey in profit ....and I won $1. πŸ€£πŸ˜‚ Holy Ravioli $780.00 , Mikey $519 , Gamma $481.00

  10. didn't want that. is a bit much after Brisbane Lions and Brisbane Bronco's losing so narrowly in Grand Finals this year. Had AKUTA going for a sizable result. Swayzee = 0πŸ’°. anyway shouldn't grizzle about bets I spose ... just keep getting pipped . ( and before you ask NO.. I didn't back the AllBlacks so can't be blamed for that narrow loss πŸ˜‚)
