The strategy also allows Amanda Turnbull to train her horses without any help from her hubby too doesn't it? Although that hasn't gone too well lately Mikie

I'm not picking on you at all Gammalite and you must have misunderstood my post's I said you were talking rubbish about Lloyd Williams being refused a Trainer's Licence. As another poster has pointed out Mr Williams never applied for one I also thought this thread was about how good King Of Swing was My questions about King Of Swing, the other horse from David Aiken and the syringe was aimed at all and sundry although I thought, with you being an Aussie, that you would be in a better position to answer them hence the reference to you I don't know if you believe the excuse about the tight track or not, but I don't Mikie

No worries Gammalite What we in New Zrealand would call an absolute rort you call it a "brilliant", or a "not a bad strategy" I wish you were a Judge in New Zealand and I had you, now that would have been brilliant Mikie

Gammalite, with the greatest of respect, you are talking absolute rubbish King Of Swing is but 1 example of Mr Cross's absolute genius, he managed to improve a horse from David Aiken (a trainer who has won Group races) by 8 seconds (not .8, a full 8 seconds). That's pretty good isn't it? Wasn't there a used syringe found at the boxes of Mr Cross on Group raceday? Why were his horses even allowed to start Gammalite? Mikie

Gammalite quote: "BUT in 2017 the positive swab came up , she's out for a year (but who cares) , The Superstable continues as if nothing happened. Brilliant !!!" Can't follow you logic Gammalite, you think the above is brilliant? Mikie

Perhaps Noodlum However just because others have arrangements as well doesn't make everything all hunky dorey If that was the case anyone committing murder could say hey, it's ok, others are doing it And all Lloyd William's runners usually arrive on the same Truck for the races don't they? Gary Hall Senior, who has trained a few winners, couldn't get King Of Swing to win more than 5 races in 25 odd starts (that's 1 in 5) and he didn't feature in any Group Race he started in. His stake earnings were less than $100k Now Mr Cross (officially), has transformed the horse in to a Grand Circuit champion, winning 10 and placing 3 in 13 starts and winning over $1 million Can Gammalite (or anyone) tell me, is this because Gary Hall Senior was just lucky with the horses that won a few races for him, or is Mr Cross the harness equivalent of God? Mikie

Just to dwell on this a bit further Gammalite You are saying that Luke really is the Trainer, but Mr Cross is the official Trainer so that Luke can drive whatever he wants Even that seems a bit suspect but to carry it on further If Mr Cross received a disqualification, for whatever, you are saying that the horses would just continue to be trained by Luke and he would just install someone else as the Trainer of record? Mikie

Mikeynz The amount of horses trained in Canterbury dictate the amount of racedays Im not commenting on the venues, just the number of racedays If the fields are full or even just adequate, surely that’s better than gallops from Mongolia? Its the North Island that had the most worrying problem I’m not anti ATC at all, I won 2 Country Cup Finals there and it was a pleasure being up there, but how long before someone wakes up and realises that with their small fields that racing on a Friday night against Addington is just cannibalising Turnover. This comment isn’t aimed at this week or last weeks race nights, being Feature meetings Mikie

Since “joining McCarthy”? Who trains the horse Gammalite? Mikie

Karrots I thought my effort was pathetic Started well, fade quickly, heart fibrillation Mikie

Race 1 and I'm on the board Karrots Look out! Mikie

I'll pick all 10 winners If I get 6 I'm half a genius Race / Horse 1.............7 2............6 3..............2 4............6 5.............6 6.........1 7..............9 8..........1 9........2 Mikie

You can take it any you want I’m sure my ideas of how you should take it would be offensive to some Mikie

Brilliant Chief Now you don’t need to bat for Brodie Just move anything that’s detrimental to him Mikie

Fat Freddy might be Restricted. If he comes on this Forum and says he is Restricted then I ‘ll read his other posts and form an opinion as to whether to accept his statement as a fact or not I’ve read Brodie’s posts. I’m not prepared to accept his assertion as a fact. I think that he can’t remember some days which side of the fence he is on in some topics Mikie

If the TAB hasn’t sent him a letter then he isn’t a Restricted Punter He is just one of the thousands who try to bet too early on Fixed Odds and can’t get as much on as they want Brodie has held himself out to be a Restricted Punter, note the capitals, who has a limit set on what he can win with any and every bet Since I don’t know who Brodie is I can’t judge the veracity of his assertion, so I’d like to see proof The screen shots aren’t proof, if I post a screen shot tomorrow that has a winning component of $300, would you then just accept I am restricted to that amount of potential winnings on every bet? If so I’ll fix that assumption by posting a second screenshot Mikie

The last one may have been embellished a bit I think Eric shot it as it was being led to the wash afterwards(although there may have been 2 shootings) Trevor Phillips now at Morrinsville was in the wash at the time I understand Mikir

Or try the Eric Ryan method Tie a rope to the horse’s front leg When he bolts let him build up speed then pull the rope like removable ear plugs Apparently the horse gets the picture after a few times True story, remember the top trotter he had? Can’t remember if it was a 3yo or a 4yo RIP Eric Mikie

You are missing the point Brodie Most posters on this thread don’t appear to believe that you are restricted Please prove it Mikie

I’m not calling you a fraud Brodie, but I’m beginning to doubt that you are indeed a Restricted Punter It appears you think that getting a message like you have screen shot makes you a Restricted Punter It doesn’t, if it did nearly everyone I know is a Restricted Punter Thats merely a bet that the TAB won’t take and is common if you are having a Fixed Odds bet early on A Restricted Punter, for example Mr G.Beirne, is someone who has got a letter from the TAB telling them that they are a Restricted Punter If you don’t have that letter Brodie you may not be a fraud, but you may be full of crap Mikie

Why ask me? I’ve offered no opinion, view, belief or comment on restricted punters other than once where I pointed out that Brodie has told us he’s restricted 298 times, and once when I stated a fact about a colleague and his experience with an Aussie bookie However since I’m sure Brodie has stated that the Spitfire will never win a race I don’t find your suggestion probable as Brodie is always on the money Mind you, he also stated that the Spitfire would never run a place. Unless I’m mistaken, 3rd is a placing so he can’t always be on the money. Gosh, it’s confusing isn’t it Mikie

Doesn't every Bookmaker in Aussie restrict winning Individuals? I'm not restricted, I obviously never win, but my colleague was told to piss off after a year of losing bets followed by 1 big collect (and I saw the email) Mikie

That’s the best you’ve got Brodie? As I’ve pointed out it was you that said you were clueless to begin, and now you have referred to yourself as clueless once again Mikie

Brodie If MardiGras has made that comment about me I hope that I would have sucked it up and acknowledged it as the best one liner (well 3lines) I’ve seen on here for a while Mikie

That's great Brodie "Nah" has now taken on a completely different meaning for me Mikie
