I went to Redcliffe twenty years ago and I needed cash out and I had to go to the servo as no ATMs at track then.i liked the parklands track.i went only once as I was on holidays at burley.when I was there I meet a old friend Steve single who was one of the biggest bookies in sydney.his horse he owned was running in the big two year old race.i told him he had zero chance of winning.he would run second to Lola's best two year old ever who was tough as boots with speed to go with it.i was right.the smarts won the other two year old event as I expected.what a great night.when at Harold park with my mentor who was the biggest punter I've ever seen from nz.he placed 13k on courage under fire from inside the back row at 1/8 on and Steve said to him if I get another bet like that I'll get it beat!my friend could not believe his ears but later in life I believe as Steve told me the yulestar story from the inters in brisbane.no one got done for it but it was all true

It is obvious the greats can lose there touch.ive been backing the chief David butcher until recently.now he's in the group of never to back.hes driving very poorly and the stewards have questioned alot of drives on favs
-
I agree with all said above.i do still think he went to hard for the class of horse.the horse was going to fast the first lap and paid the penalty.did I back it yes.i also backed John Morrison four times what a star.thanks for your posts.

Yes or no.will Jonny cox be charged and proven guilty of a very bad incompetent drive.i say the drive is in the top five I've seen.be fair as Tim Willams got outed twice on this charge. BUENA VISTA - weakened final bend. A post-race veterinary examination revealed a slow recovery and signs of muscle soreness. Stewards questioned driver J Cox regarding the tactics he adopted during the race when allowing his horse to establish a significant lead on the remainder of the field through the early and middle stages. After taking initial evidence from Mr Cox, Stewards adjourned the matter for further consideration.

Hi I enjoy your posts.your correct regarding gold coast.the filthy lieing criminal corrupt Qld govt Promised ten million dollars to rebuild the track at the gold coast.this Qld govt is going to pay in a almighty way for all there planned crimes.i was there for a sensational night seeing the last big race night including Fluer de lil.harold park was the best track in NSW to watch the horses.i saw courage under fire homes DG.biggest mistake moving from city locations to the outer suburbs.melton is just crap.been there but never again.mooney valley was much better.even met mark Purdon there with young rufus.met Gavin Lang at Cranbourne and he was the nicest person to talk to as was Chris lang.must run in the family.

Wtf.you have moderated me.i have not posted anything in months as a result and never will again.it took me $180 to bring a horse from 12 to 6 in NZ tab and Australia tab and I wasn't allowed to put anymore on.it got beat inches with Rory on the grass.steve lock trains now and it won with Alana on it recently.i don't even bet on NZ trots no more as pick six is dead and buried and so are the bookies.since it's changed to rating system it's reduced the outsiders seventy five percent.now there's no pools either.its a sinking ship not worth following anymore.what makes me laugh is someone as great as Mathew Williamson does even get many drives.its the home of wasted talent.

This young man is a star.hes driving skill is all to see.the improvement is astonishing.alot of trainers owners are looking very bad judges not using his talent.alot are waking up to this fact and giving this young star a chance to show his talent.nz is the home of wasted talent.zac butcher is prime example.there is only one place John should set his goals for.the USA is a goldmine.we race for peanuts.they race so much and for the most money and all the big players are there.there is no one since Dexter that improves horses when they drive them except john.he would be a star in the USA.honest as they come too.my blackbook drivers never to back b hope s tominson e Barron t Bamford C thornley g O'Reilly g smith K barklay m Hurrell and the list goes on.they must be the worst of the worse.

I'm not betting on this meeting in protest.ashburton is the worse track for racing in NZ.they never run fast times and it's a walkathon. -

Mossdale Connor improved ten lengths with lasix!Columbus, OH — In the second episode of USTA President Russell Williams’ three-part videos series on why the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act (HISA) law is bad for harness racing, he discusses the importance of why veterinary science should determine how best to use therapeutic medications and Lasix specifically. http://ustrottingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/RussellWilliamsMAHhp-250x180.jpg USTA President Russell Williams. USTA/Mark Hall photo. He argues that the prohibition of race-day Lasix was written into HISA for the optics of it in order to satisfy public opinion rather than following the veterinary science of equine sports medicine, which has proven that it is the only medication that treats Exercise Induced Pulmonary Hemorrhage and is what’s best for the health and welfare of the horse. Click here to watch the second episode, “USTA President Russell Williams asks about HISA, ‘Which One Deserves the Public Trust: Veterinary Science or Optics?’” In the first video, Williams explained that HISA is unconstitutional and discussed why the alternative Racehorse Health and Safety Act (RHSA), which is draft legislation created with the input of practicing veterinarians, horsemen, regulators and the USTA, should replace it. To watch the first episode, “USTA President Russell Williams Explains the Horseracing Integrity & Safety Act and Why it is Unconstitutional,” click here. The third video, “USTA President Russell Williams: A Small Group of Rich Men Want Racing to Go Back to Being a Rich Man’s Hobby,” will be released next Monday (Aug. 23).

Brad Williamson just got a whip suspension now he's going to get a dangerous driving charge on ohoka agent or more.a big suspension is coming from this one.not a very good look at all.might be looking at getting a holiday in the sun and heat!!

Thank you for the correction as I did remember the race and I still don't believe Dexter did what he did and cost you winning at huge odds.raphoe confused me as it just got beat at a massive price there two and thought it was unlucky not to win..Kim you were not that bad at driving still improving in a hard environment And hope you and Johnny have a bright future together and ARE doing very well at it.im to harsh when it involves alot money.so sorry for posting in not a positive way.

Thank you for that your good
