  1. Yo Forbs helo hello, Must I say you are hilarious in a good way - sometimes not so much. Some of your posts are good in the sense that the things you say are good, you just call it how you see it. And it's good to bring some things to light. Some things that others are scared to call out. On the other hand, sometimes you go too far, in how you approach it. Now will you pick a winner with me for Camb, I might even go ... see how it goes. But number 1 rule for you Forbs is no getting rage if your winner doesn't come in. Come on. Let's see who wins. I'm likely going to bail out of here soon. Maybe like the All Stars come 31 Dec. Come back for special appearances. Chief come on, Brodie the star of the show. And sweet sensitive Gamms. Or what about the = winner Mikie of the last comp we had, best 3 y-o filly ... Come on people. And Rusty come on STICK it to us πŸ˜›
  2. I saw this early this morning and wondered when someone would post the link and great Davis the eagle eye link sharer found it and posted. The 1 thing that kind of amazed was the detail. Its so close to the exact detail that I was told. This to a degree amazed me due to Chinese Whispers and gossip can sometimes get out of control. I do recall however saying to a couple of people about this when I heard the rumours it is something that I actually believe unfortunately and I think its sad, sad for everyone involved.
  3. 12 races great. Here are my selections this is based on points so 3 for a win, 2 for a 2nd and 1 for a 3rd: Think this could be Majestic Mans for the taking. I was going to go for Bolt for B until I read that they expect MM to lead. If that is the case I have switched to MM, be catch me if you can. If I owned or trained the horse (which I don't, but if I did this would be what I would instruct), I would not run him full tilt, if he gets to lead until pressure is applied. I would utilize those Camb corners to hold the lead. I'd go full boost from about approx 600m maybe slightly before. Id try to save enough in tank to hopefully hold them off but def boost off from approx 600 m when that corner hits. Horse parked has to work overtime. (Ps I heard the driver knew he was beat at the 600 m mark in his last start. Bugger and good luck team!) 4 trots yikes. I don't usually like to pick on trot races but here goes below. Lynton Creek in hoping he gets a run thru or gets handy to get me some place points same as Bankers Gold hoping he is put in race at the right time.

  4. Hey MikeyNZ I'll tell you a lil story. I remember researching as much as I could re harness and wala, randomly on google this ABOAY pops up. I could not believe my eyeballs. Wow. Would you look at this. And so I read in spare time, thru the threads from beginning. A picture/personality of each of the posters I had. I watched, then moving forward reading for approx 12-18 months, 1 day, someone I care about name didn't come up but, something associated come up and I was concerned this person name might be brought up. It never happened phew and actually what was brought up was good. I was very pleased it was. I took a screen shot and sent it to the person, they too were pleased it was brought up. (This sort of thing I think BOAY is good for - you know talking about certain things). I created an account and had a wine, no more than 2 and then 1 night posted. Wasn't sure if I would be accepted on here, next day checked. Oh no-one is coming at me, ok good, cool. Ok keep posting then, but stay in my own lane and be mindful. NZ Cup was coming up and that was exciting, being involved in pick a winner, then of course the controversy after (I believe the noise from here helped to contributed to promotion of new starter), then I just kept posting, enjoying it - lots was going on. I had gone from watching this online reality show, star of the show was Brodie, to suddenly being accepted, involved and wait for it, now a main character myself. Wait, what, how did that happen. In such a short amount of time, this was never on the cards and not what I want/ed. Hence most likely slowly fade into the background. I saw on HRNZ that they are developing a new social media bullying and abusing online regulation which is great. That is the thing I dislike about here, which of course I have been vocal about prior. And as mentioned above I think BOAY has its positives too. Re M House - everyone has their own experiences, I spoke of mine. And as I said he was nice to me. I treat people the way, they treat me. I saw my horsie today. Boy has he grown.
  5. Ok so I watched this race once and wasn't paying too much attention. I didn't see anything really. But maybe I need to re-watch it and then slow it down again and watch it again in slow motion. I have briefly skimmed over these posts about the race. I'd need to read both sides of the debate properly and also do so re-watch properly πŸ‘€, which I'm not going to do, But as I said at initial glance, I didn't see anything. No never had a disagreement with Mikie. Quite the contrary. If I did it wouldn't bother me. I'd be fine to take a different view from him and would be happy to debate him.
  6. Hunts brought this thread to my attention. Since this is my last week posting. A lil stir waha. While I never meet M House officially, I had no idea, who this person was this year. As I have said I am new to the scene. He was friendly. Very nice person. Kept chatting to me. That would be how I describe. It was only afterwards, that I figured out who this friendly person was. Grrr, his horse beat the horse, I was there to support but only just. Now listen, Karrots is sweet, but competitive, super competitive, got that from living in the States. So watch out. Bring it. When Karrots horse racing. Rematch 😎
  7. Mi gusta el pajora Noruega. Gee my El espanol is getting worse from not living in USA for a bit now. And it was always basic. And my other languages that I was good at, are suffering too, from not being in those countries. Eeck. Yeah Hunts its getting boring now unfortunately πŸ˜’ But hey I was thinking I could make special appearances lol maybe around Jewels time and this time next year and if/when my wee one makes a race-day. I, for sure will come & say hi to those I have chatted with on here, if I ever get the chance to meet any of you. I hope so. You just wont know who I am haha. Let's just see what happens. But likely will roll out very soon.
  8. Well this is getting boring fast isn't it. Why don't the 3 of us just talk to ourselves. No-one even wants to play the Karrots guessing game over on Alex thread (where people prob think Karrots is being creepy lol - too late now Karrots will say no more), or pick a winner & contribute on Camb thread, no bites either on the useless steward thread. Oh dear, Im not going to continue to be 1 of only few posting on this harness side. Ill see how next week goes and then re-assess.
  9. Oh I see, yes nice. Meow, meow again. Where are these peeps that were hanging her out to dry hey Gamms. Say what up?
  10. Meow meow, JJ A Young Grant won race 10 today I see. Meow πŸ‘―β€β™‚οΈ
  11. Since you shared a radio story I will too, it cracked me up hearing a few weeks before the NZ Cup, on radio they had a comp, pick which name is real, they chose Spankem and AGs White Socks. They made up some weird thing like which name is correct is it Spankem or Spankembi..ches, I joke not. It was hilarious, listening. And the caller got it wrong, thought Spankembi..ches was correct. The way the radio host pronounced AG White Socks was different too. The person got both wrong, thought the other option not AG White Socks was a horse name lol. Who won bird of the year anyway this year? It was Kakapo right. There are some beautiful exotic birds in Central American. Also nice Scandinavian birds too.
  12. Flying Mile Camb Thurs. Giving people a heads up in advance, incase we play pick a winner. Putting positive vibes out for Majestic Man. Maybe his chance, but waiting for tomorrow noms/draw lol. Nice to hear different voices Camb and Puke workouts change refreshing πŸ‘ Could play pick race card? Points 1st, 2nd, 3rd = 3 for a win, 2 for a second and 1 for a third ... Gamms, Mikie, Davis, Dougie, Trotsfan, Forbs, Globe, Enchantee, MikeyNZ, Galah, Forbs, Rusty, Hunter or whoever else wants to join? I'll try to select properly, not chose just based on Sweet Lous 😁 Attention: New rule, will be no πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ getting rage πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ if your horse doesn't place 1st, or you will be stood down for 7-10 days! After fields are drawn tomorrow Ill post again re this.
  13. Opps I meant jaw dropping, not drop a jaw. Did not even realise there was such a saying. Anyways moving on.
  14. Maybe he was out chasing birds?
  15. You know Hunter Im guessing, what I am talking about. Who knows if its true hey. Time will tell. You are hilarious Mikey love it. Thanks for the info re Frank Spencer. Anyway Im off for a morning walk peeps.
  16. Hunter, you keep picking on Basil. Poor Basil 😟
  17. No. Sorry. I would have to google.
  18. I would probably not call myself a feminist. Not really. But boy are there some crazy things floating around. Enough for Karrots to drop a jaw. Guess if any of it is true it will come out.
  19. If anyone wants to vote for the best drive from Thurs meeting, go to the Cambridge facebook page to vote. Voting closes midday Monday. Winning driver gets a prize πŸ‘
  20. Just thought I'd say I'm not lesbian nor bi, so not to confuse the people.
  21. OMG laughing, I just checked and its already at race 10. So you are too late Mikie. Its that fast 10 thingee. Gamms, next time you need to give us more time to make selections, like I did. I think I gave 2-3 days in advance. I got a 2nd I see with Firefox, bridesmaid again. Anyways logging out for day/nite.
  22. Yeah I know it is a bit stinky of me. But I’m not retired or close to it, I think a few of you on here are, Gamms, yourself, Brodie, Happy, besides its Friday afternoon/evening during silly season + I don’t really know heaps of South horses. Of course I know of all the Sweet Lous in NZ racing currently. Plus if I go to Alex tonight, I need to focus on maybe picking a winner there. Yes I know excuses, excuses. Sorry guys. I’ll join in properly next time.
  23. I'll participate in this since, you did in mine πŸ˜„ I'll just take the 2 Sweet Lous 🀣 Firefox and Fabrizio Might head to Alex tonight ... not sure, a lot going in the City of Sails β›΅
  24. Nice one. Thanks for that Gamms. Oh I thought of something I could contribute here. Going back in time, when I was young I can remember this tongue twister One one was a race horse, two two was one two, one one won one race one day and two two won one too πŸ€—
  25. I saw on box-seat recently they DNA tested him, as they thought he could of been a Sweet Lou. Funnily enough I had been thinking that exact same thing too. So good they did the test, to confirm, nope he is an American Ideal. His 1/2 sis by Sweet Lou - Sweet Maddison goes nicely too won 8 from 16. The dam I see is Maddisons Delight, the 2 are her only of racing age so far, so another nice dam πŸ‘Œ Anyway back to your talk, I'm getting a harness history mini lesson πŸ˜„
