  1. Gossip and innuendo? Maybe gossip, but no need for innuendo at all! Truth will out!
  2. Trotsfan, you are correct, why would Tim leave just before the Jewels Day? Just remember everyone, the trainer is Hayden Cullen, as Mark and Nat are taking a Claytons break from harness racing! If you still believe that, you will still believe in the tooth fairy! Tim is better away from it anyway!
  3. Chief, Brodie is on the money! True story will come out no doubt! Yes Tim is a fine bloke and did a great job for the stable over a number of years, and I have no doubt will succeed in The future!
  4. Maybe Tim was not going to get any drives from the stable, even if he was still there!! Maybe the orders are not being given by the person named as the current trainer in the racebook! Brodie as always, “on the money”.
  5. Jj, just shows you then, that you can be very successful in life with a very low IQ doesnt it? You clearly have a very high IQ, but very unsuccessful in life! Thems the breaks!
  6. It is more about the challenge Ranga, however why would I do the homework for next to nothing???
  7. Actually 2k is not really enough however they are not offering $2k on NZ harness JJ! Looks like $500 on harness!
  8. “ Discriminatory” Exactly! Punters being treated not equally!! Chief, very interesting, wonder if NZ follows? Probably not as they do not understand what they are doing to the general wellbeing of racing in NZ, Hopefully they will see the error of their ways and their flawed business practice that is costing them big turnover!, Being restricted often to less than the cost of a couple of beers, you should be able to appreciate what some of the restricted punters in NZ have to endure!
  9. The hobby trainers in Dunedin will probably give it away without Forbury meetings! You are deluded if you believe the tripe of increasing turnover of harness racing. And that things are looking good. As I have said previously, we can all look forward to increasing stakes then? Jewell day stakes reduced by $50k per race, why is this with all this profit from increased turnover? There is buggerall new harness punters coming thru that the TAB needs. Current punters used to have the attraction of watching racing oncourse, but nowadays it is next to no punters there generally. Other punters that would help turnover significantly are not allowed to punt due to pathetic wagering limits? Flawed business plan and I stated it will come back to haunt the TAB in several ways for harness racing!
  10. providing the races arent abandoned if we get too rain, the Addington fields Sunday are a helluva lot more interesting than racing at Cambridge over the mile! Overhyped and over rated is Jewels Day!!!
  11. Na much better than that Ranga. Good punting fields tonight if you are selective. Be on.
  12. FFS! To restrict punters to $15 on any bet is just ludicrous Ranga! Anyway no point discussing Ranga, opportunities tonight to make plenty is happening!
  13. So why are they allowed to restrict punters to net$15? Why wouldnt they want to increase turnover Ranga?
  14. Bollacks! Being allowed to net$15 is just blatant BS Ranga! What is the point of having this option if that is all they are prepared to allow punters to win? Also only on account facility, so they have total control! They should be encouraging punters both existing and new!!!
  15. The point is why Unruly? It will win a race when off unruly and not having to give a start!
  16. How much are they letting you on for?
  17. The thing is though that the horse never looks like galloping! He manoeuvres it between galloping horses easily! John Versteeg has been training for a long time and who am I to tell him what to do with his horse? However, you watch it win as soon as it is off the unruly or someone else jumps in the cart, which both seem unlikely!
  18. A horse that has a bit of ability, that just needs a change of training scenery is Bourbon On The Rocks! It has now had 16 starts and run only one dividend bearing placing but plenty of 4ths and closeups! The question has to be asked is why the hell is this horse always giving others starts by always being on the UNRULY???? The horse never gallops at the start or during the running - just crazy! Trainer needs to get the horse off the unruly and put someone else on it, and it will win a maiden trot no problem!!!!!
  19. Galah, you are on the money! These types of fields are where the money is, kf you can het enough on! Shame Forbury is closing, and not too sure about racing out at Wingatui? This weeks 2 meetings at Addington fields are not too bad either for punting, leaves last weeks for dead!
  20. Lol would help if I knew what you were on about?
  21. Maybe they should get Nat to be there as well, considering she is taking things easy now?
  22. TROTRODS???? What on earth does Trotrods stand for????? I have several ideas!!
  23. Perish the thought of no Purdons training in NZ! Devastating Gamma, just couldnt sleep!
  24. From what I have heard nowadays just so hard to get ahead financially training horses. There are not the same members of families coming thru that want to be full-time trainers unfortunately. This is going to become a problem in the future for the industry.
