Fields aren’t too bad tonight! Couple of overs!

Yes the racing was more varied and had big following in the 70’s to 90’s! Watching the tighter class racing much better than today as there was bot the domination by the same stables there is today! There were far more trainers with horses involved and ownership was far more spread than it is today! Why were there more owners than there is today having horses race? Simple, training costs were so much more reasonable and stake money was so much better as a comparison! Nowadays you will struggle to cover anywhere near your costs from racing a horse in general! How times have changed!

Tiz Magic!

Lol. The reality of it is that Animal Rights had no issue with the harness whip! HRNZ and Edward Rennell were the ones who pointed it out to them when their was absolutely nothing wrong with the original rule. If you had a problem with it then why were you still an enthusiast if you thought horses were being mistreated. The stupid Swarbrick and followers have a screw loose if they believe greyhound racing is mistreatment of them! Stupid schoolkid now wants to ban advertising of alcohol with sporting events and yet she thinks Cannabis should be enjoyed by all! Go figure, she needs to get a life instead of meddling in other people’s lives!! Dickhead lefties and Greenies need to wake up to themselves!

Galah, no we were not playing The man, being Peter Lamb! He was hopeless as a starter unfortunately and that is not being personal! He shouldve stood down years earlier himself, as he must know he is well past his best days as a starter!

Personally love the looser racing as a spectacle! Yes I know some will say that is crazy, but alot of the Premier racing is a turnoff! I do not watch as much live Racing nowadays and I know many others do not bother either! The fact that I can not get enough on to make it worthwhile is the main reason though so there is no real point watching without an investment!

Horace, what interference rules?? The Harness interference rule is another diabolical one, that needs sorting!

Nat doesnt tend to drive on the grass too much so do not think The Spitfire would go that flash for her on the all weather tracks!

Chief, just stating the facts! The horses do go a lot better when the professional stablehands are in Chch. Hopefully Cullen is paying them at least the new minimum hourly rate of $20 as they are worth it! Nothing has really changed and most know that Chief! If they wanted a break then why on earth are they still in circulation working in the cold etc.

Hopefully retired with feet up!

Reality is that it is not Cullen alone is it! Nothing has changed, Purdon/Rasmussen stablehands lol. Amazing how the horses grow an extra leg when they are around! Just saying!!

Andrew Drake to be fair has been very disappointing as a driver, even when he was in the Central Districts! Looked to have some promise early on but just has not improved for some reason? UDR does tell a storey.

Auckland racing is pretty sedate and boring. They do a lot of team driving and not a lo5 of movement in the running. Tony H and Zac Butcher get treated like gods up there and are the 2 best.

JAKH, to be fair they have made me plenty over the past few years! However, it would pale into insignificance to the amount that the country is haemorrhaging with them making ludicrous decisions! The Commies want to reduce the socalled inequality of its followers by reducing the income of many of the workers and increase the money paid out by the taxpayers to those that do not produce anything! Brilliant strategy and people are finally realising that “The Brodster” was on the money as always!

Basil would even be better than what we have as Prime Minister at the moment. None of the current lot have any business acumen at all and yet they are making these absolutely stupid decisions! They are gone next time even with Collins as National leader

No Socialist Sheep wins elections! People that voted for Labour to stop the Greens getting in, are now regretting it, as they see that this lot are the most incompetent NZ has ever had! FFS, they have the media in their pocket due to the money the NZ taxpayer have put in!!! The crap that comes out everyday from the media is pathetic and I do not live in bloody Aotearoa, it is called NEW ZEALAND and no I do not want to hear this Maori language shit! If you want to speak Maori then your choice, but do not ram it down everyones throat daily!!

The current rule was brought in because the one before was just blatantly stupid and was rushed thru by Rennell and was not passed by a consensus that it had merit!! When they finally got rid of the stupid 10 hit rule, I believed that thks was a positive but wasnt comvinced that it was the answer! The fact that matters was that SAFE or any animal rights group had not expressed concern at the current harness whip rule, despite Basil saying otherwise!!! There was nothing wrong With the original rule that drivers were punished for excess use! The fact is that HRNZ panicked when OZ banned the whip and then this never eventuated when common sense prevailed! Yes there are several plonkers that want the whip banned totally but then they are the sheep that are very easily led and WOKERS if that is such a word!

Just had a look thru the fields for Thursday night Alexandra Park. Very good stakes for the fields carded ! If this is the best that Auckland TC can get then they need major help! Most of the fields are just not betting propositions! The trotting race for a good stake has 5 or 6 in it and Time Up The Hill only needs to trot the whole way you would think?

Lol Yes Whiplash personally due to their meddling we are a helluva lot better off. Wont explain why, however the question I asked was who thought they were better off under this Socialist Government! The ones who voted for Labour thinking that they would be better off financially will not be! Obviously I didnt vote for the Socialists as I want a government to have business and economic sense rather than trying to crucify businesses and people that want to better themselves! This lot are just so out of their depth. Everything they touch is a fail!

How on earth is this a contradiction? Mitch will not be granted a trainers license again!!!!!!! He may well be granted the ability to train alongside his father as long as he is not in charge!

Mitchell wont be getting his license back at all! There is no way in hell that they HRNZ would ever consider him worthy of holding a trainers license again! Not saying that he wont be allowed to train alongside another trainer in a few years.

Gammalite, you do not need to worry about “The Brodster”. More mates than enemies I hope! Ranga is a pedantic, nit picking sod, for some reason gets a kick out of calling me a liar! The fact that he has a personality disorder, I can not hold anything against him! I am not a liar so I have to let him keep up his sad and lonely life and attempts to undermine, the voice of reason!

Ranga, you know damn well I was talking about the racism charge as I stated!

So what was it that Bronson said or did that was worth media crucification? The BS that is going on nowadays is puke material Lets face it Ranga, there would not be a single adult in NZ that didnt have prejudiced opinion, one way or another! You are so easy to read Ranga, I knew you would come on and state that Brodie was telling lies!! It is your signature I am aware, but Bronson was no more racist than what we are getting back!!!!! Total BLM BS!!

The reason Matt Anderson was in trouble was pure and simple being involved with drugs unfortunately. Unless you were there you can not comment as to what actually happened with the domestic! Obviously there was shite that went down, clearly from being under the influence of drugs, and I understand it wasnt just Matt Anderson! Everyone will act differently under the influence whether it be drugs or alcohol! Matt Anderson I believe had been understand constant pressure from being under investigation from the INCA BS, as many of the charged harness participants have been! I reiterate, I do not condone criminal activity whether it be domestic violence or otherwise. What I would say to those that want to condemn Matt Anderson is put yourself in his shoes, living with the publicity he had endured for such a long time, it would take its toll without doubt! I appreciate many of you will be perfect and totally law abiding, however I personally feel for the young man. having his face published so many times in the paper for hardly being Mr Asia. FFS, you only have to go back a few years where the media crucified young Bronson Munro, for absolutely nothing!!!
