Sorry Eljay if it wasnt you! Lol It was a North Islander, I will have to recheck lol

Whales tips shorten as he has already backed them, as he is allowed to bet early apparently! Why take advice from people who are laid by the NZ Racing industry? More fun doing your homework and backing them yourself, as you will not make money follow the tipsters! Do you really think they are going to tip you into winners so that you can take money off their employers??

Kaleb Bublitz according to Eljay!

Are the Trackside tippers actually trying to tip out winners or are they working in the best interests of the TAB? If you followed any of them, you would not be on top! Craig Thompson is not that flash, only tips horses that any mug punter could sort! If he was any good he wouldnt need a tipping line or be paid by Trackside. you would think that the commentators would also be worth listening to, and sometimes they have done some study, but if I was them I wouldnt be giving up their job to punt anytime soon!

Anthony was always a very good driver in NZ, but I think he was bot driving as well as had been Nd wasnt driving anything of major note.. He has resurrected his career in Ozzie which is great, but I believe that most NZ trainers and drivers find it far easier to be successful in Oz!!

Blair Tony H John Dunn Tim Williams John Morrison Bubbles

Gamma, with respect, Anthony wouldnt rate in the top 6 current NZ drivers! He is driving in Oz where it is easier!

Yes spelling not Brodies fault that fingers are too big or it changes things

I am even more confused bow looking at race 5. Look I appreciate that Bubbles has not won a race in over 80 drives and is competing in the Junior Champs, and his next sin is going to be his first! However to achieve this, I do not believe that they should be giving him 2 horses to drive in the 5th race but do not think it was possible to be able to drive 2 at the same time, unless it was a chariot?

I am as confused as I could possibly be! Looking thru the fields for Sunday at Addington, for winners! However I am totally confused by race 2, being the 3rd heat of the Juniors Drivers Champs! The race is McMillan Equine FeedsNZ junior Drivers Heat 3 Mobile Pace!!! What the heck? Firstly it is a trotters race and yet they call it a PACE?? Secondly it says MBL that I have always taken as standing for a Mobile Start! However it says underneath that it is a STAND!!! What is going on here? Can it be confirmed that it is a 2600m standing start race for trotters rather than a mobile start for pacers??????

Is Jacob actually driving much at trials? Bailey is an enthusiast but not a light weight Harrison yes, but not enough coming thru!,

Yes some of them are pretty good, but there are very very few Junior drivers starting out. The South Island is going to be short of Junior Drivers as well in the coming years as fewer young ones make a career out of harness racing. The Kid Karts is fantastic but how many are actually going to work in stables and get their Junior licenses?

Dougie, also looked Pro Surfer but also didnt back it. Thought John Morrison would try for the front as not much speed inside, however it had been slow out from the gate before. There is daylight between our better Juniors and the other ones unfortunately. Sheree Tomlinson and John Morrison out of their Junior ranks shortly and our ranks are going to be very thin as no one coming thru!

Gee that is quite severe for a young driver. The horse should have been disqualified. HRNZ need to get off their arses and change the rule but they dont want to have enquiries as it is too hard for them! Easier to have horses causing interference and turning a blind eye to it!

Take After Me has paid his way, Shay Scott not so much!

Very interesting to see the now 11 year old Shay Scott due to line up for the first time in over 3 years! Being trained by Maria Perriton, who has a small team in Auckland at the moment, not sure whether she has moved up there permanently, but someone will know? You would wonder why you would bother bringing it back as an 11 year old, but it must be showing something in work! What I do know is that it was an absolute shocker for trotting all the way in its races for several seasons and I think took heaps of starts to win but did have speed but was really field shy and always gave the field big starts! Think Bevan Heron trained it for many years!

Always on the money, Newmarket lol Punters betting on horses with odds like that and due to the conditions are always going to end up as punters the NZ TAB love.

JAKH, nice to know you are still SAFE! We have been breeding from U.S. speed stallions for decades, if you had not realised. As for politics, I didnt realise that I made political speechs! I just state the facts!

Olivia Thornley clearly chopped Ben Hope’s horse before she was clear of it! She will get a suspension you would think or there is no integrity whatsoever, and you might as well disband the RIU!!!!! Yes the Hope horse was pulling bad and I think Ben in hindsight shouldve pressed on. Newmarket is correct, the AllStar horse should be disqualified but the blatantly stupid Harness Rule does not allow it! HRNZ change the rule as it is ridiculous!!!!!!

The second heat was an appalling display by the young drivers, if that is the best they can offer, we are in trouble in the Junior ranks! No one moved and was a terrible example on display for young drivers wanting to win the championship! What on earth were they scared of by just sitting at the back and giving their horses no chance???? The South Island drivers are light years ahead on ability than the North Island! come on Juniors that was Very poor and hopefully they drive far better on Sunday!!!!!!!

Eljay, with respect he isnt at the moment! With the poor fields up at Cambridge and Auckland you would think you would be able to win a race up there in 80 starts!!! You clearly know Bubbles, and your right to defend anyone you want, and I respect that! Hopefully he wins his first race shortly, merely pointing out that it seemed a bit of an anomaly that one of the Norths best has never won a race in 80 drives! Go Bubbles!!

Lol, FFS what Dickhead at the TAB would put the option under Premierships??????? Who would be looking under it there???? Surely it should be under the DRIVERS CHALLENGE?????? Surely, it is a SPECIAL, it is not a PREMIERSHIP!!!! Seriously stupid having it there where it can not be seen on the first screen!!! Defies logic!

Socrates is having its first start tonight at Addington in Race 5! First start, standing start and drawn 1! Bookies open at $2.30 and now shortened into $1.80 meaning there has been some money on at $2.30 and less! It can win no doubt and the money on says that it probably will, but drawing the inside from a stand and first up is a helluva risk at those prohibitive odds, I would think? It won its last trial very nicely leading up with the race winners off 20m over 2600 metres, but you wouldnt say that it was anything outstanding prior to that, to be so short! Wish those that took it at those odds all the best as you may need it, if missing away slightly!!

The thing with this Juniors Drivers champs is that an underdog has in Recent years won it! Gamma, what I would say is that the individual winner will come from the South Island! The stupid thing about some of the Drivers Challenges is that some of the fixed Odds options are just not worth betting into, and you would be a mug punter if you did! Seriously, what is the chance of any half sensible punter betting into a driver winning 4 plus races as Addington in a night???????? Why the Bookies offer this option defies logic there are far better options that would attract money than that! There are several things that could be introduced and offered to get turnover up and interest in their product! It is if they do not give a stuff but just going through the motions!

With the NZ Juniors champs starting tonight at Addington, you would think the TAB would be running a book on it wouldn’t you? Individuals and North vs.South! Let us on for what the punter wants for a change? How about starting them both at $1.85?
