Hayden Cullen must have the confidence in the stablehands, Mark Purdon and Nat Rasmussen, that they can look after the horses at Cambridge well enough!

Big boots Hayden Cullen is going to have to fill, those of Nat and Mark. He is going to have to up the wages to Tim and co. As he just will not be able to cope with the pressure. His current big spending owners are going to want the continuation of big results! While Mark and Nat are around the results you would think would be the same, providing the special training techniques are employed!

Purdon/Rasmussen are still training, just wanted their names off the horses! . Why are they still up there driving when they wanted a break? Pretty bit fishy isnt it??

MarkyMark, when the stupid policy re the 10 hits came in, they interviewed someone from SAFE that said that anything to protect animal welfare was good!!! That same person said that they had no issues with the harness whip as it was not on their agenda!!!!!! They had other agendas they were working on like, chickens and pigs etc! But yes, Rennell panicked and thought they would bring in this blatantly dumb rule without any consensus from the people that it affected!!!!! Why bring anything to SAFE’s attention as if it was a major issue?? I can tell you now, NZ has a helluva lot bigger issues than pandering to SAFE or like!

We are all still waiting for Basil to produce something from SAFE saying that they were concerned with the harness whip use on horses!! Basil wont produce it because there isnt anything Basil, is there?? Yes, if the harness whip is banned then most of the serious punters will give it away big time! As I keep saying, SAFE is an organisation that should be mlre concerned with their fellow human beings rather than animals! Greyhounds for a start wont get to live at all, as they wont be bred if there was no racing for them! Basil are you a SAFE supporter??

Basil, maybe the stewards will grow a pair and admit that there was nothing wrong with the original rule? Where is your paraphernalia that says that SAFE were concerned about the harness whip use? Still waiting!

Basil is a believer that there doesnt need to be a whip! He is one of the very few in harness racing that doesnt think there should be whips! Oz hasnt banished wips quite the opposite, they are even more aggressive and vigorous than NZ! Basil clearly doesnt eat meat as he feels for all animals!

Gammalite, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the rule of Stipes looking into it if they thought that a driver was too vigorous with the whip! Then Rennell expressed his own opinion that he didnt like the whip and brought in without thought, the stupid 10 hit whip rule, which was a shocking rule. Then they realised that they had been dumb in rushing that in, and changed it to what it currently is, which is better but still stupid! HRNZ panicked when there was no need to as SAFE have no agenda on harness whip use, they are more worried about Greyhounds, pigs, chickens, rodeos etc. They would be far better off put their energies into human issues like babies being mistreated by their parents who should have a license to have kids!!!!!

Have a look at them Ranga! Many could do with a jolly good shower and haircut and a pair of shoes rather than sandels and socks!

Basil, Happy New Year to you and your Greeny mates. The fact that there have been so many infringements is clearly showing that the rules being brought in are not being accepted by our best horse people. Can you kindly show us what you have from SAFE that shows that they have an issue with the harness whip!!!! Why should harness have to answer to a group called SAFE who are generally a bunch of under achievers who are on welfare in NZ?

No comment!

Can not see them training in partnership in Canterbury again! More money for them racing in Oz, and Nat prob wants to be back in Oz, safer!

You can take Ashley Locaz off that list, as according to Nathan Purdon he is off to Victoria. Wouldnt think that 50% of that list will be there in the next 12 months! Sold, different stable, broken down or needing some supplements!

L for Loser Party or Lefty?

Brodster, has no problem with the original rule and SAFE has no problem with it either. The Dickheads that are protesting about a few greyhounds being put down and Rodeo’s need to pull their heads in! They would be better spending their time protesting about human issues!!

Possibly with the TAB logo and the letters RP underneath? Restricted Punter!

White with a wheel in the middle, and blood spinning around it?

Interesting that it is to remain the Purdon colours? Certainly alot to live up to now!

AllStars stable disbanded and now under Hayden Cullen’s control! Does anyone know if it is going to have any name other than Hayden and his wifes name? He must have a new set of colours registered? What are they like? When will his first horses under his name step out? Interesting times ahead!

Scratched ! Probably sold overseas?

Makes Spitfire look good!

The thing is kelvin is totally useless and he had been the Deputy leader ofLabour, so it just shows how poor the party really is, and yet 50% of people voted for them, Go figure? Twyford on the other hand, should perhaps have been missing in action! Megan Woods, waiting with baited breath for her announcements re housing in the next week or two! To be fair we have been waiting for quite awhile already for something of substance! She is probably already working on the enquiry into food prices, probably be more her go! Is this another year of delivery of this very competent government? Yeah, Nah

Tell the NZ TAB that punters can not win all the time and drop all restrictions, so that they can take plenty off Brodie!

Shit, well done Ranga, how did you know about punter restrictions?

Where nave I twisted anything to suit anyone? You told us that a monthly training bill for a horse in work at the AllStars was $3200 from what you had seen! I doubted it very much and said so! Now you are saying that the daily training rate was $105 per day, probably plus GST ! So for a full month the basic cost is over $3700 then all the other costs which will be substantial! The real cost with vets, supplements, and shoeing is probsbly going to be a minimum of $4500 on a low month without any transport! Would you now agree JJ??
