Dougie, to be fair Denis was very lucky that a couple of horses came around and gave him cover or he wouldve been parked the whole way! Denis had trouble steering the horse straight around the first bend and later on! Luck rather than great drive but he got the chocolates so,that all that matters! Four Starzz was the best gorse in the race with the worst driver and the race worked out for him! When is the JCA going to publish the result of the enquiry?

Good on Denis O’Connell for winning on Four Starzz Flash! Just shows how inept the JCA are! He is still out there driving and a great thrill for him no doubt and good luck to him getting away with it!! However there will be competent drivers that get done whereas an Advanced Amateur gets away with incompetence! What is the diff between an Advanced Amateur and a true amateur? In this case most amateurs are better!

You correct, there gas been nothing from the JCA regarding mr O’Connells shocking drive. Why is there such a thing as an Advanced Amateur anyway. You are either an Amateur or not and nothing personal but he should be limited to Amateur races!

The horse has got no show tomorrow, as the field is stronger than it has been racing and drawn wide from the second row! TAB could run an option, Averos Rustler to finish in the first 6! There has to be some big story why a grainer would still be lining up a 51 start maiden that has never run a dividend bearing placing?

As long as It is someone who has the best interests of harness racing at heart! Needs to be strong minded and a good negotiator and not some limp wrist weasel who just accepts what is offered!! They need to have business success and not come from somewhere that has laid them off, as all that shows is that they were superfluess to where they came from! If they appoint the wrong person just to fill the seat, then harness racing will never recover! People may think that the $70m odd was the saviour of racing, however things are still looking pretty sick at the TAB! Actually, has anyone at all seen or heard of our current CEO of HRNZ? What on earth is he being paid for?? Great appointment not!,

Forbury, time you stopped calling Tim Williams butcher boy, He is clearly now an extremely skilled reinsman who has a better UDR than BLair Orange this season. Yes in his earlier days he was a bit rough at times, but you watch his drives over the past 6 months and he is as good as any driver in NZ! He can drive from in front or from the back and horses are just running for him, like they did for Dexter Dunn!

Booby, we can just sit back and watch the train wreck that Labour is! Personally speaking with having Labour in power has made us seven figures over the Past 3 years, so I suppose I should be more than happy?

Auckland has the most problems, full stop! They have this view that it is the only place in NZ that matters but at the end of the day, it is a lousy place to live. Lol

Forbury, who are your top drivers then? Is one Denis, from Forbury way?

Has anyone seen the result kf the delayed enquiry into Denis O’Connells driving, or did it never exist?

You what? The Brodster has an amazing memory and that is one reason the Bookies hate him! What makes you think that brodie has a bad memory young fellah? How did you go at housie today?

JAKH, Winnie gone at last, that will make your week? More to the point, why have you commented as you have on this topic????? No I didnt go in the Methven punting comp, got nothing to do,with courage at all! Get a backbone? Lol

Ranga, probably likes chains? If we get locked down again I would say there are going to be protesters. This socalled prime minister, is voted to run the country, but nkt my life! It aint happening again without consequences. I aint following her as I did not vote for the dictator!!!

Correct Ranga, I associate with intelligent successful people, that do not rely on being looked after by the state, If this is what NEw Zealanders want, then we are in big big trouble.

Yeah the generosity of employees is unlimited according to our esteemed leader! Who would want to be an employer with this lot, Chief? Increased minimum hourly rates will only increase prices, and everyone will want an increase! Seriously interesting times, when we need a government with business expertise, we have got a government that has not got anyone with any business success! It will be just fine because we can all be kind to each other!

Tim williams has been vilified by many over the years for some of his drives! However, would I be correct in saying that he would be currently the best driver in the country? This season he has been on fire and has a far better UDR than Blair Orange who has been our best driver since Dexter went to the States. This season Tim has won 24 races from only 119 drives and UDR is just over .3!!! Experience has now matured this bloke and he just does not seem to drive poorly now and seems to put his horses in the race nowadays! Yes he drives good horses but he also wins with other horses not so good,

Lol.Jacinda just wants to be in the limelight, and control those that want to be controlled! At least there are some in Ozzie that have their eyes open and state just how non performing she has been! Reality is that there are going to be that many dissappointed people who voted for her, and to be fair they deserve that, if they could not see what an incompetent lot they were voting in! Seriously, what are these JOBS JOBS JOBS that she says they are creating? Watch around Xmas how many people are going to get the Dont Come Monday! Many of these people will never get a job again due to the future economic climate and the competition for any vacancies. You only need to see what Pak n Save is doing by now wanting shoppers to scan and bag their own groceries! Most businesses will be looking at cutting costs and the first to go will be their staff as that is the biggest cost! With Labour in power, the Unions know how weak Labour is and already the nurses are crying out for more money, followed by many others lol. This lot will be toast, Brodie is on the money! JOBS JOBS JOBS lol

The interesting thing is that everyone I have spoken to since Saturday have said how poorly Ardern performed over the past 3 years and how they reckon she wont be any better the next 3 years. Got me beat how she got 50 % but anyway it is what it is! Nothing surer, some will do very well financially with Labour in power and the lower socio wont, and yet they still vote for Labour lol???

Why is it on at a stupid time? Watched the first one and it was not really worth watching, has it improved? Not sure why they continued with the same format as it was not a successful one! Needs variety rather than the same old Same old blah blah! NZ Cup odds etc. who really gives a rats if Self Assured is paying 2.20 or 2.40 8 weeks out from the nz CUP??????

Mike Hosking asked kelvin what he was going to do to get NZ tourism going? Mr Davis replied that he was going to advertise places like Queenstown to the NZ public. Mike Hosking said surely NZ public know about Queenstown and Kelvin says not everyone lol!!! Mr Davis when minister of looking after the prisons, stated that he was looking at reducing the Maori prison population down from over 50% to 20% or thereabouts from memory! Couldnt state how he was going to do this but that was his goal! Maybe he was telling the judges Not to send them to prison for their crimes but maybe nave restorative justice a d jjst ket them walk the streets! That will work, what a fab idea! Seriously, the NZ public decided this with their voting! Yay, watch this space for carnage!

Pretty relaxed I would say! How is Kelvin Davis going? Geez he has done a great job as Minister of Tourism! I wonder if we are going to see much of him or is he going to be told not to say anything?

Quite the opposite Ranga! National would be more than happy to be in opposition for the next 3 years, as it is going to be an absolute shocker for whoever was in power! Yes I voted for National as there is no way I could vote for a party that is run by A dictator, that has only got eyes for control of the masses! If you voted for Labour, i think you are seriously going to be disappointed, however let us just watch what unfolds!

Probably not! TAB hates harness racing and they treat it nothing like the gallops! Where are the harness head to heads for harness, whereas the NZ TAB runs head to heads for NZ gallops as well as Australian racing! The NZ TAB dont give a rats about harness racing and that clearly shows by the way they treat it plus many of its punters!!!!

Davis, have no problem with any of them being a starter, if they are good at it! However, everyone knows that the current one is not up to scratch and for some unknown reason, they dont seem to want to replace him!! Hopefully the new CEO will know what is going on! The fact that he is also a Stipe is also ridiculous! Reality is that there are many people in positions of power that do a crap job, just like we are going to see over the next 3 years! Dont blame “The Brodster” for the BS on Saturday night!

Pass! Just made a comment on Long Owners post that people think that the Police can do no wrong, Chief!
