  1. I am talking about what it should have been Mikie! It was a start and therefore there should not have been any late scratchings! Everyone would have backed something that has been checcked at the start and never got their money back!!! It is another mistake by officialdom that has been made unless this is new policy?
  2. When is a start not a start! Once again the tape had been released and the race is therefkre started! Fact is that both those horses should not have been scratched as the start had been called. Yes not great if you have backed either horse but this has not been the norm previously, so why the change???.
  3. Tim Williams is currently driving as well as any lther driver in the country including our reigning champion Blair!
  4. Hopefully the new CEO is going to be based fulltime in ChCh! If he is allowed to remain in Wellington it willl just be an absolute waste of time And money!! Let us all hope that this works as otherwise harness is going to battle! The thing that has be baffled is that surely harness racing needs a CEO that is wanting harness to flourish and for this we need punters offloading! Mystifying is that the TAB suits do not like harness punters and so it seems very hard to understand how they have appointed a flrmer exec from the TAB? Hopefully it is a great decision?
  5. Shouldnt have to be laughing! Punters offload their money if they can get on, and we get substandard performances from the laid employees! Current starter is protected for some reason? Starts at Kaikoura are going to be a problem,
  6. Chief is correct! Bearing in mind free bets etc.will have a bearing in turnover! Imagine how much more the turnover would be if the NZ TAB actually allowed punters to offload, rather than restricting them to bugger all? When I look at the tote dividends, a lot of the time I just wonder why punters still bother with the tote? The TAB doesnt care at all about our local product, as long as they hold their jobs!
  7. Anyone over these Mile races at Methven yet? Some absolute dogs running places lol!
  8. Seriously, you would think they would be training up someone that is much younger than Peter Lamb for when he falls off his ladder! The fact that they arent seems to show that HRNZ are happy to have standing starts that are just sub standard! You would think that Mr Lamb would be able to see that the punters were not happy with him and stand himself down? Nah, far better off continuing as I do not have to answer to anyone!
  9. A start nowadays in Canterbury Is just when every horse is at the start! It doesnt matter whether the horses are in a line, standing back, standing side on, playing up etc. as long as they are so ewhere near the tapes, they will be let go RIIIIIIIGT! HRNZ are obviously happy with the starter so they wont do anything about it! It is good that clubs try things different but can not see the point in racing from a stand over 1700metres as it is just so hard if you do not begin well!
  10. Geez Mikie, you are antagonistic! The Chief provides a site for anyone to post without too much censorship! Now you are just being antagonistic for the sheer hell of it! Surely you have learnt to do things in your time off!
  11. Seriously that the best you have got Mikie? Have a look at the urban dictionary for SNYDE! It is you Mikie that twisted the post not I!!!!! Illiterate my arse, no time for sitting at machines! Don’t bother replying, you must have better things to do?
  12. Interesting meeting timewise and distance of races? 1700metre stands on the grass? Miss away and you got no chance!
  13. Both apparently.
  14. Seriously Mikie, are these comments really worth making? So hurtful and at least I keep out of trouble! If you need to make these snyde comments you Would be better doing it with your mates! Pull your head in it is not very becoming of you!
  15. Chief, what is it with some people that can not understand things? Once again some just want to stir Brodie up with no other reason but trying to be a smart arse! They try to just Be antagonistic and in Mikey’s case I am not sure? I posted re the race being on trackside 2 and several said it was on TS1 as if I was having them on, and I was wrong as they saw it on TS1! I was told to go and get glasses because it was not on 2! Now we know it was on both channels for some reason, we have still got clowns saying that I was wrong for assuming that it was not on Trackside 1 for some reason? Go fathom! Point was that a minor dogs race from Cranbourne seemed more important to the NZ TAB than a biggish race in NZ!!!!
  16. FFS, you are about as intelligent Mehe, and continue your BS and I will not be biting my tongue!
  17. Mikie, I reiterate how on earth was I to know it was on both channels after coming inside and seeing it on Trackside 2. My point was that they have a big race and they immediately chop to the boxes at Cranbourne!!!!!! How ks this great for our local product? The other point is that I was being wrong about it being on TS2!
  18. Seriously Mikie I could say something but I will bite my tongue! How the eff was I to know that it was also being played on trackside 1? Some said that I needed glasses as it wasnt on Trackside 2!!
  19. Mikie, you were saying that it was on Trackside one and not on trackside 2!!! I came in from outside and saw that it was Trackside 2, and my point was that After a big race they immediately chopped over to a bloody dog race from Cranbourne in OZ!!!!! Someone stated that I needed to go and get glasses as I was seeing things!!! Clearly this is not the case, and egg on some faces! Now you are saying it was on both channels so yes your acknowledgement that brodie was correct is appreciated!
  20. Dont be a smart arse! It clearly was the same with the trotters mile Noodlum!!! Are you saying that this pacers race was Meant to be on Trackside 2 and everyone who had been watching Ashburton turned over to Trackside 2 for this race only??? As you can see Cranbourne dogs was following Ashburton race and my point was that they showed the Trotters mile and as soon as it finished they switched straight over to the boxes at Cranbourne!! my point is that we are getting a shit service for the NZ product! Anyway once again Brodie is on the money despite some saying that he has poor eyesight and making things up! Apologies accepted!
  21. And yes I have proof just in case someone wants to state that Brodie is telling porkies which he never does!
  22. For you non believers. Race 5 Tonight at Bendigo was showing in Orange which is channel 63 for NZ, unless someone can tell me otherwise? The NZ TAB webbsite says that race 5 at Bendigo was going to be shown on Trackside 1, so that is blue if I know anything!!!! What I am saying is that they showed the race on the wrong channel which is what they obviously did the other day as well!!! I will accept your apologies which is owing to The Brodster!!!!!
  23. Mikie, I know after the race they quickly shot over to the dogs from Cranbourne which was played on trackside 2 for that race. The result came up in Orange!!! If people on here just want to be antagonistic and not contribute postings apart from trying to be smart, then The Brodster just can not be bothered! I have got far better things to do than waste my time posting with small minded pedantic people! I will leave it up to the others to post as I am over and out! Enjoy the rest of this difficult year and hope everyone has a great xmas and holiday season!
  24. Bald Badger, you need to get a life if you want to be so pedantic! I know the result was up in Orange, prove me otherwise or stay in your hole!!!
  25. Then the ones that recorded it should be able to photograph the results and post them and it should be blue rather than Orange! Until I see that I know that the result was in Orange! Are races not being transferred to the lther channel than advertised??? I await!
