Brodie

Just looking through the fields that came out today! The sixth race at Cambridge on Thursday night has the abovenamed race named after females that clearly have big arses!!!! In this day and age, you can not be rascist, comment on peoples looks or favour people due to many many reasons! On this basis, wondering how Cambridge allowed to name a race after females that have got big fat bottoms or arses? There is a lot of females that complain that body image is a major problem with many females and yet here we have it being put out there, that there are all these Fat Arse Females out there walking!!! If this is ok to do, would it be appropriate for a racing club to call a race after well endowed males? I am sure this would have many people complaining, so are there double standards being applied here? Tongue in cheek a bit, but the politically correct moaners may well have a case wouldnt they???

Says it all really! There just does not seem to be any real pattern to the way the stands are in Canterbury!!!! It is like a bag of locorice allsorts, you just dont know what you are going to be getting! Very rarely do you get a fair start for all horses! Many are shockers, horses wide out getting several lengths advantage as they are running up when he lets them go. Many are left lengths behind and you can blame the drivers if you want, however the punter expects a far better deal than this!!!! Seriously, if this is the best harness can do, then we should do away with standing starts totally, or replace the current starter with someone that can do the job properly.

Yeah it did go much better. Thought on the bend that maybe Brodie may not be on the money, but of course he is still on the money. The horse has never run a dividend bearing placing And probably never will, despite the improvement. Still question why you would be paying the training bill?

Not at all, we had John Allen stuff racing on over $700k! We have still got plenty on the payroll getting too much! Hope they get the picture that they dont need the divs showing to block the horses on the screen!!!!!!

Watched all of the races today from Addington, which on the whole was good! HOWEVER, Trackside why on earth you now have the horses names and dividends on the right bottom corner when the horses are coming down the straight is just blatantly STUPID!! This addition actually covers up the horses racing and so you can not see them!!! Trackside We appreciate that you are trying to cut costs in promotion etc.but you could at least show us all of the race without the need to show these details at the expense watching a close finish!!!

Seriously, the stands are shocking. How hard is it to let them go when they are standing near the tape??? They ate all over the place, some standing, some moving up and some standing metres back??. You wouldve thought the starter was still learning!

All of the stands are just terrible. Used to have to be up on the tape, now as long as you are within 10 metres they are let go!!!!!!!

Wont mention names, but to be fair most of the current government are just hopeless. There is total racism in NZ and it isnt coming from the whiteman!

Ranga, Of course I have an interest to declare, Have not looked at what the current % odds are when they open up or close, but what I do know, is that they lengthen the fixed odds out far too close to race closing. A horse can be $3 for a place from opening till 5 minutes before race closing and then lengthen out to say $3.70 as for Justans Sister yesterday. I can not see the point of having a horse at a set amount without much money going on it and then lengthen with buggerall time to get on. Often there are 5 or 6 less than $2 for a place and they dont lengthen out until too lste. Start the odds at close to what you are looking to close and get the money on!!!!! Start at say 130 or so and attract the money. If there are plenty going on then adjust accordingly. With an hour or so Bring into 125% which is giving them 25% profit. They will lose some but will win a lot more overall! Bookies have got no guts and that is why they are putting the punters off. We are hearing about $50 win bets as being noteworthy bets????

Mark, are you able to say why you think that the NZ TAB has shat on you with more intensity over the past few months, more-so than before?

Was a good chance from 1, as it had run good races against better fields than tonight. Was $3 place fixed most of the day and went out to $3.60. Bookies to get more money invested need to start odds where they finish, percentage wise, and adjust the odds according to betting patterns. Yeah some will come on and say that this is not the way Bookies operate worldwide. Appreciate that, but if odds open short then not many take them! Start them fairer and more will offload, adjust as weight of money goes on! More profit the bigger the pool of wagering.

JAKH, yeah have trouble with all the names too, and Ranga got me beat as well. I cant be bothered going out either tonight, when they dont exactly want punters on course, and restrictions. Hope they have a good night as they certainly need it. Dont like much tonight really and wont be having a go, on a slightly damp track. Best value would probably be Justins Sister from 1, forva place but may run 4th if it gets 3 back the fence as there are a few that like to lead.

Thru to the keeper that one! Who is my namesake?

Globe, is that meant to be funny? Probably not your best work , and I wont let you lower myself, to your gutter level!!

Ranga, despite the fact that you should always start a sentence with a capital letter, and a full stop at the end, I will overlook that fact! You can recall, or you seem to recall?

Ranga, what you on about? Firstly there was nothing wrong with that question! Secondly, you would be asking the wrong person!

Yeah I did see that!

Brodie boring? Never!! I saw something about him getting another CEO role somewhere, didnt register where. Then saw it on NBR headline yesterday. Yeah, hidden away worried about the killer virus that has killed no one that wasnt vulnerable or geriatric in NZ!

Ranga, to be fair, I unlike yourself, don’t tend to follow the business history of CEO’s in NZ especially the ones that have totally stuffed racing in NZ! I have other things that I follow and do, and I do not nowadays subscribe To The National Business Review, as financially I don’t have a need to! Where do you see that Mr Allen had become the CEO of WellingtonNZ"

Mehe, it is only the bloody flu in NZ. Did you not read the article a couple of days ago that said that the flu kills 400-500 people every year in nZ and do we go into lockdown for months for that? Point is that our totally incompetent government once again can not do anything right!! How hard was it to do Mehe, when Ardern’s team of 5 million had to!! Ardern, Clark or Bloomfield should go

The NBR, has an article today saying that the new CEO John Allen has a new CEO role- WellingtonNZ!!!! WTF? How on earth do these people continue to get executive positions over and over again when they are absolutely useless? Why on earth would anyone put this bloke in another CEO position with his very good track Record of stuffing everywhere he has been. Clearly WellingtonNZ havent done their due dillogence!!!!

Totally incompetence from the government to not have this sorted. It is BS that these two ladies Didnt stop somewhere for petrol and do we reslly beleive that they did there toilet stops on the side of the road?????

I would be putting it all on the current government. Not one in the government have any business success, their incompetence has no bounds!!!

I am sure there are Ranga, with some of his views!

There is always a possibility Ranga, but has not happened so far!
