No they wouldn’t, claustrophobic

Paleface Adios was certainly a champion and probably a better horse! However Destreos is still racing at a far older age and has had nearly double the number of starts that Paleface had!!

Yes Destreos does deserve a decent paddock, but while he is still winning, he must still be enjoying it! He is an exceptional athlete and there will never be another horse ever win as many races again and race over so many seasons again! He won a fair percentage of his wins at Albion Park and was extremely well placed a lot of the time, often racing substandard horses on a Tuesday afternoon for not a lot of money. Interesting that he has only won $800k from over 100 wins plus places shows that he won a lot of races with pretty low stakes! Destreos, certainly one of a kind!!

Good to have enthusiasts and some horses take time as trotters, but you would have to wonder why some bother with dogs? Sunny Sunny Day, must’ve thought is was a nice Sunny Sunny Day for a wee workout!

Joe Kidd, very well written, great minds think alike! I waiting for the Darksiders to come on And have a go at us! Thing is though, I am not even going to respond to them, and hopefully they will just get bored and piss off! I do know that Trackside could be just so much better for New Zealanders than what they are currently producing! There have been galloping races today from the U.S.A. That have next to nothing in the tote pools and yet we get to see this absolute crap with leadup BS! Trackside producers, what part of no one knows anything about these horses so they can bet on them , don’t you understand????

As you know any race that has so many AllStars horses in it, is going to be controversial! The TAB needs to sort out the racing timetable and screening of races on a busy night when there are 2 Harness meetings and a dogs meeting! We were told that we were going to get a better service when we had the 2 channels but that hasn’t occurred! we need to get these starts sorted and do we really give a rats if we don’t see greyhounds walking around to their starting boxes and having a dump?? If there are 2 Harness meetings then put them on the same channel and the dogs on the other channel, as I don’t beleive that harness enthusiasts want to see the dogs races, unless they are compulsive gamblers! Get rid of the racing from U.S.A. As well as not worth the time spent on it and no one knows the damn horses anyway!! Trackside needs to concentrate on the local product!

If you look at run up to the start, you will see that Copperfield goes into a gallop! He is clearly steered to go right so that it checks horses outside of him, so that he will get a false start!! The fact is that the 2 outside of Copperfield both get checked and Vergil despite urgings was never going to be in its right spot at despatch! Yes it should’ve been a false start but the fact that it was a AllStar affair I don’t beleive that Mr Lamb really cared! You will see it all the time, when a horse Gallops in the run up, the drivers steer the horse sideways so that they check another horse, therefore getting a false start! I believe this is a major issue that one day will ave a horse injured!!

Boring as hell race as could’ve been expected! Should have been a false start but who cares as they clean up,the stake money anyway! Someone had a big punt on the favourite and got beaten! Hopefully,it was stable money!

Looking at his UDR up until 2014 he was always over .2000 and been reducing since then and now so far this year .1300 so quite a difference He does seem to drive Bugalugs on the rails all the time, and often not getting much of a go!!

Yes totally agree, Peter Ferguson doesn’t drive anywhere near as well as he used to, although that can be said for quite a few that have been driving for many years! He doesn’t drive as much as he used to, and I think he trains greyhounds now, for some reason? It was a terribly weak field tonight that Bugalugs was in, and should’ve run a place in that field on ability! Didnt back it as I thought he would be 3 or 4 back on the fence, and nowadays you don’t see too many pushing off the fence at Cambridge for some reason?

Sorry, not Catholic!

The first race and first heat of the Garrards Sires Stakes to be run at Addington on Friday night for $22k has 6 starters! It is great to see that 5 of the 6 starters are from the AllStars stable and the only other Starter is from the Robert Dunn Stable! You would wonder where the other paid up horses are, or do not many pay up for this series anymore! It looks like it could well be another 2year olds season dominated by the same AllStars Stable, as this domination is great for harness racing as can be seen by the starters in this race!

Lack of evidence? Cases against defendants are extremely weak! Legal system in NZ is pathetic, is it any wonder our courts are so chocker when it takes so long to hear cases! If there is evidence against anyone have the hearing, and get on with life! Barrister are the ones who benefit as they just keep charging! Tick, Tick Tick

Newmarket, threads are not closed down on this harness section much at all! Bit Of A Yarn leaves the other site for dead, but recently we have had the Darksiders come over and just here to stir, because they can get away with it! As I say there are a few that never start blogs but just like to have the regular posters on, which is a clear sign that they are out to sabotage this site! Ranga, JJ/ Farty, Cross Codes are all out to destroy this site! We should just ignore every one of their posts and they will piss off I am sure!

Let’s call a truce, and stop arguing amongst ourselves. We came over from the Darkside to get away from that crap. The Darksiders have come across just to stir us up and they are starting to do that! We Wont let them get to us, what we should do is just not respond to JJ/Fart Too Much, Basil, Cross Dresser and the normal antagonists! Let them try and disrupt us, but if we don’t respond then they may just piss off! The Darkside still mention the intelligent posters on here, so that is clearly a sign that they are missing our intelligent postings! Lets just give it a go!

To be fair most of us just want to post and make comments! Personally I can not be bothered arguing with the same old dickheads, that also did the same on the Darkside! They are only out to have Brodie on, whether he has a good point or not!! Brodie is always on the money whether you agree with me or not! There are several from the other dilapidated site, that have changed their names and are only here to stir! I am not going to name them, but they know who they are and if you are going to continue to be a pain in the arse, then just piss off back to where you came from!

Basil always shoots off and then hides when he is wrong! That is just about every time he comments

Happy, no there are some lovely Muslim people,in the world Obviously! Unfortunately the Koran does promote so much hatred for people,that are not Muslim and that is what the problem is! While we allow this integration to continue there are going to be massive problems!

Happy, I just wish that there weren’t these terror attacks as just blatantly wrong! Reality is that they are happening throughout the world all the time, and due to the multi racial amalgamation in these countries. Different cultures and ideologies mixed together is just not working nowadays unfortunately! It is indeed troubled times, like it not it is reality!

There will be reprisals somewhere, it is what happens, and this is why the multiculturalism that is going on is causing problems! You can keep your heads in the sand, but what this Australian has done will have consequences unfortunately. ISIS have claimed responsibilty for a bombing in a Catholic Church in the Philllipines that killed 20 people in January! These people were innocent as well but this religious war is a shocker, and that is why immigration needs to be looked at! Brodie is stating fact, I am kept uptodate with everything from my kids who are fully educated on what is happening around the world!

They wouldn’t bother because there would be so many horses that do not run without a persuader! I know from harness racing that the whip encouragement makes a helluva difference. Some horses will just not bother trying and therefore the punters that offload bigtime will get the stitch and won’t bother. Gallopers are probably the same although some do just respond better hands and heels! Will this no whip rule have any stipulations in regards to hands and heels?

The smaller punters probably would, but the punters that invested the larger amounts wouldn’t bother! With turnovers reduced the profit would be reduced, stakes will reduce and owners wouldn’t bother, therefore racing will be a dead duck! It is struggling already and this would kill it! The larger punters will bet on sports, which is what the TAB wants anyway!

If whips are banned in NZ then horse racing in NZ is finished, end of story! Punters just won’t bother!

It’s ok Joe, I have got a thick skin! Cross Code clearly has an aggressive anger problem that he has to get help for, or he will end up in trouble! Not sure what his problem was? Never said anyone deserves being killed irrespective of where they came from, race, colour or whatever! Most of us know that there are mega problems worldwide nowadays due to people from different race and creed being amalgamated into different cultures! Europe has major problems and is growing by the day, that is reality! My other comment was aimed at governments around the world contributing to the problems thru immigration policies and weakness! The current government wants to bring in the refugees that are currently in Nauru, whereas the Australian government doesnt! Why are we hellbent on wanting them whereas Oz doesn’t! Maybe Cross Codes can clearly explain to us what the positives are going to be for NZ, in bringing in people from a different culture, when NZ already has enough problems already with existing population! I await his reply without the colourful language!

Cross Codes, another with great language and a limited IQ! This is why we are having trouble in the world today, because of clowns like you clearly! Where on earth did I ever say they warranted being killed etc? The world is turning to shit as you put it, because of total dickheads like you, unable to interpret anything correctly! What have I said that has blatantly upset you Cross Codes? Please come back with something without the colourful language!
