Brodie

What do you mean by that? No one has been found guilty of anything as far as I am aware? Being watered down all the time Jonny!

Another one that makes these claims and then can not back it up! Tonka, when have I been wrong, I ask again ??

No they would have to refund your money on fixed odds!

Tonka, I am always on the money!!! When have I ever not been?

Happy, even if someone did back it at $201 fixed, the TAB has the right to cancel the bet, as it is in their rules, if they think they have made an error!!!!! I have taken bets where the odds have been appealing, and then they just cancel the bet!!!! The TAB can cancel the fixed odds bet even though they have accepted it, but the punter can not!! Pretty much is that they totally call the shots!!!

Is Dexter not required for Operation Inca hearings, or is it just a load Of bollocks?

Reality is that most of the connections with the AllStars stables don’t give a rats about anyone else in the industry apart from themselves! The industry is in serious trouble in the years ahead of attracting new participants into the game, due to the dominance of the one stable! Yes the topic is being brought up continuously, but the fact is that it is one of the biggest negative influences we currently have in regards to growing the industry! Owners and trainers are totally getting the stitch and will fall by the wayside, and with no new owners coming thru, harness racing is stuffed!

Dead right, in many of the races I would take the AllStars horses out of the odds!!! It is what the TAB needs to do to get punters to take up the action! Seriously, all that the short odds that are put up does, is to put most punters off! The TAB needs to encourage wagering to people rather than put them off by pathetic odds. Why bother when you are buying money, waste of effort unless you are a compulsive gambler!!

Odds would be better

Yep, The Brodster is a person of principles!

Seriously, it is a bit rich when Mr Purdon complains about the current system, and says that it is detrimental to 2 and 3 year olds! Mr Purdon and the AllStars blatantly take the majority of the stakes available for 2 and 3 year olds in NZ, and he thinks it is unfair????? He is kidding isn’t he?

Personally would not take it on principle!!

I am sure there were whips there somewhere! Have seen this dressing up thing before in Melbourne last year! Some of them very weird and amazing why so many adults and students want to dress up as these cartoon type characters as well as movie people. Ghost Busters, Wonder Woman , and a huge no.of others! Not too sure whether it is held in NZ, maybe we are far more mature?

Brodie is always around! Yeah did have a 3 week spell in Oz which was good, and there was a Super Hero weekend one week we were over there. Adults dressing up in all sorts of costumes reliving their childhoods again! No I was only an onlooker, but yeah I do consider myself a bit of a super hero Ranga! Didn’t even have a punt over there, did not find the need to really!

Hopefully they won’t be moaning about having to be up at 1 o’clock in the morning, poor things! Its just great watching mile racing and AllStars filling the first 2 placings. Gooooo yeeee haaaaaaa go the mighty AllStars.

Probably all need their bloods replaced as they do with their horses! It works for the horses so worth a go? I feel for the stable having to be up so early and then plundering all the stake money in the big races! Perhaps they need to up their training fees so high that it is not worth having a horse in the stable?

Gillespie!

I note that Forbury and Cambridge are both racing on Thursday night! Great to see Forbury with larger fields for a change! You would wonder if there is going to be enough wagered on both meetings to enable them to make a profit as the betting will be split between the two! At least the fields are certainly more puntable at Forbury than Addington on Saturday!

Not keen on Pokies, as I consider that gambling and you need luck, however harness punting I consider more an investment, providing you do your homework!

I have a major gambling problem, and It doesn’t get any better!!! the TAB restricts the amount I can invest!! Major gambling problem alright!!

Harness Racing is stuffed in the North Island. So they are only going to be racing on 3 tracks, Palmy, Cambridge and Alexandra Park! They need looser class horses racing and winning to put them up over the 55 grade. Anyway the racing in the North Island is not that flash so probably not worth worrying about!

Na, got far too much hair, and personality!!

Maybe I am not on the money? Cran has never been named and I hadn’t heard that he has been charged for anything! What has he been charged for? Although I am in Oz and spoke to someone today who told me a thing or two! The Thing is, Brodie is a role model for being law abiding, so,that’s is probably why I haven’t been aware of this!

Wasn’t aware Cran had been named as having been charged in the Operation Inca sting!

Cran isn’t involved with Operation Inca? There are a lot of trainers who UDRs aren’t as high as they used to be either! Dont think Cran is training as many as he used to and probably sells the ones that can run a bit, as there is no money in racingbin the group races nowadays, for obvious reasons!!
