Reality is as I have said many times, owners and trainers are over it! Owners are going to disappear and new ones not coming thru! Most people know that it is far more than so-called being more professional, end of storey! Harness is doomed, doomed I say, if this domination of major races continues!!!!

Cryptic Monday!

Sorry Ranga, I am not preoccupied with upcoming meetings and when they are! I take it as it comes nowadays, and have a very rounded happy life! Until the fields are out, I don’t know whether I am investing or not! Have been much quieter in the last year or so, as I co lid to be bothered trying to beat the TAB’s system! I will be back though, as the fields get better to invest on this time of year apart from the Jewels!

Till when? Jewels? If so your maths isn’t too flash!

Pay Me Visa was actually thrown into that race today! He was a multi race winner up against one race winners! He did go very good at Forbury as well.

Yes, you are definitely a plonker!

Flag, yeah don’t think he will win another race in Canterbury. Problem with Auckland is that they are all obi.es and Victor Tango’s biggest asset was his standing start ability to be first out! With the cost of training in Auckland, doubt whether it would be worth it financially!

What a stupid thing to say! Yes, the turnover will be increasingly dropping on Premier meetings due to the dominance and punters over trying to get a win div over $2.00! There are several reasons for reduced turnover on the tote nowadays!!

I have basically got a policy nowadays of not investing on Premier meetings fullstop. Too Much form, and most of the horses apart from the dominant stable are pretty close on ability. Give me a maiden at Forbury anyday. Great runs by the Alistair Black runners.

I can not be bothered having a go on Premier night when the iddd are so short and dominated by the same Stable. Not earth the effort, give us a maiden anyway! I am not too sure of the crowd size at Addington, but I am sure it won’t be very large, as punters are just not bothering to go out and back stinking hot favourites anymore! Unfortunately Premier Racing to most punters has lost its gloss nowadays! The Jewels will pull the people out due to it being during the day, and will be far better over the 1980m at Addington, but it will be dominated as usual!

So they aren’t going to want to be spinning the Blood for others!!! Is there any reason they need an elderly fellah doing the syringe work? Surely cheaper labour or is he working for nothing?

Good to see it has now been changed! The TAB must be reading on this site,

What current harness trainers using it????

Wondering if the Blood Spinning Company is owned by Pilcher, and he seems to be doing all of the work, why does it cost so much per time? Does anyone know what other harness trainers are having this treatment done by Mr Pilcher?

Interesting that the TAB has Oamaru on Sunday racing on the grass track!!! HRNZ has it Racing on the 1200m allweather track. You would wonder how they could get that wrong, wouldn’t you?

25 Trainers are using the Blood spinning? How many of these are harness trainers and how many are galloping trainers? I am unaware of any other harness trainers that are using it, so it must be mostly galloping trainers?

Yes it was very one sided! Do we all think that this has now put to bed that everything is above board, and that one stable can dominate harness racing in NZ by being more professional and working harder?

Yes the practice is currently legal in NZ at the moment. It was good to see The BoxSeat do the article on the Blood Spinning or whatever you want to call it! It obviously has therapeutic benefits that have clearly been proven or trainers would not be bothered doing it! Does it give certain stables that use it, an advantage over stables that don’t? Of course it does! Is this advantage plus other advantages killing harness racing in NZ??? Yes it is, and if you don’t think that this domination of all the feature races in NZ is seriously hampering the industry then you are seriously deluded! Yes it would’ve been great to have the other side of the storey put forward, however I doubt anyone would’ve come forward, as they know that it would’ve painted them in a bad light! Reality is that most owners and trainers are hating what is going on and has been for many years!!!

Farty will be back as someone else! They need him to keep the site going!

Brodie still in his prime and always will be!,

The point is that the correct trainer should be in the Facebook, not someone who hasn’t been training the horse for weeks. Is there any reason that Margo Nyhan and Peter Davis aren’t registered as a training partnership, as we all know that Peter would being doing at least as much as Margo does?

As I have said previously I have a problem with horses being under Trainers names if they are not based at the named trainers property. If they are not calling the shots and putting the cart on and overseeing the training operation where the horse is based, how on earth are they the trainer? I appreciate that under horse movements it is mentioned, but this is often weeks after the horse is actually stabled at the new trainers property! Yes I appreciate that Margo and Peter had a bad accident unfortunately, but the fact that they are not the trainers at the moment should be more clearly pointed out, to the fact that the correct trainers should be named as such!

Heaps of horses improve when they change stables and change methods of training! it is a known fact that beach training is extremely beneficial for almost all horses! Easier on their joints, straightline training and bets fitness! Look how McLellan horses improve so much when they come up from Southland to Regan Todd’s place on the beach! Is he being dishonest too???????

To be fair, we would all test positive to caffeine, whether it be by coffee or Coke! Wouldnt say it is performance enhancing and nobbled!

The Brodster is home! Sorry no tent, as not that way inclined!
