Great, if I can jinx one stable so that the stakes are spread around other stables, then my job is done! Maybe today’s racing is not too bad after all! Didnt go to Akaroa, go tomorrow as I am loving the racing!

Newmarket,, but they can not collect money off horses!! Why would Stevie bother to renew his license again? HRNZ need to review things majorly if they are going to have an industry in 5 years time!

Second day at Westport, last race, the Stipes nailed Stevie Goulding for using the whip excessively and fined him $300. Yep well done Stipes on picking up that he had used the whip 14 times rather than the permitted 10 times! He used back handers which seemed to be hard to decipher but you Stipes are far cleverer than that. Stevie Goulding was a joint winner of the junior drivers award with Robbie Close one year. He is now out of his Junior time and has barely driven the last year or so as he has found other employment. Stevie is a very likeable young bloke who had enough sense to not be reliant on being involved in harness racing as he has got the intelligence to realise that there is barely a living in the industry for young participants. The fact that these Stipes have to follow such a blatantly stupid rule aimed solely at taking money off our drivers to Full the coffers of HRNZ is so wrong!!! Stevie Goulding came out of harness racing semi retirement to try his best for the owners and trainer of the horse he was driving, and runs second with a very good drive and then is hammered by a fine of $300, which would be more than his driving fee!! Yes I know I wank on all the time about this excessive whip rule, but my reasoning is that if Brodie continues to wank on enough, then you may decide to review it!!! The bit about appeasing SAFE is just blatant BS!! HRNZ it is Xmas time, why don’t you refund Mr Goulding the $300 that you took off him, because he wanted to win a race for the punter, owner and trainer! What was he meant to do? Not drive his horse out????

Race Cafe R.I.P. The site used to be very good when I first started and there was great topics and debate? Then there were a few clowns that came on and just argued for the sheer hell of it! They were allowed to get away with it and it just deteriorated! I am not totally sure why I was given the heave ho? I think it might have been because the great inspirational leader didn’t like me calling myself “The Brodster”. Not sure how I even named myself that really lol?

Probably Akaroa and Duvauchelles! Get house sickness otherwise lol The excitement from watching Auckland might push me over the edge!

I think that Winton would be better for investing and watching! Auckland divs will be small and racing pretty predictable Might get out and about today. Good punting everyone and a great New Year to one and all!

That’s very cruel Hesi! A punishment worse than death!

TAB dont care one iota about losing punters, the more the better! They care more about shutting down winning punters so responsible gambling is not on the TABs agenda!

Happy, some of your very best work! You covered most of the important topics nicely! Wont comment at this stage as most people know the Brodsters opinion on most of your topics! Your posting of topics to BOAY since you have been on has been inspirational! The Darksides loss definitely, and they could do with you over there, before it folds! Happy New Year to everyone including the TAB who I give a lasting to from time to time, rightly deserved though!!!!

Happy, haven’t really been having much of a go this Xmas period unlike previous years! Odds too short really, but backed JJs Delight at overseas it had been going well. Problem is once backed they hammer the odds

You are right Happy, but they weren’t a great lot! I did get a collect though, but heavily restricted to what I wanted

Na. Don’t back gallopers Chief!

No jellybeans Ranga! Full Of sugar, and not good for you, so I am looking after you as I care!

Why would they be laughing Ranga? They would be making bugger all on these crap meetings overseas, and it will be costing them locally!

Golden Gate race 8 $107 in the win pool! How can they possibly be showing different win divs when some of the horses wouldn’t even have anything on them? Surely it is just fictitious divs, couldn’t be anything else?

When we got two Trackside channels they said that we would get an improved racing service. Yes we are very lucky to have Trackside, however it could be far better with some tweaking!!! Reality is that if a punter needs to be betting on Golden Flippen Gate Gallops and many of these other crap meetings then you seriously have a gambling problem!!!! You are betting blindly and for the share hell of it!!!! TAB sort out your crap and get rid of these meetings that aren’t worth betting into because there is never enough in the pools to enable you to have any decent amount of a wager!!!!

Do we nearly need to see Golden Gate Gallops? FFS Local meeting Reefton Trots and we get 1 minute lead in time! TAB has 2 channels and yet we get this crap!!!!

Ranga, can not be bothered anymore! Too Many unders and can not get sufficient on makes for a wasted effort! Odds slashed dramatically when you get some on as well so why bother?.... Thetvthink that they win but the news is that it affects them more than myself!,,

Why did they think that John Dunn was a odd choice? Stupid type of wagering anyway I would have thought! TAB still with their ridiculously low betting limits on account and TAB agencies not worth the effort!!!

Certainly has improved his Driving UDR considerably. Major turn around with his driving winners as previously hadn’t been doing a lot! Great that he is training and he may well pick up a few more horses with his Coast results, although he probably needs to produce Addington winners to be the real deal!!

Newmarket needs the money! Lol

Do not. Relive I am being too hard at all! Stating fact that there was a horse 3 wide that would have given it the one one! He made a poor decision to sit parked on a fast pace and have the horse no show once again!

Yeah can never understand why the North Island meetings always come up before the South Island, even if the South Island meeting is a day meeting???? Why can’t they bring up,the Fixed Odds even earlier than what they currently do, so they get even more money on! Cant be that hard can it?

Think Mr Hunter is more limited! Must run in the family for driving as I gave his brother a spray I think last year lol

I appreciate that there are bad drives in every race, but seriously many of our drivers need to retire themselves to the grandstands! No I didn’t have a wager but zireslly liked Bold Ruler in Race 2 at Gore after its last run which was very unlucky. Never been a major fan of Peter Hunter’s driving, and even less after today’s performance. Bold Ruler drew 2 the second row and got a good run through to be parked early. Veneto was 3 wide and going forward but instead of easing to let Veneto sit parked Mr Hunter pressed on and sat parked the whole way! He was never ever going to get the front and for some unknown reason he wanted to sit parked throughout! Yes it is very easy to drive from the stand but it was not rocket science for Mr Hunter to pull back a bit and let Veneto give him some cover! Some might defend the drive but seriously just another shocker where nothing will be said!,, Yes of course the horse didn’t place but he also wasn’t that far away considering the run it had. The horse in the trail gave up before Bold Ruler did!,, Who backed Bold a Ruler and thought that it was a shocker as well?
