Brodie

Still restrictions Ranga!

The difference is Ranga, that Brodie doesn’t need the money!!!

Happy, never once said that they don’t deserve success! They are so far ahead of the pack it isn’t funny! Just not great for harness racing, going forward!

Brodie on cue! Harness Racing is totally stuffed without horses and punters! Owners are getting the stitch totally with this dominance Basil, the yearling sales this year shows that if you go thru who the buyers were! Punters are turned off as well from the minute divs. at premier meetings! The big bets on the hot favourites that are being put on are a surefire way of losing! The average punter is not bothering on these days! The AllStar supporters are allowed their opinion just as well as the intelligent posters who actually know what affect it is having on harness racing,

JJ aint Flash, should just give up while he is behind! He is obviously aligned to the AllStars it isn’t funny and is totally blinkered it is not funny. Pointless even debating with him!

Retire now then Mark, if it is so tiring! Our hearts bleed, it is not about the money apparently!!! Well stop lining the horses up in the group races and let other owners get some money back! You don’t give a rats about anyone else except your own juggernaught! People are in awe of your winnings Mr Purdon, but doesn’t mean it is popular!

Is Shree any relation to the Tomlinson’s?

How could Tim Williams be driving half cut as he was only on Trim Milk!

You are totally correct Joe, but we are wasting our time commenting on the subject any more! Reality is that these one eyed AllStar supporters are totally blind to what is happening and the consequences that are happening! Yes the major races are a total turnoff for most punters, nominations are pathetic when AllStars are nominated! They say we are jealous or supporting mediocrity but we are just concerned about the harness industry going forward! I am going to have to stop commenting on the topic as it is a total waste of time as we get the same response every time from the blinded! Doesnt and won’t affect me financially as I have said previously, it is the owners and trainers who are wanting a slight return for their investment in their harness horses that I feel sorry for! This years yearling sales is just another nail in the coffin!

Well done Happy lol

Didn’t know u were on lol

Happy, grass track form recently, not sure about all weather with Weaver on?

There are some positives about the Harness Jewels this year! Firstly they are at Addington the best Harness track in Australasia by far! Secondly, not over a stupid mile, so sanity prevailed! It will not be such a yawn feast due to both of those reasons! Will it be predictable with the same owners and the same trainer winning all or almost all of the races? Of course and that combined with the usual BS that we hear leading into them is not worthy of the time given to them! Do we really need to hear about whether Michael thinks a runner should be $1.30 rather than $1.20 ?? Blah Blah Blah! That combined with the AllStars fan club with hand on gland when some don’t even punt! Bring on the maiden racing I say, far better viewing and not as costly to Harness Racing, as The Jewels costs the industry a lot of money as it is heavily subsidised!

No point, everyone knows most people’s opinion on the subject! Reality is that there is only a few that actually enjoy The AllStars stable plundering all the major stakes and the same owners buying up and winning! The majority of enthusiasts are totally over it and it is costing the industry bigtime, and is very detrimental! Fortunately it doesn’t affect me financially it is the the putrid BS that you here before and after races that they are in!

Stop fantasising then!!!

Basil, it is great that The All Stars are winning the money off the Ozzie’s, long may it continue! While they are over there they are not plundering the stakes here! We all know that they are champions at training and doing things that no other trainer is doing! Do I beleive that the Ozzie’s are not concerned that their big races are being won by a NZ trainer? No I don’t and I also don’t beleive that they will allow it to happen continually as we all know that the Ozzie’s hate giving money away to Kiwis!!

May have been deregistered from breeding but still gives it a go!

Didn’t see the race or the aftermath re The interview that didn’t happen! Just great to see decent stake races being won by different trainers! Interviewing Purdon and Rasmussen after a win is nauseating!

If punters follow Trackside presenters and commentators tipscthat win , then that is great. Personaly prefer to sort my own out, as that is more fun and rewarding I would’ve thought? Funny listening to some of the Trackside tipsters, like Dave MacDonald, as he just about tips the whole damn field, and you would go broke backing them all!

Did she not get fined Basil $1000 as well then? What did Ms. Rasmussen get?

Meant to be several hundred thousand dollar race

The 2 worst cases were in the NZ Cup by reinswomen and they get fined! Murray Howard a very part time driver and good horseman gets hammered in a maiden race with a poorish stake and gets fined $500. Rasmussen and Manning I think got $1000 in a several thousand dollar group 1 race? Pathetic ill thought out rule, got to go, end of storey!

Not sure what you are saying JJ? Didnt blame Stable for 2 nominations at all! Did you have a reason?

Why did you mention Purdon JJ? Did you have some thoughts as to why there are not 2 year olds ready to line up?

What is going on with harness racing at the moment when it comes to 2 year old racing? $10k race at Addington over 1980m for 2 year old male pacers has 2 nominations, that is right 2, Not one hundred per cent sure of the reason but most enthusiasts will have a pretty good idea as to why! Will be interesting to see if there are many more noms and the race takes place!
