Brodie

Could be one of many races in Auckland! Most of Alexandra Park races look pretty staged as any at the back just sit there and dont put their horses in the race.

Totally agree. Can you put a good word in for them to relax the restrictions! Only fair seem it is Xmas time nearly.

Race run at a crawl, slowest 1980m by miles. Setup for that maiden and how can anyone follow form when a race is run at such a pathetic pace????? Egg on my face I suppose but you can’t predict that sort of shite!!!!

I appreciate that it is happening quite often nowadays, but why on earth do trainers line up maiden horses against race winners? Court On The Edge trained by Cran Dalgety is inthe last at Addington tonight and hasn’t been that impressive at all against maidens so far. The TAB has opened it at ridiculously short odds for what it has done so far, and there is also a bit on the tote at this early stage. Personally can’t understand why when there are plenty of other maiden races around! Could someone please enlighten Brodie? Doubt this would have happened under the previous handicap system

It is such a long winded event that just drags on for what benefit. If the prosecutors have got evidence then spit it out and let’s get back to normal. I personally have not heard anything from anyone that points to anything like race fixing and in the meantime the people charged are living with these charges. Surely the RIU have seen what the charges are and if they are all legitimate and they feel that the charged are guilty then this needs to be brought out. Brodie may not be on the money on this occasion and I don’t really care, what I don’t think is right is these stupid appearances In court and then more dates to appear in court. If there is evidence damnwell have a court case and put their evidence up! Flimsy at best I would say!!!

How can Graham Beirne be charged with race fixing??? i didn’t realise that Graham was a trainer or driver of harness horses! Wish they would just get on with these prosecutions as it is such a waste of everyone’s money and time. The lawyers are the ones who will do very nicely out of this debacle

“Back in the day”? It is still Brodie’s day!

No you wouldn’t last a kidney stone a day Happy! If you were doing that you would not last six months as your kidneys would be effed! Hve had kidney stones many years ago and the worst pain you could imagine!

Don’t give anyone ideas that it could well be more race fixing! All the drivers might be involved, including the Stipes!

Basil, Seriously, If you think that that dog is beautiful, I wouldn’t be that keen to meet your partner!

Diceman, you are the proverbial goose if you think I am in Paul Court’s Court!!!!! You are certainly entitled to your opinion in regards to Johnny White, even it is wrong! You have watched the replays no doubt, so you clearly can not read it though!!! Johnny White didn’t run on at all the first day! Maybe in hindsight Matt Anderson could’ve pushed forward the first day and may have been caught out wide and stopped, then he would have been castigated for his drive. No way he would’ve beaten the court’s horse that day by the way both of them ran. Race fixing my arse!

Brodie is usually always on the money, and as think you will find that this Inca thing is certainly been overhyped. I am aware that certain charged people were setup and I am not too sure how legal this actually is in a court of law? What I find extremely hard to understand is why Dexter has not been asked to return to NZ to answer charges, as I beleive Dexter and Blair were the two that were originally the first so-called offenders to race fixing! If the prosecutors have substantial evidence against them then how on earth are they both still driving??? Arsenic, clearly by your name you have had some issues in your life, but being toxic towards hardworking people without any evidence is not that becoming to tell the truth. You may well be right, hopefully you are not, but the sooner the better that the evidence is produced the better!!!!

This is dragging on for a ridiculous length of time,but I fortunately this is the NZ law system. There have been all sorts of rumours going around and some are probably true and some are probably not! From what I have read and then watched race replays, there is absolutely nothing in it whatsoever, however ai am not privy to any telephone recordings. The so-called Johnny White races at Nelson, there is totally nothing wrong with it. First day Johnny White would never have beaten the Court runner Whether it was in front or not. Second day after being lambasted by several people for going back on the first day, Matt Anderson decided to go forward and lead. Every race there are drivers that drive horses different to what they previously have!!!!! The sooner the better that the so-called evidence is produced the better! I do not beleive that there will be many that get found guilty and as you know Brodie is always on the money, if not this time then Brodie has egg on his face!!!

Mountain out of a molehill! Our legal system is pathetic! No flippen wonder the courts are chocker when everything just takes so long.

What an intelligent question Rangatira! Not sure whether you are male or female, probably male but I am sure you still wear woman under garments with that catty question! If a female punter is successful then she will more than likely be restricted! Whether that female punter is you Rangatira is the question!

Great to see a young Kiwi win this event once again and doing it in OZ! The reality is that many Junior races would not be held if it wasn’t for females nowadays! Many occasions half the fields for junior drivers are now females and they generally do a pretty good job of it. Without female stablehands trainers days would be a lot longer. Hopefully girls will continue to come into the industry as without them it would be more of a struggle!

Tonkatime, What was the bet? was it a 4K win bet on harness racing?????? Yes you can get plenty on sports betting! Yes you can get money on Gallops no problem! Yes they take win bets on harness racing well aware Do they take plenty from winning punters who bet on harness??? No they don’t unless they have changed their rules! Gopefully they have.

Meant it was commonsense for Oamaru club to go to The allweather track early!

Common sense really! Well done.

I also agree that if a mare has returned a positive to being in foal, then there should be some onus on the trainer to advise the punters, early enough before they offload! What is the point just befire the race? In Oz they always advise change of driving tactics! Here very often there are a change in tactics but nothing is ever said. I don’t believe that HRNZ will enforce this, as it involves a bit of work, and it js also easier to leave as is and just ensure that drivers don’t use the whip more than 10 times!

Flagship, as a punter I like the passing lane, as I would hate to not get a run when in the trail. Auckland Racing as a spectacle is a bit non existent and with the Auckland Cup meeting coming up, it is not going to be any better due to the one stable dominance.

Auckland Harness is extremely boring nowadays. You can’t come from the back, and most drivers apart from the leading ones just sit until the straight!

Rangatira, less of the old please! Merry Xmas to you as well old fellah!

I meant if the odds are not right don’t bother

Happy, you are correct, everyone has their own methods. I never take erotics, bugger I meant exotics!!! To consistently make money you need to put in effort and have ability to assess horses and drivers. I know people who do put in plenty of effort but don’t make money. Plenty of people can back plenty of winners but to consistently win, you can not be betting on every race. Pick and choose and if the odds are right, then don’t bother! The TAB rely on the mug punters to make money and that is why successful punters are heavily restricted!
