Brodie

Overkill. Let us just see what transpired before we react! Innocent until proven guilty I used to think, and here some are putting the boot into the very men that have kept the harness racing industry going in Canterbury.

What a load of bollocks! I don’t see any benefit at all from this journo who you would think was meant to be a harness racing enthusiast! I portray most harness racing trainers as being very hardworking as it is not an industry that is easy to make money in! So you are saying that Blair Orange, Dexter Dunn , John Dunn, Nigel MaGrath etc. are not hardworking and the epitome of harness racing. These fellas work a lot longer in hours than any of you probably do and travel tens of thousands of miles per year just to make a living. I appreciate that they are under suspicion for fixing races which I don’t like either being a punter. I have personally spoken to each one of the accused men over the years to different degrees and can honestly say that every one of them I have found to be down to earth and very likeable. I do not think we should be castigating them at the moment until we know exactly what has been going on! I can take the heat from anyone on here because it does not affect my livelihood, however these men deserve to be heard before they are chucked under the bus!! I am in the minority on this I appreciate it, but for the good of the industry I beleive we should be going easy on it at this stage until the details are out, or we may have no harness industry in the years ahead.

Why bring it more into the public’s notice when the industry has had a hammering this week. This fellah has done the industry no favours.

Newmarket let’s not continue trying to hammer the harness game as it has had a hammering all week. We need to all hang in to keep the industry alive or this could be the death knell for it. I am not condoning race fixing but I don’t beleive it is that common, although I will eat humble pie and be very disappointed if it is rampant! The drugs thing is a bit of a problem but as I say it has a,ways been very common in racing being both harness and Gallops. Young ones nowadays are all under pressure from peer pressure to try them I understand.

Sometimes the men in white coats will just turn up though!

Just read an article from the harness journalist Mat Kermeen who is a journalist for The Press I believe! What a load of disgusting writings that I find apalling being written by the harness journalist for The Press! I beleive this journo took over from Matt Markham who always did a good job. Why on earth would a supporter of harness racing want to write an article about HOW TO FIX A HARNESS RACE???????? With what is currently on why would someone who is meant to be a supporter for the good of harness racing want to write this NEGATIVE BS??? This fellah has obviously been taught by the same journo that wrote the gutter BS about young Bronson Munro! WAY TO GO Mat Kermeen, you are a real asset to be writing on behalf of harness racing! Keep up the great work and you will have no job writing about harness racing! Absolutely poor performance on your behalf, and I tell you now you will get no accolades from most harness racing supporters and I can clearly see why The Press readers are diminishing when they have gutter stories being written once again by their journos. Hang your head in shame as I think it was a totally disgusting article from someone who should be promoting harness racing rather than trying to KILL IT!!! AAAAGH

Seriously, Brodie has been certified as being totally sane! The question has to be asked have you ever been checked out, because seriously you have some major issues that need addressing. If you are on here just to stir shit, then piss Off back to the Darkside, where you would fit in nicely!

Newmarket, Brodie is always on the money! What I say and what I know is always correct! The fact that a third party who is involved with the TAB told me that Dexter is on the way back does not make Brodie Not on the money! I would say he will be on the way back shortly if not already!!!! Disclaimer of course.

You can give up the first two but you shouldn’t penalise yourself for the third one , as not your fault

Probably needs something after these shenanigans! Brodie is always on the money, however he was informed this morning by someone that said that Dexter is on his way back! Whether he meant he was on the plane or has made plans to come back, not sure, but don’t believe that under the circumstances that the police will let him stay over in the U.S.A. Until he wants to come back!! ! Brodie is only as good as his informants and disclaimer is that I can not be blamed for any information that I receive in good faith. Think you will find that I am on the money though, at the rate things are progressing!

Ok, if that is true then I have been informed wrongly! Will be interesting to see what happens then.

Chief, you are dead right in regards to tactical mistakes and odd drives, it happens in every race and that is one of the beauty’s Of Harness Racing! If it all went to plan then the best horse and best driver would win everything e just about. Word has it that Dexter is on his way back from the U.S.A.

Realty is that there has always been some type of drugs with the young for many years. I know that marijuana was the go thru harness racing young for as long as I can remember. The young stablehands work extremely hard and long hours and when they do get a chance to relax they seem to take these drugs. Certainly not condoning them whatsoever, but think it is in most industries and just not the young ones! You would wonder though how testing is not picking it up, and maybe that is the same with horse testing?

This is clearly going to turn the harness racing scene upside down. In future alll bad drives will be looked at? Hard to believe that some of these trainers/ drivers will be found guilty though. Brodie keeps his powder clean and there is a meeting on Friday night that warrants a bit of work anyway. Feel sorry for the families that have been caught up in this shambles!

WTF??

Fair enough Happy! He makes these claims that I lie, and then when you ask him what lies, he comes up with something about exhuming a horse? Defies any logic really!

What on earth are you on? What exhuming Of a horse then???? You have seriously lost the plot, and less of the old!!!

Brodie doesn’t have any disguises! Brodie is upfront with everything, never any dodgy tactics from him!

Word could be out that the $2 ew punter known as “The Brodster” could well be questioned! Not too sure when he was given a tip that he backed though?

It would be pretty dumb I would think! This topic will go on for months with accusations but at the end of the day, hopefully the right outcome will occur. Might make it easier for the TAB to shut Harness down!

There are all sorts of rumours floating around and of course many are just BS Dunn’s are major trainers I would’ve thought? Can not see the Dunn’s race fixing at all and Brodie is always on the money! The alleged race fixing by others has been around for awhile, but how on earth would a computer be able to prove that? Why would you send emails or have incriminating evidence on your computer?

A fair result I suppose. Bronson will have learnt from this and was blown out of proportion. Interesting though that the whole storey was never published

This has been ongoing for awhile I believe. No use with the conjecture as it will come out in the wash as they say. The unfortunate thing is that it will tarnish the whole industry even if there is no foul play!

Who would’ve thought?????

Happy, unbelievably ridiculous how many were money back. Thats why I haven’t had a bet on the tote since Fixed Odds came in. When I have been on holiday in Oz and looked at the tote pools especially Queensland, you have to laugh as the pools are next to nothing. Tote betting is not worth the effort as the divs. change with such frequency!
