Brodie

This fellah used to be able to drive pretty well I thought!! What has happened to him? He should be sitting in the stand as he is now terrible Always goes down on the fence and more often than not never gets clear runs! Everytime Veras Delight comes to Canterbury it goes well because he isn’t driving it! I hope you read this Brendon because you seriously need to put on drivers that are going to give your horses a chance to win! The fact that you haven’t driven a winner in nearly forty starts this season should be telling you something!!!

Never ever had either Rangatira! Would rather be treated fairly though!!!

No it isn’t just rejection of bets!

Na I have no problem with my gender, Rangatira! Just treat punters differently! They love the losing punters!

Happy, not war stories! Just that the TAB does not treat punters equally and then are not forthcoming with the truth!

No I don’t think they will as they are a law unto themselves. Do know from personal experience that they do not always tell it the way it is!!!!!!

Was it turned down or is it being pondered????

Yes they really do t like to take big bets normally!!! However every now and then there are big bets that Trackside state have been taken!! Are these actually legitimate bets or more just fiction?????

Why have some doubted Brodie’s seriousness? He is the voice of reason!

The stands are still a lucky dip? They should be standing still at the start or change the name to rolling starts!

Yeah pretty ominous once again! Although some of their maidens have not been that good recently for some reason?

You can ALWAYS take Brodie Seriously though! Always on the money!!

Aimee, to be fair, most Harness enthusiasts know exactly how dedicated your family is to harness racing. Your horses are always very well prepared and you do a great job with the horses you have, so wouldn’t be too bothered by a comment. As you know it is a very hard way to make a living but keep up the good work!

Brodie is always on the money, well almost anyway! It was a stupid decision by someone to allow Lovey Dovey Moment to be in the draw and to start from 1 plain dumb! There are many decisions that are made in harness racing by people that just don’t make any sense!

The thing is that if the driver had to be back from the unruly position from the mobile then drawn one off the front, there is going to be a pretty good chance that it is going to gallop early on!! Just seems a bit weird!

Trying to sort out the horses for Friday night st Addington! Noted that Lovey Dovey Moment in Race 8 has drawn the pole in a mobile over 1980m! This horse has been racing from the unruly over the mobile in its previous starts and doing things wrong. It was back from the unruly spot last start and galloped,in the straight And was given a final warning!! Not sure how the horse is now allowed to come into the draw after being unruly and doing things wrong?? Did the connections ask for the horse to start from the unruly in the first place rather than the Stipes making it unruly? Anyhow going to be interesting to see whether it trots from the pole and doesn’t interfere with the ones following it out!!

We went to Meadowlands probably about 5 years ago. I think the pokies keeps the place going and they have give always to the oldies to get them to the casino. As for the racing, boring as hell and not watched by too many. Most of them looked like they were down and outers really unfortunately. The Racing is extremely over rated and I don’t believe that the enthusiasts here would be over there! Although, Iraklis would be into it, I am sure ! YEEEEEEHAAAAAAAGOOOOOO etc.etc.

No. No track in Vegas of course as the horses would die of heat exhaustion. The Rockies they would die of frost bite. Massive snowfall as we were leaving. Lucky to get out of Banff! New York, couldn’t be bothered as hassle with the trains getting to the Meadowlands. You wouldn’t rent a car and drive over there as they are mad and drive on the wrong side!!

Back in town, and yes I saw that the Darkside were mentioning “The Brodster” again. It looked like it came from the grandmaster himself, The Scoobie Doo! Actually, I take it as a huge compliment in that they haven’t forgotten me, and yet I haven’t been over there for such a long time, seems like eternity. Thankyou Darkside, as it appears that Brodie will live forever over there in their eyes, so to leave such an impression, I must’ve been veryvworthwhile for their site!!

Investing into pre nominations is a total gamble without much upside.’ Horse may not start, may get a bad draw etc. No doubt people will disagree though

Went to the Meadowlands one time I was in New York. Havent bothered to go back there. Hassle getting there from Manhattan couple,of trains etc. Didnt have Fixed Odds either and didn’t know the horses, so a gamble which I don’t like to do!!! Did get a collect and thought it paid well, but the divs are for $2 units so effectively halve your div. Coming back to NZ late Wednesday for a holiday, as these holidays involve a lot of work. Been great though and very good company. Need to get back into the serious stuff!!!!!

Basil, haven’t watched it and in no hurry to watch it! Currently in New York and racing here doesn’t interest me in the least. Boring Boring Boring, Mile after flippen Mile. I am sure today’s Timaru Racing would’ve been far better for punting and entertainment!

To be fair Paul Wallace is one of the best amateurs and Romanite likes grass and the others were not much.

Hareeood, Ivwoukdve tipped out Romanite just for you. Likes the Mot grass as bolted in there before and I backed it last time there when it ran 3rd Drop back in grade too but bugger too late now. Did u get on?

Brodie is away for another 10 days or so which is the TABs gain In The Rockies at the moment and one night in a hotel that doesn’t even have a tv in the room has running water tho
