Brodie

Newmarket, yes I did have a break for many weeks as I couldn’t be bothered and was overseas for a wee bit as well. No I don’t tip before or even say what I have backed after a race. There is a clear reason that I don’t which I don’t think I need to explain on here! Regards the $2 each way on my first bet then gave up, that is hilarious and I haven’t stopped laughing. As for the screenshot of Bets, I am hardly going to do that for obvious reasons Newmarket! Personally don’t give a rats what you think regarding my punting, I don’t need self reassurance for too much nowadays. If you knew me personally you would know that I don’t do the punting for the financial gain, I do it for the challenge!!!! It is not gloating or an ego thing at all, what I try to point out to the TAB is by restricting punters and having low Fixed Odds is turning the punter off racing in NZ and that is detrimental to the sport.

American racing is very dreary, Happy! Mile Racing is shocking and they just sit because they are going so fast. Not sure why they continue to race over that distance?

If you are referring to Brodie, then you are telling porkies. When has Brodie ever stated that he was an EXPERT???? What he has complained about on numerous occasions is the ridiculous betting restrictions put,on himself and others! You are most welcome to come back on and state when I actually called myself an expert!!! A successful punter, yes, an expert no!

You are an absolute arse!!!! Havent made up a damn thing! Go back and crawl under a rock somewhere, you are just on here to cause trouble!!!

Rangatira, where have you gone to? Brodie is always on the money, but I will never name names, as it is unfair on people concerned!! Brodie, as you know always stands up for fairness!

What I am saying is that the costs to run racing in NZ is more than what the TAB receives. I have it on very good authority! A lot of meetings run in NZ costs them!

Geez, you are an antagonistic xxxxxx The TAB doesn’t make money on NZ Racing!!! They make money on sports betting and Oz Racing! !! I have it on very good authority Ranga xxxx Tira, but I certainly am not going to name names on a public forum!!!

Rangatira, if you know more than what the boys at the TAB do, then kindly advise us all of your qualifications! Why is it that they want to close so many tracks if they are making money for the TAB. Sports betting is where they are making the money, and that is subsidising the racing.

Rangatira, what the hell is it with you that you want to be such an antagonistic dickhead???? Ask the big boys at the TAB, and they will tell you! Full of it? Yes, full of knowledge!

Yes! Ask them!!!!

The problem is that the costs of running racing is too high compared to the amount of profit being generated. The track attendance at most meetings nowadays is abysmal and it is the same punters that keep going, however I personally know many who have given up going in recent years. The TAB doesn’t make money on racing in NZ and would be happy just to have sports betting as it costs them very little to run. There are going to be drastic changes coming in in the next couple of years and is going to costs thousands of people their jobs. New punters need to be enticed into punting or the industry is doomed!

More of the dear and less of the old!

How can you ban it, when The recently retired Beragio got away with so much. You are right, the Stipes need to a,e decisions on these unruly horses, but they would rather fine or suspend drivers who are out to win races!!

Another Kelly Evander in the making. As I say, some people race horses that are not worth the effort and aren’t competitive.

Motukarara has next to none racing days for Gallops. Harness will Clearly still Race there, providing they get a decent cell tower there, and stop having the old time music blurting out every meeting!

Who cares about Gallops??? What is going to happen with harness? I can see that people are going to get very disillusioned with racing in NZ as a viable career.

The big thing is also the loss of a huge number of the jobs at the TAB. How many agencies are goi g to stay open! I suggest not that many! There is going to be a major shake up, and it isn’t going to be for the best for many.

I see that Lets Elope is now back from racing in Australia for a few years. He is now a 10 year old and you would wonder why the owners have brought him back ,although there is bugger all open class horses around in the North Island at the moment, so maybe they think they can do better than Ox. It is very rare indeed for male horses to come back to Nz when they are easier to place around the states in Oz! He is in a 4 horse field at Cambridge on Thursday night. Rangatira, don’t flippen bother!!!!

Rangatira, apologies to the other people on here, but you are not going to ruin this site like you are trying to, but you are just a dickhead!

Really Honkin, I believe ended up with Lindsay Kerslake with the dual sulkies! Yes he could really run.

Newmarket, crazy comment! So all the trainers don’t want to win good money with horses that come up early as two year olds just so that they can win the Jewels? We all know who wins most of the Jewels races! Jewels is just so over rated!!!!

Rangatira, can’t be bothered with your efforts to have Brodie on, winners to sort for Addington. Discuss things with yourself!

Hi Robert. They will win most if not all of the 2 year old races that they compete in! The Thing is that 2 year old racing was very strong just after Cup time many years ago in Christchurch but now it doesn’t really start till the new year, and most don’t bother now because they know there is no money in it! Reality is that the domination is having a helluva detrimental effect on harness racing in NZ whether you believe it or not! The next few years are going to be very vital to where the sport is going to go!

Very intelligent posting but we could expect something like this couldn’t we? Productive Not!

Probably not, because you don’t always write stuff that makes sense
