Brodie

Sorry to be a wee bit rude, but I would be happy with one of each!

They need to concentrate on harness racing rather than worry about their protege Brodie! They clearly don’t know a helluva lot about who they are abusing as they would not be calling me poor, and I certainly don’t feel old, so it is onwards and upwards for the premier harness racing forum, Bit Of A Yarn! Congaratulations must go out to Chief and Hesi for starting this site from scratch and turning it into the best site in a very quick time! To be fair though the operators of the Darkside forum have made it a damn side easier with their pathetic behaviour towards their previous best contributors, who offered the most! Bit Of A Yarns gain, is the Darkside loss big Time! Yes the Darkside will no doubt comment about this, but then they are infatuated with Brodie as their previous comments clearly show!

The are done and dusted Hesi. The only ones posting on the Darkside now are All Star supporters so clearly they are very closely linked! They can try and take the piss out of Brodie as much as they want, but at the end of the day Brodie is always on the money!

Fair call Rangatira! Brodie is all about fairness as everyone knows! Need something to do as I have quite a bit of spare time on my hands since my restrictions and piss poor odds from the TAB have been brought in! Maybe someone could start a petition wanting “The Brodster” as chief Stipe, and I guarantee I would do an unbelievably great job, certainly far better than what is being achieved at the moment! To be fair it wouldn’t be that difficult, commonsense could be my middle name!

I note the Darkside has given a full topic to Brodie in regards to a posting on here In Regards to the AllStars domination! Newmarket RC is clearly sexually attracted to me in that for some reason he thinks that I have two Dicks!!!! They also think that Hesi has two dicks as well! Not too sure why they think that but I would settle on one decent one, and leave the fantasising to them!!! Seriously though there site is clearly on the slippery slopes when they are talking about sexual parts to try and stimulate interest!!!

Basil, might be an opportunity for you then!

FFS Basil, where have I said you were on the NZRB or connected to the AllStars? As Taku has said everyone including Tony H doesn’t know how the horse wasn’t chucked out! Waste of time debating with you as you are a stirrer!

Cichlids, I am not in a position to denigrate each and every Stipe in this country, and yes you obviously have more of a handle on some of these things. Personally not a forum to vent our opinion on these employees as it can be dangerous! What Brodie will always point out is injustices that he sees, and hopefully this will prove things and future decisions! I wouldn’t be guaranteeing that though, as there have been many stipendiary steward decisions that are just blatantly wrong, and these should not be being made by people who are working for an INTEGRITY unit!

Basil, you have clearly come on just to take the piss! you have to be have been drinking all day for you to have written that crap! Mr Yips should’ve been chucked out in 2 minutes! The horse did not complete the distance by running inside the markers, he checked other horses and changed the order of the horses order! Blatant ridiculous decision by Stipes that acted irrationally, and it is not the first time as we all know! You can say what you want Basil as you have some connection with officialdom even though you will deny it! If you haven’t and you beleive what you have said then your thought patterns are seriously misguided!

Wishful thinking Happy!

Basil, great to have you on with your wisdom! Solution Basil is for them to piss off to Australia but that is not going to happen as the Ozzie’s wouldn’t put up with long term! Bitching is allowed on forums Basil if you weren’t aware of it! You may be happy with what is going on but I can tell you now that most aren’t! May not affect you at all Basil, and it certainly doesn’t affect me financially either, but I am majorly concerned for the harness racing industry in the next few years, for the ones that are involved!

Does it really take 3 presenters giving their opinions and wanking on about The AllStars to pick $1.30 winners???? Seriously these Premier meetings are putting punters off harness racing and going on about the one stable race after flippen race is just boring! Auckland Premier Harness is stuffed if all we are going to get is these under$2 winners race after race, and there won’t be horses racing against the AllStars! This domination from one stable plundering the major stake money is doing massive damage to harness racing in NZ unlike anything else. You can have your head in the sand and be saying that it is great to watch good horses but if this continues there will not be enough horses around to race in a few years! Ask punters what they think of this domination and most will tell you that they have given up punting on these types of meetings.

Greg basically was sick of Michael Guerin booking on!! Personally not sure how paying for 3 Trackside presenters is money well spent! Michael Guerin wanking on about the AllStars all night is downright boring and when they pay $1.30 to win, it is mind numbing and a waster of time!

Yankiwi,, no the Stipes were not right at all!, Yes they made a decision that to anyone with any level of intelligence could see was the wrong one! How on earth can anyone now have confidence in the Stipes in the future? It was an absolute shocker and there are many others as well which have been clearly evident as well! Mr Ydgren O.G. ten appears on Trackside waffling on about horses due to race about whether they in season or different tactics etc. which is fine, but I would prefer that he could make intelligent decisions and Mr Ydgren an co. Did not last night. You just can’t defend incompetence!

I challenge someone from HRNZ to come on here and validate the decision made quickly last night!!! They won’t because they are a law unto themselves and can make blatantly stupid decisions and don’t answer to anyone! There has not been a single contributor that has said that the Stipes were correct, but you watch Ydgren will come out and defend it by saying it was the rules! Well Mr Ydgren you should have some damn common sense and if you think that what Mr Herlihy did last night was alright, then you should be sacked, as you are an absolute fool and in the wrong job! Maybe a circus job as a clown!,

Stipes your decision last not is totally wrong and if that is the best you can do then you should step down

Hunter, just telling it the way it is! Plenty of time to post as nothing worth investing on lol

This racing is easy. race 8 $1.40 win $1.00 $1.10 $1.0 You have to be kidding that 2 horses you get your money back for a place and the other one 10 cents. Yes brilliant for premier racing with such dominance. No use running these races, as we know the results

You are right Whiteman! Imagine if leading Canterbury trainers took horses up there as well there would be absolutely no stake money for the the CD horses.

Enjoying the fab racing from Auckland tonight, and the massive win divvies! $1.60 $1.80 $1.60 $3.40 $1.30 and $1.70 Gooooo yeeeeee haaaaa Go the mighty blue and silver, you are really inspirational and making everyone joyous about punting. This continuation of pathetic divvies and short Fixed Odds is doing nothing to retain punters let alone get increased turnover. This continues and South Island owners of Horses won’t bother sending their horses to Auckland due to having to run for a minor placing at best! As for a spectacle then the racing is so BORING! We know the odd one will be enjoying it but then he doesn’t even punt!!!!!

No doubt we will get Ydgren on TV with his condescending voice trying to explain to the uneducated why the horse wasn’t disqualified! The horse didn’t receive any advantage and Mr Herlihy took all efforts blah blah blah!!!! Mr Ydgren you effed up majorly and we know you will never apologise because the Stipes never do and yet they display no commonsense or fairness in many cases! I could name many cases where they have got things so wrong! Just as well they aren’t in our justice system or murderers would walk free!!!!

I know I probably shouldn’t say it, but I think I have to!! I believe that several of the Stipes In NZ are ex horsemen who could not make a go of a career in training or driving! So because of that Harness NZ has given them positions as stipendiary stewards, and after decisions like this tonight, some have failed at this as well! Whoever was the Stipes at Auckland tonight and made the decision to not disqualify Mr Yips should hang their heads in shame. Dont want to hear that they only followed the rules, which is absolute BS! That horse gained a damned advantage and if they couldn’t see this they shouldn’t be in the job!! Even Mickey Guerin and Whale beleived it was a bit of a no brainer that it had to go out! Auckland Stipes you showed the no brainer tonight with your decision!

The Racing Integrity Unit is a load of bollocks!! How on earth can you have any confidence that there is integrity with shite decisions coming from the top. Why don’t horses take a sjlrtcut across the middle of the track, you could say it wasn’t gaining an advantage. RIU your decision making is farcical too often for anyone to have confidence in you!

Pathetic performance by Chief Stipe Nick Ydgren at Auckland tonight! Mr Yips retained his first placing after going inside the marker pegs for at least 3 marker pegs and took another horses position! Anyone that defends this decision from the Stipes in Auckland need counselling! No, didn’t back anything, but a vote of no confidence in Ydgren is a must after that decision!!!! Did the Stipes know people who backed the horse??

To be fair Nowornever, I have been pretty quiet and easy on the Bookies over the past few months! I like to help the TAB increase their turnover, however they clearly are not listening! Their loss, not mine!
