Brodie

Of course I was Tonkatime! Dexter was not value at $1.06!!!!!! When you have such hotshots in Fixed Odds they should be taken out of the market!

I see it is now scratched. Maybe the trainer has read this and knows that Brodie is on the money again and decided to compete up,against maidens.

Forums I thought were to express personal opinions. If Mile Racing was good for racing in NZ they would be run at all the tracks in NZ all the time. The fact is that most punters that offload hate them!

There are a few around that rate mile racing from your crowd Globe!!!!! It is the worst type of racing end of story!!

What the heck? Brodie might get egg on his face, but I doubt it! Donegal Davey Boyd drawn the outside over 2000m at Rangiora opens at $4.20!!!!! The horse has not won in 10starts and can’t win at Forbury and is up against all race winners! Yes Dexter is on but he always is on it and hasn’t won against maidens and yet $4.20 from the outside gate??? Seriously why would it be so short? Do the Bookies know something that Brodie doesn’t????? I know I will get hammered if it wins but I wouldn’t think so! Maybe the Bookies should do a “special” Beragio into Donegal Davey Boyd!!!!!

Does that make Risk a better horse than Lazarus then? Mile Racing is so overrated. Most horses can run a mile and you got black print when you rated under 2.0minutes. Then anything in the 1.50’s was motoring and noteworthy! Now they are running sub 1.50 in qualifying over there! What sort of time would that mare that the Tritons bought off the Teaz’s? She could run sub 1.50 at Menangle somshe would go a helluva lot quicker in the States if she was still sound and at peak. When they are running those sort of times it becomes just a damn procession as you have got no show of making up ground!

Thanks Chief for posting Lazarus race. Great for NZ harness that he won and gives enthusiasts something to talk about and it might mean that more Yanks come looking for our better class horses. The Race was extremely BORING though wasn’t it? You can hardly get excited about MILE races and as I have previously said the fewer that we have in NZ the better! Thank god that the next Jewels is over a longer distance as miles are a borefest!!!! Well done Lazarus!!!

She certainly wasn’t a happy camper tonight. Before the race she couldn’t even pace a yard, and appeared to be extremely sore or something? One of the worst prelims you coul ,possibly ever see, and surprising Alicia even got her pacing eventually. Dont think it was Alicia’s fault I think it was the horse on the night! You would want to see a major improvement in attitude next up to warrant backing it!

You would put anyone off Scooby!

Hesi, can you tell if it is the Dickhead? If it is he needs serious help and this isn’t the site that can give it to him!

Geez, this isn’t really him is it? Congatulations Doug on your bold move to start this Premier Racing Community site, it is a total credit to you and any others that assisted you, well done!! ! I note on the darkside that Newmarket which is the Scoob Operator is still continuing to start topics as no one else will. Last one he is saying that the racing is currently boring just because the Allstars are not racing. Malcolm disagrees with him. The reality is that the average harness racing enthusiast are over the dominance of the AllStars stables. It is turning so many people off harness racing being owners, trainers and punters. It is not going to be any different this season as they will clean up the group and feature races again and there will be more owners that drop out, there will be more trainers give it away as owners drop off and the punters won’t be bothered due to the pathetic odds in the races dominated by the AllStars stables. No it is not sour grapes or the tall poppy syndrome at all, doesn’t affect my financial position whatsoever. It does affect so many in the industry and it is going to be diabolically bad for the industry should this domination continue over the next few years! I would put my last few million on that if the TAB will give me reasonable odds!! !

Yes, he is in again Beragio!!! Race 5 on Sunday at Rangiora drawn the second row from a STAND! Murray Edmonds is down to drive him this time! Imwish Murray all,the best in getting this horse away and keeping it lacing the whole race! Why on earth is he allowed to race and why isn’t he UNRULY?????? Anyone prepared to give Brodie “evens” on whether Beragio Gallops in the Race???? Should be a TAB option!!!!

Certainly hope it wasn’t after the old white mans post. Reality is that there is buggerall racing in the top of the S.I. Not sure why Mark Gill wouldn’t send his horses to Palmy as he would probably win the odd race up there.

Had the set as well Happy! Wife wanted rid of them about 10 years ago and sold them for next to nothing at a garage sale. Can probably afford to buy the set back but don’t think she would allow me to hang them anywhere but the garage

What on earth are you on about? Another one from the darkside just arguing for the sheer hell of it! Is that the best you have got? You are another one I wouldn’t waste my time on again, as you have been sent over to upset this Premier Racing Community site!

Haven’t weighed either of them Sorry, but Chris would be far heavier!!

So what is the weight of Chris??

Oldwhiteman, what have you got against M Gill. There are other trainers who don’t even train a winner in a season!!! Ivan Schwamm’s UDR for 2016 was 0133 having 25 starts for a 3rd which was probably Moy His UDR for 2017 was 0101 having 33 starts for a 3rd once again and probably Moy You can rest assured that there are plenty of others that have lower UDR’s than 0502! Dont know why you have pointed out M Gill’s training record ?

At the end of the day, it was an amateur race. They are amateurs and every amateur race is run differently and with some very poor drives in all,of them. We have debated amateur races before and I personally have sorted out horses that should get in but are beaten by poor drives or poor drives by other amateurs. Debateable whether there should be betting on these races but it is up to the punter to decide whether they want to be in or not. We have to take the good with the bad and the Amateurs are only doing it for the fun of it rather than requiring to make an income or future out of it!

So you are saying that Chris Thornley is lighter than Grant?.

No comment, what I say could be taken down as evidence!

The boat hasn’t sailed yet!

It certainly will not be at my peril at all Harewood. I won’t be investing on the NZ Cup.

Welcome Harewood, Chicago Bull is a very good horse we all know, but it is very hard for an Australian based horse to come over here and win The Cup. He is used to racing on the small tracks and 2 mile stand isn’t that easy for them. I would say that it will be a blue and silver again, not sure which one but they will line up a few I would think.

Of course I am on the money! Grant Ross from looking at him in the cart live, and from videos he is clearly lighter than the other mentioned driver!
