  1. Tiger Tara actually went far better than The Fixer, but then it got the biggest cheque! I think that Todd went far too early when there was no need to as Tiger Tara has got great finishing speed and would’ve won, had he sat for longer!!
  2. Plonker, That is charming! Successful plonker though you would have to say Globe!!!!! Dont need to think out of the square at all! Just can’t be bothered and don’t need to be bothered betting on Cup Day as it is very monotonous with the one stable plundering all the big stakes!!!
  3. Richie, call me what you want, telling it the way it damn well is!!! Domination is killing it! Poor dividends and returns for the once a year attendees does absolutely nothing in getting them back during the year. Look, doesn’t affect my living standards whatsoever, as I am financially very secure! However, it is going to kill the sport, as new owners are not coming into the harness industry, and punters are goi g to be fewer and far between. just couldn’t be bothered backing any at $1.50, as there are other ways of making a lot of money without backing a horse at ridiculously short odds. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, which I respect, however things are not goi g to bet any better if one trainer wins every race on Cup day that they have horses in.
  4. AllStars benefit day once again. If you can’t see that this is absolutely the worst thing that can happen for harness racing then you are blind!!!!!
  5. Brodie is going out, but there does not appear to be to much to offload on. Turn It Up, $1.40 and $1.01 Fixed!!!!! Might put plenty for a place at $1.01 FFS. There are heaps of others that are major unders. Hopefully it won’t be a AllStars benefit day again, because with the small dividends they will be, will only make sure that people won’t come back until next year! Goooooooooboooooooyyeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaa etc.
  6. Yeah right! I am more than the full quid!!
  7. Probably lines! I shan’t talk when on the track I Sharn’t talk when on the track I sharn’t talk when on the track 1000 times
  8. Could Mr Kennett be Iraklis from the Darkside? Possible similarities. Brodie normally, I mean always on the money!
  9. There are very few posters on RC nowadays and they have several names. The Scoobster needs to come over from “The darkside” so that he can get ideas from here so they can post over there!!
  10. Didn’t have an investment at Forbury as odds were shite due to field sizes. Opening Odds are still pretty pathetic! Didnt even back a winner at Rangiora today!!!

    Does Winchester still have the Rodeo around Xmas time?
  12. Personally, from a punting perspective, would rather see some maiden races and lower class horse races in Cup Day! Far easier to punt on, as I hate form races!!!
  13. All too short. Don’t buy money!!!
  14. Four of the five inside draws! What were the odds of that? Race will be a yawn going by that! Domination
  15. Geez I know the years go quicker as you get older but FFS 72?
  16. Why did he say good luck with Sheriff in the free for all then? Got nothing to do with me!
  17. You what? Who on earth is John Schreck??
  18. Always restrictions and as we are all getting to know it is difficult to get big bets on, if they don’t like them! To be honest I haven’t been too bothered in the past couple of months or so. Wasnt investing for the money really, it was more of the challenge of “you know the odds , now beat them” aw, , that’s right that was superseded with “Are you in?” Only in If you are allowed In !! You do get sick of being treated like you are a criminal by trying to invest on racing!!!!
  19. You would be a major mug punter betting so early into markets. There obviously are punters that do offload but doubt there is any value around. The Jewels Odds are brought out too early and the AllStars horses are always too short to offload!
  20. More money down the drain if you bet early on the Fixed. Chicago Bull now Ultimate Machete! Why would you bother. Was Monbet in the mRket for the Dominion?
  21. Better to sit the cup out and just watch. Gambling is so overrated! Far better to invest!
  22. Lazarus will sure more winners here than in the U.S. I believe he will be sent back here in the next couple of years! Yeeeeeenaaaaaagooooooooobooooooy etc. Owners Rights to sell him but personally thought that they would’ve made far more by standing him at stud here!!!!!

    Shut Up Greg

    Personally think Greg does a really good job on Trackside. We are very lucky in Canterbury with Mark McNamara and Greg O’Connor as well as Matt Cross. They leave the North Island equivalents for dead!
  24. Charlie Wood was certainly one of his best and a bit of an ironhorse. Beleive he started out as a pacer and then trotted for many races. Dougs horses always just seemed to want to run as fast as they could for as long as they could! Remember him out the cart in the preliminaries most of the time lol
  25. It is sad news. One thing Doug will be remembered for was his horse in the bog at Reefton or Westport that was out by 200 metres or so and got beaten!!! Was it something like Surprise Warrior???
