Brodie

Hunter, don’t feel sorry for Brodie, he is able to cope with most things! One of my biggest disappointments in life is that I have been suspended for a couple of days by The administrator Scooby, for what I am not too sure? Apparently he thinks I am a Bignoter and called “The Brodster” a “Tosser” Very hurtful that was, and not too sure as to how he knows that I am a tosser? Anyway I think I need to leave that site alone as there are a rogue element on there that don’t want to debate any issue diplomatically and with fact, but just want to stir. The administrator I personally believe has lost the plot as well allowing several to railroad other people’s views, just because they can and the intelligent posters are being the ones suspended! Yes I can say things with tongue in cheek at times, but we all need some humour in our lives at times don’t we? Anyway, hopefully the semi intelligent will come across to here!

I personally believe that amateurs should be given a bit more leniency than the so-called professionals who be paid. The amateurs consistently get treated harder than the pros! 3 months seems extremely harsh for what they didn’t do!

Boxie, Yes there is betting on amateur driver harness racing nowadays. I also didn’t mean to say that the 2 drivers should have been put out, I meant they probably should have made a move before the bend. You see this all the time and yet nothing is said! Hammering the Amateurs is rubbish!

I note that 2 amateur drivers John McDermoot and Sue Blake have had their AMATEUR licenses suspended for about 3 months yesterday at Rangiora. They lost their ability to drive on Raceday for 3 months due to them both not giving their horses the best chance by basically not hooking out at the 300 and 350 metres after they were having good runs in the running line. Yes agree that they probably should’ve gone, but 3 months? They are AMATEURS after all! The issue is that it once again seems extremely excessive and that there are POOR drives in every race that the so-called professionals are in! Nothing is ever said to those drivers in the Stipes reports! It is the poor AMATEURS that consistently seem to be getting hammered!
