    Good work. Alexy would be The youngest one out of that list though I would say being 8.
  2. Brodie
    Fair enough , but does that mean that the programming was wrong? I can’t see how any club can be a winner when a race on,y has 5 starters, and yes I know it happens at Addington as well in Winter. There is a shortage of horses in slightly higher classes say r60 plus because when they keep dropping ratings there are a lot in the 50’s
  3. Brodie
    To be fair though, a lot of ex AllStar horses that leave the stable do race pretty well, as they have had a lot of therapeutic treatments and pampering and will feel pretty good!

    Newmarket, you are a poet but you don’t know it! Not half enough orgasmic words though.

    I note that Alexy has its 211th start tonight in the claimer at Forbury. Currently trained by Denis O’Connell and has been with him Off and on as well as Bruce Negus! 211 is a helluva lot of starts for any horse in NZ to remain sound and still race reasonably well. If he was in Oz he probably would’ve had at least 300starts. That trotter that started with Phil Williamson and then Greg Hope and the Milina’s had heaps but not sure how many it had! Does anyone know if this would be a record no. of starts for a horse racing in NZ??

    What the treatment that Iraklis needs?

    Auckland Harness is stuffed at the moment. Last race tonight rating up to 62 racing for 14,500 and there are a full field of 5 horses!!!! So it is not the stake money that is the problem clearly! Stakes are good to what they used to race for but I beleive that there are bugger all new owners prepared to shell out big money to breed or buy and take the risk of hoping that their horse has enough ability to pay its way. Personally wouldn’t take the risk either as there are far better ways of making money that is guaranteed than owning horses.

    What a load of bollocks Cross Codes! You May be talking about people from the other site!,

    Sorry, Hesi, wouldn’t say dear to any of us! The childish digs at a few gets extremely tedious and not sure of his shoe size, but it would be pretty close to his maturity age! Wish they would just just suck it up and stop commenting about posters that have gone to this better forum. I agree, there is similar commenting styles which tends to suggest that the other has been site has not got the no. Of posters that they think it still has! Onwards and upwards for Bit Of A Yarn!

    Portfolio, horses that go to the beach do seem to improve their attitude and it does freshen them up, as I am sure horses get sick and tired of going around and around small tracks. Beach work is on sand obviously and easier on their legs and straight training rather than bends. We are still waiting to hear what harness trainers are doing this therapeutic blood treatment. You would think that trainers would be voluntarily coming out and telling us seem it is only therapeutic and all the horses are needing it!!!
  11. Brodie
    Brilliant, and Fart Too Much has the gall to start a blog on that other site telling their small number of posters that Bit Of A Yarn members were looking at The other site and should keep out! Unbelievable hypocrisy!
  12. Brodie
    TAB will have it short as. Probably come out and win!
  13. Brodie
    Would be very interesting to see what other harness stables have all their horses requiring therapeutic treatment? It is legal so you would think that to promote the product then the directors would advertise who uses this blood treatment so that more people would have the treatment and therefore make money??????
  14. Brodie
    Not sure Portfolio, not in any stable! Maybe it is just that he becones more professional do you think?
  15. Brodie
    Went off what Longowner had said. Brodie is always on the money Scoobs will verify that
  16. Brodie
    Yeah, Na!
  17. Brodie
    Newmarket, poorly written then!!!!!!!
  18. Brodie
    Graeme has sent horses to other stables before, perhaps the horses pick up new training techniques?
  19. Brodie
    No, Longowner is right, Newmarket. Kim Butt is Anthony’s daughter and Johnny’s partner.

    Have just noticed the 1980m races at Addington in the nominations, but you beat me to the punch Happy. You are doing a great job with your postings, BOAY’s gain and the other hasbeen sites loss, without doubt. As you know I prefer the longer distance races rather than the shorter sprints so well worth the effort to trial.
  21. Brodie
    Thought Amber Hoofman and Johnny Cox did a good job. Didn’t Roy and Barry Purdon train in partnership a long time ago and were very successful. Reidman had a good partnership with a couple of young fellas
  22. Brodie
    I may not have been on the money, but I have been in the money!
  23. Brodie
    Well done Happy with Rainy River. Just shows you how form doesn’t hold,up in the amateurs! LOL
  24. Brodie
    If someone from the TAB is reading this I think you should look at your betting options today. Someone has stuffed up, all races have saddlecloth options 1 to 5 and 6 to 10 Dah
  25. Brodie
    Does it piss Brodie off ? Not anymore as It is actually costing the racing industry a helluva more than it is costing me. Thing is that their business plan is so flawed and they can’t see it They need to attract money to go on rather than put punters off which is what they are doing The TAB are far too interested in yield rather than turnover By restricting punters and poor odds has a detrimental affect on turnover and ultimately profit
