  1. Have seen some less than average stands in the South Island as well though Galah! Just a raffle these stands
  2. What has changed then, surely changing regime hasn't altered?
  3. Lol You really think that Brodie is interested in having a go on The gallops????? Bonus cash of $50 😂 Personally don’t touch gallopers and also $50 bonus cash barely pays for anything, and not even slightly enticing Newmarket. Have a word to them and allow punters on for reasonable amounts and Brodie doesn’t want their Bonus Cash or Bonus Bets!!!
  4. We need to retain and have new owners entering the industry! Without a new generation prepared to shell out big money for monthly training, then harness will be doomed! We need big paying owners as well but they need to be introducing new participants as well! All Punters need to be given a fair go as well!
  5. Fair enough if you are back punting due to Promos and App! Not sure what Promo’s are attracting you and what is positive about the App? Personally not seeing many positives at all for punters or the industry medium term?
  6. Dylan drove for Rogerson tonight! They clearly are now not training in partnership now, for some reason? Wouldnt think Graeme Rogerson would be doing any work in harness but probably retained Dylan for being foreman in charge?
  7. It is a major step back from what we did have! Inaccuracies are everywhere and as for the comments on the horses lol 😂 Entain will not care as they have control now for 25 years and are relying on enough mug punters to offload on there crap races from all around the world! McAnulty should never have signed off on the 25 year deal to Entain, but then again no one in Liebour had any business senses whatsoever!
  8. Na didnt back anything. Liked 2 both got in and both driven by Kyle C. The fields were not great with so few starters and generally odds too short! Looked at one race and the place pool for tote for all of NZ was less than Brodie will offload on a race fixed!! George Elliot was a cert on paper with Trevor not in the cart!
  9. Yep. Hear you on Hope For Love lol Wasnt on her on this past Sunday but she was driven in front, when that doesnt suit her? Thing is some punters know horses better than their drivers😂
  10. Have watched that race and would agree Brent Barclay best move would have been to hook out and go parked! However we all know in all races there are poor drives! What I shake my head at is when a driver is 3 back the fence and travelling well. They decide to come off the fence on the bend and never get a run full of running! The horse 4 back on the fence gets a run up the inside and wins or places a d you are still looking for a run. It happens all the time, and generally from drivers with the low UDR’s as the better drivers will stay the fence if they are only 3 back! Anyway race is over and I doubt Entain will care as they collected off the win punters. Tomorrows fields at Addington Wednesday meeting are disappointing, 7 races and 3 have only 7 starters! Do we need so many meetings in Canterbury at this time of year, as it probably wont improve?
  11. You can tell who are going to be good drivers early on. When interviewed they are fluent and confident in what they say, whereas the nesitant ones with their speech are hesitant with their driving, Carter Dalgety, easily our best Junior at the moment and probably ever, speaks confidently and well and this shows up in his driving! Dexter, Blair, John Dunn, Mark Purdon, Nat Rasmussen, Tony H, Robbie C and there are many others all have a very good UDR, and all good in interviews! It is no coincidence!
  12. Good Time Betty was a good horse on Sunday! Peter must be well into his 80’s?
  13. Agreed, there is no consistency in a lot of what is going on in harness at the mo! Several reinsman every meeting getting warned or fined for being in breach of the stupid whip rule that is currently in place! Personally as a punter think there is bigger issues that the Stipes should be worrying about rather than fining drivers that are trying to actually win the race! As a punter, I have a bigger issue with drivers that deliberately head down to the fence to be 5 back, when they could be 3 back in the running line!!!!!!!! The Stipes should be warning THOSE DRIVERS that are nlt giving their horse much chance than fining and warning those that actually want to win! They currently have it TOTALLY WRONG and to my mind that undermines the integrity more than the blatantly stupid whip rule that needs GONE! It is blatantly obvious obvious why our leading driver’s UDR are so much higher than the other drivers that have low UDR ratings! Their IQ and ability to read a race and the desire to do best by the owner is clear to see. There are too many drivers that go out to collect the driving fee and see what is going to happen in the race, and have no serious intent to actually influence the horses chances of winning! The current rating system that is in play also has a big influence on how serious some trainers and drivers are, and until that is changed there will be inconsistencies!
  14. No comment! For some reason $3.40 on the tote?
  15. Correct, it had been going not too bad,looked a cert to run a place today, in that field! If you watched the last time it ran over the distance at Ashburton in November it was always going to be in the money. It is more of a sprinter than stayer. Peter Yeatman must be a fair age now?
  16. To be fair the harness info is crap as well, so you can not just pick on the gallop’s. The info is already there, dont need those comments that add nothing. The HRNZ site is so much better, and unfortunately the sell out to Entain apart from the increased stake money for a few years is really the only benefit! Love the comments when they say they dont rate the chances and then they open it at short odds fixed !
  17. Fixed odds under top 2 3 4
  18. 10.45 and no fixed odds up at the mo. You couldn’t really be saying that since the Ozzie new web site platform was brought in, things have improved for the better for NZ!
  19. You are lucky, I havent had them up on my Ipad at all! Thing is they put them up and then take them down when they want to! Reality is that they do not give a rats about racing in NZ, we have to accept that, as when McAnulty and Co. signed off on a 25 year deal with Entain, it was going to be the death knell for it! The consequences are massive for everyone in the industry!
  20. Why identify as non-binary? Far more fun being able to chop and change to whatever whenever you want! One of my sons was in a toilet having a pee at interval in the urinal in Melbourne at a show! He turns around and there is a couple of middle aged ladies standing there looking at the men peeing! They said well done, you are doing very well FFS! You can not do anything about it! If you want to identify as a female then you can go and squat in a females toilet if that is your forte. Lol The world is in trouble!
  21. If you google how many genders are there, MedicineNet says another 72 and has the list of them! Very very enlightening!
  22. It did win, but wasnt value st $2.20! There was far better value yesterday!
  23. Did you google to see what the other 72 sexual genders are? Hilarious but many are just sick!
  24. It is just not Cancers that have increased dramatically but not in mainstream media! Blood Clots are rampant now and AstroZeneca have stated that their delightful vaccine is causing them! Graham Court stated that Tower of Love change of performance due to new training location, different food and different training regime?? The horse I believe has been out at Woodend Beach previously which would be a helluva lot better than going round and round on a hard track. Different food, well must have something pretty special if it is better than what Woodend stables have got? Different training regime, what could this possibly be that the experts at Woodend do not know about? The Bookies opened that horse up way too short For what it shouldve been! $2.20 for a horse with duck eggs, first up, standing start, unruly and over sprint!!!
  25. It actually paced rough and galloped after the start in the trial and in a race field and at night, it was a big risk! It was in a quick walk when the tape went! Carter D was a length ahead of everything at the start lol. Best Junior driver NZ has had!
