The facts are that the Pfizer toxins were bought by the NZ Labour Party without any checking of the Pfizer Company and its checkered past! If the truth about what the so called vaccine trials showed there would not have been anyone actually get the shit injected into them. What it shows is that people are very easily led without looking into things properly. The truth is that the Pfizer jabs were of no benefit to anyone, in fact millions worldwide are currently having health issues due to the toxins and will in the future. Not going to scare people but the consequences are massive from listening to these incompetents! Here we have all these people saying they got their free jabs for the sake of NZ people and unfortunately it has come out recently saying that the jabs did not stop transmission at all! People who didnt have the jabs were stopped from going many places and doing things because they didnt succumb to the BS! Hopefully those that did get jabbed have learnt alot from this and wont be sucked into being Guinea Pigs for the biggest over reaction to a virus in history and the biggest cost to the planet ever. NZ is going to suffer massively due to our incompetent Ardern’s actions!

The Auckland harness racing is stuffed, no two ways about it! You can put any spin on it but how many were aware just how dire the situation is? Yes they could sell Pukekohe but that is going to see heaps drop out of the industry as there will be no where to train from. Reality is that the racing industry in NZ is going into major headwinds with the huge increase in the cost of living currently, and is only going to get far worse. Brodie has always stated that this lot in control of New Zealand at the moment are the most incompetent bunch of losers we have ever had!! Another year of them and so much more carnage all due to people voting the clowns back in after performing dismally in their first term.

Power Plays are a great initiative by the NZ TAB! However, not as great as you can not invest in them at betting agencies or On Course!!!!!!!! The point is that they want to try new things but they are CONTROL FREAKS!!!! Nothing worth having s crack on tonight apart from some Power Plays and they are not worth the effort when you can only win a pittance on Account!!! Come on NZ TAB your controlling nature is stifling the industry big time.

Blatant BS that continues to plague NZ! What has happened to this country when we have just so many Dickheads making idiotic decisions! They want to kill the livability of the country for its citizens! The Effwits now want us to be crawling around the streets at 30KPH and 60kph on motorways!!!!!!! very interesting that a Pfizer executive has confirmed that the Pfizer Toxins that most people were sucked into getting injected were never proven to stop transmission!! So you Guinea Pigs that think you were doing it to protect others were foolish inded. The problems from the Pfizer injections are continuing to occur.

Would be good if they would let punters on for decent amounts! $30 is not a decent amount! Give them an Option No. and allow punters to bet oncourse and outlets!!

Anyone that can watch a video could see most of what was stated. Why they still bother with having betting on amateur races is hard to fathom. What do they expect from Amateurs, but yet they always get treated like the fulltimers! Pointless even asking Sarah O’reilly the question!! If the Stipes had any professionalism, they would know that Sweet Belle has ability and wasnt a run out of the ordinary!!

Just read the Stipes report from the meeting today at Timaru. Geez I dont think I have read a bigger one ever, mustve taken a while to write it all up lol. A lot of it is a load of rubbish and worthless really! They really are not that flash and many people could do what they do nowadays with bugger all training. An example is that they questioned Sarah O’Reilly on the improved performance from Sweet Belle That finished third! Apart from the stupidity of asking the question, they accepted Sarah’s explanation that the horse had been racing without much luck from bad barrier draws in recent starts!! She also stated the horse had been able to capitalise on an economical run today lol! THE HORSE SAT PARKED OUT FOR THE WHOLE RACE!!! Since when has sitting parked without any cover for the whole race been classed as an ECONOMICAL RUN??????? This lot are not that flash !

Personally think they are shocking fields to be punting on! Too many Allstars around to make it worth the risk or effort! Bring on Timaru, far better betting proposition.

it has now been corrected

Not sure what us going on here? Watching the video the horses to my mind do not look skinny? What does Mr Boyd say about this lot coming on his property and nicking HIS horses? Has there been any Court Case ?

This is what I had last week and the TAB said that they had no problems??? Maybe you have been banned from Punting Ranga?

Yes from watching the replays The Crossing was diabolical. Lets just chuck some loose grass on top of the gravel that should be fine!!!!!!! This has come up regularly on many of our grass tracks and nothing surer it will turn punters off and away from racing! HRNZ are extremely quiet at the moment and I do not believe at all, that betting turnover on harness racing is healthy! Punters are fleeing.

With respect, if the Stipes couldnt determine that the horse galloped over 50 metres in a continuous gallop then they need to go to SpecSavers and they are totally inept! How anyone could have any confidence in this Officialdom is impossible to fathom!, Maybe they should be looking for another career? Shocking decision once again.

Unfortunately it doesn’t take a whole lot of intelligence to be a Stipe nowadays. From what I know it ain’t going to get any better on the future ! Not sure whether a I can say this Chief, but personally think they do a less than average job and are grossly over remunerated.

Consistency and common sense is not a priority nowadays with the judiciary of harness racing unfortunately.

Doesnt put Hamish Hunter’s training ability in a very good light, does it??

It was the last race Galah! Want to get home as it was getting cold! Didnt watch any races live, but have just watched the replay and yes it was going rough many times inside the last 200metres. Yes it did gallop continuously for at least 50 metres and shouldve been ousted but there are dumb rules that HRNZ have adopted so they dont have to do any work! You are correct that because it was an AllStars horse it would be given favours!!

Does no one know the answer?

Seems to me that if someone that only wants 1% share in a horse then they probably wont have over a spare $3k to part with for the initial purchase. To my mind it would be better to be in a syndicate with a horse that is up and running rather than a $340k unproven yearling! Still think for many, syndicates are great for racing for affordabilty and enjoyment.

What is the monthly training bill Mardy going by your %?

Are these options available oncourse and TAB agencies does anyone know? or are they only available online? Why are there no option no.s??????

I notice that the mothly payments dont start until March next year.

What are the trainers charging for training nowadays? There is clearly a huge variance in training costs now and far higher than I was thinking! Stonewall Stud are doing a great job with their syndicates to get potentially new people into ownership so that it is affordable for the syndicate members! However it would seem on the face of it a great money spinner! A current advert seeking new syndicate members for an expensive yearling requires a payment of $3422 for a 1% share, $17,110 for a 5% share therefore valuing the horse at 342,200 so it has to be extremely good to win anywhere near the current value!!! PLUS the monthly payment for training is $36 for a 1% share $180 per month for the 5% share therefore the monthly income for training costs for this yearling is $3,600 or $43,200 per annum whether it is in work or in the paddock spelling! I appreciate people will say that it is giving people the chance to own a good horse but are training costs really $118 per day all inclusive bearing in mind that the horse wont be in work every day? No wonder harness can not attract owners!

No offence Tim but there is absolutely no racism if the majority of people do not want to speak Māori. If you want to speak it then do so with those that wish to speak it. It is a language that has got absolutely no benefit whatsoever for the NZ population and even Maori do not know how to speak it! The BS of having it chucked down our throats by the media is absolutely repugnant and people who want to live their lives are over it! We live in New Zealand and not this other place that you want the name changed to! Call me a rascist if you want to cos that is what you do, but I am speaking for the silent NZ majority.

What HRNZ and the TAB are doing is not working if they want a financially viable harness racing industry. Things are pretty tight out there for most people but they don’t seem to want to improve things! What happened to the brainstorming initiatives that were discussed? They can bury their heads in the sand and think they are great but it will be to the harness racing detriment. They need people to want to go on course so that they become addicted and then be punters and they won’t do this on a Thursday or Friday night which are work nights for most. Saturday nights are what the metro tracks should be racing to get people a greater chance to have a night out. It was a huge backward step when they decided to race Thursday Friday rather than Friday Saturday! From what I am seeing, the industry the way it is currently being run,is on a downward spiral that needs fixing. When the Trackside announcer says from the Bookies desk that $200 fixed bet is an amount worth mentioning then they are pretty deluded. Seriously the TAB needs to be encouraging wagering and get the turnover growing rather than stifling it with their pathetic restrictions on punters including the pedantic $1k anti money laundering limit. Nothing to do with AML the Clowns just want control like someone else we know!!
