Lol the horse had a run up start, not s STAND!

To be fair your name gives it away! For you, I would say NEVER!

Lol Well done to Don Burrows, Cross Dresser! He had the horse in a trot before the start and it worked for him! Just shows the amateurs can be better than the professionals!

Silver Linings is off to Oamaru Sunday! The trainer Don Burrows has drawn the short straw and is going to be sitting in the cart! The TAB should be opening a book on will Silver Linings 1. Swing around at the start 2. Break hopelessly and gallop for 200 metres 3. Stand on the mark and refused to go 4. Trot away and then break 5. Trot for most of the race and then gallop 6. Trot the whole way lol lol lol Worth a go isnt it?

Yep everyone knows how I feel about mile races and yes absolute clowns running that race over a mile at Addington! Dont bet overseas apart from Oz trots when I sort one out but never get much on! The Tab NZ have this Top 4 and yet you can not get anymore than a pittance on it on your account. No agency or course betting so what is the point? Bring back the head to heads NZ TAB when there is no decent fixed odds divs

LOL I totally agree with you in regards to the hopeless odds on offer at Addington as well! I didnt want to say that as well as Auckland as people would think I was trying to kill the sport! But yes, really I only saw one horse I thought was worth a go and that has been slashed so going to be a very quiet night on the punt! Anyway I am sure someone will come on and say they are great punting fields as many do like backing the shorties !

Looked at the Fixed Odds and seriously nothing worth having a crack at the way I invest! To be fair you couldnt really expect too much due to the fields but it really is showing that racing in the North is on life support! Michael Guerin and Craig Thompson can come out and say dont be so negative, but even the most optimistic person couldnt possibly put a positive spin on it!!

LongOwner, how long is going to be though? It has been propped up for awhile wouldnt you say? Also, without owners and punters unfortunately you havent got harness racing!!

Luv the challenge, but no never go off early Gamma!

What is worse is when you sort out a certain place getter and it does not place!!!!! They run the race so slow and the driver just sits to the straight and gives it no show! Is that not driving your horse to not give it every chance of winning?

Auckland need to be given a dose of realism!! They are a drain on harness racing in NZ and time they paid their way! The apartment developing was a rank failure and yet the rest of NZ has to pay!!!

“No driver in any race shall drive in any manner capable diminishing the chances of his horse winning” Firstly, does this not include FEMALE DRIVERS???? Secondly, it is a load of BS, you could go to most races and you will see drivers that drive their horse incompetently and diminishing their horses winning chances!!!!!

Let’s just see how much is wagered at Auckland compared to Addington! The tote odds at Auckland will be pathetic and why would,you bother! Fixed would be better if you want to buy it! Addington will attract far more!

55 horses over 8 races is average 7 per race! Total stakes for the 8 races is $389k, So the horses lining up are going to take home on average over $7k per horse! How on earth is the industry able to support this???? Punting wise it is an absolute flop and without wagering then they will fall on their sword surely?

It gets worse, no idea how Auckland can possibly get out of this predicament? Lights out!

Lightworkofit was a Pig as well ! Common denominator!

Lol Fire Fox 1.49.6 LOL LOL It just shows how stupid racing over a mike is now doesnt it? Fire Fox was a reasonable horse but obviously the 1609m suits it just like alot of kiwi exports! If it can run under 1.50 over there just imagine how quick some of our other horses would go over the sprint? Kiwi horses overall are just so much better than the Ozzies, it is shown time and time again.

Don Burrows had another grey trotter a few years ago that was probably even moodier than this one! It did win a few races and had ability but did the same things including standing on the mark and not moving! Think Dexter Dunn used to drive it as well as Don Burrows! I suppose if you are silly enough to back it then you take the risk knowing it is a PIG!!

Yeah dont you just hate it when someone posts something on BOAY harness forum that is not about harness racing?? Of course it is a harness forum but that doesnt mean that harness racing is the only thing worth talking about from harness posters surely? Personally dont touch the gallops or dogs but if a regular harness poster wants to tip out a galloping winner then that must be ok surely?

Na I didnt Davis. Was at the Freedom March 😷

Not a great night at the office for young Carter Dalgety driving in Auckland! A hard track for a young fellah first up there as they go the wrong way around!! Sarah O’Reilly improved dramatically from early on and is a very good junior driver without doubt! Personally think Carter Dalgety is an extremely promising and talented Junior and so he should be with his pedigree and who he has been around! Appears to be very grounded and has been excellent when in the media! He will win a helluva lot of races as he will get on better horses probably than Sarah O’Reilly. It is good that we do have some very good Juniors in the Canterbury area as the North Island are very short on Juniors full stop!

Won’t be mine Ranga!

Na, not a trotter. It has been going good races and looks a great place option, only worry is the change of driver! Gets a good run and will place at reasonable odds! Not a great night of punting especially Auckland! On these nights where punting is poor shy on earth dont the Bookies bring back the “Head to Heads”? I reckon it is because they havent got the ability, but maybe they will prove us wrong, and take up the challenge??

With respect Chief, I am on point! People I am talking to now are coming around to what Brodie has been saying! The jabbed are the ones getting the virus and passing it on! The unjabbed are the ones who are not! Heard of many Boostered recently that are getting it worse than the 2 shot ones, and they will continue to catch things as they are immune compromised unfortunately. Off to the TAB can see a collect for tonight!

Sundons Flyer is racing second rate trotters down south mostly. Yes she is well past her best but still tries very hard week in and week out! However she goes her best races when having cover and always stops when in front! Jessica Young-Grant always gave the mare cover and normally came with the last run.
