    Already details about Andrew Stuart, more than one race in question. Far more to come

    Depends who tells i suppose. Lets put it this way, if a race has been set up, its hardly only a few involved is there. Be a wider group betting, so lets see what info cops have. No doubt they will be looking at betting from all agencies in aus as well, could take a while. Could be the best thing that ever happens to canterbury harness

    I see Brent Wall has appeared in court, pleaded not guilty, as i am sure others will too. Looking into Sportscaster race, 22nd May. The race i posted, which shows driver nearly falling out of cart looking for fav to come around.

    By all reports, it seems Addington figures around same as previous years. Winton up slightly

    Jess, I have heard nothing about the TB man, so Wont comment on that. But as we have seen around the world, many want to win while gambling at all cost. Throw in a truckload of drugs, young mates that think they are bullet proof, and this is what you get. Will be interesting to see who spreads the beans from those arrested. I dont think they should take the brunt of it, tell the truth.

    Dave Mcarthy wrote an article about early nz racing. Saying how the early tote staff closed races late, allowing mates to win money. Also tales of dividends being smaller than what they should be, all types of things.

    Not been to hornby club for years, suppose mainly due to not betting much with tab anymore. What about these 2 pics of tote windows at riccarton & addington. Something about that old tote building at addington, warm summer night, walking to have a bet, then a wee walk back to the track once reons voice kicked in. I love using a device, but that tote was great.

    Good guys both of them, both could have a laugh. I remember the old tab across the road beside park, before moving to richmond club

    Some great tales here of setting up a race, im sure most of us could tell some great stories, But really it just shows how crooked harness is, we have always known some punters, depending on who they were related to, or who their mates were, had an advantage over others when it comes to punting. Should have stopped it years ago, i think its just natural for some in the game to cheat

    Pete Stoop, did he have the richmond club tab before hornby? If so he was lucky, quake put paid to richmond tab

    I would say drugs & race fixing, over 20. Just my view

    Have to interview sometimes before arrested. I would be very surprised if only 11 arrested. Good to see police looking closely on Nelson racing.

    I dont want to do Garrick out of a job, but i have done my own digging. Amazing who has been interviewed, i have names but wont mention, but it is across the board in the harness game. Will say this, they all seem to be mates of mates, relations or tied up in other ways. I suppose this was always going to be a problem for canterbury with such a close knit group.

    Hey Garrick, the news you had, was it the 71yo arrest, or something else. Ta

    Intetesting that the TAB are offering this to new accounts. I wonder who has given the green light for it, never have they been this generous.
  17. Newmarket
    A few of us did ask questions about the 2 staff members, a few did confirm they both got fired.
  18. Newmarket
    Its a small world ?
  19. Newmarket
    Could one of these be the 71 year old arrested? Looks dodgy
  20. Newmarket
    Here is a few 71 year old pics, anyone confirm or deny?
  21. Newmarket
    Deception? Thats interesting, all going to court Tuesday? At least this 71 year old will be able to afford a bus to court, its pension day.
  22. Newmarket
    I think the lady that owned shorty bijou worked tab in rangiora, maybe the pub?
  23. Newmarket
    They way he is going, more will remember him than grey way
  24. Newmarket
    Good question. I remember at the time many people were askng who they were, i even got told off for asking from memory.
  25. Newmarket
    Nice start, but terrible after. Looks like my dream of not working again is at least another week away
