  1. Lord Module, he always looked the goods didn’t he. Great pic.
  2. Maybe he did time trial at some stage, but as you say, is a pacemaker outside which I didn’t really look at first.
  3. Paleface Adios great looking horse, with as you say, long mane.
  4. Maoris idol I don’t remember, probably about 1980 I started following the game. Its crazy to say, but I kind of thought it was exciting listening to those aus races on the radio at some crazy hour. Usually a little late, so just had to listen to Barney, first time caller from wairarapa on radio pacific just that little longer. Remember the times listening to a race on a sat arvo, only for the news to interrupt commentary ??
  5. You may be right. Loved the battles of the 2 above horses, with Pure Steel. Trying to listen on the radio, mainly inter dom time. Could say Aussie clearly had the edge on nz around this time for pacers, maybe 50/50 trotters. The last few years, nz seemed to have the edge, good to see.
  6. Popular Alm. Check out the record time in 1981. Amazing how faster the breed has progressed in the past 40 years.
  7. Mind you, now that I have posted picture, maybe no numbers on horses, bit hard to see. Workout??
  8. Ok, somebody help. Below is a picture of Gammalite, now I see it’s at Addington, but I do not think it ever won race there. Could it be cup trial?
  9. Agree, let’s hope they keep going.
  10. Next time I’m up there, will pop in to see you.
  11. A huge run, also had no luck at Auckland last Friday when leader ran wide, forcing Enghien wide, while winner had dream run on inner to win. Monbet had had a few luckless runs also as a young horse, this one could follow same path. Hopes doing great job with the trotters
  12. Looking at this post, Brodie might be here sooner rather than later. I like this part the best..... I don’t like arrogant know all’s!!! ????. That’s him and his mate to a tee!! Its a poor response from an owner of a site, very unprofessional indeed.
  13. Yes, some are a protected species, that’s for sure. As for Brodie, never had an issue with him. But, I suppose he did sort of rate himself, and maybe hearing each week that the tab wouldn’t take his bets, was a little tiresome. But yeah, hope he starts posting here, we need everyone. Maybe Iraklis, we need his excitement & enthusiasm ?
  14. Your close mate, just looked up on HRNZ, Globe Pride was a goodie. What a mare Ann’s Pride was, left these great trotters. Ray certainly had a great run in the 80s & 90s
  15. He had a few, Tobago & Trinidad the best? These 2 spring to mind, but maybe there were others better. Great that some trainers have a real knack with the trotters
  16. He has emailed me a few times with tips, maybe he might come on board here! But yes, be good to see other posters tips.
  17. Great to see him win a couple today. A few weeks back, poster on another site (Portfolio), mentioned to keep an eye on Rays first starters, one run his 2nd race at good odds today. In fact, Porty was pretty good at topping them, sadly got banned for posting tips on wrong area???? Makes you wonder, anyway, let’s tip a few each week on the harness section, it seems the boss here will let us do our own thing within reason, but for once this may be a great opportunity to have a real great harness section. In the past we were always treated like a 2nd rate code.
  18. Do you think this guy had anything to do with it? Did anyone remember seeing this cup on course? Any further info, call Mike at RIU, and spill the beans ?
  19. He rode it well, pity she didn’t zoom home and win, what a great story that would have been.
  20. Hi All, A few years ago, TAB was going to place those self service machines in supermarkets, clubs, all over the show? What happened? I get it, most do punting on devices, I do the same, but at large malls etc, why not have one with lotto outlet. Totally agree with Flag, overseas operators make it easy to deposit & withdraw, tab make it as hard as possible to withdraw, halve the time they have no cash? Pretty poor
  21. I’m here to support Hesi, should be a heap of others lining up that have been excluded from other site. Everything seems to work well, Admin2 certainly knows his stuff, both other sites having major issues. Maybe this should be called -The Premier Site
