You all are dreamers. UDRs tell you nothing, the horses cullen is winning with are poor fields, with only a few runners. The team went average last night. Go back previous years, All Star horses were sitting 3 wide cruising, if people can not see the difference, shows they know little about the game. Will reflect on this post later this year, you can all say I was on the money

Well said, Held To Ransom also adds to puzzle. No secret that that majority of charges over the last few years, come from the same group, from the same area. Coincidence or not?

Totally agree,

TAB need to sort their crappy app out. If you want to view a race, you can not view when iphone is rotated. Sent them an email week or so back, got back yesterday, yes they have problems, are looking into it😆😆😆😆. FFS, get it fixed

Thanks, I have tried googling, youtube etc, still can not find anything. Would be sad if we could never view QE2 races on youtube. If anyone could load a couple, that would be good. Thanks

Can nobody help me? Ta

Hi, My son asks me what racing was like at QE2. I can not seem to find footage of any racing there. Can anyone supply a link please. I am not a real big dog fan, but I used to go a few years back, you could nearly touch the pups! Shorty Bijou my fav, always wide but usually picked them up

Certainly cameras involved.

Lets wait and see

I am pretty sure it was not a performance enhancing drug. HRNZ were hoping to catch all the boys at the beach, not to be. Still will get charged, but HRNZ, they were expecting better.

Yeah, that was a shocking period for harness racing. Looking at a harness annual, there was plenty getting in on the shakes, bloody disgrace.

Ahhh, thats the one

Toss in the milkshake scandal, blue magic, yeah we dont have a problem. Somebody will remember, wasnt some horses disqualified from an inter dom at addington, was it lightning blues year?

You should tell the whole story Noodles, how about this, Trainers licence was suspended for 6 months in 1992 after he presented two horses with prohibitive substances. He was also fined $500 after another horse was found with elavated TC02 levels at the Westport Harness in 2004. Fined $3000 & his son $1500 for instructing employee craig smith to be in possesion of a prohibited substance, ketoprofen at Forbury, 2016. I am sure you could find more, but hey, as you will say, all mistakes 😆😆😆

Lets do the last 30 years, it will be fun that way. This will be a very long thread, will be fun.

Shit stir, you have to be joking. These guys do it all themselves, the lucky ones are those that got caught before google arrived, but the last 20 years, nobody can escape. No doubt you are connected to one of the stables mentioned 🤭. Dont worry, still dodgy owners will support trainers that get charged, that is how this has gone on so long, otherwise trainers would be out of business

They are the worst examples mate, just for starters, Mark Purdon, disqualified for 4 months, fined $15k after admitting administering substance to light and sound! Yeah I know, supporters will say it was only herbalife or some shit, i dont care, still illegal. Maybe you need to google the others,

You must have a very short memory Noodlum, you telling me that all of these guys have not clashed with officials😆. This is the whole point of this thread, you guys forget what trainers have done in the past, that is the reason they keep doing it.

You might be right, but the lull has lasted many years now.

Ok, Ok, I want a list of NZ trainers that have never been charged for anything that results in a disqualification of a horse, licence, or fined, due to one of the many substances we have heard about over the years. It is not about those at the top of the Premiership tables, we know the history of those mentioned. This is all about the guys that have escaped all that, they should take a bow, must be hard to sit back while others gain an edge.

Leif Erikson disqualified 2012, seems trainers said horse eating poppies! Owners not happy,
