  1. Hey Mr House. Just wondering how you have turned form around on this horse. Hardly keep up a few months ago, now 2 wins finishing like Lord Module?? Please post a few pointers for other trainers that are struggling to win
  2. Good to see him train 500 winners today, in fact 501 couple of hours later. What a top trotter Sundon was, and great as a sire for many years. One of my favs was Royden Glenn, after falling heavily in the derby, came back a few months later and strung the wins together. Pity he was a luckless 3rd in nz cup, Preux Chev kicked his butt show day, but great to see him turn tables last nite. Good on you Fred, copped a bit for his driving style, but trained some top horses.
  3. Just looking at Sure Courts record, had over 3 years off, come back as a 9yo and competed with the best. Anyone know why the time off, injury or had a foal?
  4. Good to see the battling mate Sure Court finishing 3rd, tried her heart out that horse, beat home 3 good ones behind her
  5. I have no issue with them racing today, sadly a couple I had a buck on, couldn’t go in the conditions
  6. I know that many that live in Dunedin will miss Forbury. But to the punters living elsewhere, it is not much of a loss. The class of fields that race there recently have been terrible. To think once they had open class pacers and trotters racing there, nowadays it’s a disgrace. Also had big 4yo race, now just low class nags, mainly raced by hobby trainers and drivers,
  7. That trotter he drove, when he thought he won🤭🤭. Castleton Mission? Holdonmyheart ?
  8. Gee Chief, relax dude. You need to keep posters, not get rid of them. Especially Pitty, we need trainers input
  9. Is this surprising? Look at what he is racing, all going around for low stakes. Get rid of them, get a couple into good races. I did see his galloper win midweek. Harry Mouse has never been taken to serious
  10. Hey Hunter, those young ones not running too quick,
  11. I have taken a few, if you back a lot of longshots, that you think are overs, it is worth it. Sadly, the tabs fixed odds are usually so poor, it puts me off taking them. And they are smart since the top 4 came in, you look, even if the fixed win bet is over odds, the tab has a very low fixed odds place price, so the top 4 bet is unders, be wary
  12. What has happened to that track. Nothing came from the back, except that huge odds winner. Even horses fading from trail? Have they put drawing pins on track
  13. Needs juice to win, get it to another trainer . Just a plodder for mine
  14. What a fizzer
  15. He was saving it for this week
  16. Well, horse not good enough tonight, driver had the trail! Help up a little around turn, but only battled
  17. This nag is going very well, different driver and I would be unloading, can beat the fav. Only hurdle, driver. Will have a small dabble and cross my fingers.
  18. Yes I am gonna complain, they are not doing enough.
  19. Thought track looked good. My problem is the mentality of the jockeys, 5 wide??? FFS, this is why nz racing crap
  20. 😆😆😆, yep nearly got beaten by Laver 😂
  21. What do you think, did Derek Balle give this horse a chance to pay a divvie in the straight? Very quiet drive indeed
  22. Can somebody tell Mr Drake, that the horse needs to be driven positive to win. No good settling last and running on each week, or being unlucky. Feel for connections, give a better driver a go, maybe Luk Chin or Alan Clark🤭
  23. Red hot fav just got beaten sitting park. 2 years ago, their horses could sit 3 wide and piss in.
  24. Not sure you follow the harness game much, but this thread will be interesting to look back on. You do know that Self Assured, Spankem and Amazing Dream have banked the majority of dollars. The lack of top quality youngsters, will cause concern for the stable, once Amazing Dream goes, other 2 retire, i am thinking a tough time ahead, stable will not dominate the same as in previous years
