  1. Yeah, look the guys not my fav driver also, but those comments are harsh. Maybe Ben will follow in his dads footsteps, maybe he will turn out to be a better trainer than driver. He is still learning, but needs to sit and wait a bit more, he should have beaten fast n furious with a more patient drive. But who knows, once he controls his excitement in races, and starts looking ahead more than behind, he could turn out to be a good driver. I thought John Morrison was not the best early on, he is turning out to be a very good driver, now trainer. Hope Ben improves too, we all have the right to an opinion, but lets not be too harsh, they are the future of harness.
  2. Raced erratic in straight, despite a couple of no nonsense slaps half way down, looked likely 200m out, just battled for 4th. Still, at least it trotted, good one Brodes
  3. 800m to go, still getting good run.
  4. One lap to go, still in trail👍
  5. OMG, it began, Brodie is in the trail!!
  6. I think they all got on the first day cricket at Christchurch recently, first day of test. From what i remember, TAB had odds at around $3 odd for 3 wickets to be taken first day, instead of the first session. All the boys got on, all over fb, tab caught wind of it, refunded all bets. Its pretty stink, but they do state they can cancel bets when it suits, sadly the poor old punters do not have this luxury.
  7. Speaking of galloping bro, is Michelle likely to today?
  8. Did the TAB have options for running last 🥴
  9. Maybe Trainer told owner it needs time?
  10. Where has he gone? And Brodie, he has a drive in the next race Nelson. Will he be singing, Michelle my belle, why did you gallop again
  11. Agree, next few weeks will be interesting. Owners wont want horses getting beaten, pressure will be on Hayden. I see a few good ones going to Aus soon, which is surprising. With the covid situation, they wont come back.
  12. Oh dear, Craig Grylls on fire today. Its a real kiss of death when the TAB pick the Hot Jock😆😆
  13. Was always going to be same colours. Then when the dust settles, Hayden gives reigns back to Mark & Nat, then we are back to where we once was.
  14. Forgot Cran is also a doctor.
  15. ????? He sees an opening? For a moment, thought you were serious.
  16. But he stepped back, then his Mrs was in partnership with nathan. Then he left, now cran back in charge??? WTF
  17. Was quite bizarre? Usually those in harness racing give their licences up when they are being charged for something? What has happened here?
  18. Just to add, Bonus Bets? Seems the TAB are still offering them, not as much as 6 months ago, but still offering. I know from my betting, sometimes they do get money from me with their double up bonus bets, or bonus back for 2nd, 3rd & 4th. But it is only a couple of races each day. Compare that to Sportsbet today, they offer bonus bets back on every race to run 2nd & 3rd, at the 3 main meetings? You know where my aussie money is going
  19. Never saw the ad on TV, or maybe i blanked it out. Can anyone post it please?
  20. Craig Grylls turn today for hot jocks. Just look at those fixed odds prices on his runners, what a disgrace. Well unders on all of his runners. How does the NZ Tab get away with it? Other operators give specials on horses, but never screw the punter like the nz tab do. Just makes me not want to bet today on principle.
  21. Yep, your right.
  22. Oppie Bosson hot jock today. Rode some favs, but gone like crap. Odds were terrible too
  23. I suppose it was their last nite, so they made the most of it. The funny race was Aladins , seems the All Star drivers were all a little confused early in race, forgetting who was supposed to win, so changing positions several times. Cup was what expected, they all wanted to be on the rails, so set up all of their runners. This will be the last time we see this, thankfully it will be more fair racing from now on. Yay, must make other owners & trainers smile
