Being told you are "special" isn't a compliment 

I'm fine without assistance at the moment thanks Brodie, and I don't remember you offering when I did need assistance

 

Lol If you think I am special then that is high praise, Michael!

I  am pleased you are fine Mike, and doing well.

The thing is Gamma that both were suspended solely for wanting to win a race for their connections!!

Munro earns no money for winning and yet wants to do best for the owners and gets suspended for using the whip more than the blatantly stupid rule allows!

Hopefully the Ozzie has some common sense and overturns the crazy current rule as it is diabolically poorly thought out!

I think the whip use thing is crazy as well. But like road rules and speed limits you have to adapt to the changes. Like a New Government Brodster. Whether you like em' or not.

Drivers in Brisbane got a whole range of penalties in the 90's even when I was still going. One bloke got 3 months !! after a few warnings. For 'over-use' of the Whip. It's been an issue for some time.

Opie Bosson won a Group 1 and got fined over there for 12 whip strikes instead of 10 when he won by a nose or something, . what a steaming lot of horse manure. Counting the arm movements. Hope that never happens in trotting. what a crock of sh... that is. horses don't number count someone should tell them 😂 

CJ and MaurieMac and Mango have had issues there too on several occasions. Is hard to adapt to having whip in your rein hand when trying to Win as you say. I couldn't do it at all, But it does suit the Many many female drivers that came into the sport at that stage. so good on em'

Gamma they did have counting the no. Of times a driver used the whip here!

Any more than 10 over the last 400m if I remember correctly ffs.

The current rule is badly thought out in regards  to wrist movement!

The Ozzies use the whip harder and more often than  the Kiwis do.

Hopefully the new Ozzie CEO overturns it to common sense.

But obviously you do as you are fixated on it and you are the sort of person that belittles others as is clearly evident in the majority of your posts.

And your posts, of course, never belittle others or are provocative whatsoever aye Chief?

You're a goose

No whip overuse charges re the ride on Watch Officer in the Kiwifruit Cup back in 1998

Stipes running out of things to do, so lets ask some dumb questions.

CAPTAIN KOBE - when questioned regarding the improved performance trainer S Dolan advised the gelding had appreciated a drop in calibre of horses from recent racing and had trained on well since its last start.

 Finished five lengths from the winner last start after working hard and today beats a much weaker field. Everybody including the public who made the horse a hot favourite could see why it won and it was not an improved performance it went slower today than it did the last start so in actual fact it was a worse performance.

FFS it does not take much to hoodwink the stipes. It was off three wide and working hard from the 1000 and parked for the last 900m today as well. 😂

IDEAL CHEVRON - when questioned regarding the improved performance connections advised the gelding had benefited from an economical run throughout after having to work hard when racing in the parked position at its previous start.

Inconsistencies from the Stipes. Lol.

Colin Defilippi was warned for using the ehip with more than a wrist action!

Colin one of the good guys has been fined and suspended many times fir the same stupid thing and they warned him this time?

Go figure?

Brad Steele, if you want to improve harness racing in NZ, overturn your totally stupid whip rule and put it back to what it was and worked a decade ago!
