Michael Guerin

[Forbury]

Michael Guerin only talks dribble and tips short price losers.

There is a way for punters to back both at a 50 per cent profit should one win, with Hadron Collider boosted to $3 for the Box Seat Boost (under futures on TAB website) while Trump Card is $3.20.

Put $10 on both and you spent $20 for a return of $30 or $32. It isn’t everybody’s cup of tea but the sort of thing professional punters do to make money. Yes that's what they do to win $10 and being to access promotion.tipping punters a 1.5 play that's Mick gurien all over and now they have Brittany Graham in competition who can tip the most short price losers 😂😂😂

The beauty of betting if you can get money on, is the fact if you do your homework you can make money!

Why listen to anyone's tipping on Trackside TV?

they aren't there to give you winners, they are there to bring in the small time punter that can not pick their own!

Part of the challenge is to pick you own winners, otherwise you are guaranteed to lose money!

Brittany Graham is definitely showing she's a special talent and definitely knows what she's dribbling about she well and truly has set the standard for Michael gurien to beat by tipping 4 short price favourites over the weekend all unplaced now that's a special talent 😂🤣😂🤣😂

[Nowornever]

Ever notice how racing presenters will rattle off comments about half the field before a race? Then when one of those seven wins, suddenly it was a “great pick” and they talk it up like it was nailed from the jump.

Made for TV,  just a wide net cast so they can claim success no matter what happens.

It’s especially entertaining when a horse they didn’t mention storms home. You can almost see the panic set in. Cue the scrambling and excuses… Whale is the classic example. He’ll have a full post-race script ready for the ones he tipped — but nothing prepared for the actual winner.

It’s great theatre, but let’s not pretend it’s great tipping.

I may be wrong, but i might be picking up that your not a fan of her tipping forbury. 

actually,from my observations of what she says, i think her tipping started off a bit average,but as shes getting to know the form, shes going to be a good tipster.What i particularly like about her presenting is her not having pre conceived focus on how great certain people or stables are. She gives credit where credit is due and treats everyone the same,before and after a race.

i did laugh one week though when i was watching her tip out tu tangata and the reaction of the likes of greg o'connnor and matt cross.it was like,brittany,we've been there,done that ourselves.Lets be honest,nearly every punter has probably backed tu tangata at some stage and thought, it just has to be driven better and it will win next time,only to realise, tomorrow never comes.

Seen her doing that pre-race wander on the track here for many years. usually B -lined straight to Luke McCarthy or Grant Dixon of Greg Sugars in each state,  nearly all the time as they always in the main chances every race. would be harder for her to pick someone there to do that with as drivers a bit more mixed  😂.

Tu Tangata can trot a bit. I see it beat home all of OscarB , Mighty Logan and One Over All in the Rowe Cup recently , but a bit like Midnight Dash ( who has just one win in past 3 years 🙄) gets blown away by the star ones all the time. Both those horse would win them in a row in Brisbane . very hard there for them though. 

We did get some more Trotters NZ exports recently to Brisvegas  . the fast class trot yesterday at Albion saw  Eurokash 2nd on debut, Five Oclock Gerry 3rd and Taylad To Use (as hot fav ) was 4th on debut. some local beat the 3 of them this week,  but they'll be winning soon enough.  Monarch Hill from Herlihy's took a few runs but won at start 7.  Guess not long till not enough left to race there in NZ in fast class trots ?  they won't have em?

Personally, I find it unnecessary to have anyone with a microphone before or after a race on the track, and if  I was getting ready for a race I'd tell her or anyone else to piss off , you have days before and after for interviews.

tu tangata has had 1 win in its last 50 starts.

I just looked at his recent starts as far as faovoritism goes and hes been win favorite 5 times in his last 15 starts but never won as favorite..

he has at times been unlucky,but on those occassions its looked like poor tactical driving decisions,but the more you watch him the more you realise he just lacks a bit of high speeed and that would make tactical moves a bit harder in races.

he would be a nice horse to own as he pays his way for sure,but i would  be surprised if he did that well in queensland.

because he runs in the first 4 a lot,he has taken a while to drop back into a grade where he can win here.

No doubt a few of the drivers are concentrating hard , and have to worry about the next few minutes without the added pressure Mikey . I don't care much for the banter she tries to get out of them at the start. 

The drivers she did speak to here pre-race, were always astoundingly polite though. Grant Dixon, Greg Sugars, Cam Hart ,Luke McCarthy ,etc. I guess they go around so many times in big races they are so relaxed as if chatting to you at the dinner table . Is quite remarkable. NZ drivers polite too. Tony Herlihy for example, is charm personified .

Think Brittany would be better to do what they do here all the time on the gallops TV station, and just arrange to chat with a TRAINER pre-race , who is lining up on the side-line to watch the race , and not bother the drivers at all. They have more interesting things to say than the jockey/ driver as well , as know the horses progress and program , can give the owners and sponsors a plug and all sorts of things.

I remember Salish Abernethy telling Michael Guerin that he didn't do TV interviews one night after winning a big race at Auckland.

Guerin came on TV and said it was unprofessional and he looked a bit put off by it all.

i quite like  hearing the drivers just before the start  as it can give an indication of whether they are going forward or back at the start,which sometimes influences who you pick sometimes.

i've noticed nearly all drivers say their horses have warmed up good when asked how they feel. But thats also good to know.

personally id prefer if they spook to a wide variety of drivers than just the same ones,irrespective of whether the drivers speak well or not.

the only issue i have with those pre race interviews is you feel sorry for the presenters who do it at night when its really cold.
