Happy Sunrise Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Mark Jones goes 'full Brodie' (just joking Brodster) on the handicapper in his discussion of Burnham Boy's race tomorrow. HRNZ don't reply to his emails about it which is no surprise I suppose given what goes on there. Best bit starts around off at 2.25 and he has another flick at the handicapper near the end too. A number of good chances this week. And Mark is not happy with the handicapping! MARK JONES HARNESS RACING https:// Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodie Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) Happy, nothing at all at doing a “Broderism” rant! Mark Jones has never really been backward in expressing his opinion, and that is great! Problem with harness racing at the moment is that there are some real muppets making financial and other decisions that has totally set harness on a path of oblivion unfortunately! From the NZ TAB and HRNZ there are some really bad calls and it is showing and there Is plenty of discontent now coming out as livelihoods are bring severely hampered. They need to hear and take notice of people that know what they are talking about like Mark Jones and Brodie. Mark has a fair point in regards to the handicapping if his horse at Invers! HRNZ it is a disgrace that you have not replied to Mark Jones but then again the CEO Is only part time at best!

retarded driver Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 It's time to bombard hrnz with complaints about the handicapped system.its been nothing but a total disaster since the rating system started.i congratulate Mark Jones for being one of the most honest best trainers and giving great assessment of his runners most of the time which is great for the sport and punters.mark Jones is a leading light. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I'm just going to leave this here... and see what happens. By about 3.40pm we should find out. I've lost count on how many times I've heard a trainer/owner/driver/jockey bag the handicapper pre-race, and then subsequently their horse has gone out and ended up winning the race. Happens in both codes. I'm not saying I disagree with their comments (or even the comments made by Mark Jones), as usually I'm in agreeance with them (anti-handicapper), but it's just an observation, that often the horse will run really well, if not win. I am a fan of Mark Jones and his team, especially Burnham Boy, so I hope he goes out there and brains them, to steal Davey Macs phrase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honestjohn Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Hrnz are nil at the best of times. Stems from rennells arrogance and laziness. I guess it just continues with the new broom that doesn't sweep. Don't expect any answers. I heard one trainer had his licence cancelled because he criticised them openly in the media?

Happy Sunrise Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 Mark Jones' comments scared me on this video after I backed Don't Lie To Me at $3. Thought I had done my dough with his summation but she won well. Bet the others who bought it down to $2.60 would have felt the same if they had heard it. Makes La Rosa and a few of his others this weekend good bets in comparison since he liked them. Are trainers good punters? 😲 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both all stars runners could win that leg with la rosa no good thing, smallish field but the draws make it interesting and natbag on riverred helps, ist leg love the size of stephs boy against the other 3 allstars, but more even than might appear Leaves a nice (as good as it gets at the moment quaddie if regal attire fails?) Breckon bloodstock Always deserve their wins! tieing Megera to the clothesline till mark could take him home after the sales really speaks volumes about their investment in the game! Great supporters and sponsors! Always like to see their colours lead into the birdcage, the hydro fillies series and the` Megera` and `Kates first` battle royales were exciting! Just need a roughie in regals race, people like steel dust? why? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
