Richie Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I see another more in depth article about Mitchell just released.He really only a con man and deserves to never be given a licence again. Using gambling addiction as his excuse is no excuse for ripping off mates 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using gambling addiction as his excuse is no excuse for ripping off mates Should be given life from harness racing. And probably can expect some time as well from out court system. Although most of the article wasn't new to me. The most telling bit was when Varcoe said that the family asked him not to do anything about it! Doing nothing in the past is why he got to where he is now. Mitch has been getting bailed out since his NI days. I wonder how the klueless one is this morning. Must be a very dark cloud hanging over that place! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KickintheKods Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) I'll betcha $1000 to $1 that he attends Gamblers Anon before his court hearing to try and impress the beak. C'mon Kenny give us a song Altogether now, one two three...... On a warm summer's eveningOn a train bound for nowhereI met up with the gamblerWe were both too tired to sleepSo we took turns a-starin'Out the window at the darknessThe boredom overtook usAnd he began to speak He said, "Son, I've made a lifeOut of readin' people's facesKnowin' what the cards wereBy the way they held their eyesSo if you don't mind my sayin'I can see you're out of acesFor a taste of your whiskeyI'll give you some advice" So I handed him my bottleAnd he drank down my last swallowThen he bummed a cigaretteAnd asked me for a lightAnd the night got deathly quietAnd his face lost all expressionSaid, "If you're gonna play the game, boyYou gotta learn to play it right You've got to know when to hold 'emKnow when to fold 'emKnow when to walk away and NOT RIP OFF YOUR MATES YOU SCUM.

But he was too successful. He put thousands on his carefully chosen value runners. His bank account was overflowing with winnings from his bets. He never lost. He cleaned the TAB out regularly until the TAB said "no more" and banned The Brodster from placing any large bets. Today, he is bitter and angry about this unfair treatment but he still loves harness racing. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newmarket Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Good that this reporter has posted this info, otherwise it would have continued. Harness people are good at covering up shit, luckily some owners spoke up. It is hard to feel sorry, been going on for years, if he was serious, he would have stopped way before now, makes his dad look poor as well, only a few weeks back he was saying nothing was wrong?

Brodie Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) All Brodie asks for is that punters are treated fairly! I have often not been able to get anymore than $40 on and yet last night the NZ TAB took a bet of $10,000! How on earth is this fair??

Karrots Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 100% agree, this needed to be presented & exposed. How many bad apples (trainers) would you say there are/were in industry 2020? Lets just say for argument sake there were 1/2 a dozen or a dozen. Counted approx 443 trainers 2020. Of bad apples based on argument sake that would be 1.35% if 6 & with 12 be 2.7% Wonder what percentage the general public would guessimate that percentage as being … 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's usually on the money. I am the same. I don't tell "porkies" when it comes to harness racing. I love the sport. I don't think it has a future but I until it dies I will support it.

Costs, falling public interest, animal rights. I think the last one will hit hardest. I think it won't be long before racing animals will be frowned upon and banned.

I think you over estimate the power of animal activists.When I was a kid we used to follow the rodeo circuit as my uncle used to ride in the 70s when it was first starting out.Even back then there were probably more activists against rodeo than there is now .The key to surviving is to make subtle changes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
