the galah Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Well done for supporting prostate cancer,but to have so many drivers in the same race in the same colours is dumb and confusing. Some even have the same colour hats.I don't need a commentator to recognise the colours,drivers and horses,but i am finding i have to constantly stop,pause,rewind and replay the videos of races i am reviewing. When the races are run in real time,and you take multiple combinations and therefore don't always focus on a particular horse, it becomes a real headache. Also at the start of say a 16 horse stand you can't be sure which one your watching until they settle into their positions. Imagine if your a casual racegoer ,you would be even more confused. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have the blinds pulled down whilst watching replays 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the galah Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 Well in some races yesterday they had 4 drivers with the same colours. Theres 7 leading drivers in the south island wearing the same colours and whats to say they all won't drive in the same race. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually another thing I do is look for horse gear on horsey or maybe also if horsey has a certain way of running. You know who I observed that Alley Mae ran like wobble kind of, & speedy spur stuck neck out & then Lous some with a blaze. Yeah the colour thing really doesn't effect me much. I don't even know many of the trainers colours in South anyway, so have to look for other things. Some drivers too actually, can recognise just from way they sit in sulky. Noted Dunn in 1 race was starting to get the lean back thing going on yesterday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karrotsisback Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 You don't personal attack Galahs. You are 1 that Im fine with debating even from other sides of debate, due to this reason. There def are others that launch a personal attack, e.g. metal health karrots, or botox karrots, or idiot Galah, or clown Galah or troll Galah or paranoid Karrots or watch out for CCP Karrots, or Jaffas, or whatever laughing its funny actually isn't it. These are personal attacks & shift from the topic subject at hand. From topic to being about poster. Im about to launch into a debate with Ranga, yet I just liked a post on a different thread of Rangas. So not getting all personal with the poster. Sometimes we agree on things & other times we don't. Big deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Blue colours for you to worry about @the galah!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the galah Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 Banks peninsula have just announced an all male race at their up coming meeting,with the intention of highlighting this cause. They will have 6 of the 10 driver ambassadors competing,but have shown good sense to have only the 1 in the blue colours,and another in the white prostate colours. The rest will wear the trainers colours. This is a good promotion,and well thought out by those who have arranged it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to be open to Mares. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
