Taupiri Wonder Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Manawatu Club Officials & TAB will be hoping Cyclone Gabrielle doesn't effect Cook Strait Sailings during next few days! Meeting next Tuesday Feb 14th sees a 7 Race Card with 60 Horses Entered. And Michael House has 24 Horses,Yes that's 40 percent of Starters.Imagine the fields if all scratched!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has destroyed any semblance or credit of/for good training when this bloke is the nations leading Trainer. (number of winners) Sometimes has the whole field of pacers running. cast-offs from other states. just trained out of the paddock. probably lucky to get a feed. the stewards/vets must cry the amount of horses they have to examine after each race. Last night at Burnie in Tasmania , where they go very slow anyway..... he had TEN (10) horses given 'Last Chance to Race Truly " warnings or ordered to trial for unsatisfactory performance !!😩 couldn't even keep up a lap out some of them. 😩 a world record for poorness? Surely nobody bets on those Tasmanian races ? how do they keep going I don't know...... and is a total Disgrace for harness Racing in Oz. 10 uncompetitive at one meeting.... shameful.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taupiri Wonder Posted February 11, 2023 Author Share Posted February 11, 2023 Agree Gamma.To describe the quality of Ben Yole's Tasmania Stable as mediocre would be too flattering. Your Aussie Cobber Peter Profit (love or hate him) certainly paints an ugly picture of his character! Is there not a local branch of SPCA there!The fate of those that fail 'last chance to race' seems appalling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
