What a joke - runs into two horses that were galloping - no they didn't break just in front of him but he still found them lol. The good thing about his driving is that you can get overs betting against him.

TAB were saying they took 2 $10,000 bets @ $1.40 on Telfers - down to $1.15 now

25 mins before 1st race they finally listed These aussie shit races close in 4 hours - I can see the urgency in putting these up first - this is where the punters want to invest A farking joke

An hour out from 1st at Ashvegas and no driver's challenge - pathetic But they have 2 galloping meetings from outback aussie and 2 aussie dog meetings - who cares about these - seriously

Two more today - Bar Louie couldn't get around without breaking up north - send them all to the South Island

That was the unknown for me - nothing on the website about dates after July. But I figured that as Telfers sent a few down to the last meeting there that they would do the same. Surely Josh Dickie can't screw up all of them - he seems to send most of them into a gallop

Now I am hoping Telfers win as in taking insurance @$5 $4.50 and $4 I get a bigger result with them winning

Yes I realize that but that is preaching to the converted - these other issues are what are turning people away - these are the issues that they should be looking at

All about what websites you use to view harness racing. How about asking the Hard Questions Standing starts Horses being driven for next weeks race Weak stipes Team driving Drivers half carting in almost every race Unfair handicapping system Loss of owners and breeders Handouts to ATC and I have only scratched the surface

Watch his drive on Brewster Baker yesterday - his hemorrhoids playing up again from the 400 and horse flies to bits

I agree totally - seen so many horses butchered and never came back to their full potential. Wag Star - Mark Hurrel at Addington twice - looked like a top liner - now battling Muscle Mountain - Ben Hope Rowe Cup - never been the same since that butchery Always Dreaming - Nathan Williamson - lost close to 200m and yet won - never been the same since Very Majestic - Reilly Harrison - must have been 200m of the leader at one stage at Addington - chased to run 2nd or 3rd - has no zip now Does this mean they are all awful drivers - they certainly didn't see what future affect it would have on their horses

At least Auckland has almost all mobile starts (trot races excluded) The standing starts down at Addington are shockers and I refuse to bet on any race Donkey Donnelly has anything to do with. Just watched race 3 Addington and the horse drawn unruly 2 was in a full trot at the start and straight to the lead. How many of his starts have horses late scratched because of the shambles. Why isn't he fined for incompetence the same as trainer and drivers are - or is it the "Old Boys Club"?

Greasy Bob drove Young Quinn as a 2 year old and early 3 year old

The dates for the rest of the year only go to the end of July which is a bit outdated as the season changed a year or 2 ago. I presume Manawatu will continue after winter but I am only guessing - even so Micky has probably won more at Addington than anyone else so far this season. I have looked at insurance but who would you take? Telfers breakup most of the time and apart from Tim their drivers are sub-standard and Dunns team have mostly reached their mark. Jones having a great trot and Purdon lurking but probably don't have the numbers.

Well can't claim that it was a great drive - 6 wide around last bend - but not much could be done about it - bit of carnage happening midfield

John Dunn always looks like he has a bad case of piles the way he jerks around in the cart

- I am not trying to pick holes in your comments (I like your input into the various discussions) - I was more getting into that clown who lost $2 on one of Blairs drives

Examples please - Mark still sticking with him - didn't see much wrong with race 2 drive today - but I (and most people involved in the game) must be missing something

Wow do you really think this reflects a driver's ability - who is A Russell? I wonder why Clint Ford and David McCormick are getting full books. Do you know that to get a true reflection on UDR you need to have a certain number of drives. But who am I to judge - but I do respect the top trainers who put Blair on rather than some keyboard warrior that lost $2 betting on a horse Blair drove

How about checking facts before posting garbage?

I thought it strange and unfair that Wilson House wasn't included in the Driver's Prem betting option As he wasn't listed I assumed that he would be at longer odds than those listed and thought he could be worth a punt if he was a $40 and Blair got injured. So I rang the TAB and got some foreign speaking dude who was going to ask his supervisor He got back to me saying that Wilson would be added to the list and he just had to check that he had the correct name In the meantime I saw that Wilson had been added to the list so I hung up. Surprise surprise he is a hot 2nd favourite now - if he wasn't on the list why not? And if a late entry to the list why not the longest priced on the list? Such an amateurish outfit TAB BETCHA ENTAIN whichever you are Two minutes later I get a call with a red alert "Scam Call" - 0061399570117 so I didn't answer it - they left a message that Wilson had been added. Two questions - Why is this number classed as a Scam alert? - Why is there not a "any other option" included in these types of bets? If not then surely it is a scam (a bit like taking future bets last year on the NZ cup with Swayzee not included) Matt Markham - surely you follow these threads to keep your nose to the grindstone (If you don't then you aren't doing your job finding out what punters want) - please explain why there isn't an "any other option" included in ALL these options - or are these just sucker options to alienate punters?

Blair Orange without a drive in the big two. Don't Stop Dreaming and Muscle Mountain should both be driven by him. Yes I am not paying the bills but professionalism surely should be part of equation Bet on Red - oh no starters - Rakero Rocket or Republican Party both wear Red hehe

I guess the name suppression is to protect the woman but not difficult for anyone to workout who it concerns - is HRNZ going to step in? Inserts Tui's ad

No cash out option at the moment - but if there is it would be pathetic and would be better to just take some insurance on Telfers

Should pick up at least 2 at Manawatu on Tuesday and one at Timaru - roughie for you - Franco Hoffman. That will make it 7 wins in a week
