  1. They have us by the short and curlys cos we have to race our horses
  2. The kiwi fruit board will be shitting their pants right about now. they would probably have got away with it, if only they had stopped after the 3rd or forth debortous night. looks like their gravey train is drying up, I wonder who's going to be next.
  3. Its the negative things that stir up the most conversations, Baby lambs, flowers and happiness gets abit boring after awhile!
  4. I agree with what you say Nerula. Just want to say this site has enabled me to share veiws and learn the attitudes and opinions of other participants in this industry. when im at the track in the mornings or at the races i dont usually get time to talk to many others in much depth. I'm not much of a technical geek I prefer to be outside but can see how powerful medians like this can be, if used correctly,
  5. Of course fitness was a factor, this is only a lead up race for RR she's not 100% fit yet, both horse's were inconvenienced. RR ran up the ass of SS because Opie tryed to cut the corner slightly and it didnt come off, potentially unbalancing SS also! When it came to the finish line SS had slighly more left in the tank than RR.
  6. Cameron George could play himself, he would be brilliant! might even get a best actor award
  7. It was the comment about what they do with horses while they are still in training that I was interested to know the answer to. With all due respect just because you dont like to face up to an unpleasent part of our industry, you are effectively denying all of your readers an opportunity to learn about something that is terrible but does happen. Its education that changes the world! you have a powerful tool at your fingertips, you should use it!
  8. She got around the corner on the correct leg, its quite normal for them to change legs on the home straight, sometimes more than once especially when they are tiring, it doesn't cause them to lose momentum or balance, its not even relevant.
  9. Far out! I was interested to read the answer to that question. What could be worse than live baiting? We all survived that revelation. You allow IMO, at times quite nasty hurtful posts yet you are censored by the Japanese? That is as inconsistent as our current judicial processes
  10. Cubes can u not see? Mrs Cubes was doing it for you So it doesn't count
  11. So, what then trakdap? Sell everything, fire everyone and then start completely from scratch?
  12. Its evolved into something more interesting than criticizing someone for their choice of jewlery!
  13. 'Motley lot?' Far out some of you are wankers! You will moan about anything. We are never going to be able to compete with the rest of the world no matter how superduper fantastic our industry is, we simply do not have the population. We do need our wonderful product to be well managed (IMO we are not at the moment) at the end of the day the top of the top will always go off shore because that's where the giant cheque books are. Back to the cup, congratulations to each and every runner and best of luck, you all deserve to be there, I know how hard it is to win just 1 race! I can't wait to park up on the couch and watch. I'm going to have an E/W on She's Insatiable I'm sure she will be paying a fortune if she's having a good day she will be right in it, especially with Chris Johnson aboard.
  14. I noticed on tv there looked to be some bare dusty patches, and it might have been cutting out abit in places. Its hard to tell from the tv, hopefully its good. The times were fast, would like to know from someone that was there how it held up.
  15. Well iv got the will! I get up early every morning to work my horses because I love it and can't imagine life without them. Then I go to work and work my arse off to pay for them, feed my kids and pay the mortgage, usually in that order. I'm starting to get pretty pissed off watching the industry that I have put every spare minute of my time and every spare cent of my money being run into the ground! Its bullshit! I love this industry and the awesome people in it, I'm not prepared to give it up but iv had enough, which means something has to change. I know there are some amazingly clever, articulate men and woman out there who have given their lives to this industry, I want people like these in charge of us. I don't know how to go about getting us working together, but I will put my money where my mouth is and stand up and be counted if somehow we can.
  16. Lol yep dreams are free, so how do these lucky buggers get theses jobs then?
  17. Well how do these people get these jobs then?
  18. well said Mckenzie, I don't know what is wrong with theses people , they moan about whats going on in our industry (IMO their complaints are perfectly legitimate) but on more than 1 occasion I have tryed to got a conversation going about us working together to exact change and its met with silence. We are the ones providing the service, its our blood sweat and tears keeping theses people in their jobs, I want people like Hogan, Pitman, Rogerson directing us. I call for everyone to stand down, then all of us to vote on who should be on the board, the current members are welcome along with anyone else to put their hats in the ring, if they are any good they will get reelected.
  19. A former big wig of some sort, someone who most definitely knows better! hes now a top trainer/cheat watch the video its brilliant and the real beauty of it is everyone is easily recognisable, I call that Karma
  20. Ok so I went outside and picked up some horse poo trying to get those images out of my head. but I can't. Im troubled, there has to be something fundamentally wrong with a persons core to be able to inflict that sort of cruelty, voluntarily on a daily basis. we think the punishment for these people should be, gag them, tie them to a pole, spin them around and around a track being chased by dogs, with muzzles on of course, then after 5 minutes of this take the muzzles off. Iv got 2 dogs that would gladly volunteer.
  21. OMG I just watched it, part of me wishes I hadn't! Those disgusting pigs need to go to jail! it never cease's to amaze me the unbelievable cruelty humans inflict on others, and theses people appeared to be enjoying themselves. All the greyhound integrity officers need to loose their jobs, claiming they didn't know what is going on is utter bullshit!
  22. this was always a leadup race for the derby for VSB, If you lost $ on him that's your own fault don't get pissed off at the jockey, he did the right thing, if he had tryed to move earlier they would have pushed him so far wide he would never have had a chance.
  23. 2admim2 if you are in need of some 'Scientific literature' how about you do some experiments of your own, bute up some sore horses, then you ride them in their gallops and see what the outcome is, write us your conclusions. The rest of us will just use our 'common sense'
  24. Pain is there for a reason, if bute is used the horse will no longer feel pain, it will push itself much harder than it would if restricted by the pain therefore on occasion causing catastrophic injury to horse and rider. Its just common sense really! I think the jockeys would be unwilling to start blacklisting trainers as that is their livelihood and generally until there is a catastrophic incident nothing would change anyway.
  25. I totally agree, it's forums like this that can be powerful. what other ideas can we come up with? I will write a strongly worded email to my local MP but I'm pretty sure it will just get filed under 'I don't really give a shit!' There must be things we at the coal face can do, it's a very tricky situation they have us by the short and curlys, because this is our livelyhood and its not like we can go to a different provider to race our horses. Anyone got any creative ideas to get our voice herd without punishing our local clubs and livelyhoods?
