Race 9 at Addington Friday night That is a long way from a standing start in my opinion A mobile without a vehicle

The last time an overseas operation was involved someone forgot to factor in the monthly fees, or a similar cockup, and the government had to help resolve the bill payment. The TAB has drifted off track a bit, in a bid to attract young people etc They seem very keen to advertise darts, boxing and other non racing products that must be popular and hopefully profitable, yet dismissed racing radio that most punters had on in their cars etc. Maybe someone has studied the numbers and they are on the correct path.

Both eljay with his big owners comments and Nelli with the Cambridge management comments are making statements that are well wide of the mark. Nelli ring the office and apologise for your uninformed and incorrect statements

Every day across all 3 codes the experts put up multi, quaddie, pick 6 selections and I often take a photo of the screen and check the results later. Regularly gone in the first leg and hardly ever a winning result.

George 1- J Teaz nil , and by 7 lengths

Sorry John Legend, my last paragraph was badly written. I still support harness racing, still involved in ownership and punting , still have many friends involved like I am. Still attend at the track , perhaps not quite as regular as previous years. I have never bred a Standardbred though. Everyone I have known that has been involved in governance has had a passion for the industry, perhaps maybe you too? Never easy for everyone to agree on the magic formula though.

John Coulam has his own name and signature on his post. He has put time and effort to help the whole harness fraternity try and achieve a sustainable result over a long period of time at several levels , now at Chairmans level. Flash, Tasman, etc, including me as well are keyboard warriors with no target on our shirts. You guys might know who you all are and your pedigree re club representative, trainer etc but I don't. In my opinion if you don't like what John Coulam says or does get on your local club committee and be part of the process that elected him. He is at least commun

Perhaps the green party got some sort of promise from Labour in the initial negotiations? Re the P positive, lifetime ban for the person involved in my book.

Sort of reminds me of the great aussie movie The Castle Similar lawyer!

I agree with the statement the old website was OK. Re the Racing Minister, I once had a meeting with a previous holder of this position and pre Winston. He was driven halfway across the country in his chauffeur driven BMW along with his black suited advisor. We had given his office a brief on exactly what our questions were and why we needed the information about the subject. He was not only the racing minister but held several other titles. He was useless, was not and did not answer any one of our questions, he kept deferring to his offsider who said we cannot answer t

How about if said world authority had punted on the favourite? Not saying he did but he was quite able to punt as it wasn't in this years rules

Sorry 25.5 was on the board 3 times, not 25.

Absolute rubbish Drink Shoeys crosses the line at 25. Ends up 25.59 Federal Morgan crosses at 25. Ends up at 25.50 Pedro Lee runs 25. The clock has somehow malfunctioned so they panic and go to an outside influence from last year's rules, not this years, and leave everyone hanging Finally 25.61? Is declared wtf How could it go up when all the other times stayed in the 25.? And become 25.61 Cannot wait to see the replay when I get home because surprisingly has yet to be posted

Whole shebang should be postponed for a week or so or whatever time it takes to get Auckland back to level 2. Unfair to run it without the preferred drivers

Lawyers have a code of conduct and ethics, accountants, car dealers, real estate agents etc have a similar written code to abide by. But although the majority stick to the rules there are bad eggs in every game. Another poster on here suggests a lifetime ban, I tend to agree. If that power is available or possible to use it surely would be a hell of a deterrent for those thinking of offending. Worth a shot maybe?
