  1. Thanks
    eljay got a reaction from Keneperu in Shambolic cup start: Where the starter was positioned   
    Surely they will replace the starter for Show Day.     Addington cannot afford further bad publicity with their biggest Trotting Race the Dominion  to be run.

    Horsemen and punters are demanding action after yet another shambolic start to the New Zealand Cup. We reveal where the starter was positioned for the race.   https://www.lincolnfarms.co.nz/stories/universal-outrage-after-todays-shambolic-new-zealand-cup-start-destroys-many-hopes/

    Surely it's a serious worry that money to pay for this saga is money that should be going to the already cash strapped industry.

    Unbelievable.     Indefensible.     Let's see what the stipes report says before we make any further comments.      Then, if nothing said by them, well that will be the time to hoe in.
    Like most sports the participants (drivers, trainers) are no doubt forbidden to criticise so it is left to the general public.

    eljay got a reaction from john legend in Manawatu - First meeting of the season   
    Just a week till the nominations for the beginning of the harness season in the Central Districts.         Let's hope the club are very well supported by the N.I. Trainers.      The industry cannot afford (IMO) to lose this venue - and in fact lose all the other day country meetings the "we know better" executive deem.       Surely the answer to the problem is not wholesale shut downs.      The national bodies have to be convinced that perhaps they are a contributing factor to the problem by for instance allocating unsuitable dates for these once or twice a year meetings    Surely the just completed  Kaikoura with it's big crowds bears witness.    Let's support Manawatu by nominating horses, attending, and if this can't be achieved at least throw a bob or two on the tote.   Good luck to Manawatu.

    eljay got a reaction from Patiti in How good was the ref and AB selectors.   
    Since the game was invented the three golden rules have never changed.
    1) For a test you field your best available team
    2) Never change a winning combination
    3) Never underestimate your opposition.
     
    For some strange reason all our coaches have to learn the hard way and history shows us this will never change.

    Do you think I'm serious too about Marks Mob, Razzies Rabble, Rakey?       Would I use such expressions?       If I have a serious complaint, I don't go on Social Media - there are correct avenues for such..      Perhaps the odd time I do have a serious comment to make (like my next one re Manawatu) but they are self evident.

    It will depend on (1) draws and (2) what Lamb considers to be a stand on the day.
