30+ years ago maybe we did, but women also never used to be able to vote, and blacks had to drink from seperate fountains from whites, times have changed and to try and compare what happens now from way back then is drawing a very long bow.
And I'm sure those dogs that raced twice in one day wern't 14 months old, paddock reared with a couple of weeks getting broken in, and didn't repeat that procedure 2 days later. I'm surprised they didn't give Homebush Flame a run at Wanganui yesterday!! McInerney is one of the biggest dangers to greyhound racing being shut down before 2020 IMO. His attitude towards mass breeding, racing etc is disgusting and completely out of line in this modern era where social media has so much power.

Thanks for the reply on my profile Brodie. One of the funniest things I have read on here. That's gold! By the way Brodie, I have never heard of betfair banning anyone, and you have the oppourtunity to bet into markets less than 110%, and can lay short priced favourites at your peril! Bet smarter Brodie.
"Gonsta. I have told you previously that if I post horses on this Race Cafe, I would have already backed them with the TAB and they will then know who I am!
Can you not appreciate that.
They have come down on me dramatically betting wise already and there have been word that they want to reduce my betting down further.
I am a liability to them that they don't want.
They advise me that if I was in OZ I would not get a bet on."

Gonsta. I have told you I have a lot to lose, but not going to go into it anymore.
A respected contributor on here has already confirmed my validity.
I have no need or desire to prove anything to a Greyhound punter.
I don't understand what you have to lose? You don't bet on the tote and I'm only expecting you to post your bets 10 minutes before the race so your fixed odds prices won't be affected. I think you are missing a couple of things between your legs quite honestly. I'm sure there are more people than myself that would love to see how good you are at picking winners! Nothing better than a decent challenge IMO, especially if your as good as you claim then you shouldn't have a problem beating a greyhound punter. After all greyhound racing is a complete lottery according to you?

27 minutes ago, what a post said:
In NSW there appear to be over 50 people currently disqualified, Can you think of anyone in nz? You could read that 2 ways. Either nsw is full of cheats and nz has none, or nsw places a high priority on integrity, and nz does not. Probably somewhere in between. As ive previously pointed out,If you use the example of Auckland reactor who only finished racing 3 years ago,they currently have many in their team of horses,including 2yos, who would beat him.. Breed has not changed in 3 years. As for talking dribble. You are when you say 19 out of 20 would agree with you . Did you read my original question ? It asked what % believe this stable uses performance enhancers not currently tested for. You would have us believe they are ahead of the game in all areas except that. Perhaps you actually believe they will never have to test for new performance enhancers in the future. Perhaps you should ask this question. If you had a good bank balance,which trainer would you give your horse to,to achieve the best results. I'm guessing 95% would say the all stars. Which of course takes us back to the original point of this topic. As always ,this point is often ignored by many who reply.
How many races have the all stars won in NSW this season? How many G1's have they won in NSW this season?
Since you think the all stars are using a undetectable drug, if you knew anything about drugs and sports you would know many many many others will be using the same thing, as those supplying are obviously going to try and make as much $ as possible while its 'undetectable'... So how are the all stars beating those trainers? What are they doing differently? Obviously something?

Great to see you are still around Gonsta.
You haven't challenged me for a week or so, to get your kicks.
Keep doing what you think you are good at!
What I think I'm good at? I'm not the one that comes on here claiming i can't get a decent bet on and how good a punter I am blah blah blah. You must have balls the size of a pea if you can't accept my challenge. You honestly have nothing to lose yet deep down you must be rather skeptical about how good a form analyst you really are. It's easy to talk the talk but you obviously can't walk the walk! I would even be happy to bet on thoroughbreds vs your harness selections and put up the same $ offer. How about it, buddy?

Don't you remember Craig and his teabag saga ... he has had a couple of positives.. Will be very.interesting when the hair testing comes in. ... and of course I am not.inferring that they would have any.concerns reading the new regime.
No I don't, must have been before my time. Couldn't find anything on the JCA website about it either. I must confess I have heard more than one person with inside connections that have shared your concerns about team Roberts but didn't think Craig had any. Thanks for that.
I agree hair testing couldn't come soon enough, sure is going to be interesting following a few of the larger kennels and how they get on.

Not as often as the pricks should be.... especially the Roberts clan who have had their fair share of positive swabs...
Have they? Has Matt had more than one? Has Craig had one? As far as i was aware the only positive they have had was the Elki positive involving Matt Roberts and his sizeable bet. Is that what you are calling "fair share of positive swabs"? If I have missed any please feel free to tell me more.

A good confidence boost and Roosters look like easy picking next week to get on a roll. Johnson seems like he's switched on which is a good sign and RTS and Kata had good games so things are starting to gel. Just a pity we can never start a season well
$18.50 on betfair for them looks a great trading proposition IMO.

Well.done Max Christine and Noddy... still... as always they swab the little guy
Got a problem with that? Why should the 'little guys' be exempt from getting swabbed? The bigger trainers OBVIOUSLY get swabbed more than the 'little guys' as they win more races. If you can show me a top 10 trainer that doesn't regularly get swabbed then I will be quite amazed.

Agree 100%. How anyone can get interested in a 16 horse maiden race with no exposed form is beyond me. From a viewing and punting point of view.
This is a little gem of a quote from Brodie which I struggle to comprehend. How could anyone compare a grass track meeting with a bunch of donkeys running to the Auckland cup meeting is amusing to say the least.
" No such thing as a guaranteed winner and when no value or unders wouldn't waste my time.
Personally get more kick out of getting a roughy home in a maiden race than watching the Blue and Silver beat up in a big race.
If there is money to be made at Otaki grass track then I will be on, and more exhilarating than Auckland predictable race.
Auckland fixed odds are always very short so probably won't.
No point in bitching as it will be as predictable as anything. You are right they will be running for third when the AllStars are in.
If punters get a buzz and can make money on stinking hot favourites at Auckland then good on them!"

It gets even worse, Homebush Flame had its first start today at 14 months old, it is racing again on Thursday, and just for good measure is in again the following day.
That is 3 races in 5 days for a 14 month old dog, this isn't just wrong it is sick.
The time has come we need to bring in the rule like they are bringing in in Victoria where a dog is not allowed to race day to day.
Where is our so called 'welfare' officer, I don't care what anyone says, racing a dog that young so often IS a welfare issue and he needs to get off his ass and do something about it!
This makes my blood boil. Sickening quite honestly. Pure greed plain and simple.
Great to have one of the McInerney family posting on racecafe tho, interesting name tho since 'no one knows' where all his dogs end up!

Imagine there is all up place bets.
The win pools were so much larger than the place pools, so I would say punters doing all up win bets on some of the shorties.
Greg O'connor mentioned someone had 600 to return I think it was 50k into the last and would have got it.
That was obviously a multi if he knew the return of the bet, which has no influence on tote prices specifically. You can do an all up with win, place, quinella all in one bet. Win pools are always larger than place pools, regardless of what the winners pay on the tote / favourites winning etc.

Can I please have the system that gives a four grand positive cash flow each week through punting, would be nice lol
Theres a big difference between turning over 4K a week and having a 4K positive cash flow... There's oppourtunities every day to make free money on betfair and the TAB, whether you have the time, brain, discipline is another story.

Protecting your investment ? There is no indication that the rug being forward has given the dog an advantage or IMO that it ever would so what gain to you get out of this thread?
And 330,000 in 20 months that is $4000 a week if you have that much cash why you pissing around posting your crap in here and not enjoying life on your large wage.
Don't have to earn a large wage to turn over 4K a week buddy...

I agree with your second paragraph.
Maybe we restrict all trainers to 2 starters in any Group Race heat or Group 1-3 race. That may stop the rot - good idea - and if All Star owners don't like it then maybe a couple of the " tight " group , which they are , will be lost but the rest of the sport will be far stronger.
Lol you are taking the piss right? Geez some of you guys are absolutely pathetic sometimes. If you honestly think harness racing would be better off without Mark Purdon and his horses then you are absolutely deluded.

I'm surprised at the massive price difference between Kava Blu and Top Prosecutor based on their heat runs and the improvement I'd expect out of each dog. $1.7 compared to $8 is quite tempting as long as he jumps a bit better this week.
-
Amazing performance yesterday, i took $2.14 on betfair and wasn't confident during the run but she has turned into the complete race horse. Anyone know what price she hit during the race?
How many foals has Vegas Showgirl had? I see a 2yo Colt won on Thursday at Gosford. Snitzel x Vegas Showgirl with Waterhouse.

No I don't Barry. At home I use Touchtone which I find quick, easy and effective to place my bets. I have all the betting codes committed to memory so don't need to listen to the recorded voice on the other end.
I have had others here who use their phones or my computer and I can put a bet on quicker than them and how many times have you seen people miss out as evidenced by posts here when screens have frozen etc.
So in essence, I use paper format ie Best Bets and a normal phone to quickly place a bet as horses are loading. Shock, horror and I still manage to fluke a winner now and then. Incredible.
Good on you ted, but I could most likely place a bet faster on my IPhone than it would take you to dial the number, and then you need to listen to Ron Snowden blabbering on, it's a horrible way to bet IMO but whatever works for you!

You do not know your history. Greyhounds had far bigger turnovers 25 yrs ago long before imports or co mingling. And you are talking rot in the belief that we need imports to sustain turnover. Stars are stars where ever they are born.
It's a different world now, times have changed, people have many many other things to spend their 'entertainment' money on than the 'golden era' of 25 years ago like you talk about... It's time to smell the roses aquaman, the younger generation doesn't give a toss about greyhound racing in NZ, well 99.9% of them. The industry has never had a worse reputation in the 'general media' and by banning all Aus bred dogs you will put an end to running for decent money in NZ. The imports and turnover work hand in hand, do you honestly think Aus are going to show our racing if we ban imports? Get real, they would remove it so quickly, and as you should be aware as it's mentioned more than enough on here they bet on our racing more than kiwis bet on our racing...
Also try having a browse thru all these 'feature race' winners Aqua and tell me NZ greyhound racing is better off without imports.... YAWN.
