    Yes the same ole story,... state the truth or quote statistics (which dont tell lies) and you are immediately labelled a "redneck"  or else the "racist" card is immediately played.   Turny you really do disapoint me, i actuallt thought of you as a person of character and substance who is informed  with sound knowledge..  OPO  posts extremely well researched facts and statistics which at times upsets some who  are ignorant,bias or uneducated....often all three.

    Enjoyed the big day's racing yesterday but must confess that I did give a thought to a top commentator we no longer have the pleasure of listening to.

    Still miss hearing him - he was damned good at it and had a distinctive and (IMO)enjoyable style which added plenty to the race experience. Maybe I particularly appreciated it because a lot of the time I am listening on the earphones, not watching the race, as I do the farm and horse work outside. It means the commentary is "everything" in so far as relating both the atmosphere and what is happening in the running.

    All the best T Lee - hope life is good for you, whatever you're up to these days.

    Turny reacted to rdytdy in Are the weights Better than Ever   
    Firstly the current system in place allows what weight I Do receives and no rules have been broken there.

    I fully understand what you are saying Sheriff and have no doubt he did it in the interests of Burgundy's connections. I think however a question of integrity applies here.

    Does one abide by the rules of racing or not, that is the issue. Perhaps the wording of Rule 526 could be better but it's intention is pretty clear.

    The entry of BTE manipulated the weights the others carried greatly advantaging Burgundy's weight for the race.

    Is there any ethical difference in pulling a horse up in order to reduce it's rating to get into a race with a lighter weight?

    There are rules against both scenario's and both achieve the same result.

    I guess we will have to await the official outcome of this which will be interesting for what happened in this case and as a precedent for the future. Could if become rife?

    What's your point here ??? Winning owners are always happy regardless of race !!!! Your posts rubbish most races other than "harness jewels"day !!!! Mostly 'negative'....a thread was started ,I just gave my opinion. Junior drivers used to be "cowboys"....now they are many of our top drivers. The Mays ,DeFilippis,Purdon stable etc attract most of the posts on here...its all BS !!!

    I'm with Ashoka on this.
    Bagging Secretariat is a pretty big call given the horse's achievements and history. Can you point to some facts to support these assumptions. Take a chill pill Idolmite ?? How about a truth pill ?
     
    It's a sad refection of the modern world when someone objects to scurrilous accusations provided without proof and is met with being told to take a chill-pill ? What bothers you more, Idolmite ? TBHunter's unsupported assumptions or Ashoka's indignation ? Which is more genuine, more truthful ?
     
    To TB Hunter, did you personally inspect Secretariat in his living years to confirm the assumption about his hooves ?

    Tremendous run from a top mare. For those who follow my posts they know that I labelled her back in November (for this period) and their Bank Managers will be very happy. Suspect the mare will have a well earned rest now and return in October/November, or head direct to the mating paddock - what value a filly from this mare?
    Also, lets not underestimate the sheer brilliance of Chris - it really is the super talented CWJ of old when he rides this mare. Great that Chris was at Ellerslie today so our northern friends could see him and his riding talent- pIty he only had 2 rides today, but ARC should have marketed him and his talents - even at 48 he truely is the "Magic Man" - lets enjoy it as long as we can.
    Super to watch

    Turny reacted to JackSprat in brad willamson   
    I'd have to agree to a certain extent. Junior drivers races are a bit of a lottery, always have been, and always will be. Getting beat due to inexperience, such as going too soon, waiting too long, going too fast in front, going too slow, and missing opportunities in the run, are things you have to expect. But this defeat was brought about by overconfidence, and posing for the camera, so I think he can consider himself very lucky to have gotten off with being "spoken to advisedly".
     
    Knowing the Williamson family, and the fact that it was his brother that ended up beating him, I'm sure the lesson has been well and truly highlighted around the dinner table, and it's a mistake he won't be keen to repeat any time soon!

    In some ways, I kind of like the system used by the Greyhounds. Converting to Harness Racing, horses could drop back in grade one thay missed the first 4 placings 4 or 5 starts in a row.
    I realise there will be the cynics that say the drivers/tainers will not try in that 4th or 5th start, but that's the stipes job to sort out.
     
    At least horses can still race longer once reaching their maximum grade.

    Turny reacted to Berri in Sangster terrific but ...   
    Shane Dyes ride wasn't a bad gamble. The pace at that stage of the race was a joke when he set off like a man possessed and the form on the day (bar a couple where the pace was on) was that back runners had a tough time getting up. He could have steadied a bit when he got there but that is a case of semantics. The horse got beaten by better runners. For anyone who wanted to listen to me before the race, I unfortunately labelled Sangster as the lay down mazir bet of the day. Any horse that can win the AJC Derby, in some sort of form, beats that lot of runners. That was a joke of a group 1 race. And so it panned out. We have seriously slipped because apart from the Derby, this horse was beaten in a number of the lead ups by the Sydney mob who last year weren't as good as the Melbourne mob.
     
    And back to the coverage, why can't someone see that the images of races like this are our shop front window to the World. The coverage was bollocks. Lazy use of cameras, light, editing, preparation....in fact most of it. This was a Group 1 race and not some mediocre every Saturday type race. Even the lady who tried to sing the anthem sounded like a chopped up Gareth Morgan victim as the commentators kept pratiling on whilst publically apologising for be disrespectful to the anthem. You've got to be joking....what a shambles....so unprofessional on so many accounts. It pisses me off because this is not difficult.
