  1. No doubt Petey but prefer to see them perform closer to the trial they were selected from. Delusional? So now the formguide person is wrong as well, you better entertain the reality that your have made an error of judgement, we all make them at times you know
  2. Never said he did Z ? Was referring to another of Pikeys runners albeit changing tack very quickly...when do you ever see a race where a horse 3 out pulls out on pace over 1000m or less and gets circled by the one behind it. ? We all make mistakes but that was a little Bobby dazzler
  3. You can have your opinion but not your own set of facts unfortunately Petey, seems others disagree
  4. Wouldnt lose any sleep over it Petal,I've sold my soul to this game like yourself, if you have created a positive good on you but most havnt including myself.So what? ThIs life is short regardless of who you are, but some good times against the odds keep us coming back. The trial? It was very good, but McNab on race day was Shit. Robbed
  5. Stupid names? Pete L looks like Petal to me and anyone involved in this Industry deserves respect, a ton of money to be spent no matter where you are placed. I lost plenty from that excellent trial but as a Pike horse I should of known better. If Assano was on i wouldnt of backed it.
  6. All Punters are mugs Muley but it can be very 'rewarding' at times.you can crunch data till the Cows come home and horses like Slipper Island can still be beaten out of a place...the Sporting World is full of of unlikely results and these don't just come about because a few choose to pull the Wool. The God's are having a laugh Happy punting
  7. Good to see it Petal Why did you back it may I ask? You didn't see McNab being held up Pets? Momentum is quite important particularly when they've set up average time as you well know. Next time
  8. Interesting alright Dazzer, if you were a Jockey riding in a race of this nature what would you do ? A good judge of pace would be flushed out to improve or be 'forced into adopting different more pro active tactics from.the outset ...as many seem to do in races with positive speed maps its racing, mug punters take their medicine and move on...then complain again next week
  9. The third on here not to worry you need to get a few more wrong to catch most at Cafe
  10. Wasn't just the poor decision makin chicks it was the lack of effort from the outset, this is Mike McNab . If it was a first year apprentice maybe , if he was riding for his life he wins, on what 'looked' a place certainty. ...and yes I started with the best chance all day
  11. In plain view they spend Tax payer money so what's happening behind closed doors? How much did Cindy and Grant give to Pfizer???? And what other agreements were signed off over useless therapeutics and ineffective vaccines...Why did Banker Key drop out in an instant , signing up with the ANZ and having regular lunches with Luxon 'talking about golf .....we are wasting our time talking about peanuts....taxpayers= muggins
  12. He rode one against it's regular pattern last week but otherwise very good Boss
  13. They call themselves Journalists but are only mouthpieces. The News is moderated by a small group in NZ answering to a larger international entity. You need to be talented AND have a passion for racing, not see it as something that reduces a Families ability to feed and clothe their Children.
  14. Did we see a fair racing surface today? Looked 'racing striped' yet again and after watching McNab thoroughly butcher the well placed Slipper Island in Race 4 it added to the confusion. What did Pike tell him to do pre race? And did he tell Assano to avoid being handy ( surely not) while he got circled 4 wide at Cambridge over 970 on the biggest drifting warm fav in years? $2.5 to $8... Anyone would of thought it turned up with 3 legs Worth asking questions surely, when it looks and smells like horseshit is it or is piss poor decision making explained away that easily?
