    Overcheck reacted to ClassAct in Bonus back   
    Can anyone remember the last time any harness races were included in this TAB promotion?
    Generally 16+ gallops races on a Satand now has moved to ‘enhanced mode’ to incl 5th place horses.
    We used to get a couple of races here and there but nothing for some time. The commitment to harness is inequitable.
     
    Surely we will have the full card as bonus back for Cup and Show Day, even if the reduce to 2nd, 3rd and 4th.
     
    Cmon TAB…at least show some interest in the local product.

    Overcheck reacted to Thejanitor in SARAH O'REILLY NEGLECTED SUPERSTAR   
    What is wrong with Canterbury trainers? Why aren't they using Sarah O'Reilly?
    Sarah O'Reilly is the best junior driver since Dexter. She has a remarkable record with two NZ Junior Drivers Championships and two Addington Junior Driver Championships. She brings long shots home and is kind to a horse with her silken hands.
    This talented driver had two drives at Oamaru. TWO!! Her results a win for Michael House and a third with The Bloss that Sarah gets on really well with and never out of money. I got plenty thank  you very much.
    Why do Canterbury drivers not use her? Sarah O'Reilly gets more support from Southland trainers than she receives from the majority of Canterbury trainers. Puzzling?

    Overcheck reacted to Davey1 in New Friday Harness Channel- Any Thoughts?   
    I am a galloping man but for the last two Friday night's have done something I have not done for 20 years. Bet on Harness racing. 
    I am pretty sure it is not designed to be another Trackside so it surprises me about some of the pop shots at the show on this forum. Talk about shooting yourselves in the foot when the industry has come up with an idea that just might work. One presenter who seems a lot of fun another who seems to know his stuff, no mindless racing from all around the world and human interest stories in between - perfect to relax to on a Friday night.
    Cheers
    Davey

    this great news . First real  promo to help keep harness racing alive. instead of the wiping of any form of visibility eg. friday flash.gone,newspaper fields and results long gone, radio broadcasts, gone hr weekly, gone...TABs closed or closing. (the accountantseducing costs and ignoring the damage to peoples interest in ownership/sponsorship and of course punting. BIG THANKS TO THOSE INVOLVED 😁

    Has anyone noticed the critical shortage of horses in the North , plus the severe lack of depth in good quality horses across all of NZ.
    I support this move to try and stem the bleeding and improve the health of Industry.
    The RACE has created a lot of talk and interest , IMO attracting the Aussie based horses has been pivotal in this and crucial to the future.
    Opening the window of the RACE , Taylor Mile , Messenger and Auckland Cup into the April/May timeslot a very good move IMO.
    The Aussie/NZ clashes should create a lot of interest , now and into the future.
    Remember the Derby and Oaks recently ,6 horse fields , good quality which I doubt the 4 yr olds could have mustered .
    A very positive change , the ATC now needs to promote it .
    Great that the admin folk are helping provide horses racing in NZ...we grizzle if admin folk lack skin in the game. Good luck to him ,for mine !

    Exactly.  Why would you give the drive to someone who has only won a premiership, over 3000 races, 7 New Zealand Cups plus most other group 1,s and over $33million?  Insanity

    Overcheck reacted to 45yearsofharness in The "Praying Mantis" suspened again   
    I don’t think it is relevant how many winners I have driven, but since you asked and you say I go on, then I will.

    I have driven winners and lots of races and have been in the game a long time, hence my name tag.

    I was driving when there was a lot of competition, so juniors did not get the opportunities they get today.

    The fields were a lot bigger, always full fields up to 18 horses; there was a running rail and no passing lane.

    The rules were a lot different like the push out rule, whip rules etc.

    I’m telling you this because you question if my advice is coming from a valid source, I believe I know a fair bit of what I am talking about.

    The bottom line here is, I’m trying to help and give some constrictive advice.

    But if his parents can’t accept constructive advice from others then I feel sorry for him, but I can understand having a son of my own, we do mollycoddle them.

    So last week Judge Neave throws out all but one single race fixing allegation now, and there’s no betting irregularities or money trail on that one race ……yet the media stooges say nothing 
    C’mon media, don’t be spineless, report the facts as this matter grinds on to the inevitable collapse ….if I know about it you must know too
    10 million plus wasted, absolutely wasted, because there never was any evidence to substantiate the race fixing, PEDs, and blood doping allegations

    I think it is disgusting. The South Island could be at level 1 or nil, if the buggers had said no travel to South Island what so ever. That means Air and Sea. The horses ok, somehow that could be done. Just an insult to all the folks of the South

    Cindy & Co couldn't organize a piss up at a brewery, so it's no surprise that they won't let a party at the races, that they have nothing to do with organizing, go ahead.
    As far as the pie man goes, once upon a time ministers of the crown were staunch advocates for the industries they were ministers of. Show me one minister that has done that in this current dictatorship, who rule by fear and fear alone.
    Almost 2 years of Covid and NO COVID CASES IN THE SOUTH ISLAND FOR ALMOST 12 MONTHS....... But wait, they now have a plan, we just have to wait until Friday to hear it!!!!

    Hardly eljay......proved he is the master !
    Took the chance to tell the media that his horse would probably NOT win.
    Said he'd be happy with a top 3 finish , but the horse was 'hefty' in condition and would be driven conservatively.
    He added that Natalie's horse was at his stable ,and more forward of the two.
    Proved IMO he is the master !
    And she did what she normally does when on best horse in race ,on the night.......drove aggressively !
    That why she so good !
