In de de de olden din din days drivers would get 2nds and 3rds hold back till money was up for a win then go like hell to win tis the reason why they put a stop to it not rocket science

Add another 30k to get it to the races, better be good but then some only want a photo or 2 or 3, 4, 5 on the wall shit i would jump for joy if I got 1/2 a photo ha ha good luck to the owners

Rusty you hit the nail on the head , he was placing bets with someone that had been in the game a long time you would expect better support from someone who new the rules front to back. today with all the electronic stuff around you can be photographed 100 times without you even knowing take it from someone who has been on a number of court cases and even I was surprised to see what departments can get without you even knowing.

Scooby .. What happens to investors.. well you get your money back plus interest Now imagine and yes I cant see it happening but worse case if everyone pulled out bloody hell it would sink further and faster than the titanic.

Tripped , Pushed, Fell, Stumbled call it what you like it all leads to exit stage left........ NEX

All the gin swiggers that agreed should also GO.The way I read it was ATC thought they would make 30 mill by doing some of the sign offs themselves which you can but you have to be smarter than the average mouse they are not , sadly it effects all of us, I do feel sorry for those that sold there houses expecting to be in last year now paying high rents what a bugger.

Sure did I'm often not sure how people take things these days but I read you are old school like me which I love often my kidds and I talking daughters grab my retro shirts cause they recon we had class back then

Iraklis or is it ir a ka lees as them ozzis would say anyway mate your more exciting than listening to paint dry ha ha now don't get upset

Firstly Congrats to Sailesh and the Owners, Secondly how about these junos get off there arse and talk to the owners they are the ones paying the bills I get put off by the B/S when they always seem to interview the blue brigade yes we know they are good but come on there are others I recall time when they dead heated with another horse O'Connor runs over to Natalie he showed that day where his allegiance lie at lest Nat did say go and talk to the other driver first and good on her.There use to be a time when Mic would go and talk to the battling Trainers /owners ect but the seems to be long ago

Why do we even have a tape, this is such a archaic way of starting, even the great CARBINE god bless was still alive he would have something to say as the only time he got left out of the money was when the tape wrapped around his legs but sorry I forgot we are run by muppets and gin swiggers

The problem out west Tim is all the land been carved up into shanty houses well that's what they will look like in 10 years.

But to be fair to her Iraklis 2 races in 6 days or less was a bit much adding in the travel so even great trainers can get things a bit wrong as she went mighty in ozzie

So True Iraklis ha ha no wounder I didn't pass S. C. ENGLAND Ha ha Ha Ha mind u I probably pass it today cause u not allowed to fail anyone anymore

I see they are quick to disqualify you if your gate is not good or you gallop unlike here where we hitch and fumble around like a wobbly wheel barrow

They way they extend in there front gate is just poetry in motion and pretty to watch

Trotters in theses parts are the purest of them all they don't mix breed, correct me if I'm wrong but didn't a Ozzie track had a similar way of starting and then for some reason canned it cant remember which track

For trotters I say get rid of the tape, this is such a prehistoric way of starting, do lights laser anything but a bloody tape and don't give me the crap about educate your horse,( then lets all be on the unruly the whole 16 odd of them wouldn't that be fun to see ha ha ) horse don't go near the tape it bites but go to the races and you gotta get close if i was a horse Id say bugger off..

The lady with the purple hair is the daughter they sent 21 million dollars worth of throughbred yealings to Chris a few years ago all horses need big dollars so I put the old standie in with the gallop's

Mr AllStars good or bad for our game !! I look at it like this... they are no different than a Electrician , Builder, Plumber , Engineer we all target certain jobs that pay better for time spent and leave the crap alone. .Allstars is no different they target certain races because there way of thinking is this is the Time and Money spent you need to go this fast if you cant then send it to someone else and they have the owners with the money to do it is it there fault NO is it the Industries fault NO it is how it is I feel its a bit like not so long ago people where saying to many CHRISTIAN CULLEN horses are been bred and its stuffing the sport and we should limit mares served. what some owners need to do if they are after those races is pool your money together buy 2 or three well breed ones instead of 1/2 a dozen average types but they don't call this The Sport Of Kings for Nothing, But you also so need a very good eye to buy them not all of us can. Take WINX she only went for $230 K that was the owners last and final offer as they didn't want to spend 1 dollar more imagine if you had 231 K look at what you could have owned, bloody helps though that you come from the inghams family ha ha

Mark is a very good trainer take nothing away but Natalie has helped him improve look at how many of his horses don't have over checkers and they have developed greatly in the rear end as you cant development a horses arse with your head pointing to the sky any Equestrian trainer will tell you this that's because Natalie has a very good understanding of horse conditioning why do you think WINX goose to a Ex equestrian/eventer trainer ect for pre conditioning. Good on them for there results mind you they do go through a lot that end up exit stage left that no one hears about but the game is about winning not coming second. Just my view blast away at me if you please and yes i do sit behind and train them I'm just down on horse power but i have alot of fun and no pressure

Hopefully they didn't state he was the first NZ race horse to crack 1 mill, like they stated in the paper and TV1 as he wasn't Cardigan Bay did that in the late 60s/70s.But he was the first thoroughbred I'm all for this we should also have a statue for Carbine at Sylvia park instead of a pissie arse plaque..If he (carbine) was Ozzie born they would have a huge monument to him.

Firstly thanks to Roydon lodge for all the fun you gave the industry particularly with those great stallions The sale reminds me of the last dispersal sale (cant quite remember the name of the stud ) but it showed last horse going on a majestic truck... end of a error. So dose Roydon lodge become a housing lot now ? The trouble I find is the cost of breeding is to high for the return, some will say our sport is a gamble so take the gamble uumm yer but not when you go backwards at 100 miles hour you cant just keep breeding when there is no market to sell. don't know the answer and prob many don't either.

I agree with that Taku, that will also mean doing away handy capping, having said that maybe if we all grab a trotter or two we can do it and with more trotters at Alex Park last week than pacers (i think) and more mobile starts is this telling us something.

We have to many gin swiggers in our game so nothing will ever change hope I'm proved wrong one day, I doubt any of them have trained a horse not to mention be electric tape proof and then in the same breath walk up to a tape when your all fired up horses are not stupid they know workday and raceday , don't give me the crap that you should teach them some just cant handle it that's why some head for the unruly . Put a marshell on all the 10 meter marks if you are ahead fine the driver wont take long for them to stay behind not rocket science. Have a set of lights Red Orange Green we all use them everyday well some of us do ha ha

I see no point now in breeding then going to sales to line PGGW pockets and come home behind the ball,( My mares are not all that bad ) not against PGGW they are only there to make money and take no losses,( unlike me ) so the yearlings I have I'm gonna race myself if i end up with a big blood nose who cares at least I'll have fun who knows I mite find a very very good vet who knows a very very good MR GurthieBowron ha ha I like to know what others think or am I just a slow learner !! was told that many many years ago when at school ha ha.
