Hey guys Just thought i would let you all know, Dusty unfortunately passed late last year. Great guy. Big loss. Always hated Chch. Warned me when i moved down to stay off the punt round there!!

Kennel cough

Hey guys, if you scratch a dog on friday but dont get it vetted till say sunday the stand down still starts from the friday when the dog was scratched. No matter when the dog is presented to a vet. It could have been scratched when he got home and maybe found it to be sore and not presented till the next meeting. Stand down still starts from the friday!!

I do not deny what she is, as i said in a previous post, she is what she is!! I did say that i dont believe anything she has done in her last couple of starts has been bad enough to put her out. That is my personal opinion and i am probably bias. I just get annoyed when people constantly go on about it. Also as i said in my previous post i will bow out of this thread as i find it a waste of time!!

John mate, phat pants and business affair bumped twice on the bend, que tee pix had to hook wider, copped 1 bump and beat them both. If thats the excuse for business affair getting beat its a poor one! If your trying to say that phat pants 'knocked off' and thats the reason she checked business affair then wouldnt phat pants have won if that didnt happen?!?!? In my opinion business affair was by no means a cert beaten, she should have won from where she was. The 1 question i have for yas though if that wasnt a dog wearing blinkers who has a history, would your thoughts still be the same? Or would you think they just bumped on the bend? But i too will be like yankiwi and bow out of this thread, it gets noone anywhere bleating on here about whos chasing and whos not chasing!!

Im not getting into it with you mate, i dont even know who you are. She is what she is, she is not the only one around. I dont believe she deserved to be put out today, but im probably bias. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. I am interested though if you owned her or even say jacks a jewel would you retire them?? As a trainer she is a cash machine on paws and we all have to make a living, whether we are trainers, owners or punters. So if you owned a dog that had the potential to earn $10-$20k would you retire them because people back them to win? Lifes not fair mate, whats good for me isnt necessarily good for you that is just how life works!!

Im not saying it is, im just winding yankiwi up mate! Every owner/trainer has either had or will have a dog like her in their life. She has been put out in the past, she now wears blinkers. I dont believe she has done anything in her past few starts that is bad enough to be put out. And if she does in the future i will be the first to admit it. Im not getting on here to defend them, just winding yas up!! Come on we are all here for the same reason, why get on here and bitch and moan about each other and talk about the negatives!!

Haha im not getting into this with a 'keyboard warrior' that cant even put their name to their posts. She is what she is, everyone knows, smart people use it to there advantage. Shes earnt us and her owner $10k since shes been racing, cant complain at that, (plus a bit off the tote too) usually easy to make money on her races!! Just get over it mate, build a wee bridge!!

Think we might have to change your name to YAWNkiwi. Its getting old mate, how about you get a new hobby!
