Guest Report post Posted February 10, 2018 10 hours ago, harewood said: Brodie what defines loyal to NZ racing and what does a person/trainer do to be unloyal. Who is it that you know is more loyal to NZ harness and who is not. Please explain your reasons for this loyalty so we can understand who we should shun as I have no time for disloyalty. Harewood, Point is that the Dunn’s train their horses for the benefit of their owners and racing in NZ. Another Stable does do well for their loyal owners but by plundering the stakes of the major races in Australasia is not good for the harness industry in NZ, end of storey!! !

Double edged sword Brodie as the stakemoney won in Aussie gives their owners more money to spend in NZ eg Yearling sales, breeding,sponsorship etc.. I am sure that when Robert and John get suiteable horses they will take them to Aussie to race as well.

And there's still the elephant in the room that neither HRNZ or the RIU seem willing to put to bed.... Both stables should currently be on 47 wins apiece. Rule 1004 is black & white re presenting horses to race free from prohibited substances and regardless of extenuating circumstances or investigations the horses that returned positives in Nelson should have been relegated! Larsen, Dalgety etc must be furious at the inconsistency - both were charged, their horses put out and in one case a significant fine, though it was acknowledged throughout that neither trainer was at fault. We either have rules or we don't; discretion should be applied when deciding penalties but not in deciding whether (or not) to enforce the rules. If this was in Aussie, or a involving a hobby trainer there is no doubt the outcome would have been very different. All Stars come into their own as the juvenile racing ramps up but it looks like the Dunn stable also have some quality horsepower, plus plenty of nice horses to race on the circuits & undercards. Each stable appears to have very loyal owners, so while their approach may be quite different they're both on the money meeting the needs of their clients. Both have large syndicates, providing low cost options to introduce new owners to harness racing and should be applauded for their initiative. Trainers and drivers premierships could both end up being very close and competitive this season! richie 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Stable does do well for their loyal owners but by plundering the stakes of the major races in Australasia is not good for the harness industry in NZ, end of storey!! ! Brodie I am confused by your comments. All stables are loyal to their clients and place their horses to the best to maximize their earning potential whether it be in NZ, Australia, USA or Scandinavia. That is why many stables have the same clients year after year, because they are loyal to them. Your inference then is that R Dunn has not been good for the NZ harness industry because he took Master Musician to Australia many times and "plundered the stakes of major races" Just as many Australian horses have come over and won NZ Cups, Rowe Cups and many more races. Are they then disloyal in Australian Harness racing? I am sure this is not what you meant so I think you should rephrase your comments and also explain who you are referring to as being disloyal and give reasons why. "I know who is more loyal to NZ harness racing and does far more for the NZ industry" It is not good enough to make random unsubstantiated comments such as that one without proven facts and justification.

Seriously? No point debating this in my mind! Most people,have an opinion and both trainers do best for their owners! Shouldnt be a mud slinging site and not going to enter that.

Lazarus needs all the protection from these champions. Rasmusson pulled back in the Freemantle cup to let Lazarus in but Purdon said he can sit 3 deep and still win, poor judge.

Yes, but feels like I have broken for more than 200 metres.... Dunns V Purdons? Both winners, Both contribute enormously in their own (and similar) ways. Both have things hanging over their heads which are highly debatable such as driving tactics, positive swabs and website articles. Those are things worth talking about on here without trashing the participants of the respective stables or the people who post on this forum. Alas, I cannot help myself when I see one or two post absolute garbage on here without a hint of reality. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iraklis 2,231 Report post Posted February 11, 2018 LongOwner, the decision on Nat's drive is under appeal! and I say again she didn't stop anyone at all, they all had the inside run on her and The Rocks, she however was on the outside at one point 4 wide, all of those 'affected' (your words) were in fact in the run home down inside her (she herself copped interference) and had their chance, just she had the horse with the big motor to pass em, even goin 4 wide down the outside....personally, I believe Nat was about to send the big fulla forward, but when she went to go he almost broke, hence she had to change tack......MHO To the rest of you (and you know who I mean) MIND YUH GODDAMN MANNERS!!!! WHAT THE HELL'S WITH THE LOT OF YUH??!! YOU ARE ALL ADULTS I TAKE IT SO FRICKIN ACT LIKE IT, IF YOU HAVE TO RESORT TO PERSONAL INSULTS AND ABUSIVE LANGUAGE THEN YOU HAVE ALREADY LOST!!!!
