Earth Control to Peter p --- in what language are you attempting to communicate with us? (clearly one in which punctuation is optional)

We cannot understand what you are saying. Repeat, we cannot understand what you are saying.

Tim horse was keen and he beat John Dunn’s horse home aswell, if he attacked and stopped before the one he attacked then maybe fair enough. But you could argue if John handed up to Tim would he wouldn’t have been flat at the top of the straight and may have found the line better than he did :D

Reality is that if there are 2 All Star Horses in a race it will always look,like there is team driving.

Reality is also that you can’t beat the AllStars horses as they can sit parked and still win.

The oddity of it is that there has never been such a domination of harness racing by a single stable!

Why is it that every horse that they line up is so superior to all the other horses ???????

Dear Brodie,

How was it possible for Mark Purdon to drive Jack Jones in the Kindergarten Stakes when as a trainer he also had War Dan Delight and Another Masterpiece in the same race.

Fart Too Much, why on earth would I be envious of people needing to work 80 hours per week in all weathers?

My Problem is totally unselfish in That I feel for all the owners and other trainers who pay the money and put the hours in and in the knowledge that if an AllStars horse is up against them, they can not win!!!

The Problem for,the industry is that many people who are investing in the industry are not getting any return and are going to pull out if this total dominance continues.

You can be an AllStars fan as much as you like but it is very detrimental to harness racing now and into the future if it continues.

Not quite, Brodie, they have had 232 starters 71wins 46 seconds 23 thirds  92 have not run a place.

All-Stars want you to write their CV.

BrodLeopard making it up as he goes along.

Confirmed All Star trained horse Jack Jones not superior today.

Mark couldn't pull the plugs I think he pushed them in further. There will be more that finish behind Jack than in front of him.

Lee, 92 not run a place because they have had more than 3in a race quite often so they probably finished 4th etc.

Anyway pointless debating this topic again as some just have their heads in the sand and can’t seem to see any negative with one stable domination. Plundering the stakes that other participants would like a share of!

I can tell you now that there are a helluva lot of disgruntled owners and trainers at the moment!

Some candid  socialism there  Brodie  None from AS team in tom at the Mot place so lots of money there  for the owners racing there . It happens every week around the country FYG.

Good placement? They won 7 from 7 last night with a second string team. Well, none of their superstars anyway, although one or two of last night's might be headed that way.

I figured Brodz knew (something even HRNZ didn't) and Jack Jones wasn't an All Stars horse but it turns out he was exagerating once again.

Is that the same as Harcourts having a 70% share in real estate or Bunnings forcing small hardware stores to close or Toyota dominating the new car industry. Should they all turn customers away and tell them to go else where and support all the struggling smaller businesses. They are the leaders in their chosen areas just as the All Stars are. Its up to the rest to improve and try and increase their market share or try a different approach to survive. This is the way it is in the "free world" with democratic rules or are you suggesting we should look at a communist style where we are all equal and  no one rises above the rest. 

Not  for me thanks Brodie.

It's a tough one. As unlike Bunnings who could supply the whole country, if all the other trainers gave up or relocated to Oz the Allstars would have nobody to race against. The AS team deserves their dominance in one respect, but it's not an attractive look at the same time. I have no idea what the answer is, with racing (in general) as a pastime seemingly in decline as a pastime choice.

Brodie here is the last stat I will put here. 

The top 9 drivers have driven 4321 horses and won 609 races I will bet they have not driven a handful of winners for All-Stars. 

The 10th on the list is N Rasmussen 63 for 33-7-4.
