Guest Report post Posted April 18, 2018 Well done Greg O’Connor with tonight’s “The Box Seat” Some of your finest work as it was a very enlightening and interesting show. Opinions on a variety of topics that currently affects harness racing from numerous participants! It was interesting that everyone had differing opinions and ideas on things. Questions such as “Is the Purdon domination of harness good or bad for the industry” was informative Other questions in regards to the Jewels being held at a Addington and Alexandra Park also had differing opinions, but I agree with “The Reidman” All agreed that there is a shortage of mares being bred! All basically stated that the industry has a lot of problematic issues going forward! This was a very good show and I believe that if this type of format occurred on a more regular basis, then more harness enthusiasts would watch it! Perhaps Greg could’ve asked “The Brodster” what major issues he has with the industry currently? Wonder what he would say?

Great idea for grass tracks, big fields, 5 place divis would entice newbies to bet and to punt more regularly. Call it top five bet. Still have the regular 3 places betting.

You allow certain posters to continue to try and have “The Brodster” on, that is ok with you but bit of humour and can’t have that! No its seen as arrogance from what I see...not sure there is humor in that...as I said JMO. But maybe people would not react like they do if you did not come off as so cocky...JMO Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you not allowed to back yourself nowadays, when I am always on the money! I express an opinion and what I say I believe in! Rather be confident than the other way!

Steven Reid was the most enthusiastic about them. To be fair Janitor, most said that they admired their results but that they were not great for the harness racing industry as the money is not shared around enough. This is one of the reasons that people are not breeding as much nowadays. The interviewees are hardly going to say exactly what they thought on that topic on TV as it would not be a great look for them! Would it? We all admire their results unauestionably but not great for the industry financially! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s something called illeism But what do you make of a person who references himself in this unusual manner? Illeism is usually a sure sign of narcissism? When talking about their affairs with others, narcissists will rarely acknowledge error or personal shortcomings. Somehow, they’re always right and everyone else is wrong. For one thing, when speaking about themselves narcissists frequently “fish” for compliments, validation, approval, etc.. If they’re of the more “vulnerable,” neurotic variety, they get anxious and feel easily hurt or slighted if you fail to heed their invitations to stroke their ego, whereas if they’re the more “grandiose” or character disturbed type, they’ll show their disdain for you if you fail to recognize what they already know to be their greatness. cantab matt, Fartoomuch, Spikecity and 2 others 3 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
