14. Sunlunatic child will be caught lying about his CV again, a CV that you’d fit on a small postage stamp

15. I’ll fight Trevor Mallard and do to him what Gayford did to the nanny ( that’s a joke )

16. Doug Graham will lay claim to once owning a winner but be unable to name it

No mention of your good sparing partner, The Stopper ! I thought you would predict he would get a $1.10 fave home!!

They've already essentially failed because of that haven't they?

I thought this may have been your idea of a joke....that you may be a 'mate' of chevy86 but I now read his reply !

It seems apparent that your comment to him was therefore spoke with the same venom/aggression that you have spoken to others including myself thru 2020.

Personally it didn't worry me one bit , but I think it does little for this site or for your own standing.

I imagine this doesn't worry you one little bit ....you will probably just have another drink and reflect on the good old days when from memory I think you claimed you did marvels  helping run the Auckland Trotting Club .

But if it was my site , and I don't know Leigh the owner ,I would have some of your abuse red flagged with the odd red card or spell given to reflect .

Why ?......I actually have a number of folk suggesting to me that I should post more often .....this suggests to me that these folk are somewhat reluctant to post opinions when the replies get too personal and abusive. 

Just my thoughts.

My predictions for 2021 differ a little from Trumps....

I think Burling/Tuke will steer the AC NZ's way........they have an incredible record at winning allsorts of yacht races and are true humble champions.

And NZ racing will struggle....returns to Owners will continue to struggle to reach 30%. Our horses will still be much sought after.

The negative people in NZ racing will continue to be negative and will continue to highlight every glitch and set back ,while DITTO the Optimists will see the glass half full and spread positivity as it is often in their own best interests to do so..

Boys Get Paid will continue to be a bright spot in NZ Racing.

 

Onya Gaz.A spade is a spade.A few people on here not keen on folk who disagree with them.Now that is never going to work.

Folk aren't going to agree all the time.Tho they nearly did with Labour.

Having a blue by text is a no winner.You can never judge  the sentiment included in the argument.Then it escalates from there.Anyway not normally the end of the world.

Merry Xmas to you and family and a great 2021 for you.I may be Auck way sometime.

And hoping you snare plenty of winners at good odds.

Opinions are like arseholes...everyone has got one. If you are happy with people posting lies, conspiracy theories and the like, a la Trump and his supporters that’s up to you. Frankly these idiots need responding to and I’m not going to apologise for calling them out.

Don’t suffer fools TM, whoever you are. And as for Auckland, it was in a hell of a lot better shape back when than it is now......

Where have I ever said I support Trump (Oz version excluded)? Just love seeing people like you, Idolmite, Uriah etc completely eviscerating yourselves over a political shit-show that has no relevance to NZ and our cosy little marxist enclave. So best you get back in your box and applaud from the sidelines the desecration of what was a USA with potential. And FYI, my nationality is irrelevant and my IQ more than adequate.

Read the Trump thread and see the crap posted on there. My son lives there, hence the interest and concern.

Trump is the worst thing that ever happened to the US, as he is proving on his way out. Only one person to blame for what is happening there.

And the fact that 70m of you lot voted for the scumbag says a lot about how far America has fallen.

My predictions for 2021

1) Mark Walker to leave Singapore and head up a new training stable in Australia for Te Akau.

2) The TAB will make the same mistake (as racing can only do) and appoint an Australian to head it up. (Hopefully because of COVID-19, it won’t happen for sometime, lessening the risk or saving the day)

Surely there can't be many more no-hoper Aussies left to deport to NZ.

1 - another handicapper will be caught betting - on an Aussie account

2- A club administrator will fall from grace big time

3 - An ex jockey will be fined for parking his bentley in a disabled carpark

4 - A leading buyer at Karaka will not be able to pay for his purchases
