Rough tips and other bets...

Yeah I hadnt actually based on my thoughts on anything I'd read. It was just feel from that 'tactical' nature you point out. It makes sense though.

There was an awful story on Stuff ''suggesting'' at race fixing being under investigation by NZ police. It didn't mention harness racing by name, but contacted the NZ harness trainers/drivers association for comment. Naturally, through the grapevine, names have got out, but all industry figures have denied any knowledge, and the Stuff follow-up earlier this week was the shittiest piece of non-journalism I've read in a long time - sadly, from a journalist I previously respected.

Hey what ever happened to that Chicago Bull? Havent seen around for a bit (like I said I dont follow Harness much) but recall seeing it last year a bit and it was pretty much unbeatable at the time. Odds were super short so never back but had a mate who kept sticking his account on it until one day...

He's back at his best over in Western Australia - won the Fremantle & WA Pacing Cups for a tidy A$480K stakes in two nights' work.

@Hooroo I see Peaky Blinders is running this weekend...still worth a punt?

[Hooroo]

Yes mate. Going well at the moment

[JK]

I see Opie on board for this race. What's reason re rider change?

fast and furious has to be the big danger. Well drawn and leith

[JK]

Any tips for the derby this arvo?

I'm very stuck between sacred elixir and saville row but not overly confident on either

And then there is something telling me to have a go on Excalibur...but it could just be the odds

[Smudge]

Peaky Blinders gets up in a $50K race! Get in. I had it in the quaddie so hopefully races 4 & 5 fall the right way.

Well done to true-love, @Hooroo

[JK]

Awesome result. Drifted on tote nicely too so a lovely little collect.

Well done Rob and Kylie

[taniwharugby]

I used the last of my $$$ in my TAB account on Peaky, so at least I dont need to top up again for another couple of weeks...

COngrats to you both @Hooroo

[Hooroo]

THE PEAKY BLINDERS!!!!!!!

[Hooroo]

Got a fucking horse kick of a hangover. So worth it.
Phone going red hot due to the way he won.
I think he may be sold shortly which gives me mixed emotions

[JK]

Pretty amazing day on the punt yesterday

Bet on 11 races across here and Aus for 8 wins, 1 juicy odds place and 2 misses (both on the derby at ellerslie...gingernuts was a sign that I clearly missed!)

Had a real solid nrl multi too come in

[JK]

Hopefully that win adds a bit to the price then @Hooroo ??

Very much so. Glad sale fell through last month as we don't need to set a price now. Kylie doesn't really want to sell so we can dig our toes in a bit

@Hooroo what a finish!

[Hooroo]

@taniwharugby

Hard not to get too excited about ya own horse but how he ate them up in a few strides was pretty fabulous to watch

[taniwharugby]

@Hooroo I hadn't checked the horse number before watching so was just watching the other ones at the front expecting it to be one of them, then see Peaky Blinder tear up from the outside!

[Hooroo]

It's cool looking at the shadow of the horses on the turn and you can see he is nearly two lengths last

[JK]

It was such a good run. Just came flying home.

Very classy

[Hooroo]

Have two running round today. One a clients and one ours (Naples)

Naples in race 5 is worth a place bet and Money Never Sleeps is just to watch at this stage (Race 1) as he may need distance but this will be gopod for experience.
