  1. No just stating you dont know about riding if you think what Opie did was OK...because he won...sorry I dont agree with that thinking...he needed to straighten his horse up long before the winning post and he never did...thats my point of view and I am sticking to it.Not really bothered what you think as I also think you are talking shit in some of what you say but I refrain from being so crass.
  2. He is emotionally involved as he backed Opies horse.
  3. NO this is from people using it daily...just to put your mind at ease.
  4. I am only telling you what is a fact from what I have been told...so make of it what you will.
  5. You only need to look at Awapuni to know it is different the sand is a different color.... much darker.Not sure if that makes a difference but trainers are having to put oil on the horses so the materials dont stick to them when they work on it.
  6. RJB

    First ride in NZ

    Went way to fast...needs to learn about the pace of races here...sure he will sort it out.
  7. Dont know anything about Cambridge I only mentioned Awapuni as that is the only one I have info on.
  8. I have also been told the track at Awapuni is hard and trainers not keen to let them go at full pace as they feel it and jar up.
  9. I think 10 years was to harsh and over the top...poor guy made a silly mistake but they persecuted him for it...because they could.
  10. Thats what I was meaning actually the witch-hunt to catch him out.
  11. No but I can tell you there were a few sorted out by the others one way or another.
  12. He was thrown to the wolves...ridiculous penalty...and a decent guy who made a mistake.
  13. I rode in over 1000 races...here and in Oz...looking after your fellow riders is an unwritten code ...he never once looked out for them.
  14. yes in the last 20 meters you are right...look where he originally started from all he had to do was change hands with the whip at the 100m mark and maybe none of the carnage would have happened...it was not only the last few meters that the horse layed in it was for more than 100m...
  15. Come on mate moved in bugger all give me a break...we must be looking at different videos.He had only one thing in mind winning nothing else and that is very wrong. There was no consideration given to his fellow riders...but anyway no point banging my head against the wall...cheers.
  16. So two months for reckless riding causing a death seems fair to you...no emotion just fact.
  17. He had shifted in 5 horses or close to it by then.Anyway enough said others can make up their own minds...cheers.
  18. So because you had money on it he was entitled to cause 4 horses to fall...give me a break...He as the pilot is responsible for the flight path...this time his compass went hay wire....talk about no emotion LOL...your pocket is talking Haha.
  19. Dont get me started there....in my opinion and the opinion of many others who have contacted me he was extremely lucky. With his judicial record here and in Australia how he got off so lightly for causing a fatal fall is anyones guess. Just imagine if Taiki had done what Sam did. Dont bury your head in the sand ...there are rules for some and rules for others always have been but thats just the way things are here.
  20. Fact is he is protected and should have got more time for the interference he foley caused...we can agree to disagree on that no emotion involved.
  21. Aussie decision was poor too...but both riders are protected species...just Imagine if Wiremu Pinn had done this ...now that would of been different 100% for certain.Rules for some and rules for others...its not right.
  22. Guerin does not have a clue he actually thought Opie was hard done by...and he said he thought Opie tried to straighten his mount...he had 200 meters before the winning post to do that and did nothing only had one thing on his mind...winning... get rid of Guerin and get Luke back...
  23. Michael Guerin is a muppet to...said Opie corrects his mount...thats BS if he had done that there was no people falling of...trying to be PC and protect the protected.
