Hesi Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I always thought he was a hugely negative big mouth. But reading some of his posts of late, he has a huge amount of in depth thoroughbred experience. Looks like he is about to go the way of most others. Someone want to invite him to come over here and share his wealth of knowledge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree that he has some historical knowledge but he wants to live in the past. Like many he cant accept that with Pokies, Casinos etc racing was always going to be challenged for the leisure dollar. For a more recent example ask anyone how Singapore is going post casino opening there. Think Rugby ,Racing and Beer- all in massive decline. For all of that group its a case of adapt or decline.. Harness looks to be following the latter IMO Edited January 22, 2022 by Addington 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He appears to have no racing interests these days but that might be due to no trainers wanting his patronage😘 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense re her felt her organs move. Like heart palpations you can feel your heart pumping. Scary stuff. Looking at car lucky to walk away.
