    Wayne. Thank you for making an otherwise boring day of overtime an entertaining and enlightening one. I look forward to more of your gems in the future. I know harness/monte racing will be better for them.

Seems your also a bit bitter that you didn't know anything about how saddles can roll and slip and when it was politely explained to you by the new idiot that knows nothing your now going to start saying silly things about betting on a race 4 months ago and your probably going to look even sillier than you are so i will finish up for the day now so if you want to just write 1 more snarly childish thing and get the last word in well now would be the best time. cheers everyone. I hope we all learned something today. I certainly did,
    Wayneo, interesting that you bag out Maree for being unbalanced, and not have the strength and professionalism etc due to her ride on Andys Fav, and you and everybody in the pub laughed at the incompetent rider as if an unprofessional joke, however,

    even more interesting that you haven't apologised on here, or at least admitted that initial analysis was wrong because you and the people in the pub did not know a fairly important fact about the saddle slipping off CAUSING her to look like a rider of bad balance strength etc...

    So rather than admit that, you deflected some contrived bollocks onto Lucky/Leigh, where you, the now educated one about a saddle failure go on to explain whatever it was you believe to have happened, rather than say, you know what, i was wrong. That takes innate confidence, not some hollow bravado.

    Also, comparing a fast trot like these standarbreds do in the Monte, to a smooth gallop that G.Boss sits on all day, they are totally different rides. Bossy's rides are smooth, a trot is certainly not. Do yourself a favour, go get some horse riding experience and you will more appreciate how hard it is, and understand.
    now correct me if i am wrong but if riding "long" is so terrible and inefficient, what do you call how the winning rider D.Douglas rides? Looks long to me, and bugger me dead, he won!
    Wayneo, this aint Flemington and as Toohard mentioned Monte racing is very much in its infancy in Australia so aint got many experienced monte riders here, there isn't enough races to encourage a half decent TBred jockey or ex jockey to try make a living off them cos they just wouldn't earn any money. So whats the answer? We do what we are doing and slowly in time those involved get better and grow too.
    Have a look at how many horses in the race anyway, 7, and 4 were virtually from the same stable Chris Lang. He is the driving force and backbone of Monte. He is maybe the most passionate Australian Trainer who loves the square gaiter the most. He is the driving force behind most of the American bred TROTTERS and European influence coming to Oz. And Monte racing is part of that, and thats what all these people involved are trying to do.

    That is, advance the TROTTING part of Harness racing in Australia to follow in the path of Europe where it is pretty much ALL trotting, NO PACING! He wants our standard of trotter to be improved, lifted up and held in the same regard as Europe.
    Thats Chris's passion and a bunch of owners and breeders that support him.
    And i believe we all saw an improved level of squaregaiting across the board last night as a great example of how much all those people are achieving that goal.

    Thanku.
    So whats the answer to Australian Monte racing from Wayne?
    Where are you instantly going to get riders of that level next week?
    As i said in my previous post, we don't have enough monte races for a "monte" specialist rider to earn a living!!!!!!!!!!!!
    So we all eagerly wait your answers Wayne, i hope Chris Lang will be able to read them. Maybe you could email your suggestions to him thru his website, i am sure he will put all suggestions into place and be highly appreciative, particularly due to the high respect he will have of your horsemanship and experience.

    Maorisidol apolagise for what. I have not changed my opinion about anything since the 1st time I watched the race. We all know that monte is new in Australia and its not Flemington and the horses are different bla bla bla. I didn't write that stuff because I am laughing at the sport and bagging it and being a smart ass. I am writing what happened when that race at melton came on the tv 4 months ago. I am not making it up. If I had of watched that race at globe derby when that horse ran backwards and another bolted for the entire race I would of cracked up laughing at that as well. I don't know why some people on here don't see that some people are just not meant work with horses in the capacity that they work with them. That's not insulting anyone that is just being for real. I am a hopless runner and swimmer so I don't bother to do either. I hate cats soi don't go near them. I wouldn't be able to run a restaurant so I have never bothered to apply for a job running a restaurant. If someone sees me run up the road and they were to say to me your a very slow runner I don't get upset and demand an opology and than go to my mates house and get them to fill me up with lies about how I am a fast runner and if I keep trying one day I will make the Olympics. How many years are you going to tell people that comment on monte racing that its just a new sport and its not Flemington and all that other stuff you said. Im sure them girls that ride the montes are all lovely people and very caring and all the rest. But the replays don't lie.

    You still are missing the point.
    You and the drunks people in the pub were laughing at Maree and how you perceived her incompetence of not even being able to sit on a horse.
    You asked, do these people just turn up, assuming that due to the woman you saw that was "so bad" (my words) anyone can turn up and ride at Melton,

    This is the point Wayne,
    your assessment was based on a woman trying to sit on a saddle that was broken!!!!! It was slipping and she was hanging on for dear life.
    and as you might be able to imagine, that makes it difficult for even Glen Boss to do.

    So if someone who sees Glen ride for the very first time, not even knowing his name, and the saddles comes loose and he falls off, is it fair to say he is a crap rider, what is he doing there?
    You have also been made aware of posts on this thread of Maree winning a Monte race with no faulty gear.
    So your assessment of her was based on faulty equipment which totally is not fair, as it would not be fair to assess Glen the same way.
    However again, you have not shown that you have the ability to admit you made a mistake.
