SA Footy

well we all know what mal carries on about (it is a wonder he bets at all with all of his concerns) but trainer peter tonkin (robin hood) is very happy to travel back to victoria on sunday then come back on friday next for the final & he has no problems with the travelling so why has mal ??

yeah i know we'll see how robin hood goes first

I havent a problem with horses travelling you ninkumpoop.
Horses travel all over Australia and win races.
Its been happening for a long time.

ITS WHEN THEY TRAVEL AND RACE 3 TIMES IN A WEEK THAT CONCERNS ME.

BAYMAN 1 admire your courage under immense fire battling against the odds
and trying to make a case for these poor battle weary horses but your on your own.
Every trainer, every punter, every Bookie, every body with a 25% brain capacity
knows that this carnival is unfair to the horses.

IF YOU REFUSE TO BELIEVE ME WHY ARE THAY REVAMPING THE SERIES NEXT YEAR

You are a pal, an expert form student BUT like the 300 Spartans , you will lose this battle


ONE LAST QUESTION ...Why didnt Tonkins take the horse home this week and bring it back

my question is if you trained ROBIN HOOD who will probably be fav for the final, why would you bother driving back to victoria on sunday and then travelling back on friday?? why wouldnt you just keep the horse here?????

im a little

surely you would leave the horse here FFS!!!!! WADH

If you could all possibly beleive this BAYMAN told me on course
tonight that Robin Hood went home THIS WEEK

I still find it hard to believe it would go home in between wed 3/1/07+ sat 6/1/07
If it did questions need to be asked.

It ran 5th in a field of 8 as well.

NOW WHO IS RIGHT TONKIN OR MAL

MAL is always right!!!

BORN TO BURN
------------------

Owned by an old work mate and racing these days in Victoria.
If we want to have a crack at trainers, what about this horse.

Wednesday wins at Terang at big odds.
Ran tonight at Mt Gambier in a non TAB meeting
RUNNING SUNDAY AT HORSHAM

What the.....

it needed the racing its getting fit for next week when it is 4 days successively

Mal - the horse is no good, lets be honest.. so it's obviously going super on this day to day racing.. another really good 3rd today, the travel can't be effecting him too much!

mal is wrong as robin hood ran 4th

The press this week has said that Robin Hood is under investigation
for having a leg injury, officials are wanting to test the horse.

The article also stated that internet sites have been spreading rumours about the horse
BAYMAN you are responsible

I CANT UNDERSTAND HOW HORSES COULD BE INJURED RUNNING 3 TIMES IN 8 DAYS

ADVERTISER 09/01/07
ADAM HAMILTON

Key Interdominion finalist ROBIN HOOD has been cleared to contest the $ 500,000 race
Adelaide has beenabuzz with rumours the Victorian star had a HOOF problem and was
in doubt to take his spot saturday night.
The rumours reached Harness Racing SAs chairman of stewards Gerald lalor, who ordered
a thorouh vet inspection of Robin Hood yesterday.
With trainer Peter Tonkin having taken Robin Hood back to his Ballarat stables,Lalor enlisted
the help of respected vet surgeon Bruce Sidebottom.
"Im still awaiting Bruces full report, but hes meticulous and told me over the phone Robin
Hood was fine" Lalor said...........

Tonkin was furious with the rumours and subsiquent scrutiny of Robin Hood.
" I dont know how this bull.... starts, he said.
" Im telling you now the horse is spot on."
" Sure hes had his problems in the past with a hoof, but its something we manage
and it is not a problem"...........

" THEN EVERYBODY WANTED TO READ SOMETHING INTO ME TAKING HIM BACK TO BALLARAT."
" I was always going to do that. I'd much rather have him back home in his paddock for
the week between the last roubd of heats and the final."

BAYMAN I heard an unsubstantiated story that Robin Hood had a coldie in the 3rd heat
because in fact the horse had a leg injury.
I heard that story before the press release.
The information came from a very prominent harness racing identity
IF THATS RIGHT PUNTERS DID THIER MONEY COLD AND THATS WHAT YOU GET
RACING HORSES 3 TIMES IN 8 DAYS.[as I keep telling bayman ]

Also just maybe someone is reading into SAFOOTY to start ""rumours"

we said nothing about being injured or sore so i dont think it's us & it is a vic journalist so he'd know nothing about safooty etc

BAYMAN why wouldnt a vic journo know about this site, afterall this site goes far and wide around our world, and many contributors here are from interstate

well why haven't they adheard to mals complaints of the ridiculous prices & no form ?? i know the form answer (it costs money & time & the paper has restraints) but mals prices ??? well maybe we (mal,mt,dutchy & myself etc should not put our thoughts or tips up here as they're getting paid & we're doing the work)

BAYMAN how about a comment on the actual article:

Your dreaming if you think the media and players do not read or hear
about the views on SAFOOTY.[I will not name who I know]
