James Goodman

Nice interview that I saw last night on TT...James Goodman and Graeme Hawkins...he told Graeme like it is(tu)(tu)

Will try and catch txs, both good racing men IMO

What I appreciated is that he told Graeme that they are not openly available via a forum(or the likes) etc...so that questions may be put to them. Graeme had pertinent answers...something that all interested Clanners should watch.(tu)

Glad some of u could watch and the show will be on the winning ways website via Facebook next Monday. Graeme really is a pleasure to interview. He is a great friend but is quite forthright and we do have our differences of opinion!! We have had many long and heated/involved arguments and I can say without doubt he is one of the best administrators in racing, open minded and fair.

It is why I would love to see him handle the E-Mail section............honest ,forthright and, importantly, not defensive!

Is MDK a better trainer or a better businessman?
Why is a horse like Richard's grace in the 2nd tomorrow at the Vaal allowed to race??? have no idea where the trainer is based but I believe 'out of towners' get an allowance (around R700/horse???... please help here) to send their horses there. 37 runs and the last 7 have gone off at 28/1 or better. Is this training or taking advantage of the system?

Are you backing this horse tomorrow..... No.... so why is it running. Who is benefitting? The trainer or the horse (Must be the horse - gets his oats and exercise). The trainer has 5 runners for the day with the following stats (including the res in the 8th): 82 runs, 15 places, 2 wins...

I will never back his horses, nor Goodman's or Laff's. They can win without my money. My opinion.

Good God you HAVE GOT TO BE BLOODY JOKING !? MDK is in a different league face it and get used to it.........
WELL SAID CHAINSAW...

Bruma ..he is top div but one always has to take way below the odds simply because it's a MDK horse...OTT is not alone in his thinking i know of many punters that play to beat Mike's horses often to their own demise..but they also have had decent pay days adopting there stratergy

I think the majority of people will understand the decisions if they are presented the scenario...

Rob, Scotia and the good...thank you for the positive words....may we go forward from here....(tu)

Hi Titch... i also fell into that category of taking on the MDK horses on betfair much to the deriment of my bank acc...... backing a 1/1 money winner is surely better then backing a 6/1 loser.... imho i believe tht MDK is a living legend ...

btw,im glad that im finally on ABC....

the names Adrian. until very recently i owned horses in a small yard

MAY 2013 BE A GREAT YEAR FOR ABC...

Hi there bruma....(tu)pick the winner...the price doesn't matter...(tu)
I still own a small yard....

When I said that it wasn't meant directly at James but in general. James is shrewd enough with his expensive cigars and his Savil row tailored suits, don't lose sleep over that.
