No argument there Maybeso. Food was sensational.

Remember going there as a kid for Harvey Cup I think.
Don’t know who the cooks in the kitchen were but would say they were of European background and to this day I still remember that food.
Then there was York with the wood fired bbqs and Northam with the butcher looking bloke and his hot daughters in the little brick building sware was 10 x 6 foot, pumping out the best steak burgers in the land.
I loved there burgers but geez would have married one of his daughters in a heartbeat.
Who was that family anyone know.

Is this a good advertisment for Harness Racing, with such short price favourites at $1.12, $1.18 with the others no chance on those prices. ?

The only wierd thing today Hall's $2.60 winner paid $ 6.20 on the tote that is very abnormal differential

Any ideas why GP meetings on Tuesdays are treated like they are a protected species? The premise of running a premier midweek meeting at GP is quickly becoming farcical.

We have had a meeting not held due to lack of noms, several meetings with sub-par race numbers with few full fields, and a seeming lack of catering to horse numbers in classes that could easily be filled.

Today sees another less than stellar turnout; 6 races with fields of 8,8,11,9,8, and 7. How can this be good for turnover?

less horses now with 6 scratching, looks like they split the last 2 races as well, lucky to have a meeting at all.

Factors affecting Tuesday Nominations

Mid Week - those with employment outside of the industry with work commitments unable to attend
Temperature 38*
Programmed races may not be the best available to suit pool of available horses (program has not been fluid and evolving enough)
A lot of Meetings on with Double meeting Fridays,Sat,Sun,Monday which account for approx 500 horses from the pool of horses racing
current pool of horses low

Most likely horses available for Nominations would be

A - Those consistently attending a Tuesday same horses week in week out from local metro or professional full-time trainers
B -Those balloted from other meetings programmed Friday/Sat/Mon which come from the bottom of the FSP table
C- Those Balloted from Community meetings which would come from the top of the FSP table

In Summary the Format for provision of available horse pool for Monday/Tuesday is flawed to turn this around they would need to have a stronger pool of horses available and have the Top FSP (field selection points) from country races and Bottom FSP from metro races available for Provincial Mon/Tue meetings,which is a tough thing to do because people want to head hunt the easy races in the country(everyone does it ),

Theory of expansion of ascending order selection for Country and Community(already in Ascending order ) meetings would work to boost their numbers as people with in form High FSP horses are more likely to travel to Pinjarra,Bunbury,GP than those out of form (which is what they currently expect and program for with the L5$ LT races) ,it would create more competitive fields at all tracks due to a better balance of horses in the divided pools

I also think GP every Tuesday is too much and at a minimum it should be split week to week with Bunbury reducing travel component for a majority of the industry ,they say GP has better turnover than Bunbury so they wont budge and wont give up the meetings at GP Tuesday ,are they doing the right thing for the industry by holding onto them if they cant fill them hoping numbers will increase when the number of available meetings are reduced or number of horses spelled as a cause of the PBD/$L3 and change of season

savethegame · February 23

1471 individual horses raced last season.----availability of approx. 400 per week needed for fields of 10 --- 5 meetings--- 8 races about 30% is required then who fits were is the hard part.to cater for the bands & age racing ---etc.etc to program------.decent cards----.dishing up tripe tonight.

curmudgeon · February 23

2 x 4 y/o and up maidens at Albany on Fri....19 acceptors.

21 x 3y/o + maiden nominations for Northam Sat night.

GP is the only track in Australasia that doesn't run open age maidens

JimmyPop · February 23

How is embarrassing is South Australian harness racing. They cannot even name the track - Port Pirie.

savethegame · February 23

Two differentt meetings four races from port pirie---and three races from Mount Gambier hence called South Australia to avoid confusion for the punters. thats how bad its got.there

G'day Punter!
