    No Racing Tonight: Sky told HRV there was no room for Victorian Harness Races to be covered on Sky tonight. with the extra Thoroughbred meetings on there was no time slot available for us and unfortunately they have more pull than we do. So Melton was moved to today & Mildura are now racing on Tuesday

    Amour Maternal galloped under pressure over the concluding stages when first past the post and in accordance with VLR155(1)(A) given the mare was being covered by AT THE DISTANCE at the time was placed one position behind that runner with the new numbers of 4 – 2 – 6 – 7.


    Under the circumstances surely that rule is ridiculous.
    Evidently if a horse breaks 1mm from the finish and another horse is within one length  the breaker is relegated behind that horse, Still can't accept it as a credible rule.

    Memo to the people in charge (Hopefully they see this)

    Could the replay for race 5 at Narrogin last night be added to harness.org.au as I part own a horse that was in the race.

    Thank You

    Here is the link Cisco off Racing WA site:


    Replays are up much quicker on Racing WA site, go to "race calendar" tab and then the weeks meetings (all codes) become accessible.

    So, a mate has a neddy into night at Albany it is now 10.14am WST & just went to check it's price, there is still no Fixed Market up at Tabtouch or Sportsbet.  

    Here we have an ailing industry, but no incentive for people to have a bet. Should be a ruling Markets must be up at least 12 hours prior to a meeting

    Some fantastic bonus prizemoney coming up tonight for the champ Swayzee , under that brilliant NSW Country Cup concept/series , and the only reason they have that  rich Country Cups series , is they sold HP and that funded it and plenty of other things 

    Its won the Parkes Cup and the Young Cup they were both  60k races , if it wins tonights Tamworth Cup ( run in conjunction with their big Country musical festival ) another 60k race - and its $1.04 fave then its guarnteed a 250k bonus , if it then wins the Albury Cup  the bonus becomes 500k and if  it then makes a clean sweep in the 5th and final leg at Penrith then the bonus is 1 million dollars

    Just viewing the Twitter feed from Pinjarra and the visual presentation by some drivers is a disgrace. Those in charge of the feed shouldn't let them go to air and the Stewards should also take an interest.
  • warrenrobinsonwarrenrobinson    262 posts
    Disgrace is being kind i would say grubby. Stewards set a dress code but don't police it. RWWA is a total failure and until a Parliamentary Inquiry is held into the management of RWWA nothing will change.

    Not a great look, just like the behaviour of some participants on course, very very unprofessional

    Any specific incident Kyle?
  • Chopchop43Chopchop43    305 posts
    Just instances of unprofessionalism from certain participants towards other participants, I mean I regarded such instances as grubbier than drivers choices of attire at a race meeting but just my opinion

    Incidents where participants are laying hands on other participants

    Well they want to be very careful with that , well probably not in slack old WA , but in other states where the rules are applied with a bit of force

    In Vic a couple of years ago , M Bellman an ok freelance driver , i think it was at Geelong , and a lady driver was doing up her shoelace or something , and Bellman flicked his whip near her backside , and she didnt take too kindly to that and complained to the stewards , Bellman argued it was a joke and produced a stack of references , but the stewards said its totally unacceptable behaviour and your getting 4 months suspension 

    And of course the very lenient application of multiple drug indiscretions in WA ,well in NSW recently  at a non descript race at Albury Trots a trainer got pinged for a 6th career drug violation , only a Class 3 drug , but the stewards said to him you can have 9 years disqualification 

    If tough justice like that ever got applied in WA it would have a few quivering in their boots

    i think the facts of the situation are pretty well known and the stewards handed out an appropriate punishment

    yea didn't paint the industry in a good professional light I mean participants have the right to go to the trots and not get harassed right ??
