  • I have never seen a meeting where basically you looked what horse was supported at fixed odds, and watched it roll to the front. The Millennials drivers seem to know which ones to hand upto or sit off when in the death. The Gen Z drivers magically f…
  • Gil, been going there forever, never ever seen a crowd like last night, it was an outstanding promotion by the club for it's 75th Anniversary. Like being in side show alley at the Royal Show. The Tote Area was jam packed, 8 machines operating with q…

  • $750 fine, were is the 4 weeks for the first turn and more for a group race. If I was Aiden I would be fumming at the double standards at the park its just a joke............. The $114.840 prizemoney should cover that ...........
  • Goodfellaz & Ardens Horizon are a bit stiff to miss out in my opinion. Maybe that is why Goodfellaz is in the free for all. Soho Dow Jones ran last in the FFA last week and got in, a horse who hasnt won in 9 starts.
  • It is good that Zaaki is here, at least it might help the eastern states tune in. Would it be worth running the race earlier, say race 6 ( 6.30pm vic, nsw time) pretty much straight after eastern state races finish? This would have to help turnover …
  • Hi Rocket , How much bigger???  Look at where Gloucester Park is? 5 mins from the CBD? How far is Melton and Menangle from the CBD? 
  • In WA there are very good crowds always at Collie, Wagin and Bridgetown. Pinjarra complex is full most Mondays.
  • Turnover would have to be down, The Railway was ran at 9pm eastern states time,
  • Its like Aiden interference, Hes been suspended 3 times in the last few weeks. Group 1 , group 2, but in the cup the twitter keyboarders wanted him relagated?  Dlyan holds out a fav for the stablemate, not a good look , fav gets beat, stablemate win…
  • You wouldnt have wanted an inside barrier yesterday? Every other meeting, leader bias bar Melbounre cup day ( rail out 12mts ?)? One or the other, trainers jockeys owners musnt be happy
  • Now is the oppuntunity for the stewards to read the riot acts to the drivers. Let they know 1st corner intererence - say minimum 28 days, double in a group race.You contact a horse legs at any time in a race - 14 days including 2 friday nights. The …
  • I dont whats happened to the mobile in the home straight but it used to favour the outside horses. Now alot of barrier 1 seem to be getting crossed but miracously kick through to lead. So you would think 1 could hold if he wanted to. And you wouldnt…
  • Very hot very windy there yesterday.
  • Look it did have the setback - so that wouldnt have helped its cause  My opinion is he let it roll too early - 1st qtr of the last mile 30.2 - all good - why not bank another 30 second qtr - 28.7 too quick  Go as slow as you can for as long as you c…
  • Odin Tavern is pretty good. Plenty of machines and plenty of screens to watch. 
  • munching on a sambo i did the following:melb to horsham = 300k, to the bool 250k and kyneton a leisurely 90khow the pharque do they do it? hire a light plane? Yendell has an apartment in Southbank and a house in Horsham.
  • Why can Moonee Valley get decent crowds to Friday night racing, when The trots were on Friday night they couldnt? Same venue.On at the same time,Charge the same price for admission. Charge the same price for drinks. Yes, races have a bigger followin…
  • I asked a couple of months ago but no one had any real answers......
  • Yes i know , Kellaberrin should be shut Please enligthen us with your reasoning. Horrendous turnover a million miles away and expensive to run, need any more? And you still race your horses there =D>
  • The Oaks was a great race last night Well done to August Moon on the win - but i thought the run of the 2nd horse Turn The Page  was outstanding - 3 wide no cover last 1000 - 57.4 last half mile - and boy was it doing it tough - not many horses can …
  • Lets compare R class racing to $ HWOE racing 5 years apart. 7/10/2018 R class handicapping. 9 races, 10 horses in 7 races, 9 in 1 race, 8 in 1 race. 9/10/2023 $HWOE handicapping. 7 races, 10 horses in 4 races, 9 in 1 race, 6 in 1 race, 5 in 1 race. …
  • And one thing that has to be taken into account is this handicapping system was in place when covid hit ( where turnover increased by a large %  due to covid restrictions). 
  • The whole point is that under both these so called handicap systems, Harness Market share continues to plummet to hithertoo never seen depths...well under 12 % of overall turnover and returning now 42 cents in the dollar on stakes paid. It is unsust…

  • What do the jockeys think? Pike is on a get back horse, lets all go flat out so we are sitting ducks in the straight.
  • Fault for hitting the wheel was not apportioned to M.Brown: General:  Drivers M Brown (CHEER THE MAJOR NZ) and D Roberts (LUSAKA NZ) were interviewed in relation to the reason for CHEER THE MAJOR NZ racing roughly and losing ground after completin…
  • Well you rate some drivers highly - and you just dont rate some other drivers anywhere near as highly Ive got no idea what was going on their  Stewards report would seem to be no fault of the driver in the circumstances. Was not M.Browns night So…
  • Yep. another Demo Derby, the favourite perfectly driven to be one out one back  got cleaned up and the one that "eased out" ran 57 metres second  last. It's like going to the Motorplex, a boon for turnover? Not ideal, but the leader rolled off th…
  • Anyone fair and reasonable would acknowledge - that the ease out rule is a very very tough and hard rule for the stewards to adjudicate on - as to what is acceptable and what isnt  Interesting their last paragraph re stewards report race 8 - " Both …
