In the same vein rule breaches by drivers in races, regardless of the stake of the race, are also a form of cheating; as is an unapproved/unofficial gear change made by a trainer. In the interests of integrity, all should be dealt with severely. N…

Fair call Chopchop43, but there is the big Animal Welfare issue of racing babies with immature bodies (& minds).

Hi Marko, I agree wholeheartedly re your comments about racing babies. We haven't had a baby horse in about 20 years, having spent most of the intervening time plus prior to that, rehabbing & racing "has-beens". Living & training in country…

Jay Jay, my 2yr old filly was one of those 47 babies that raced in the W/B heats. She is now having a short let up to recharge her baby brain, before having another prep. I presume other babies are doing similar. You have to remember that these are…

" I'll retreat into my hole now Regards :))" Should have read I'll retreat into my hole now :)) Regards I am still learning how to post and edit on this forum so forgive my error as the laughing face emoticon was in the wrong place...

Yes a great achievement to get a A class (metro) B class (country) drivers licence off of 2 or so drives the year before, when needing 25 drives and 10 drives for A or B. Yes, Frog, I agree with you re driving requirements and the inequality of …

Why should we penalise celebrations? Harness racing is already maligned for being a dim sport, so why must we strive to eliminate any potential entertainment/drawcard of the industry? Hi On The Bridle, I'm sure most would not begrudge a celebration…

So just out of curiosity @LightningJake what exactly about that post do you dislike ?? Simple. I don't think a horse that made it to that mark should be able to drop back that far. What about the connections of the other horses? I know of owners…

Both systems are universally hated by the people who are using them so damned if we do revert to the nr system damned if we don't, in my opinion I'd be quiet happy to keep the one we got Tend to agree. Sometimes it's better the devil you know than …

With regard to downgrading driving licences, I was informed yesterday by the stewards that I can no longer keep my C class driver's licence because I only had 2 trial drives in the last year and I need to do a minimum of 10 a year. I am a hobby tra…

Bunbury abandoned due to track condition. We had a horse in the 4th. We were driving from Wagin & had reached Collie when a driver rang me to let us know. 10 minutes later, RWWA sent a text msg thru! That driver's call saved us 20 minutes of dr…

Oops, sorry, posted before I typed my reply! I thought computers only did what they were programmed to do (by a human), with the data that is entered by a human? So it begs the question...who entered the equations and the data?

Decision has been reversed as of this morning, "computer glitch" was the reason. Unplaced horses back to $150 and first 5 placings revert to previous distribution.

Good to have you on board and posting - and all the best to the Wagin Trotting Club Just a few questions - if i can ask you them Dont know the exact number of meetings you have - but say your club wanted 2-3 more meetings a year - or it was trying …

Big crowd on course, dining room and bar packed all night. This club has got its act together. In terms of atmosphere, catering and promotion it puts Johnny Burt's Fun Palace in the shade. Excellent night. Nice to meet you at Wagin, JayJay. Than…
