I've been thinking. whats the point of scratching penalties. Its the most inconsistently applied rule in nz harness racing.I've posted about it many times listing endless examples. Hopefully someone looks into why the stipes gave roger that no stand down. On the face of it,it appears that preferential treatment has been given,simply because the trainer is a big name and possibly Hrnz were complicit in the deception. thats what it appears anyway. Its a very,very poor look. If not,simply state why. -

i think the thing that frustrates the punters about tu tangata,is they don't know whether nairn is trying and just isn't much of a driver,or whether hes not trying and is trying to drop in the grades.My guess would be the later,although who can be really sure either way. Either way there is a down side to how that horse often gets driven which would frustrate anyone that bets on it. I always think he should put one of those claiming drivers on and just take the half penalties every time it wins and try everytime. the handicapping system is so biased in the favour of junior drivers over the likes of drivers like nairn. But at the end of the day,its his horse.
