      “the Race by Betcha” - What do harness participants think?

      By Brodie · Posted

      Good to see support for the slot races. Not sure the exact figure that the race is subsidised from the industry coffers, but no doubt it is not inconsequential. Does it attract new people into the industry as owners or punters, highly doubt it especially seem the race is in Cambridge where there is dwindling interest in the area. Anything that is beneficial for harness racing is great and we certainly much need it. Hopefully it will get people talking and punters  offloading but wouldnt be holding my breath.

      No doubt it adds Aus/NZ interest and gathers exciting fields but there is no way the turnover will pay for it. Good as a viewing spectacle but will it entice people to open their wallets. I am not so sure. I think getting some fields like this during Cup week would be more beneficial especially if the Aussies bought some stablemates over for the supporting races. Turn Cup week into two weeks of high quality fields and have an Australian/NZ drivers championship at the same time.

      Joanne & the doctor

      By The Centaur · Posted

      It was the way she responded. Doctor Askar apparently is a doctor at Hamilton that saved her sons life. She asked him if she could name the horse after him and he was a bit taken aback. But agreed even though he thought he'd never struck something like that not really being a racing fan. As I said it was the tone of the interview hilarious but also emotional. All participants in the interview fitted in naturally including Joe Doyle obviously a gifted speaker. Contrast that to some interviews particularly Bevan Sweeney who just put words into the interviewee's mouth and they just agree in order to be polite.

      ReBORN soon in July TABman, with 2 heats instead of 3 to qualify for the final, which what was killing it.  There will be 2 past Championship winners competing . 'Leap To Fame' and 'DON Hugo'. They will scare off a lot of the kiwis. NZ hasn't been the same since Allstars retired during Covid times. (The brand that sent Lazarus and Smolda to Australia for the Interdominion and WON ) and weren't pussies like they are these days.  The Interdominion Final here in Brisvegas for the next 3 years. Come have a July holiday , and I'll shout you and Greg O'connor (what a fabulous harness man that bloke is) a 'Coffee' or 2.

      The runners PAY a BIG chunk of the prizemoney themselves.  Doesn't cost the industry much at all to run $1,000,000 races.  The Industry is Looooving It . 👍😍 The BETCHA, The Eureka, The kiwi,  The Nullibor, The TAB trot, The Protostar, The Ascent, The Velocity !!! win win winwin win win  Brodster. It's called Buying a Slot .you can't buy one mate as they are too POPular and they go like Hot-cakes. and you're showing up as a bit of a DINOSAUR here, not able to adjust with the current way of assembling GReat Fields of the Best.  GET with the Program Mate. You are the Only one doesn't give a damn . But you do really . as you wrote about it !! on ya mate . Enjoy the Fantastic Racing and watch out for the BIG Queenslander next Friday.   Addington had a FANTASTIC new Slot for 3 year old trotters and 3 year old Pacers on Show day. They could race in $500,000 races because of this fantastic incentive.  well done NZ Metro club Introducing those !!! 🏆🏆💰💰 Brisbane put on a $500,000 slot for 2 yearold's as well . They went 1.50. last year. Plenty of incentive to run lol.
