    • New Year’s Day didn’t go to plan for David Eustace, but the British trainer can get back on track with a first Group Three success in Hong Kong if Colourful King reigns supreme in Sunday’s Bauhinia Sprint Trophy (1,000m). Eustace had to settle for close seconds courtesy of Sea Sapphire and Majestic Delight on Thursday, while one of his stable stars, Light Years Charm, could only manage eighth as one of the leading fancies in the Group Three Chinese Club Challenge Cup (1,400m). The 34-year-old...View the full article
    • This is what app should look like, first time in ages was going to deposit… in the end got aussie mate to place bets, Betcha glitches …. Oh dear
    • The standing starts in the South Island are atrocious and yet they continue to program them? Over the Xmas period there have been far too many false starts and are consistently inconsistent! How on earth the starter is allowed to continue to dish up this amateur stuff is really quite disturbing for the harness industry! And yet a driver is over vigorous in the Stipes opinion gets fined or suspended, but the employees of HRNZ are allowed to get away with substandardness?
    • the jca ruling into a 2-3 second delay of the 10m tape being released in the motukarara christmas cup,made for interesting reading. Apparently,a 2-3 second delay is perfectly normal acocrding to the stipes and the jca has no isssue with such delays. k butt,the driver of kiss the girls noted her horse went to move when the front tape was released,but because her 10m tape hadn't been released due to a 2-3 second delay ,with the starters assistant i guess still waiting for the smoke signal,,she felt her horse was inconvienenced and that the delay was primarily the reason why her horse broke. you can also see iin the video the 20m horses were moving before the 10m horses and they too had to hesitate when they came up behind the 10m horses in front of them.  apparently the 2-3 second delaywasn't normal for that tape as it went at the right time. What was also noticeable at the time was a horse on the 20m ,as per normal at motukarara,had to side step a starters assistant standing directly in front of it after the start,with the starters assistant  unsure which way to go so as not to get run over.That confused the horse and driver who was about to run him/her over. and it also appeared a starters assisatnt at the back of the field was doing some stretching exercises as he held his hands up high. Maybe he had noticed the delay and was trying to signal something. Someone may need to tell him a 2-3 second delay is normal. and it raises the question,if the starter,the stipes and the jca think its fine to have a 2-3 second delay,why did they have a false start at westport a couple of days before.After all the same thing happened there. Also,the stipes report from westport noted the satrters assitants werwe given advice about that. Was the advise,don't worry about a 2-3 second delay.,as its perfactly normal and acceptable.If it wasn't and was advice on how to release a tape at the same time as the starter does,well i dunno,but whoever the starters assitants are,they didn't get the memo. the whole thing just sounds ridiculous,but its what happened.
