well the 3rd place was different when used to seeing him win I guess. But the first 2 Placegetters last night in Vic Cup had good draws and have been in scintillating form themselves. I tipped Hi Mynameisjeff straight out on this thread above as has been going 1.49 lately , and he nearly stole the race but Kingman who also has been running big 1.53 wins ( 3 times lately over 2300m) and with Australia's best trainer driver was always going to be hard to beat. Luke McCarthy is a Mark Purdon 'clone' really. I hope Leap To Fame still goes to NZ. he would add some spice to the Cup , even though Republican Party looks like he deserves this Big win after several great runs over past year. (including the dominant 3200m stand Auckland Cup) the Interdominion type contests (Aus v NZ) are just so good as always. A highlight of the sport. -

@the galah I've had numerous complaints about @Forbury 's past posts and some of them have been quite frankly disgusting. Those without short memories can remember his posts about Ben Hope for example that went far too far. Many of his posts have been moderated by hiding them (I don't delete anything like some sites). I'm quite happy to send you some examples. At the moment there is about a dozen in a moderation queue!!! So don't tell me or any other poster we don't have perspective. I live in eternal hope that the attitude of some individuals will change. That said I and others attempt to ameliorate the negativity by posting alternative sides of the debate often with well thought out responses. For example in response to your inaccurate musings about PED's in Harness Racing. So if I'm enabling anything it is a fair debate. However some individuals take their negativity beyond an online forum into real life. My partner and I now either tell them what we think and if they persist we ask them to move to a different room. -

How many trainers give their horses 3 weeks between their first run and their second? Yes the weather might have been OK on all three days this year - what condition the track was in can only be speculated on. However if trainers have more time to get ready during a very wet August leading into the first day surely that benefits everyone. Further trainers could get an extra trial (or race) into their horses and thus be fitter day 1 thus negating the need for a longer recovery period. -

The three week gap suits most. A lot of horses are having their first run for the season the first day and a three week gap gives them more time to recover. The current dates suit if the meetings are being held at Hastings as the Bay has better spring weather and in fact it would have been a good track both days so far this year if the races had been held there. -

As I said there were a number of issues. The biggest was Bayer pulling sponsorship which set the race on its way in the first place. Whoever talked them into those 20 years of sponsorship deserves a lot of credit. Bayer went through cost cutting in 2003 and I imagine that was part of the reason they pulled out. Events tire eventually unless they are reinvigorated - a bit like tracks.
