    • Harrison orange seems to be a special talent. Surprising someone so inexperienced can drive with such confidence and skill.Horses just run for him. A harrison i see is still a junior driver. She drove like she was on a mission to get that first win back yesterday with akatea and her tactical confidence proved accurate.The sport is one where things happen where you question ,how is that fair,but she overcame the hardest part,which to me wasn't the winning,but was in fact  showing she had overcome such adversity,just to be able to compete again. also,I wonder what she thought, when at her first drive back,she copped some interference when a driver got tipped from the sulky just in front of her.Life has many twist and turns ,we think we know whats just around the corner,but do we really?
    • I thought the same regarding the use of the whip,I had a decent punt on the horse because as I have said before she has got the X factor, but I noticed before the race she was a bit on the toe and sweating, and when you could see 300m from the finish she was traveling like the winner, in fact getting further ahead, I would have thought she didn't need to pull the stick and let her have an enjoyable day, Just my opinion
    • I guess that would be consistency. Only problem with that is ,using your policy,once a driver does drop a foot from the footrest,why would they keep trying, as they know they are guaranteed disqualified anyway. and exactly what point in a race.and why. Just a note. Alan pyers again dropped his foot from the footrest yesterday,this time on a different horse to the first day.He actually did so for over half the length of the straight, at the finish of that race. No foul driving charge again. Just a common sense approach with a $100 fine. You see,although he was in contention at the time he dropped his foot,no one really could say, that he intentionally did it to gain an advantage.Then again,hes lucky hes not in victoria i suppose. Also i note the same driver who drove with his foot out of the foot rest at methven for the whole length of the straight at the start of a race,may actually do it regularly as he did it again yesterday.No mention again as ,once again,i think people know it wouldn't be intentional to gain an advantage. What would victorian stewards make of his driving?  
    • Yes , that is so great having some Luck in Life. You are surely nearly the luckiest around . (By getting to enjoy both the terrific worlds of racing and Harness racing along the way , with the amazing animals and the thrills they give along the way. In fact ALL the posters on here and racing NZ and Oz forums are in the top 1 % > of the Top 1 % of All People on the planet, as they not only get to enjoy the racing, but Enjoy Life in 2 of the Top 10 'Ranked' countries for quality of Life,  in the World. NZ is Number one holiday destination for some , but a great place to retire as well.  Hey TABman >> With some success in the racing with some Group 3's there , and probably some nice gallopers , you might be in the top 1% of the 1% of the 1% 🤣🤣 (probably a Sir Edmund Hilary relative or something ? high up the mountain lol 😂. I missed out having or driving a Group horse at all alas, battling in the back-blocks, but feel lucky still with being a part of the great sport for quite some time , and wishing it well and even in it's (harness racing) twilight years still can see and enjoy a few things.  but I do get AFL as national sport which is a bit better than rugby lol 🏆😉 Brissy won too 🦁 NZ and Aus citizens the luckiest on the planet if they just sat back with a beer and pondered on it, especially those enjoying the racing ,  or bothering to post on the forums to encourage the sport in their own way , whether it be a bet or just some thoughts / or memories (as that is part of heritage) and even some involvement going forward. mmmm . now I wonder if Chief will buy me a yearling at the sales so I can get Group 3 status ? 👍💰🏇😁    think I need some black print in my twilight years 💰🤣
