Went a good race for 5th in the Rowe Cup last year beating home Oscar Bonavena, Mighty Logan, Not As Promised and Midnight Dash. It has also trotted a half in 55 at Addington so based on that it was a shoe in last night. -

Sigh, did you get to see the great black and white photos from meetings back in the 1920's... the curse was packed!! this photo does not quite the grandeur of the stands! -
Yes , I think mostly they don't penalise with a vets certificate. Vet only has to put in one or 2 words for a trainer as to why an Accepted runner has scratched. Vets a pretty loyal to their customers. Sometimes a trial needs to be run by said horse if stewards order it, but we have plenty of trials they run like workouts between our races Tuesdays and Thursdays. A shame for the Handicapper trying to put on 2 year old races for you. They need to start now as is near the end of summer. I said to Brodie about the 8 2 year olds that lined up at Pukekohe in 2 heats last Tuesday trials. so hopefully a race or can put on for them March sometime. Our Albion 2 year-olds normally go a few weeks at the Tuesday day meetings, where no one is betting much at all, and they (the 2 year olds) can scramble around and learn their craft. I see one of these is on Next Tuesday Race 1 Albion for $9000 . a nice 7 horse field of first starters, which is just right to avoid any tight racing on them. so less likely to make errors. -
Spatchcock, to be fair Brodie is always on the money whether people agree or not! We need more people ready to speak their mind, which unfortunately we have learnt over recent years that they are prepared to just accept things, even when it is BS! The thing is Brodie and The Galah both tell it the way it is, even if it appears negative, due to our deep concerns for the future of harness racing in NZ! I believe there are still people involved in harness racing that just dont see what is going to happen once the Entain cash splash finishes! -
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.
