    • BH Interview: Madison MeyersView the full article
    • The problem is with field sizes , how fast they go these days. The only ones to bet on , and that have the best chance these days , are the ones that burn early take a Sit and sprint hard to win .  Is folly to bet on back markers.    ( even at Royal Randwick they struggle these days )  We had  Wine Light, Franscent , The Lazarus Effect, Wat Next  and even John Dunn surprisingly taking a sit with Mighty Logan, in the Group 3 feature trot. ALL Five of these curled up nicely behind the leader at the half mile marker , and winning easily in the end.  Addington last Friday. Marketplace failed from that position , but was beaten by an exceptionally gifted gelding,  in the 3 year old feature  The Backmarkers were NO CHANCE in those races.  even at Addington on the Big track. I liked Oscar Bonavena (best trotter in NZ) , and Treacherous Baby (in the G2 Mares classic)  as their trainer driver Mark Purdon is the GOAT in NZ. But they were still Near No chance even in the 12 horse fields. You're just too far back to be a chance or risk your dollars on. so like a lot of people You Don't End up Having a Bet. risk v reward .  Both OscarB and Treacherous Baby stormed home for 4th, from near last at the quarter mile in their races last Friday. Fat lot of good that does for the 'everyday' punter? . just puts you off.  14-18 horse fields would mean heaps of losing horses and Consequently Heaps of losing punters.  Much better idea would be to get 2 fields of 9 runners than one field of 18.  you get 2 Winners. you get 2 trifecta's, you get 2 race pools (that would tally more than one pool would.)  AND You get 2 races where EVERY runner has a chance of winning still at the half mile pole in a race (sadly lacking in a 12 horse + field these days)   sure the tote divvie' might be  smaller , but who is that greedy? , that they're rather see more losers than winners for the sake of a few extra dollars in a pool. The yanks know best and are the smartest as have run Full 8 horse fields for decades. Every runner , and therefore every Punter a winning Chance in Every Race. At QLD locals we just run 9-10 to give em' all a chance. excellent.  and IMPORTANTLY , that keeps them in the harness game. ( by racing , owning or even Betting on horses )
