For those punters that want accurate info to assist with their punting, we often do not get it! You look at the weather report online for the Nelson area and it is saying it is fine for many days. And yet if you go to HRNZ web site, it is going to be raining?? This happens quite often with them, so do they know something that the weather forecasters don’t? I appreciate that weather can change but better putting nothing than putting that it is going to rain when it isnt? Or are they putting this up to mislead punters?? -
Programming by many of the Clubs in NZ is very poor! Nelson deserves what it gets with having these mile races on the second day of their meetings nowadays! Lunacy that they think that mile standing starts on that track is going tonentice punters to wager! Miss away slightly and you might as well pull the horse up? Unfortunately we have got people with very limited business sense continuing to make decisions that are not in the best interests of harness racing! For those that are punting in those miles, all the best as there will be some upsets over that distance you would think?

By Dave Di Somma, Harness News Desk The country’s leading driver Blair Orange looks to have a stack of each way chances on the second day of Nelson’s Summer at The Trots meeting at Richmond Park on Sunday. The now eight-time premiership winner has eight drives on the 11-race card that starts just before noon. He rates course specialist Nellie Doyle among his best chances on the day. She’ll line up in the Mike Austin Memorial Handicap (Race 8, 3.41pm), a heat of the Trevor Craddock Seddon Trotting Series, after making it three from three on the course on the opening day on Friday for trainer Tim Trathen. “She’s in the zone and Tim has got her bang on,” says Orange, “she did the most work and started off the handicap (20m) and was very strong to the line.” “She was a maiden this time last year and she hasn’t stopped winning yet.” Nellie Doyle will go back to 30 metres on Sunday against a field that also incudes another impressive first day winner in One Over Da Line, one of four winners for John Dunn on Friday. One Over Da Line, Nellie Doyle and the Bob Butt-trained pair of Ready Set Jet and Roydon Muscle are all at $4. In the day’s feature pace, the Nelson Classic Orange will again drive the Hayden and Amanda Cullen-trained Harrison John who was a brave second to It’s Tough in Friday’s Nelson Cup. It’s Tough will front up again while the race has been further strengthened by the inclusion of Harrison John’s stablemate Hadron Collider and Central Otago Cup winner Pinseeker. “He couldn’t have gone much better, he was parked the last 1000 and went down by a whisker,” Orange said of Harrison John. “It’s not going to be easy and I’m happy to be on the one I am.” Pinseeker opened a $2.80 favourite with Harrison John and It’s Tough at $3.50. Orange opens his day with Ridge in Race 2, the Nelson OTB Handicap Trot (12.22pm). He broke badly on the first day and was never a factor. On Sunday, as a one race winner, he’ll start off 30 metres. “If he trots he is a genuine chance, it looks a winnable race for him.” Other bright prospects include Now Watch Me in Race 3, the Brown and Associates Pace (12.48pm). On debut the Regan Todd-trained four-year-old was slowish away but boomed home late into second. “He was very green, the penny has not dropped with him and when he gets the hang of it he will win some races,” says Orange. “Interesting over a mile stand, he was away awkwardly yesterday but if he can get away with them he’s a chance.” One of his rivals will be Hawk Touie Louie, who started a hot favourite for trainer-driver Bob Butt on Friday but broke repeatedly and finished last. Butt later reported the gelding had cast a shoe during the race. And in Race 6, the Star Hotel/R and J Batteries Mobile Pace Orange will drive another in-form Cullen-trained runner in Princess Renee. She was second behind Captain Tyron on the opening day. “She was beaten by a smart colt the first day and from barrier one over a mile she’ll get her chance for sure.” To see the Nelson fields click here View the full article -
