    It's a shame a club see fit to fund arguably the best earners to our industry, e.g older horses who start more frequently in bigger fields the least .Very hard to understand the logic and would welcome a response from any club doing this but to be fair I won't hold by breath.

    If you have anything like a top 2yr old it's going to be a very long season, the recent trials look like there will be alot show up when the money's up.

    Doesn't seem to make alot of sense if correct as an owner being on the Racecourse when your horse is racing is what it's all about , count me out otherwise, surely if you were racing in a location with very few local horse's you would try and make it visitor friendly and race on a Friday and Sunday . Race date people wake up.

    Just a different perspective, the hocking trick has been around for years and if deliberate absolutely disqualification but in my opinion that wasn't the drivers intention but dropping his foot did look deliberate so why. If you've every driven you will know exactly why, as an example go sit in a lazy boy recliner sit back then use a whipping action then drop your right leg down then reenact whipping a horse 🐎 you will find you can hit it alot harder and looking at the video that's exactly what I could see. Not sure if disqualification to last was called for but from first absolutely in my opinion.

    That's a yes from me

    Country meetings have been generating outstanding turnovers and GBR but just as important is bringing new people into our industry, the average bet size I'm picking won't be big but the introduction to new people is priceless. It had a real family vibe down there and the kids entertainment was outstanding. 10 out of 10 Central Otago Trotting Club.

    I'd agree with that statement, not sure on 8000 but the biggest crowd I've seen outside of Addington cup day harness wise.

    Bloody Lobster 🦞 got us again.

    Your right about project horse's taking alot of stable time but they can usually see the ability in them, that's probably what sets Diamond Stables apart they could have a stable of 30 and have a great udr but we probably wouldn't have seen Sundees Son and many others on the track. There aren't many perfect horse's about but something i have noticed the good one's have all got attitude and mostly not a good one.

    The Galah is on the money with the Lobster 🦞
  13. Westview
    I don't take offense with the Lobster alot of other trainers would of sacked her before she raced I'm picking. They have worked miracles with her and even at the mot Johnny said she went huge . Her main problem is she just gets so wound up but has got ability and it will click one day.

    The great Aussie knocking machine strikes again, but to knock a man's Lobster 🦞 just not on.

    I know it's hard to get your head around but north and south is one industry, great turnover on the coast which should be recognized, if you start look at the figures Canterbury clubs also out perform Southland clubs as well. Have you done any homework as to where the betting is coming from .

    Yip that is a positive

    Between each race on 2 they had a galloping preview on , harness racing derive income from Australian betting so people with no skin in the game probably don't give a shit that it's not on trackside 1 but sooner or later we will need every source of income we can get.
  18. Westview
    I suppose your right the margin we get from offshore betting doesn't count
  19. Westview
    As far as I know they don't take trackside 2 into Australia so I'm picking quite alot really.
  20. Westview
    All day between the race's they are previewing a galloping race on the other channel WTF
  21. Westview
    Now they are previewing gallops on other channel between first and second race.
  22. Westview
    Absolutely disgraceful that it's on trackside 2
  23. Westview
    Absolutely still think we need more racing .

    Maybe owners just want to hang around home and watch their horse's run locally, i certainly do the numbers nominated for Banks tell me I'm not the only one. Stakes have some bearing on numbers but there is usually one winner per race and incredibly not everyone wants to holiday on the coast. The other alternative is not to have meetings clash but that would leave atleast 150 owners unhappy and makes no sense.

    What's your view on the 51+ Trot with only 8
