Why? was trailing the leader (who was the winner) at the half mile , so had every chance 6th. That winning filly UTAH JAZZ is gunna be very good. Owned by Swayzee's owner Mick Boots !!! what a good man he is and puts horses with about 15 different trainers I believe. deserves a medal. Kirstin trailed the leader in the last race of the day as well . and run last. think her horses that she's driving are the main problem. weak as water. didn't seem to be her fault.

This bloke another driver trained up by Cran and Dexter old Paleface Mate. won about 18 junior races for them a few years back. Then landed in NSW 'Paleface Adios territory' and just a year ago was winning Group races with NZ horses including Group 1's with the very speedy ex-pat kiwi mares , Braeview Kelly and then Aardies Express. They won the last 2 runnings of the Queen Elizabeth Group 1 collecting over 100k each out of that race with Trainor training and driving. alas he has a 18 months 'holiday' 🙄 at the moment, for a NZ mare 'Manhattan' positive. but he'll be back. think he's only about 25 years old (Jack Trainor) and another great product of the Dalgety barn .

Cannot understand it. How do you sell off an asset . THAT IS NEEDED by the Participants of that industry?. and still be in debt anyway. There are around 20 something Trainers that regularly use the Franklin track . well over 200 horses. The Auckland trotting will Cease to exist very quickly with our this facility. Steven Reid already gone Canterbury. What a beautiful complex. should be up-graded into a Full time racing facility. If they sold it for 30-40 $million they're still 60 million in debt. ????? goodness me. how does that fix anything??. Get Kevin Seymour involved? . Very happy with New Zealand after LEAP TO FAME's big win. He's a multi Millionaire property developer and could help the situation no end. He saved Albion Park . get some proper advice and solutions.

I would think Brodster means just should stop investing on that driver/jockey for a while, that they are not happy with?. Not drop everyone altogether. I definitely have a pattern of using particular drivers /jockeys as quite often the horses are quite equal ( except for barrier and weights sometimes) as they need to be 'Steered To Win' no matter who they are. even Leap To Fame. There are several drivers I never take on the ticket , (as just don't want to lose my money on them 😂😉)

The Night of Champions is over for another year. Leap To Fame getting to cross to NZ and take out the 'Race' defending Champion Merlin , and also grind down the current Interdominion Pacing Champion Don Hugo as well to really seal the deal. LTF Now officially an International 'Superstar' 🌟. am still shaking head at that performance. on the BOAY superstar list we had the final race 10 to complete. Sorry But I near fainted after the Betcha R9 , seems like the ultimate top of Everest to me with a QLDer winning in NZ, and am only recovering now at breakfast ☕. Race 10 result : Crazy 🤪 1st, Trifolium 2nd, Patrick Mahomes 3rd, Rewiri hill 4th. well in yet another fitting result for the evening after several already CRAZY did in fact win the last race for our star runners of the night (Ranga and NoworNever) to gather another 8 points each lol 😆 RANGA had gone 'Crazy' before the last anyway with the joy of it all 😂. Mikey rounded out the BOAY trifecta getting 3rd place with Patrick Mahomes. Chief and Brodster picked up 6 points each for the 2nd placing for the Crystal Hackett trotter. Brodster and Gamma finish at the back. Never mind mate . there's always next year and some more great action 😆. we'll just have to go CRAZY and buy💰 a better Slot. FINAL POINT SCORE Ranga 70 points ( has leapt to Fame 🏆 and new BOAY champion) 2nd Mikey 56 pts, 3rd NoworNever 52 pts, the Galah 40, TABman 38, Chief 36, Brodster and Gamma 34.

It's not possible to catch Rangatira in the last race , with Mikey having one runner (no.8) and NoworNever his 2 inside runners, as Ranga has CRAZY No.1 himself. He can now go 'Crazy' as the SLot King of BOAY !!!! Congratulations Ranga ! you are little ripper mate and all the best for a great weekend .

BETCHA Race result points. Mikey (with the Quinella) and Gamma on the winner. The Galah, and Ranga on the runner up of Marky boys who went great in that race . So Ranga with 6 points from his lone runner there still holds the lead over Mikey who collected 16 points for 1st , 2nd and 4th in the BETCHA slot race to move into 2nd spots. BOAY Slot leaderboard after Race 9 Rangatira 62 points , Mikey 52 pts, NoworNever 44 points, Galah 40 pts, TABman 38 points , Gamma 34 pts, Chief 30 pts, Brodie 28 pts ,

Is hard to tally that after the heart flutters lol. Race 9 result . Leap To Fame (the mighty Queenslander ) 1st Blacks a Fake couldn't win in NZ in 3 starts there , so guess Leap To Fame now overtakes him as the Best i've ever seen. Chase A Dream 2nd, Merlin 3rd and Don Hugo (ground into the ground by Larry is 4th)

Go the Queenslander !!! I've known Grant and Mark for as long as I can remember and can't speak highly enough of them . Gentleman of the game. just like their dads Bill (who I competed against) and Roy . I'm so pleased to see that Quinella of 2 of my All time favourite harness blokes 🍻👍😍

Race 9. And onto the BIG pace. The Betcha Slot race . with a few decent horses running here. Introducing for the Galah The Duchess , Merlin and Chase A Dream For NoworNever we have The Duchess and The Don For Brodster we have Don't Stop Dreaming and O Connor For Ranga we have Chase A Dream For Mikey it's the Don , LTF, DSD and Chase A Dream ( could nearly get the F4 ? ) For Chief we have Republican Party For Gamma we have Don Hugo and Leap To Fame ( small Quinella chance ? ) and for the TABman driving like a madman in this one it's DSD, Pinseeker, OC, RakerotheRocket and the Pub party too. good luck everyone !!

BOAY Slot leaderboard after Race 8 Rangatira 56 points , NoworNever 42 points, TABman 38 points , Mikey 36 pts, the Galah and Chief 30 pts, Brodie 28 pts , Gamma 24 pts.

Oh crap . all the local trots have started in Aus as 5.30 now. and they're not broadcasting race 8. what a rip off !!! getting some stupid standing start in Hobart race 3 instead🙄.

Race 8 A standing start. A few will be out of it right from the start. as they gallop out the back. ( Galah and Gamma not in this race either, galloping to the kitchen for Cup of tea 😅 ) NoworNever has 1+2, Mikey has 5+9, TABbie has 1, Brodie has 1+3+5+12 , Chief has 10+11, and the Slot leader Rangatira has 1+2+6+11 which are Boudica and 3 x Roughies.

Race 7 Result The TAB trot slot. ArceePhoenix 1st, Queen Elida 2nd, The Locomotive 3rd , Muscle Mountain 4th. Ranga , Mikey (moves up 3 places) and Gamma on the Winner there, with Gamma getting 2nd and 3rd as well for a handy 18 points. BOAY Slot leaderboard after Race 7 Rangatira 48 points , NoworNever 42 points, TABman 38 points , Mikey 32 pts, the Galah 30 pts, Chief and Brodie both 28 pts, Gamma 24 pts.

Nice Improvement from the winner there after running 4th last year in the Inaugural TAB trot. Found it a bit easier without Just Believe In it this time for new TAB trot title holder ARCEE PHOENIX. Muscle Mountain was my pick in that but was a tickle disappointing after nice 1-1 sit. A 1-2-3 finish for the Aussies but with 5 runners they had the ammo to do it.

The $600,000 TAB trot is up next (hope that doesn't mean Ben Hope and Bob Butt run the Quinella for TABman 🤣) In Race 7 NoworNever has 1+2, the Galah has OscarB No.3 , Brodie has BetNwin No.9 Mikey has 1+3+4+6 , Ranga has 4+9 , TABman has 7+9 , Chief has Zip again (sorry Chief) and Gamma has a smacking 1+2+4+5+6 , about time goting roll forward from the back 😆

RACE 6 Result Bettors Anvil 1st, Greased Lightnin 2nd, Got the Chocolates 3rd, Metal Mickey 4th. the Galah got 8 points for 2nd and 4th , and TABforever got 12 points with a 1st and 3rd haul !! well done 🍻 . BOAY Slot leaderboard after Race 6 Rangatira 40 points (and new leader) NoworNever and TABman both 36 points , Mr Galah 30 pts, Chief and Brodie 28 points Mikey 20 pts, Gamma 6 pts.

At the line race 6 and Brodie, Ranga and TABman all on the 20-1 Roughie winning from the outside barrier. These boys are fine judges of horse flesh and pick up 8 points each for that to close in on NoworNever who didn't get the 'Choc's' in that one (running 3rd lol)

Race 6 time for 3 year old boys . NoworNever 1+2, the Galah has 3+7, Mikey has 4+10 , Gamma has 9+10, Brodie has 8+9 , Tab has 2+ 8 Rangatira with 5+8+9+11 for the ABC slot and Chief sits out this one on the sidelines.

Ranga has 2nd and 3rd in Race 5 with Arafura and Beside Me to move up and attack for the Lead !!! NoworNever has been setting a strong Tempo up front aided by some classy Mark Purdon drives. BOAY Slot leaderboard after Race 5 NoworNever and Ranga both 32 points , Chief 28 points , TABman 24 pts (also 2nd and 3rd with the SI drivers ) The Galah 22 pts, Brodie and Mikey both 20 pts, Gamma 6 pts.

RAce 5 Result Without You 1st, Arafura 2nd, Beside Me 3rd, YoureTheOneThatiWant 4th . HALF way HOME BOAY Slot leaderboard after Race 5 Now or Never 32 points . Chief 28 points.

Carter once again unstuck by the cunning old Fox Mark . Another Marky Boy special drive on WITHOUT YOU, and he gets the money for NoworNever and the Galah as well knowing who the Big guns are . The Galah also picks up 2 points for BarryP's horse 4th for a 10 points haul in that one.

Race 5 for the 3 year old Fillies is up next. Chief and Mikey ride on the Red Hot Fav BESIDE ME. could end up being the next 'Adore Me' the way she is going. NoworNever 1+2, the Galah has 1+5, Brodie has 2+3+6 , TABbie has 6+8+9 driven by the Southerners. Ranga has the ABC's running hot in this one with 2+4+6+8+9. Gamma dead in the water again 🙄.

RACE 4 result and a very fitting one again . 'Romeo Foxtrot' raced by a lot of the folk that put on and organise this amazing night of Harness racing each year. David Branch (Cambridge CEO) and family. Romeo Foxtrot 1st, Castana 2nd, High Energy 3rd, Lord PopnJay 4th. BOAY Slot race POINTS ( after Race 4 ) NoworNever 24 points (with 2nd placed Castana from the pole) Chief also 24 points (with the juniors 2nd and 4th in that trot) Rangatira 22 pts, Mikey 16 pts , Brodie 14 pts TABman 14 pts, Galah 12 pts , and Gamma 6 ts

yes was nearly gunna say Kim driving exceptionally well for a while now . 2 BIG wins just last Friday at Addington , and she should go close to beating these 'Juniors' tonight. Trista has a lot of QLD drives and quite experienced as well. No trophy for you yet though as you have 3 blokes only 2 points adrift , ready to pounce lol 😋
