  1. Gee if you go back through history,Southland has been right up there with the best,times change.
  2. Just 4 southerners and I from Dunedin,times have changed.
  3. 38000 first four I got that one wrong.
  4. i will wipe that comment.
  5. The rating system is not perfect but in the case of a horse from Southland if it loses form it can race at home instead of being chased out by the handicapper.
  6. In some ways that shows just where harness racing is at the moment
  7. Am I correct that Tango Tara has won 5 races,so by winning just a few races but getting up in the ratings is what gets him in?
  8. It all looks easier now,$38000 trifecta,everyone must have got that aye lol,every race,everyday test us to the limit,but that's what makes racing what it is,yes it has some downtimes like the horse today but it's still a great sport,always has been,always will be.
  9. Do you really believe that?

    What ever he is let the others have some😁
  11. It's all a unknown quantity the whole race really,some have only had a few starts,few have done the distance,no one really knows until 5 15 today.
  12. What about Master of Reality?
  13. You often read or hear about the success overseas,not everyone does better off shore,in many forms of life,not sure what point I'm trying to make just saying.
  14. Should try him out,see if you can get 25 mill for a all weather track at Kumara.
  15. Another way of looking at it,hes good at giving out lots of money,so that could come in handy aye.
  16. Grant Robertson personally I think hes a freely positive sort of a guy,might be good ,might not.
  17. Do they still have acceptance/nominations fees.
  18. Ok now the gallops are paying stakes just for turning up,it might be a couple of hundy for the also rans so what happens if they don't get a full field,does the money go to the rest or goes elsewhere.
  19. I dont like USA racing but if you dont like it dont watch it.
  20. Historically harness racing has always been a poorer cousin to the gallops so really nought really changes,but gee it's just about non existent in some places now.
  21. High sports turnover may not help racing but maybe it may make the overall state of affairs better.
  22. What run them into the dirt?
  23. The form line as a rule is pretty crap.
  24. Read the form comment for Shout The Bar race 5 Flemington,interesting.
  25. Many people in many positions are hamstrung in jobs,tell me about it.
