Newmarket

Track will certainly be a bit soft, couple days rain followed by chilly weather. I do well punting on that track with a bit of moisture

Ladies first has been going poorly, would never have got a start anyway

I used to enjoy following his horses early on. But, has he battled to win races now, his team seems to just battle, and he seems to drive with no great authority, just goes around for fun. Needs to get his confidence back, both driving and training

Funny that the horse was consistent trotting first few starts, now its 3 starts it has failed.

What a joke. Yes we had a bit of rain before 9pm last night, but hardy a down pour. It was forcast for showers, so it was expected. Crazy

How unlucky is Il Parata. What a shame he didnt go to a good stable with a top driver engaged. Began well tonite, fergs just sat in indian file, then decided not to move off rail, instead though 5 deep a good option??? Jesus Christ, it makes you wonder really. Then horses got off to be in nice spot, until horse in front galloped, so a bloody good effort for 2nd. But driver could have moved off, and taken the bad luck out of the equation. Should be fined

I suppose you cant stop those accused from earning a living. Its going to be hard for those charged in the coming months, so have to give them credit for that. Will they return to race driving, all of them? Will be intetesting, but i think it is going to be hard for some to be proven innocent.

I thought some on here knew their names? Might even be Richie that knew, the girl had tattoos, mind you, thats about 70% nz population now

Makes sense, i bet mostly elsewhere

Worst fields i have ever seen at Addington

Ask the question after that run. CROOKS

I got $5 one this week, but probably only get one every month or so

A few points, No driver has ever returned a positive for drugs? So by my info, plenty of drugs found, hardly a group of drug dealers are they? So what where they doing with the drugs? Think you might know

Drug positives? Everyone thinks the drugs were for personal use, maybe not the case. All will be revealed

Correct, this will go in for a long time. Easy to see which traners/ drivers are involved, they are the ones that are not allowed on course. A few missing from recent award night too. This will wreck them, i know several owners looking for new trainers. As for drugs, it may not be for personal use, could be used for something else

To be honest, i cant see too many getting in the crap for drug offences, even if guilty. But for race fixing, the net is cast very wide. I just cant see how some can still continue in the harness game, if of course proven guilty, which i am fairly certain will be the case. Just remember, it may not be that race fixing can be proven in all aspects of this, but what has been said, to who and what about, is not a good look. Worse times ahead, with cup week not far away, some owners may be looking for other trainers/ drivers

Sadly, most is true.

I have found out a bit more recently. This is far worse than ever imagined, some top young drivers will not be driving for a long time, if ever. Was plain for most to see what was happening in some races,

Pissed my self laughing friday, Mark claydin was on air. They took nz dogs as aus race was running late. No problems there, but then he stated he had the replay. But before he did that, he ran through the divs??? What a joke

Yep

I would of liked Masque to win too, cost me a good collect. Didnt see race,

I thought Spicer has horses with trainer Nigel Mcgrath? So it makes sense does it not. Maybe those at the top are under suspicion also?

Well, no luck with these 2 today. Have noticed when awaytocullect has been bustled from mobile, really only battles. Rachmanicov, well, thought trev should have sat parked last lap, thats horses best option. Think both wanted it a bit soft. They will keep

You were spot on, some good winners that went well at the trials.

Didnt see this on TV. Someone did great job with this photo.
