Doing a great job Gamma.

What the racing today is showing is that there seems to be a fair gap between Dalgety, Telfer and Dunn’s and the rest!

Can you not access nz racing on Harness Racing site, they screen trackside, it's not a betting site or is it blocked.

Sky 1 and 2 both skipped the Nelson Cup with other commitments. All the other Nelson races were broadcast Friday thankfully. I found out the reason later , that a horse got stuck under the mobile barrier in race 6 Albion Park, at exactly the time the Nelson Cup was spose to run, for a few minutes and delayed everything with that race already delayed with a false start previous. so they canned the Nelson Cup to show it (Albion) at it's 3rd attempt .

Thanks Mikey . yes I just have SKY One and Two on Sportsbet. And can watch the harness replays ok,  once they load onto the HRNZ site anyway if I miss them live. those HRNZ blokes are pretty efficient and the result and video, are nearly always there before the next race even.

I've never ever seen 'trackside' but will ave a look around and see if can find it (the broadcast) today for Nelson and Ellerslie on the net,,,,

NZ Trackside 1 and 2 are broadcast through the NZ Harness website in N Z, maybe you can't see that in OZ, as for the Albion Park race taking out Nelson, that can happen, many times they just have a delayed coverage but sometimes they can't be bothered perhaps, never easy though when they don't stick to time.

I really don't understand why they just don't stream live on YouTube like many racing areas do. problem solved maybe because there heads are so far up there ...

Hey Forb's .I was checking the field s for today at Nelson and see your Old Mate Ben HOPE has drawn 3 alley in 4 of the last 5 races today. We know your fan of him 😂😉.

So I might score the matches later on with the sames Teams as the first Day . You had the 3 alley all day long and over the mile , you could unseat the Brodster  who won the first day .

DAY 2   The BOAY  Nelson Classic is ON .

Brodie will be hard pressed to back up after Day 1 Champion. Mile racing getting him again ? 😆.

A couple of Number 2 Runners are scratched later in the day so The GALAH is substituting onto the JOHN DUNN runners today . (2 of which are number 2 in the early races anyway)

SO the 10 teams will run with same Runners as Friday . 

(with the one Galah change and almost certain win for him with Sunny's Sister too )

Can Blackie take advantage of the Pole over a mile ? or just be back pole-dancing once again 😂

Will the Post arrive for Ranga ? with the 'Postman' or just junk mail be delivered ? 😎

Will Chief improve enough from 2nd place Friday to take his maiden Win ?  doubting Thomass'es would say no 😆

Results here later On . Enjoy your Nelson Classic Day !!!!!!

Trackside is going downhill fast. The first day at Nelson you couldn't even see the 20m horses at the start on some races and in the straight horses out wide or near the back missing from the coverage. Complete bunch of no hopers giving the camera guys instructions.  Zoom out and let us see our horses we have backed you morons.

2nd 1   RUAKAKA BOB BUTT FT       1.90
3rd 2   IDLE STUARTIA BLAIR ORANGE FT       1.80
4th 5   BOYZ INVASION WILSON HOUSE FT ODS    

 

The great trotting Filly Sunny's Sister (winner of the Nz Trotting Derby and Oaks last season) 

takes the win and the Galah takes the John Dunn 8 points.

Blackie and Gamma are 'chasing hard' though and not giving up . (both tough as a waterbomb) and pick up 8 points each as well . (with the john Dunn bonus 2) and 2nd place for Bob Butt with the polemarker Ruakaka . the 'shifty sands of Ruakaka' , a great track to race at once 😄.

Looks like Ranga in 3rd with the Postman,..... and Newmarket 4th for 2 pts with housie.

POINTS After Race 8  

The Galah  40 points,   Gamma  36 pts,   Newmarket 26 pts,   Blackie 28 pts,

 Chief + Brodie both 22 pts ,    Ranga 12 pts,      Mikey 8 pts ,   Forbury 4 pts,   Walt  2 pts

The Galah  50 points,   Gamma  40 pts,   Newmarket 36 pts,   Blackie   36 pts,

 Chief 30 pts,    Brodie  26 pts ,    Ranga 12 pts,      Mikey 8 pts ,   Forbury 4 pts,   Walt  2 pts

 

Gammalite has lost his driver's in the last 😪. and is in the grandstand only.

Can only hope Sheree (drawn the 1 alley)  with that arm Stretch by the pulling horse,  in the previous race,  is TOO WEAK to get a placing and Blackie doesn't catch up ..😁

Newmarket has 'HIGH HOPE's' and is 'FULL Of DESIRE' as well to grab 2nd spot in the last race soon.  he has those 2 runners coming home for him. 

The final race in 10 minutes time.
