Newmarket Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Every winner tonight has led, trailed or sat parked, and only the champion did that…..reminds me of the days betting at Greymouth Harness? It’s a shame, majority had no chance when draw came out, especially once rain came. Excellent run by Pinseeker, a bit more luck would see it finish 3rd….This type of racing should be run at our best track, Addington, not the 3rd or 4th best track 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the galah Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 we enjoyed all the racing and wondeful to see leap to fame win. What a horse. the aussie trotters connections interview was also a good watch. The only thing i thought a bit odd,was brittany graham and nicole sims weren't supplied with an umbrella. i've seen presenters in aussie walk around with someone holding an umbrella for them,doing pre race interviews. i think both those presnters do a great job and both have good fashion for my wife to look at. But someobne,get them an umbrella if it rains next time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no views of on pace bias? pace bias,i just try and bet on ones that will go forward at some stage. I think most of the drivers who feel they are in with a chance try and work there way forward in the first round. Then,when that happens,you have the best horses up front combined with the bias favoring those up front,so they hardly ever come from the back. There was one race ,high energy ,who came from the back,but it only managed a close 3rd. I thought that one should have made a move with a lap to go. More driver being too negative that time rather than the track. i was surprised Beside me got beaten . tI had been so dominant the start before against the same horses but these things happen. The big trotters race was an odd race,with 3 of the 8 breaking and queen elida hanging like there was something bothering it,yet it still ran 2nd. Muscle mountain making it to the Million $ earnings was great to see. Hes been a great horse and hes carried the burden of being a hot favorite a lot in recent years. I think the Hopes and especially his driver ,Ben hope deserve great credit for never taking the punters for granted and always trying to put him in a position to win,knowing that punters are trusting him to do that. Sometimes its meant hes hasd harder races than they would have liked,but everything the horse and they have done has been a crdit to them and they have been a credit to the industry. People should appreciate that aspect. the only thing now,hes had a lot of hard racing and its starting to show when they go hard. He just can't finish the final 100m like he used to. But hes still a great horse and now a million dollar earner. i also thought trackside need to use nicole sims as much as they used brittany graham. Brittany graham is a class act,but nicole sims does a great job as well and they could have combined the two a bit better in my opinion.
