I try to avoid betting on low class sprint races… Newmarket, it is absolutely stupidity coming from the Clubs programming these short distance races! If they believe it is going to encourage punters to wager they are delusional! If they think that these short races is going to entice people to go on course for a day of short 2 minute races, then once again totally delusional! All horses can run a mile and it is just not appealing to the majority of harness followers, but then again harness officialdom are doing very little to keep the industry going! Whoever is deciding to program these miles are clearly not working in the best interests of trying to appeal to the public! There are a couple of horses that I wouldve wagered on, but not over 1700m!

mikeynz Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Might make sense having a 1700 raceday at Ashburton tomorrow if Nelson didnt have a miles day 2 days earlier, Nelson need to revert to 2400 races on day 2, I suspect it would help numbers. Quote
