Karrots Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) Gamms you are funny, still chatting about this, I had thought we had moved on lol. Out of interest I took a bo-peep at wording of the current rules regarding this, The rules state during the running of race, no-one including a driver, shall run a horse or cause or permit a horse to be run other than on its own merits. For me assisting stable mates aka team driving is borderline. I have not seen this year what I would deem as team driving. Which I think is great and is fair play 😁 While the rule remains worded as it is, there is obviously an opportunity to team stable drive. Which I see your point as being excellent for those that are able to do this. But the majority of others within a race, it is not. Anyway lets get this subject back to topic 😁 Think Nth Jnrs have not had a Jnr drive only race Feb at all, so lets hope they get a race to have a crack in sometime soon during March 👍 Edited March 5, 2021 by Karrots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eljay Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Clubs averse to running Juniors races in north simply due to fact that there are only 9 registered juniors domiciled in the North and for instance if one of these happens to be unavailable the pool is very skinny.

Ok. I had thought it was as the last couple were unfortuntely timed during lockdowns, no regional travel between Camb/Auks, therefore as you say lack of numbers. Maybe a combined of a few things, lack of numbers, lack of noms & timing travel restrictions. Moving onto this week & there we go again, North Jnrs race wont run this week due to lack of noms, only 5 Camb. As mentioned in another thread (Harness x-press) with T Vince no longer licensed is a shame & in my view a loss, he supported these races. Perhaps he may have nom-ed 2 to get it off the ground had he still be licensed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
