Brodie Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 They have actually done it the Rangiora Trotting Club FFS!!!! Who is the Dickhead from the club that programmed 1390metre races, you are delusional if you think that ks the right thing to be doing to retain and attract punters, but perhaps you just don’t care!!!! Even got a 1609m/mile race as well on the card, so yes it must be starting on the worst part of the track for starting any race for fairness!! Yep, racing has got some clowns that have no idea of what they are doing!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the 1390m races is the ANZAC BATTALION 'YOUNG AT HEART SUPER SPRINT' MOBILE PACE, that is restricted to young at heart 6-year-old and older pacers! What a thrilling race this will be... 🙄 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I guess the UK restrictions really made the Dukes Funeral more like a funeral too. 1000 a day deaths in some countries at the moment . so can't say kills no-one lol. Thank the good Gods we are in NZ and Australia! Possibly the 2 most 'sort after ' destinations in the world now because of their smartness. AND definitely the TWO best Nations on Earth ! and great racing over the years. !! sorry for you , you'll just have to skip over Rangiora and head straight to the Group 1's at Auckland ? hope you enjoy.

Brodie Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share Posted April 20, 2021 Gamma, people die each and every day with or without Covid19! NZ has a total of 25 or 26 put down to Covid and yet half lf them actually were never tested for Covid as they were so frail and so they were never positive. Every week in NZ roughly 800 people die of a variety reasons and yet 25 dying warrants shutting down the country and far more people dying from the lockdown rather than the virus. This Covid19 is a mild virus and this socalled deadly easily spread virus has no one in hospital. How many people that are testing positive at the border have symptoms and or end up in hospital???? No one as far as I am aware, if any then it is a minute number. It is absolute BS!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit late now they are in catastrophe ?? Better there than here ???? our governments prevented this , bless them. Australian and NZ cricketers are there playing IPL to empty stadiums at the moment. Then they come back to our countries RISKING bringing that shit with them. After all the hard work to keep us safe as well. Absolute disgrace , just for money. Shouldn't let them back in I reckon.

Big Bang Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I'll probably have a bet, I reckon. Few good early speed horses drawn well that should be suited by the distance.

The 1390m is an unusual distance that I doubt has been raced over before? That means the winner of the race will be a world record holder. If, Motor Mouth wins Race 4 the first "super sprint" then he has the fastest time ever... World Champion!!! But wait... Race 8, is the second "super sprint". Can any of the outstanding field of 6yo-and-older pacers break Motor Mouth's world record time? Perhaps, Mister Mighty with the plum ace draw could write himself into the record books? Any predictions what the new world record time will be?? 🙃 Edited April 20, 2021 by Davis grammar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagine it in a filly's record - MR 1:48.2 but only over 1390m!!!! Did they ask Trainers and Drivers before they did this? You'd be wasting your time if you had a horse that was slow out of the gate or even drew behind one that was. Or for that matter if you drew anything other than 1 to 4! May as well open up betting on Kidz Carts! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horses are bred for speed.? not bred to run 2 miles as much. The very good ones can. much respect to them. As I said to Brodie , the horse itself can 'recover ' well' from these bursts and race day to day without being 'flat.' As a betting spectacle , YES Indeed , barrier is critical . but when is it not?? You can add drawing 1 and 2 on the second row to your list of Good draws, as the runners that do draw 1 and 2 off the front usually 'Hunt out ' for all they're worth to take advantage of said draw, so the second row get wonderful Trail through to handy position. As a Punter I Love my runners having Advantage at the start. Don't know what you're grizzling about.? If only 3 or 4 dangers of beating your horse, in your mind, because of barriers drawn, How Good Is That ??? better than having 5 or 6 dangers against your bet. As a 'Viewing' spectacle. yeah pretty boring. nothing to see. just watch last 50m really , seeing if your horse can ping up inside of leader or Not? lol............

A race less than 1609m (a mile) has no statistical standing in the harness racing industry. It is a novelty which doesn't even appeal to the harness racing enthusiast or punter. What is it's point? Why not only start 8 horses and race them in lanes from staggered starts? Why dumb down racing to appeal to some market segment that even the marketers don't know about! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just commenting in general on the racing mate. You made a point about stat's blah blah that I wasn't commenting on . If you want my opinion on that , well, who gives a rat's !!!!apart from the OWNER if a horse has 2.02, 1.56, or 1.50 next to it's name.

Gamma, it is a blatantly stupid decision made by someone that is of no appeal. Chief is correct in that a horse will get a phenomenal undeserved mile rate for winning a race. It is a shocking idea and Rangiora should be ashamed of putting on this crap! Good to try things different but seriously Pointless trying this pathetic short Racing on to appeal to whom?
