I am as confused as I could possibly be!

Looking thru the fields for Sunday at Addington, for winners!

However I am totally confused by race 2, being the 3rd heat of the Juniors Drivers Champs!

The race is McMillan Equine FeedsNZ junior Drivers Heat 3 Mobile Pace!!!

What the heck?

Firstly it is a trotters race and yet they call it a PACE??

Secondly it says MBL that I have always taken as standing for a Mobile Start!

However it says underneath that it is a STAND!!!

What is going on here?

Can it be confirmed that it is a 2600m standing start race for trotters rather than a mobile start for pacers??????

Those are definitely trotters Race 2 Brodster. I always look on the HRNZ official site. and just  like race 4 which is a maiden trot with their regular drivers , the mobile is not mentioned , so therefore , is a Standing Start. 

The mobile start races seem to always have that indicated, in the race description /title on that site.

MCMILLAN EQUINE FEEDS NZ JUNIOR DRIVERS (HEAT 3) TROT

$9000, 4YO & OLDER, UP TO R50 WITH COND. INV JD, 2600m

Here is the race header from the HRNZ site, looks a standing start trot to me. I just went to TAB and i see what you mean. I think it is probably a mistake by the TAB mate.

I am even more confused bow looking at race 5.

Look I appreciate that Bubbles has not  won a race in over 80 drives and is competing in the Junior Champs, and his next sin is going to be his first!

However to achieve this, I do not believe that they should be giving him 2 horses to drive in the 5th race but  do not think it was possible to be able to drive 2 at the same time, unless it was a chariot?

Has been quite an 'Honest' chap until now then. ?? no sins? Might be one of the 7 deadly sins in that case.?

'Envy'? or  'Lust' ?after a win. Gluttony would be best.
