Gammalite Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 A couple fell at the post , but no one injured, and race abandoned. The track looks particularly rough and Race 5 just then was dog's breakfast and was like Browns cows. Fav way out the back. Horses can't get balanced on that sort of running properly. I've given up the punt today already after the passive drive on Caulfield in an earlier race . Better off at the gallops to bet really .

I don't whats better to back a loser or to not back a winner.I've been following the horse letsgodancing and its forever been unlucky,often positioned where it had no chance.Well today to me it looked the bet of the day given its price,but unfortunately for me an appointment i had dragged on longer than expected and i got home just after the race finished. $32 seemed unreal to me. Don't you hate it when that happens.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you hate it when that happens.. Sorry you missed out on that one. It's getting harder to pick as (just like West port and Nelson) , because there are 2 days racing close to-geather , several runners are just sitting back , and not even trying to get a win on the first day. laughable. .. American Me and New York Minute were easily the best horses in that field and even the commentator said they were just running on late , waiting for the 3000m on Sunday. I think that's poor they didn't have a go today though. Will very likely Quinella Sunday , but what about 'todays' first day Punters ?? leave them out of your trifectas because you suspect they won't be trying ?? It's getting rediculous really.... I'm getting cynical like everyone else now lol..... used to enjoy it lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did look like american me and new york minute both had the chance to come to the outside for a clear run earlier,and while i think they may have not have placed,we will never know.I think betterzipit looked the most likely for the 2nd day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just backed a couple today since i came home. Dramatist and pembrooks destiny,both stopped badly after 1000m and finish about 300m last.I guess better to do that than run an unlucky4th,but it makes you wonder if your better with a dart sometimes.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the track is rough, that's not good and if people dont bet because, then isn't that one of the reasons harness is where it has got to be?

Nowornever Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 It's going to be a totally different track on Sunday. Might even be called off. I am hoping for a heavy 10 and some $50 outsiders to roll home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha that bloke does All the 'Crim Safe' company ads (for door screens in Oz) hope he keeps the crims away from harness racing too !!!! If NewPlymouth gallops are off today Wet, no way could sulky's go on the grass at Hawera tomorrow ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
