What Happened in Race Two at Hawera?

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..

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.

I think punters just want to see the drivers pull out when they have the opportunity. 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.

I'm getting a bit cynical as well gammalite. Maybe we feel that way when things don't go right. 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..

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?
