Brodie Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Whoever decided to program a 1609m mobile for trotters, GIVE YOURSELF AN UPPERCUT! What another stupid programming decision to run a race at Addington on a bloody bend! You have once again seen that no race should ever be run over a mile at Addington !!!!!! It is lunacy and if you think it is a worthy distance at Addington you are deluded! What is the point in starting a race at the worst possible position on the track, of course you are going to get horses breaking and others disadvantaged! Seriously???? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furlong Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Agree it is an awkward starting position but horses break at all starting positions whether stand or mobile. It is not good for those drawn wide but you can factor that in when selecting a bet, and it does provide something different as long as it is not over used. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why dont they have races over 2200 metres at Addington for a change???? What about 2800metres for a change? The day of getting black print by racing sprint races over a mile is over as just about anything can go under 2.0 minute mile rates! Was that trotters race anymore exciting over the stupid mile than over 1980 metres? Certainly wasnt for the connections of the 2 that broke! Anyway it is harness racing’s loss by programming stupid programs , Brodie will focus on wagering on the races that matter! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look my old mate, you know that I usually support you and I know that you are generally on the mark. Good on you for that mate. But seriously mate I think you are wide of the mark here. Have you been smoking hooch?? LOL Mile racing is great. Yes, the starting point is not brilliant but than can be negated if the field was reduced to six to eight starters. OK I know you will say they are not great betting propositions. That's a fair call mate, but again I disagree. If we had a proper futures market money can be made. You can see a nice filly ticking along nicely, this race suits her. Early betting you might get $5 or $6 a place. Money in the bank if you pick the right horse and I know you are capable of that mate. We need more mile racing, not less... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
With A Dream Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Why have Ashburton ditched miles and gone to 1700m. Ashburton was designed for mile racing. It’s the best track in NZ for mile racing. Come on Ashburton bring back some mile racing 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need whatsoever to race at Addington over 1609 metres! There are so few of them it is pointless chucking them in, and the reason they dont run them is that they damn well know it is a crazy starting point! It was good to see Ashburton race over 1700 metres yesterday because it gives horses a bigger run i to the first bend. Why dont they race over 2800metres instead of the 2600 metres if they think there is nothing wrong with starting on a bend? Lets have 2200 metre races at Addington just for a change? Just crackpot idea to race over 1609m for no purpose and smaller field! Just picked up that WithA Dream had mentioned Ashburton.

It's not worth getting so heated up about a teeny topic like this. I know the government is useless and the country is heading for disaster mate. We all know that. But there's nothing you can do... tick tock,,, what will be, will be.. . It will all be over one day... Until then chill out, relax mate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
