rhys nicholson and marnie bibby make a good comedy act
Broken Hill has a tab meeting - never though I would see that
Broken Hill are giving away 30k in prizemoney..they've overtaken Melton
this thread is an oxymoron, a paradox.
i never thought i would see "thought" and "harness racing" in the same sentence

What horses form fluctuating in amazing directionsMMMMMMM?
I HATE Menangle!!!
I HATE drivers who,driving a short priced fav at some sh!thole,suddenly think they have Westburn Grant in the gig and burn totally unnecessarily fast 3rd 1/4s and get beaten a nose.

c lang jnr should book himself a 6 week overseas holiday
yes it was such a good drive he deserves a holiday to libya
Every driver should have his drivers fee invested on his drive so they get nothing if they dont win. Will increase turnover and hopefully intensity.
is there a future for the monte?
they look like they are going to break at anytime but they are pretty exciting

Here's a random harness racing thought...It sucks and the only thing that sucks more are the fckers that waste their lives pontificating on it!
Garry Wilkinson giving the form comments leading into each race tonight on Sky 1.........how bad can it get!!! Wouldnt know a crupper from crrapper
running BOORT on sky1 in preference to Horsham gallops.
did horsham loose the toss or something

i'm going to make sure this thread goes for years Whoopi - just for you
If they couldnt show Horsham gallops on their own channel TVN then good riddance
anyone watching gosford dogs? if so do you know if Fast Summer was SCR after they let the dogs out before bunny, or prior?
If you backed Fearless Leader the 3.1 Fav in R6 at Geelong you would be very happy with another Gav Lang drive giving it every possible chance ....amazing
Gavs drive is even better when you see the stewards report
my random harness thought for the day
wouldnt bet at mildura if my life depended on it

artonarock is over rated - did nothing from behind the leader last start yet went out 1.70 the place from barrier 5
thanks mate - i loaded up a bit and when i saw the thing get off it's back was cheering for it to hang on
terrific holds at Bankstown today for a low grade meeting
the C0's hold more than the Menangle Group 2's again
the 7th had 44k in the win pool which is good to see
there is some life in the old dog yet

Yes Craig that race was run in that 5pm-6pm time slot that invariably holds the most..must get those punters straight out of work. Harness officialdom should probably be trying to run most of their meetings through that 5pm-7pm slot..waste of time anything before about 2pm in the afternoon
its difficult cause i love the night meetings so dont want to lose those but i see what you mean - maybe a 12 race card - 4 races from say 4.30 to 6 and then 8 from 6.30 to 10
Boys I hate to burst your bubble but....yesterday's hold on Bankstown harness can be put down to 2 things. It was a quiet Thursday at the gallops, coupled with delays in races being run. Then add in the run of long shots that got home at the gallops and suddenly you've got the perfect storm of frustrated, desperate TAB punters chasing their money down a deep dark hole.
long shots winning at the gallops/races delayed gee that will never happen again whoopi
yeah of cocourse it will happen again egypt. Just wanted to temper the excitement. It won't happen on a regular basis.
you were nicer this time whoopi
i know i'm obsessed but Bankstown's win revenue yesterday 28% higher than Menangle's today

i think u might be on to something Craig - Menangle's pool are horrible, no matter when the meeting is held
How can you bet at menangle.. It's hand up or get crushed out there...
unclee i thought your post on the betfair high court thread was excellent
Interesting bit of info related to this thread, sky channel; owned by tab holdings will recieve first bite of the race fields legislation - estimated to be 1.2million .. Only then can hrnsw find 2m to cover their current funding gap http://www.hrnsw.com.au/assets/files/2010-2013%20HRNSW%20Strategic%20Plan.pdf
amazing drift La Machane - why?
had 50 metres on those other two through the Oaks

Got to a terrific price Craig, even from the gate
the race did end up getting to suit but gee it was an exciting win
Melton appear to be trying to have a slo-mo camera right on the line to show the finishes similar (in a poor man's sense) to Hong Kong. 3 years at Melton and they may be conceding that they do need a camera on the line !! Amazing...how long til they tell us they're broke.
WAIT!!...I'm having a random harness thought...yes...no...f-ck it...it's gone...it's back again...never met a bigger bunch of illiterate two heads in my life...with a few exceptions...liked the horses...poor ill treated beasts...no...it's gone again...
sound like your losing your sh_t mate... might pay to have that checked out?
LOL!! Might be too late!!
BTW I still have one thing in common with my former standardbred comrades. That word you used. 'PAY'. I'm nearly as good at NOT paying as regular trots folk!!

woohoo nsw prizemoney back in line with victorian prizemoney... and only 5 years later - crack the champagne boys
Tipping you would be happy about the 2 hr stabling rule being reinstated as well Uncleee
yes a positive move, pity its not still on all races.. i hope one day we will be on par with gallops ie 3 hr arrivals... but whoever is behind it should be congratulated
Ballarat Harness on Sky 2.....HRV and their partner Tabcorp continue to kill the sport
CEO at HRV more interested in putting cameras on drivers helmets than meeting with Tabcorp execs to discuss shabby treatment of Vic Harness. Vic harness turnover the best of any state but relegated to Sky 2 ??? Embarrassing for a supposed on the ball CEO
Close the lid!!! throw on the dirt!!!!!!
G Hayes is on SKY2 doing a taped preview for the Renshaw Cup. It has been run and won on Sky1. Stuff me.

Just watched Chris Alford & Ellen Tormey interviewed by Mike Beretta on the Good Friday appeal. Mike must have wondered why they were there & asked Ellen what drives she had coming up - Her reply was that things were rather quiet at the moment but she did have one drive at Echuca tomorrow night. No mention that she recently won the Australian Young Drivers championship in Perth. Chris Alford is suspended for another 7 days so he had no drives coming up. No mention that he is currently Victoria's leading driver & that his daughter Katie suffers from neurofibromatosis & I would imagine has spent a considerable amount of time at the RCH. Surely somebody from HRV could have given him some background information before going to air.
And perhaps Channel 7 could have given you some background information too as it's actually Mark Beretta 
Apologies Joel, I don't watch the sunrise program. At least i got his surname correct.
Luke McCarthy - unlucky 13
13 runners tonight - 0 winners

The 1st race at Ballarat tonight is at 5.53pm & the last race at the Melton day meeting is at 6.01pm.
I can't recall a night meeting starting before the day meeting finished previously.
HRV obviously trying to cash in on the 5pm to 7pm pub tab market.

Half the people that work at HRV wouldnt even know there was two meetings on ! The only thing HRV do is hammer more nails into the coffin of the sport.
Thanks to whoever laid the hundred at better than 30's Modern Scooter 
She seemed to forget about the horse travelling so well inside her there
did it win or lose aussie?
hard to see how getaway plan can turn the tables on empires express
no expert on WA but based on their last race

well done aussie - cant say the same for me
It may have been short of a run, AD. It's backing up at GDP trials on Sunday.
Oh dear
What was your take Castiron?
I thought it was a 25/1 pop, was just amazed beyond belief it could be layed so short here. It's form here had no depth whatsoever, and the only time it had met trotters of remote relevance it got beaten by a pair who gave it 40m start at the handicaps after having every possible!

AD, I don't have the time to do any form for Victoria, and only take a passing interest.
I only knew the horse, was racing an hour after I read your post.
Agree with your assessment, he looked way out of his depth in that race.

rarely seen anyone drive as many bad races as Mark Hewitt and another example there
on the third favourite drawn behind the long odds on fav cant manage to hold its back even though the fav in front of it didn't come out that hard
a $15k race also - the difference between running second and fourth probably

must admit a good drive on Chloes Venture by M Hewitt
You have to laugh at B Gath don't you
What A Fine Fella - of course there was no way it would have won the race, but if he gets to the outside it would have had a flashing light on it when it drops a bit in grade next time. Instead he steers it in behind Jack's drive.
Well done old man, bit better price next time offered by the mugs who don't do the tapes
