After the race above anyone claiming Restrepo could start double figure odds from the pole in the same race the same year would have been locked up, but it's going to happen. And one of the big reasons for that is Terror To Love.
If there was justice in the sporting world and acclaim had connection to achievement then last weeks Cranbourne Cup would have ten million hits on youtube, not less than a thousand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQJeomTYPKk#t=12 It was flat out incredible, what a finish! I've watched it forty times now and each one you still can scarcely believe TTL gets up. Run down a freakish last start Miracle Mile winning champion? That home straight run should be everywhere, people should be telling their grandkids about it in fifty years. It just doesn't get any better. And yet TTL is not favourite! He's taking on a home town champion, plus stablemates and most people seem to think lightning can't strike twice. It's certainly a massive ask but if he happens to win tonight it will be something incredibly special. What a race. |

TTL Bet of the month... Experience champ vs up and comer leaves no doubt
Proved last start he can overcome a draw |

Love the replay of 2012 Ballarat Pacing Cup
The King versus the Heir Apparent.... the finish is incredible... SS...."looking for 17 in a row.." Betting .. 1.01 in the straight (made that up but that is what I would have assumed) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OlRD1MC3J4 A must watch for those that missed it !!  |

TTL an absolute moral if it runs up to last week. How on earth is he not fav? I have him clear fav.
Not enough credit was given to last weeks win. One of the best half dozen performances we have seen in the five years. All aboard the TTL train tonight  |

So Sky are saying Emma Stewart will not be allowed to use their usual UFO sulkies on Philadelphia Man and Guaranteed. This is quite bad news but could particularly annoy the big striding Philadelphia Man.
The net result is that TTL should shorten so if you like it get set now. Seems like a woeful effort from stewards to spring this on everyone out of nowhere. Why wait till now?!? So unprofessional. If I'd had a big bet on one of the Stewart runners I'd be furious. |

By:
If you were contemplating having a bit bet in this trot for example, are any of those runners affected? You'd have to guess they would be but we have no possible way of telling which ones. All I know so far is Andy Gath and Emma Stewart appear to be affected. Elegant Image was very risky as a 3yo, so maybe he'll hate this.
With this chaos the only sensible thing to do is not bet a cent so that's what I'm doing. Nice work stewards. |

Some of these blokes need to stop grizzling.
Everyone knows it is an illegal sulky. Use it and some stage you will likely have to deal with a change |

Another episode of Amateur Hour from Harness Racing. Chief Steward says it only came to light late this week. So um could they have not let people know yesterday. Honestly it's just embarrassing.

By:
you seem to be the only one anywhere taking that view Aussie
from the outside looking in why would they spring this decision on the night of a big meeting? seems to prove what is often said about the bad management at hrv or am i missing something else? |
|
By:
It may be bad management Craig - I don't agree with the timing.
But I also say Emma Stewart should be ashamed of herself. She was knowlingly using an illegal sulky, and has sulked herself when found out. A balls up all round, but the biggest offenders are those trying to get away with breaking the rules imo |

Good move by HRV Media interest will multiply

Field of 4 left in the Cup....
How long have they been using these? If someone introduces a whole new brand of sulky do they not get approved at any point? I could just rock up in something 4 metres wide and nobody would check? This race was going to be one of the big highlights of the last few years and it's turned into a near humiliation. People will be thinking, what a joke. You could almost cry for our sport. |

By:
Stinking effort to have this happen on a big night. You have to ask how the manufacturer can make a sulky outside of the regulations. Honestly you can not f*ck something up worse than this.

What a good move by Danny Mullan to run Artoc
|

By:
Disgusting Emma and Aikie, hang your heads in shame.
Tried to make a point and have a mockery of a big night in doing so. Check your egos in at the door and put another sulky on, or maybe your horses are not that good when you play by the rules? |
|
By:
hahaha Gardenstar. Really what can you really expect from these in-bred morons.
|
|
By:
100's of sulkies they could've used to replace them on course and they take their bat and ball and go home.

2 inches out and they don't know ? come on

Run it as a Monte. Get Peter Tonkin to drive one and Clayton the other.

Why does every loser have to dub something like this with the postfix of "gate"

Honestly this has to be the most farcical night in the history of a sport that is cast

Oh dear Ricky

a debacle all round..disgraceful scenes

That might be the fastest half ever around Ballarat?

Has Ricky May left the one by one yet?

Steve Bradbury scenes

|
By:
I think he was worried he might not beat Artoc home if he set the horse too big a task
|
|
By:
If you sit back last and let the leader walk you don't win Group 1 races, everyone knows that. Set himself a clearly impossible task so got what he deserved.
The most amazing drive was that of Michael Bellman. Joe Costa must tell him the horse is going three times better than Smoken Up at his best before every race. Amazing stuff. |
|
By:
hahahaha Geez. Plenty of collects for Lloydy tonight in the cup.
|
|
By:
Stewards suspending Ricky May for that effort would be the perfect icing on this cake!! Can you possibly imagine.
