I remember going to one about 15 years ago in Malta.
Along with road walking, must be one of the most pointless sports ever.
2 or 3 horses per race were disqualified mid race for running, although the judges must have pretty good eyesight to spot the difference between running and trotting.
The Maltese were mad on it though, and there seemed to be a lot of money being bet on it.

I've been to the trots in Australia and New Zealand a few times and really enjoyed the sport (they call it harness racing). Having said that I love anything to do with horse racing. It wasn't a betting medium though for me as I had no idea about the form but for a night out it was a good laugh. You have to be there though to appreciate just how slow they are running, on the box it looks like they are travelling much quicker than they actually are.
Big following in Scotland and Wales. Massive in USA and Canada. Extremely popular throughout Europe. Been at all the major tracks.
Yes m m m. also in Malta 1974, have photo's of the event.
I was with Dom Mintoff's neice and she was gorgeous so didn't pay much attention to the trotting.
have it on in the background almost every day
anyone remember Sterrebeek (spelling?) during those dark winter days when all GB/Ire meetings were off ("they all begin with the letter U ffs")?
