"Social media trolls have been given a stern warning in the Supreme Court about online abuse after one of Western Australian’s top harness racing stewards was awarded $140,000 in a defamation payout." ...
Stating the obvious you say but in the past I have turned a blind eye to this, thinking that the Breeding thread can be somewhat of a graveyard in terms of poster visits but recent activity has shown this is not necessarily true. The Breeding...
For those who love their foals and foal pics see the thread we have in the Breeding forum each season. ps If you don't want to miss out on anything at all, click on the New Posts tab (nearly Top left) whenever you hop on the forum
Maybe it's common knowledge to some, but it wasn't to me and I've seen quite a few people mention it over the years. Once fields are out it's hard to know what the exact conditions of the race were. Short of having a gazette which changes anyway...
From time to time, usually within this Australian Forum you will see members banned without an explanation, and may wonder why. 99% of the time it is because these accounts are created by one of two people who have nothing better to do then to...
With ongoing drug scandals in Australia it's important that everybody understands what can and can't be said on a public forum from a legal perspective. A public forum IS NOT the same as chatting to people at the track. Legally it's akin to...
FOALS - SALES RESULTS - PARTICIPATION - % NEW OWNERS - % X OWNERS - REGISTRATIONS - TRAINERS v WINS - BETTING - FIELD SIZES - EXTENDED NOMS. Only the authorities have full access to statistics that tells more about where our industry is and how...
To make sure I balance out my negativity, I am starting this thread and I am going to keep it going (with your help I hope). I think I may have started such a thread long ago but this time I want it to flourish. It must not be in place of positive...

Can someone please explain LCRT to me> Says last chance to race truly but what are the ramifications of that statement?

There have been some comments around improving/evolving our racing getting an airing on twitter but I thought I’d make my comments here.( Yes I can’t write that short and I don’t have a twitter account) STANDING STARTS: one question I’ve never...
This partly duplicates some other threads but their titles did not say what I wanted. Elsewhere Kyle (Amlin) has pointed out that we have an exclusive contract with Sky but the sooner we can renegotiate this the better. Elsewhere I have also sung...
What are your feelings about the changes in the harness whip rules over the last year or so? Personally, I am quite happy with them now myself, but have the feeling from talking to some harness "people" that they think that reverting back to how...
Sad to hear that Trevor Martin passed away a few days ago. He was a Stawell based trainer, driver and breaker for many decades, best known for Dark Paul but must have trained hundreds of winners. A great bloke and friend , will be sadly missed.
Good news from www.harnessracing.com McCarthy's fast start at Big M: 14 wins/50 starts The early returns are in, and so far--as the Meadowlands driver colony is concerned--it's been all Andrew McCarthy, all the time. The 32-year-old native...
Controversial Kev again but how can it be good for our struggling industry to see so much money go across the ditch? Add in the fact that it makes many think purchasing NZ horses makes more sense than breeding Oz I know they are not always this...
This is the day after Melton's first round of heats on the Saturday evening - what a long weekend you can have Stawell have a Super offer available Bus travel from Melton on the Sunday 2 course meal on Stawell Cup day plus racebook and...
I think these kind of posts often end up in Odds and Ends so I thought I might try giving them their own thread. Quite often they can be covered in the 2yo thread but sometimes it is not a 2yo that you want to highlight such as tonight in Race 4...
