I was reminded today that the best way to view this forum is to click on NEW POSTS which is on the 2nd toolbar at the top of the page. I had missed out on seeing a couple of posts I did not want to miss and using NEW POSTS would have made sure I...
"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...

For Tuesday night, random draw instead of trainer split can simply end up the same although. The Stewart stable was the only one with enough runners for it to be a serious concern The stables with multiple runners would mostly be happy especially...
Chris Alford is off to a flying start for the season with a 44% winning strike rate from his 34 drives so far http://www.harness.org.au/ausbreed/reports/top20/index.cfm/drivers/default/sort/wins?d=10092018 Especially amazing when his main...
Can someone please explain LCRT to me> Says last chance to race truly but what are the ramifications of that statement?
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...
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...

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...
https://www.thetrots.com.au/news/articles/breeding-bonus-115-5k-of-certificates-may-june/ 77 fillies and mares races in Vic in May/June will give the breeder a $1,000 stallion discount and the owner a $500 stallion discount (Note: moved from...
The integrity departments need to find a way to fix the arsenic problem. It is pointless testing for it if nobody can be found guilty on the basis that it cannot be excluded that the level of arsenic was not the result of the horse consuming wood...
Thanks Wayne however the bird has flown. Leroy is walking away from the sport for the time being. In his words "its just too hard". Maybe why I am a little emotional about the industry and the way it is heading. I gave my license up for the same...

Inspired by fellow poster on this Forum Messenger, aka Kevin O'Donoghue who's 40 years following the trots has had him essentially ignore the good old Squaregaiter, i have decided to open a thread dedicated to the Trotters only. As Kev has alluded...

Wet weather has seen me enjoying Trots Vision and reading John Bradley's Modern Pacing Sire Lines (1999) between races. I thought I might share a few interesting facts in this thread while recommending JB's book which I think is still available ...
Vic has its first 2yo race on Friday at Maryborough Only 7 starters but 6 different sires including first season sires Follow The Stars and a Hurrikane Kingcole No standouts amongst the dams (yet) but some nice 2nd dams ...
Having resubscribed to Sky2 for the Jewels, I thought I would turn it on and have a look at the US racing this morning I wonder whether there are minimum size pools which make it viable for the TAB to offer betting on a meet R1 Hoosier Park...
First of all Catch Your Breath going 1.53.9 at Kilmore on Sunday and today Fearless Leader going 1.55.9 at Horsham. How many more records will fall this summer?
HBNSW have distributed a copy of HRAs proposed ratings based handicapping system to their members requesting feedback. Not sure if any other industry groups have done likewise yet. ...
https://infohorse.hrnz.co.nz/datahrs/fields/060132fd.htm 3 of the races have only 1 All Stars starter so there is some hope that they may win less than the 6 wins out of 9 that they recorded last year
