Just wanted to know what people think on the group of junior drivers at present

The season is over for brilliant 4yo For A Reason. A devastated trainer/driver Luke McCarthy has revealed that his star pacer has a bone chip on his nearside hind fetlock which will require some minor surgery followed by a lengthy spell. The horse...

WOW What a mile cut out by Lance and Smoken Up 1:48.5 just amazing.

Fields out for both Monday and Tuesday. Should we have a contest for the winner of each final?

This is a VERY good filly. 2nd last at the bell, 3 wide at the rear from around the 600m & gunned them down in the stretch. G. Sugars again.

Now the B sample has come back positive, making the swab for the ID 11 Final positive not irregular, the lawyer speak begins. For someone with nothing to hide, as Lance said at the start, his lawyer now does all the talking. . . . why, it is not a...

It going to be like watching a race from Kumeu or Wangiora or some other obscure location from NZ. Will be the biggest field I've seen in Aust.

There were no holds barred... very entertaining and exciting to watch! ;)

To all the New South Welshmen posters on here, when is construction expected to begin of the on course stabling facilities at Menangle? And when is its expected completion? I understand that prizemoney is to increase 1st July, so with those sorts of...

As we have the fastest track in Australia , it's surely time for an update to the software used for recording race times at Menangle. Great to hear quarters broadcast during the race but why do we wait one to two minutes after a race is run to...

Jesse Moore has 1st starter Spot The Shark (6) in Race 2 at Gloucester Park tonight, a Qualifying Heat of the 2yo colts & geldings Pearl Classic. A son of a winning Armbro Operative mare Spring Carnival, the colt is thus line-bred 3x3 to the great...

I remember when Sam Nati took over Harness Racing NSW , he spoke that he would put a lot more emphasis of having more claiming races throughout the state. Don't have time to follow all meetings , but I really don't remember seeing many at all...

What constitutes a "junior" driver.

http://www.harness.org.au/news-article.cfm?news_id=16190 Commencing Saturday 11 June, for a three month trial period, the arrival time for all runners for all meetings at Tabcorp Park Menangle, will be two hours prior to their engagement. ...

I've been meaning to post on this subject for a while now but I keep getting sidetracked. The last time I was at the track there was a relatively young fella with an iPad in hand and he was furiously punting away via various sites...from what he...

It's a great idea by Harness Racing n.s.w to upload the trials from Menangle so they can be watched by anyone. I think this is a step in the right direction and will be widely welcomed by the punter.
