To settle a dispute, can someone please tell me who trained Greenwald in the early 1970's. I know that Jack McGrath bred the horse, not sure who trained him. Many thanks.

http://www.harness.org.au/fields.cfm?mc=KI190316&fromstate=vic#7 I would like to think that that field should bring a few through the gate How would they split Almost El Eagle and Young Modern for who should be emergency?

Happy to share a bit of success with you. http://www.harnessmediacentre.com.au/trotstv/replays/24697

I cannot see why we are doing this unless we are that desperate for runners - at best it seems a gimick See Maryborough today - Races 1&2, 8&9 http://www.harness.org.au/fields.cfm?mc=QP040516&fromstate=vic

I Believe the time has come to get rid of the breeders crown and put that money into 2-3 vic breed series and increase the vicbred bonus.

Good article this about one of the regulars on here. Makes a change to see a story that is not about the high profile people. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-04-20/a-night-at-the-trots:-harness-racer-danny-keeps-the-game-alive/7336034 And...

I crossed over enemy lines today and went to Sandown gallops. It struck me how having the birdcage right in front of the winning post is integral to the theatre of the whole meet. Which of our tracks have the parade ring front and centre?...

Had dinner tonight at the large sports bar at Barwon Heads - maybe it is a sign of the times but no fields much less a form guide were up for Mildura tonight. Nothing at all was up except the afternoon's races which had been run and won hours...

Their only home meeting for the year but with a most respectable $14.5k for both the pacers and trotters cups http://www.harness.org.au/fields.cfm?mc=SA091114&fromstate=vic With a home straight of only 150m - is there a track (still in use)...

It is near on a procession if a good horse get to the lead at Melton. I know those stats I did a long time ago showed only 41% of leaders winning so maybe tonight is a little out of the ordinary but so far we have had leaders winning most races -...

Daphne Pocock, wife of legendary trainer Ken Pocock, and mother of pioneering female driver, trainer Roma passed away peacefully in the family home opposite Lord's Raceway in Bendigo on Friday, April 1st. Daphne was involved with Harness Racing...

Has anyone else heard HRNSW and NSWHRC are looking to do a 3month trial of the metro meetings being on a Wednesday night. They are looking to own a night and with the influx of overseas gallops races want to make a change from the usual Saturday...

http://www.harnesslink.com/Australia/FW--Inter-Dominion-Media-Release I wonder what time it will be run. I thought the Sunday arvo was all about getting the Eastern states and NZ involved - that would seem to be out the door now. Friday night...

Just looked up and last time travelled up to Wangaratta trots was 29 years ago. Went up last night as had a horse in. One of the tracks closed but re-opened for their cup meeting each year. Cup on last night and big crowd there. The crowd is...

Many will have read this but I would not want anybody to miss it so here is the link http://www.harnesslink.com/Australia/Friendship-key-ingredient-in-ownership-for-Zee-Dana-crew

An excellent article by Michael Howard with good use of links to HRV's 'The Trots' on Youtube (good to see near HD 720p available) even if a couple of them were a bit short http://www.harness.org.au/news-article.cfm?news_id=29165 Yannick will...

couldn't find a thread that this should belong to, so please Kev and Rich re-assign if you can. After watching this replay of Wagga Trots last Friday night a number of times and not being able to read the stewards report, cos it' not posted...
