Congratulations on Driving your 5000th Winner.

Hi all. I'm new to the forum. Just curious if anyone can give me an idea on what training fees are like with Harness Racing. I have owned racehorses before and now with family and mortgage can not afford this. Out of work ATM so cant afford...

Home by just short of 3m in the Nyah Pacing Cup, 1:58.4 from the stand over 2,790m. 54.8 last half.

http://www.trotstv.com.au/?id=11106 I think this is pretty good! Haven't seen it aired on commercial tv, fox or sky - but I haven't watched much TV lately so it may well have been.

Back at the trials on 15/10/13 with a win. Last quarter 26.5, otherwise a leisurely stroll. Great to see him back. He will be a major player on the GC for mine. The more depth the better.

First and foremost I hope no-one has been seriously injured. Will have to wait to see the replay, Michael Formosa ($4) trailed the tiring leader, which had been headed and under pressure (?) has drifted off the track allowing Hey Hardy (Formosa)...

Should be a great summer of racing this year at Gloucester Park with Bettor Cover Lover arriving mid October and Bit Of A legend here for the Golden Nugget and 2 or 3 other races. Sure there will be others to follow.:cool:

I was wondering if anyone else has trouble getting Trots Tv replays with Optus (mobile broadband) as their internet service provider? If I change over to my Telstra mobile broadband I don't have a problem and yet when I run a speed test on both...

I had the pleasure to attend Maitland on Saturday night. I must say that there is nothing better than a warm spring night at the trots, reminded me of going to the trots with my late father when I was a child. The only down side to the night was...

Has Menangle moved? 42 of the 68 starters on Sat night have an NZ on the end of their name.

I will start on a good note and say good on Smoken Up. As for Carribean Blaster, can no doubt be driven tough, but is better coming with a sit IMHO. Don't know if tactics are what's best for the horse or just because Kate can't hold him. Couldn't...

I would love the views of everyone in regards to this. I agree totally that from a betting and not to mention owners point of view we do need to regulate the weights in a way that is fair the light weight riders giving their mounts a distinct...

Another nail in the coffin of QLD harness racing industry with the loss of the Gold Coast complex. To many tracks lost in this great state to see it coming back. What a shame. It will continue to exist, but only to a few. Prize money continues to...

Wow what a totally new horse. This guy had some ability in a second level kinda way as a trotter in Vic, has recently gone to Menangle with Rickie Alchin for 4 starts 4 impressive wins against NSW best trotters! Will be interesting at this point...

Does anyone know why Shane Tritton has no runners this weekend?? Is this some form of protest over being targetted by stewards over the last couple of weeks.

At last the Thoroughbred Industry has caught up with the Europeans. HRA surely will follow. http://www.racenet.com.au/news/93291/ARB-bans-steroids-at-all-times-in-'watershed-moment'...

Major Breeding Initiatives Announced Sunday15 September 2013

I heard Sam Nati on the radio today and I think his comments are at best laughable. Sam does not think a ridiculous $2200 on importing New Zealand horses is having an impact on field sizes. Sam there are 26 of 59 horses at Menagle on...
