Forum: New Zealand Harness Racing

Hey Thomas Mitchell you were true to your word about making a new style race bike how is it going are there any takers to use your new bike at any NZ meet covered on sky this weekend so we can see a bit more of the bike in action. Has anyone used...

Tonight's ID Pacing Heats are a little bit of a yawn for me aside from seeing whether or not Smiling Shard steps up to the Class. I hope that he does, I think he will....so his race is the most interesting thing on my Radar for this evening.

Anyone know when they'll be available on line...if at all?

Should be a terrific race- Can Smoken Up go one better? What is everyone tipping??

What a day of racing 9 Group 1's can't get much better than that. :)

that was a very good win tonight should have been convincing enough to warrant the trip to the Hunter Cup

A scouring attack has cost the once brilliant Auckland cup champion Auckland reactor from competing in this year's Inter Dominion Championships starting in Christchurch this Friday (March 18). It's sad, but it's true. Read more here. ...

Well done Zac for the past season and good stuff on the way you celebrated - shame they had to fine you $500 - :confused:, One of the few times harness racing gets on mainline TV news in a postive manner:cool: You can't beat enthusiastic youth!! ...

Never thought I would be publically calling for the return of Michael Guerin to Trackside in Nz but here I am and the reason is simple. Like him or loath him Guerin had a knowledge and understanding of harness racing that is sadly lacking on...

Here's a good topic to get this forum underway. The (we are always right and know best) Aussies have decreed that the Trotters Inerdominions are to be scrapped. What do you guys think. As a former owner and breeder of these majestic animals,...

With Terror To Love winning last night it has made the NZ Cup winner as clear as a chocolate milkshake. If Smokin Up arrives, he will clearly be the one to beat otherwise I don't think I have seen any horse announce that he/she will be a clear...

Was watching Trackside tonight and realised the gallopers leave the birdcage, run down to starting gates, load and then they're off. Why is it different for standardbreds, in NZ anyway. They leave the birdcage and seem to do several rounds of the...

Congrats on the new forum guys,look forward to dropping in every now and then for a bit of a yarn.

Last Friday nights meeting at Alexandra Park started at the unbelievably late time of 6.44 pm (usually two races have been run by this time) and finished at 10.50 pm (by which time the lounges were fairly desserted except for a few who obviously had...

What a wee horse this fella is, I don't think there would be many people who would believe this guy would be in the top bunch of 4yo's. Just looked like a natural 2yo who would do alright as an early 3yo and then be caught up and taken over by more...
