Forum: New Zealand Harness Racing

similar to the thread about the number of racecourses been to - I had my first trip to Omakau yesterday and what a real neat track - the number of people picnicking under the trees would have made it impossible to estimate the numbers on course but...

I raced many times against her in both the USA and in Europe with a trotter named Quick Work. What ever happened to this mare ? Who did they breed her to ? and what did her foals do ? Are her owners still active in the horse business ? My...

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

How bad is this drive on the odds on favourite, Escapee in R7 at Addington on Friday night http://harness.hrnz.co.nz/gas/wa/r/infohorsewahr/wsd01x?Arg=hrnzg-Ptype&Arg=RaceVideo&Arg=hrnzg-RacehdrID&Arg=194202 This is the type of drive that will...

Not sure about the rain but Isaiah looks tough from this side of the ditch. Does tend to over race in the field so when the big money is up they tend to send him. Brilliant win at Auckland in December over 2200, blasting the gate and ran them off...

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,...

this afternoon, thought the site was a gonner! Hope it was a just a minimal glitch. ::confused:

You have to feel for Waiau Pa horseman, Brent Mangos. Just hours after he won the Victoria Oaks with Bettor Cover Lover the champion fiilly almost died on her way home - ensuring a sad but sudden end to her brilliant yet brief racing career. Read...

Hi, I`ve been wondering what has become of the pacer, "Just Ned", who I followed for a while, and who won a race about June last year, but has never raced again, as far as I`m aware. I wonder whether he may have been sold and exported to...

Good on Cran Dalgety and Addington for getting behind the high end claimers. I find NZers seem reticent to put a price on their horse in case someone is just around the corner willing to offer them more. At the low-end the way Mighty Memories...

How would I contact the ower (family) of Petit Evandor. I doubt the two guys I shipped around with in Europe when I was caretaker for Quick Work are still alive ? Please have them contact me. Richard DuCHARME

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.

Hi, I've been searching for videos online of a couple of races at Addington won by Iraklis/Ricky May. They were major races so I was hopeful that I'd be able to find them, but I've had no luck so far. If anyone knows they exist and can point me...

Any body hiring or know of anybody hiring in NZ please PM me. Canadian citizen looking to move to either Aus or NZ to work in Harness Racing. Thanks

Ever since the announcement by the TAB that Trackside was moving off free to air and on to Sky Tv, I have been waiting for HRNZ to lambast the decision and announce it would fight for its retention in its present format. The silence has been...

Does anyone know which company (if one exists) provides race winner photos in the North Island? I know there are a couple of guys who do it down south but can't see anything on Alex Park or HRNZ websites. - Cheers Shakamaker21

I enjoy watching and betting on South Island trot meetings. Form seems to be easier to follow and trial and workout results are beneficial too. Somehow, when I bet on North Island races my money turns to vapour. I cannot get a handle on the form...

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...
