Forum: Europe Harness Racing

I know when racing in Quebec was going strong, French-bred horses ended up in Quebec. Is anyone aware of the best French-imports currently racing in North America.

For information: For those who are interested in trotting from the Nordic countries, there is a website that shows live trotting from Sweden, Norway and Denmark etc. It's called https://maharajah.live Regads /John

I am working on a secret project, is there a form or publication that I could look at to see a trotters past performances?

unfortunately there was not enough time to logistically arrange all the blood work, and travel documents. Also, my father (John DuCHARME) is 90, and travel is difficult, and thus he could NOT come and watch his horse. VoS is "in" @ The Poconos...

Seems there is very little activity here. I just joined and if anybody wants to discuss European trotting or have any questions either post or please feel free to message me

For an american who has raced in Europe. The level of fan appreciation and support is heartwarming. American " Racinos" would "drop" LIVE racing in a heart-beat IF they are allowed ? I am glad the weather cooperated in Stockholm. When I was...

Norway Trotting has shown some real courage and handed down a suspension worthy of the crime (doping) to French Trainer. Hopefully Sweden will also suspend Fabrice Souloy ? However ? IF they simply allow "trainership" to shift on "paper" to his...

Most drugs get "mixed" into a "cocktail" of general performance drugs that are LEGALLY used 24-72 hours BEFORE the race in that quest to "make the horse FEEL better" (race better) with a veterinarians help as part of THEIR training "skills" And...

This race was very exciting, but a heartbreak as well. It hurts when circumstances beat your horse, and you can't do ANYTHING about it !! QUICK WORK was NOT a easy gate horse. And getting him "out" and thru the first turn was always a...

Sebastian Coe, or at least someone like him to grab this issue of PED's by the horns, and wrestle it to the ground ? If he didn't already have a job ? I would say HIRE him ! ...

I have to ask what happens in Europe when you use a mobile start and a horse resfuses to come to the starting gate as soon as it begins moving. Do punters lose their wager, do you have a recall or what? In Canada, they have a fair start rule...

HIPA - Health Information Privacy Act. Does Europe have such a rule ? I don't know ? Horses are considered AGRICULTURAL PROPERTY, not any different than a cow, pig, or chicken. They can be bought, sold, and even "slaughtered" purely on the...
