    HRV's mini calendar on the home page of thetrots.com.au is still missing today (they may have had an excuse yesterday as there was no meetings)
    It is the most important thing on the page as it is how people access the fields directly
    I have emailed them, in the mean time you can either go to their calendar via racing tab or use the HRA site

    ps Yesterday HRA's horse search would not take you from a Sires Progeny Summary page to lists of winners etc. They have assured me that they will fix it this morning

    Once again Belinda in HRV admin got back to me quickly saying she had forwarded to Communications
    but once again no reply from them
    For the whole day, the Warragul fields have not been front and centre on HRV's homepage
    and more than likely Shep tonight will not be either

    I will put it bluntly - some people at HRV are falling down in their role

    ps As they promised, HRA have the Sires Progeny Summary page of their Horse Search up and running again

    Peaces Of You, Final Peace.
    The whole website has gone down hill lately in my opinion. No trading ring, trial results take 4 or 5 days to show up if they even do. Still old news stories on front.

    Why cant we have links to the trial replays as well ?

    Wasn't the site recently sold off ?
    Don't die wondering !

    Feel for the Echuca club - IMO they did not get much for their buck, their $35,000 bucks as far as this year's Cup field

    Am I the only one who would like to see the nasal strips plastered on some horses banned eg Im Sir Blake last night
    Our horses wear enough gear without defacing them further

    "Defacing" - really? Perhaps you need to talk to some race car engineers Kev. They might convince you about the importance of cold airflow into the engine as a fundamental means of improving performance. Nasal strips do the same for horses by ensuring the nostrils remain open. They are not an equine fashion accessory.

    Note also Australasia's most successful stable, All Stars, seems to use them on every runner, not just from a performance view but also animal welfare. The reason you don't see them on every horse, I believe, is cost. If you have a horse racing from the Purdon-Rassmussen stable it's part of the deal.

    What will we do when it is proven that a Cathy Freeman type full body suit will shave seconds off a horses time

    At the bottom of the main forum page you will see Currently Active Users which tells you who is online

    You will notice it states

    Most users ever online was 5,810, 4 Weeks Ago at 01:48 AM.

    Users does not mean members but can anyone explain to me how/why we would have that many online at that time!

    Get a Cathy Freeman suit for the horses, I suppose.

    They are not performance enhancing drugs. As much as we oldies reminisce about hickory sulkies and leather harness and hopples that era has long passed.

    Come to think of it, who other than Cathy wore that suit? I recall a similarly attired model in all the advertising material for the "new" Holden Monaro way back in 1968!
