Two pacing heats poor prize monies if this is the future then harness racing is doomed. Harness Racing WA attempted to inject some life and interest into the Interdominion but since then it has steadily declined.
I believe that when the TAB is sold in WA ( which is imminent ) They are going to struggle in WA as with the other states.
Now as an observer after 20 years in trotting I can see where this is all going to end.
Many years ago the media was wholeheartedly behind harness racing, promoting the sport at every opportunity with great stories comprehensive form guides now their not the slightest bit interested and without media promotion, you're doomed.
My comments on harness racing are always appearing negative but I'm stating things as I see it wish I had a lot more optimism but alas.
