Reply With QuoteCould anyone offer a reason why the replay of this race is not available on the results page of the Australian Harness Racing website via Trots TV for this race?
Is there another source where the replay could be viewed?
We have seen a few of these sort of drives in recent times and penalties have been handed out duly for them. Interesting to see how the Bathurst panel views the drives. Unfortunately it is customary that we have to wait till next week before the report comes out. Time to hit the hay buddy.Originally Posted by aussiebreno

If you're talking about the Bathurst race, its up now on trots tv
watching it right now
It is there on Trots TV if anyone does wish to see it, thanks Norman. But the vision is not posted on the Australian Harness Racing results page, even though all other replays are. Thanks mate. I reckon it looks worse the second time.
Didn't look good the 1st time i watched it. Can't bring myself to watch it a second time
The abbreviated stewards report from the results page on http://www.harness.org.au/meeting-re...H090312&ms=nsw on race 9 indicates the stewards have inquired into the tactics of John O'Shea on the favourite which we will read about in the full report this week, and an inquiry has been opened into Trent Rue's drive. Thank Christ someone noticed it. The silence on these drives is deafening on this forum! We all bang on about improving the image of the sport and when confronted with the very reason the game is on the nose to the run-of-the-mill punter (the life bloods of the sport) no-ones got anything to say!!
An interesting and maybe completely irrelevant fact Brad is that John O'Shea drove all of that trainer's horses until not long ago, also when he ( O'Shea) decided to attack for the lead there appeared from the replay to be a bit of aggression there.The abbreviated stewards report from the results page on http://www.harness.org.au/meeting-re...H090312&ms=nsw on race 9 indicates the stewards have inquired into the tactics of John O'Shea on the favourite which we will read about in the full report this week, and an inquiry has been opened into Trent Rue's drive.

I'll have to take another look at that Danno. I am so used to seeing John drive really well controlled races and have never, ever been worried about backing his drives. He usually gives his horses the best opportunity to perform as competitively as possible.
The drive's by both was bloody disgraceful glad i wasn't the owner of either having to put up with brain snap's like that it's hard enough to get a win without this sort of driving happening.For mine at least 6 week's each minimum .
Have whoever you want on but don't ever have yourself on
http://www.harness.org.au/stewards-r...fm?mc=BH090312 has finally been posted this morning in relation to both drives. They have adjourned the inquiry of Mr T Rue to allow interviewing of the trainer Mr P Trevor-Jones, view betting transactions and view previous runs of Happy Camper.
The stewards advised Mr O'Shea that his explanation is noted and the matter remains open pending further investigation.
The driver of the winner Mr D Costa was fined for excessive use of the whip in a flicking motion. The winner Buddys Spider had indifferent form since returning from a spell (except for a sparkling third at Blayney) and started at $4.90 third favourite.
Is there something crook in Tullarook? Stay tuned...watch this space.
