    That is bad news. Hopefully it is only temporary and that the club is back up and running soon.

    That's a shame about Peak Hill, i went there 2 yrs ago to a meeting not expecting much but to my amazement the racing was great and there was a huge crowd who turned up for the day. The thing i find strange is that they cut clubs back on race day's only to give a couple of club's some extra who already have sufficient.

    16-7-2011 and 24-7-2011 were the last meeting's. When were the meeting's in y12 or are these included in this year's racing season even though they are before the season 11/12 start's ? Just trying to understand thing's a bit better.

    I agree with most of what Phil has explained of the sport as I spent most of the 80's & 90's involved in the sport and it was only due to the integrity issues of the sport that I left. I have tried to re enter the sport as an owner several times to only be disillusioned and let down by trainers (positives). The bad side to it all is I spend $6k a month on 4 horses in the gallops to a country trainer. My main issue is every time I want to get back into the sport you have Harness trainers quoting around the $50 per day mark but want you to race for minor prizemoney yet in the gallops I pay $50 a day to race for 4 times the prizemoney, so its not comparable. if I want my horse trained by a no name harness trainer with 2-3 in work then it costs around $25 per day. So it's not only an integrity issue with the sport it's the sustainability.

    Look at the program for Goulburn next Monday http://www.harness.org.au/fields.cfm?mc=LM300315
    Question: Are the trainers and or owners getting the shits with the C2 or better (we will decide the fields) ruling. Not one race for C2 or better.
    You can only change the Mickey Mouse grading so many times to suit the numbers before the ones paying for it say enough.
