I have to confess I am talking through my kick here but did anyone see the drive by Lauren Panella on Suave Stuey Lombo at Menangle on Saturday night? She hammered the second favourite Mach Alert going a lead time of 48.5, first half in 57.5 over 2300 metres! Those times are simply not sustainable. Where did those 2 horses finish? Beaten a total of over 110 metres between them. How can you bet on harness racing when such cowboy tactics are routinely employed by 'leading drivers'. What happened to a PLAN B? She completely ruined the chances of both horses in the race.

Interested to hear other people's thoughts........
