"It's a conspiracy," joked the New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club's chief executive officer, Shane Gloury. The former Aussie made that light hearted comment to Harnesslink after all of the Australians - barring four time champion Blacks A Fake - copped bad draws at the 2011 Inter Dominion barrier draw harness racing function held at Alexandra Park tonight (Monday April 4).

Top qualifier had the first draw. Bottom qualifer had the last marble.

I made a statement on a previous blog that the only Aussie in the two heats that did not have a good draw was Blacks A Fake and where does he draw in the final - 2. Smoken Up also has a good draw - how many favours does this horse want ? I don't care if they did draw their barriers themselves, I'm still suspicious. However, I do not begrudge Blackie's good draw and good luck to him in the final.

Here here Mighty Atom love to see a 5 times winner by his name
Hi Nat, It would be nice to see Blacky win for the horse and Natalie because she's such a gracious and humble person. I hope I'm wrong but I fear he might not run a place. I think the winner will come from Smoken Up or Mr Feelgood. Unfortunately ITMQ has got a "snowball's chance in hell" from that horror draw.

Blacks A Fake by this weekend would have run in 6 Interdoms - and led in 5!
Blackie gets the nice draws in the finals thats for sure, still an amazing animal though.Originally Posted by Flashing Red
Blacks a fake Interdominion Draws
2006 no 3 Tasmania ,
2007 no 8 Globe Derby,
2008 no 6 Victoria
2009 no 1 Gold Coast
2010 no 3 Menangle
I know he didn't lead in Sydney last year or here in Adelaide in 2007 , made a move about a lap and a quarter from home and got to the death very easily, I really thought McCarthy on BGJ wouldn't give the death up at that stage of the race. Teriffic drive by Rasmussen.
In fact all 5 drives have been spot on - how about in Melbourne when she forced Lance to concede the lead! How often does that happen?
I can visualise Blacks A Fake leading but in no way holding it . I think this time the lead is Smoken Ups for the taking. Blacks a Fake going to the lead Smoken Up moving through and Natalie handing up to Lance and there they sit 1 & 2.
