    That was incredible improvement by Credit Master to run 1.53.1 while sitting in the death

    How does he beat Tough Monarch (6th) on his two previous runs?

    You would not be expecting a trotter from
    Captaintreacherous x Smyrna Duruisseau
    but Be My Star has now won 2/2 (this month)
    She is a half sis to Follow The Stars
    (apologies if I have posted this somewhere already - it sounds really familiar to me)

    PP rightly asks this morning, how could the VSTA award Kalarney Heidi trotter of the year when she was unplaced in her two Gp starts while on the other hand all Maori Law's races were Gp status with him winning two Gp1's and three Gp3's

    It is a very valid question to ask and I am sure a spokesperson for the VSTA will provide an answer.

    Just to show how much I have dropped the ball I plead guilty of never having heard of the winner. However, less than $40,000 for the season would suggest I haven't missed the second coming of Maoris Idol or Scotch Notch. Maybe the VSTA doesn't recognise interstate performances for the award.

    That is what PP thought it would be but then he found a members list which had the Crews on it

    Favourite for the Gp1 2yo fillies tonight Valerie Lane has interesting breeding

    Her 2nd dam Chancery Lane was a nice trotting mare who won 11 of 28 but was pacing bred

    Her dam Valsue was also by pacing sire Elsu but they already knew her older full brother was nice trotter Prescient BUT they also knew that her outstanding (juvenile) oldest half brother Lord Of The Gym was by Muscles Yankee so they must have thought a lot of Prescient (who only raced for 20mths) to go to Elsu again. PS. Valsue's half bro Lord Chancellor is still going around in SA

    When you go back to her 3rd dam, pacer Streets Of London you see that she had 3 trotting bred siblings and an older full bro that trotted come before her and 3 more trotting bred siblings come after her

    So although the first and 2nd dam were sired by almost exclusively pacing sires you can see that 4th dam Carla Hanover set this up to be a trotting arm of the family

    ClassicFamilies is fantastic eg It even has the info that Carla Hanover's sire Danny Hanover won 9 races at Harold Park (including a 59 Derby heat)
    How is it that HRA's online records are so poor for Australia (I have been told you probably cannot rely on their records pre 2000) when ClassicFamilies covers the whole world (only Classic winners, but still)

    PP is suggesting that one of the reasons Australian punting on NZ harness racing has declined is

    On average about 2-3 of the races on each card are trotting events, which don't appeal to Australian punters.

    I have no evidence of this, I don't know whether PP has, but if it is so why are we pushing the trotting gait?

    Last night 6 of the 12 races at Bendigo were trots

    Locksley Lover has some very serious talent

    In the main trot, I can see why James Herbertson got a QDT on Nephew Of Sonoko - what was he thinking!
