It must be compulsory for stewards to QIP when a longshot gets up
Honey Please won her first race at Ballarat tonight and received a QIP
She is a 2yo trotter, she has only been racing THIS MONTH and this was her 4th start.
She only rated 2.09. I hope they answered "she is just learning the caper"

R SANDERS
A/ CHIEF STEWARD in Qld. Prob a bit late but I didn't know.
Dear oh Dear, I honestly thought a completely different direction might have worked better, block eye winkers are best suited to horses as well!
People who are gullible enough to believe the "line" they are fed are usually best suited to roles as followers rather than leaders! but try telling them that! ha ha ha

Is 'Racing Queensland' really where we are supposed to get QLD harness news? (It is where HRA takes you when you click on QLD under States)
The first story they have under What Is Happening Now is the Latest Ranking for Qbred Triad finals - the finals were run weeks ago

His appointment was for one month starting July 15 as Acting Chief Steward.
May only be a coincidence but the applications for Vic General Manager Integrity closed 25 July.
The track must have been fast at Yarra Valley today - although that does not really explain how a 2R0 race could be the quickest of the day (including a C4-6)
How did Miss Victoria run that time after having to work for the lead from the outside of the mobile
This race warranted a QIP. She went 1.56.1 which has to be up there with the best of 2yo times here.
The closest she has come to going that fast would have been 2 starts back when beaten by 51.7m when they went 1.54.8 at Melton
She has been freshened up since then but her first run back she had a cushy run and was beaten 15.7m when they rated 2.05
The only thing that may partly explain the improvement is that the 3rd and 4th horses have also grown another leg
They must have known she had improved as she was $70 at Kilmore when the fav was $3.30 while today she was $11.50 when the fav was $1.40 (first starter who ran 2nd)

I was undecided whether to put this post here or in the Speed Explosion thread - it seemed to me that it belonged here after my post 132 and I suppose they can say she is learning the caper BUT it sure was some improvement

Trial super last week at Melton Kev. See trial 2 results. Then while you're looking, check Trial 6 result. http://www.harness.org.au/trial-resu...?trialId=17360
It is a massive way to get your first win after a dozen starts. The C1 was quicker Kev by a hair, but based on that time look out if Miss Victoria starts to improve as 2&3 y/o' normally do.
Thanks Pat and Paul, the only thing with that trial win Paul is the time - sure it is a trial but unlike Trial 6 it is not within cooee of what she ran yesterday and Melton is a faster track but maybe she had plenty in reserve, incredible what a few weeks rest did for her
Do stewards consider trial wins when considering QIP's - if they did, then all trial results would have to go in the form guide to keep the public in the loop
