Enough cheek you guys.
They probably cannot do a QIP as that was the horses first performance for the stable but when a horse goes from being a $158 pop to $1.40 in 4 weeks - you have to marvel at the inconsistencies of our game

Where was this July 27 trial Wayne - I cannot find any trials for that day

A bit of poetic licence there Kev, Was he $158 at his last start? Dropping in class at Charlton?
Inconsistencies, as you refer to it, never happen in the gallops?

Obviously the owner, who was the trainer, must have known the horse had ability. Not the first time a horse has been sent to a bigger stable, gallops or trots, to get the best out of him/her even if it's only to access higher quality training partners.

A true inconsistency would be, which I'd imagine the stewards would QPP, was if he performed poorly at his next start.


Shepparton. Trial 1. Via the HRV website Trial replays http://www.hrv.org.au/racing/trial-replays/ and was also on http://www.sheppartonhrc.com.au/ in that week.

I am sorry about the licence taken but originally I did state $158 to $76 to $1.40

I still cannot find that trial Wayne - there is no trials listed for July 26 and neither of those links give me a You Ninety Two trial

Which one of these are you referring to

As posted http://www.hrv.org.au/racing/trial-replays/ - Shepparton. May need to now click Uploads or View all as July 27 trials won't be current.
Similarly, the other link, Shepparton Harness Club site http://www.sheppartonhrc.com.au/ would have been current, still listed, before last night's trials.

As to why the results aren't on http://www.harness.org.au/results/in...search1=Submit they normally are, as shown. Perhaps one of the many unheralded volunteers who keep the show on the road, track record data, trials etc. was absent. May not necessarily be the same person who videos and uploads to youtube enters the results on the HRA site.

Apologies for what might look like ignorance as I hadn't accessed the trial via that page before now. I tend to go to replays so you can see how a trial was run, and the opportunity to clock sectionals rather than just the mile and half mile results.

Have just looked at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aa5Zjcksa48 , the trial, via the HRV Trial Replays page. Comparing the number of views of trials - seems like quite a few didn't miss him, may have something to do with the horse's short price.

Thanks for going to all that trouble Wayne. No wonder he started that short - they certainly didn't try to keep his improvement a secret

Darrel Graham suspended for 4 weeks for moving his $89 drive from the 4 posn to the 5 posn

http://www.harness.org.au/news-artic...?news_id=34554

Were they concerned that it was to help one of his other runners (the eventual winner) take the 4 posn?

The change of tactics rule would seem to have stitched up the $1.40 favourite in R4 at Geelong tonight
The pole marker was supposed to be driven 'more aggressively' and so the favourite (the only horse on the 2nd line) followed it out - no doubt expecting to be leader's back BUT the polemarker never showed any interest in contesting the lead.
The QDT and INQADJ may reveal more

http://www.harness.org.au/meeting-re...ic#GEC23081702

I wonder whether the QDT for Jason Lee in R5 relates to why did he took an extra second to pull 3W after he finally had room, knowing that the death horse had been giving ground for some time

This could have gone in Substances but Stewards Reports will do

http://www.harness.org.au/news-artic...?news_id=34569

So Nathan Turnbull has pleaded guilty to presenting a horse with Cocaine in its system - benzoylecgonine (BE) and ecgonine methyl ester (EME) are the 2 major urinary metabolites of Cocaine

and yet 3 weeks later there is still no decision on penalty?!
