    ps I will have to re-register for Harnessweb if so.
    It is Kevin. It has more active links however, as you can click on a trainer and get their details and future engaged horses etc.

    Thanks Glen - it certainly is an improvement but wouldn't it be nice if there was a Trainer column in the Performance Summary.
    I guess I will just have to click on the race code for any race where there has been a change of driver to see if there has been a change of trainer too
    Got me beat however that the Drivers are considered more important than the Trainer and get their own column in the performance summary
    Cheers Mate

    ps Would you agree that it would be more user friendly if the performance summary begun with most recent start but the Last Page button is a godsend

    LOL just noticed that when he won first up for 4yrs in June 2013, the stewards queried the run. WTF aren't you allowed to bring a horse to the races ready to run. Paid $52.80

    The sort of thing stipes do Kev..... about 5 years ago, we took a mare that hadn't raced for over 3 years to the races and they got the vet to check the horse out while it was standing in the raceday stables!!!! Poor vet what was he supposed to do there?? I just told him to go and back her 'cos I thought she could win, which she duly did at just under $40 !!! yeehaa, vet never said anything but he had a smile on his face next time I saw him!

    Vet checking a horse that hasn't started for 6 months or longer always amuses because I am yet to see the stewards vet check a 7 or 8 year old debutante! Seems inconsistent to me.

    Love it Dan. I googled for a happy vet pic and now I am going to go off at a tangent. I always loved 'All Creatures Great And Small' and my google search produced this pic.
    I was disappointed when Lynda Bellingham replaced Carol Drinkwater as Helen Herriot - now I can see it was really wardrobe who was to blame!

    Teecee is going to chastise me for derailing threads (but I did start the thread Tony) but for those of you struggling to remember the characters (and anyone under 50!)

    A bit sexist I know Toni, but when that image came up in a google search for happy vet, I wondered what it could have to do with happy vet - you could have blown me over with a feather when I read that she had played Helen Herriot
