    Trots Vision on Saturday night at Melton is the only way to watch the trots
    Rob Auber and Dan Mielicki do a fantastic job
    This is where you will get comprehensive analysis, race coverage and interviews of Melbourne's Metro meeting with no distractions/pollution from other codes - where the time is taken to do our code justice.
    It is free people and runs for the entire length of the meeting
    It is heaven for trots enthusiasts

    A coup for Queensland harness racing.
    Not reported anywhere, but a superstar landed in Brisbane today and will make it her home for a couple of months. I'll leave it to you to work out her identity.

    Edit: Sorry Trev but with the no Ifs or Buts rule I had to take out that it is 'bad news for Qld's fillies and mares '(who said that )

She should pick up a fillies or mares race at Albion Park, you'd think! Either that or stay in NZ and be thrown to the wolves in free for alls.

    She is a little star and very charismatic to watch.

    WA now provides sectional times for each horse. Whether punters use this information I'm not sure but from a trainer's perspective, it provides a great lens into how your horse performed when coming from back in the field. MORE OF THIS!

    That is Very much a positive Katie
    It took me a while to get my head around metres gained. To give me a quicker picture of the race (and save me some maths) I would like it if they had a column saying how many metres each horse was off the lead at the 800m (add margin and metres gained/lost) and maybe highlight the 800 leader (the one whose margin + metres gained/lost is the same, this number is always a loss unless they led at the 800 and went onto win, in which case it will be zero)

    Race 6 for GP on 11/8 is a good one for learning how to interpret the table see below

    https://www.rwwa.com.au/harness-hub/...k_11082020.pdf

    9th placed American Rock the death horse as he has a (1) in the column after his 800 time was actually the leader as his Margin and Metres Gained (Lost) are the same ie 20.3
    The winner Lord Rosco (who was on the pegs as he has a 0 after the 800 time) although he won by .5m and beat the bell leader (above) by 20.3m he had a gain of +.6m in the last 800 as that is how far he was off the 800 leader
    2nd placed The Black Cardinal finished stronger as he had a gain of +5.1m but he had been 5.6m (5.1 gain + 0.5 margin) off the bell leader and so was .5m off despite running 0.33 faster for the last 800
    you could say Be On Guard held on for 3rd place as he lost -2.3m in the final 800. He ended up 7.1m behind the winner so he must have been only 4.8m behind the bell leader
    Last placed Gonzo Shadow lost -10.9m in the final 800. He ended up 21.9m behind the winner so he must have only been 11m behind the bell leader

    I did this to make it clearer for myself but I am not sure I have helped LOL

    I am now wondering whether a table in finishing order with each individuals LT, Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 (with the fastest for each split highlighted) and their posn (including width) for each split might actually suit me better as I am clearly still struggling with metres gained

    ps I was up bloody early looking at this so may be there is a little sleep deprivation thrown in

    WA are positively trying to help

    You cannot beat the actual Video Replays (the greatest positive of this century)

    I agree somewhat, a position at bell column would be helpful.
    This company actually provides this data for every state and the costs aren't exorbitant. pgdata.com.au
    If I was a punter, I'd for sure sign up for this
