Does anyone know if he still drives them in work
A track that has a decent dining room (esp one that opens onto the track) is a big positive. On a somewhat average day like yesterday at Stawell, the dining room was a good harness place to be. The family and friends of Judith and James McLeod were all enjoying a meal together on James McLeod & Judith McLeod Memorial day, the boys from David O Jones Mitre 10 hardware were treated to a special meal as sponsors of one of the races and the whole room had a good vibe.

The weather may be grey but a respectable crowd here at Horsham today - maybe school holidays help (and there isn't a pony trot to attribute it to)

Shelbourne ..(a disused school, some tennis courts, there was once a railway station) and the Eastman stables and track ...on the way to Marybrough from Bendigo has hit the headlines.
Six Winners this week from the stables of Larry and Lynette Eastman
Three Group Ones at Melton last Saturday, a double at Maryborough on Wednesday, and then off to Queensland for a Gold Coast Derby with Menin Gate ( below) and a second in the Oaks with Morton Plains last night.
This is one of the best things I've seen in a long time!!!

Scott Torney has driven quiet a few winners actually but l think the relief may have come as this horse has been in winning positions before and has made mistakes but he was run queried a couple of times when he has been in the placings or just behind the placegetters the question being asked was showing lack of vigor. as he wasnt game to use the whip. anyway well done Scotty the hard work has paid off.
We had 2 x 2yr olds in at Bathurst one night both in seperate divisions ( colts and a fillies ) The colt sat 1x1 and won untouched and the filly led and half way up the straight was going to sleep the driver gave her one across the back side, she bucked twice and ended up winning by a head oh so lucky to have finished without hitting the deck after this the whip wasn't used again on her she just didn't enjoy it even being wiped with it she would play up.
Have whoever you want on but don't ever have yourself on
Crombie A sets all-age Yonkers track record
Up first was Crombie A (Brian Sears, $5.60), who earned his place in the record book with the fastest mile ever in Westchester not involving plane, train or automobile. Leaving from post position No. 4 as the 9-5 favorite, Crombie A had no choice but to watch as Forty Five Red (George Brennan) threw down the gauntlet…as in :26.3, :54.2 and 1:21.4.
If Forty Five Red was done off those numbers, he didn't get the memo. Texican N (Eric Carlson) was closing ranks from a loose pocket, while Crombie A, floating off the cones from fourth in an understandably gapped-out field, was hitting his best stride.
Forty Five Red had a length-and-a-quarter lead into the lane, but the fractions were finally catching up with him. He hung tough, but faltered late. Crombie A ended up outgaming Texican N by three-quarters of a length in a life-best 1:50.1.
San Carlo is the REAL DEAL
If you missed Swan Hill last night have a look at this
http://www.harness.org.au/meeting-re...ic#QBC19081503
He sat 3wide and won by 12m untouched in 1.55.6 (The track was fast but that is only .4 secs outside the Tk Rec and have a look at how he did it)
That is now 5/5 wins
Here is Cody's article after his 4th win
http://www.harnesslink.com/News/San-...ht=san%20carlo
He is from the N23 family which has produced a few champions. He is closely related to Staccato and Sheza Mona and Whirley Dream are from the same branch of the family
