Very smart move QLD.

Smart but scrooge like as none of the races reach Metro prizemoney which I believe to be $15k

At least they did something that NO other state did.

So anyone know how many points you get for a scratching or non drive.

But looking at this obviously NO one is interested. Except Kev .

PP has a story & he reckons the crowd was great.

And once again nothing on Australian Harness Site about this . Racenet (GALLOPS SITE) & PUNTERS also GALLOPS have stories.
Yes harnesslink has a story but I think its from NZ , correct me if I am wrong.

I don't know how they score it but looking at night 1 you would think Angus Garrard and Gary Hall would be a long way in front

Oops - just saw there is a 2nd page to the story with the Leaderboard and yes those two are a long way in front

I read a summary this morning with explanation of points but I will be blowed if I can find it now ....

They did brilliantly Trish

Apparently turnover more than doubled

* Also interesting to note that PP stated tote turnover is only 10% of total turnover (Corporates) at best

I have not seen the official result but Angus Garrard did brilliantly again and would have had to win. Pete McMullen had a good second night

I also found the scoring system on PP

17 12 9 7 6 .........

Good on him. And good on the club . Yes PP states is was a great success & if so would only get bigger if they did it all again next year.

Angus Garrard ended up with a massive 180pts

Found this on the Racing Queensland webpage - why isn't it on HRA's ?????

Edit:

You have to be on HRA's 'new' page to see The Drivers Championship featured
(it will take some searching on the 'old' page as it is not one of the 3 featured/rotating stories)
