I was reminded today that the best way to view this forum is to click on NEW POSTS which is on the 2nd toolbar at the top of the page. I had missed out on seeing a couple of posts I did not want to miss and using NEW POSTS would have made sure I...
With ongoing drug scandals in Australia it's important that everybody understands what can and can't be said on a public forum from a legal perspective. A public forum IS NOT the same as chatting to people at the track. Legally it's akin to...
Hunter Cup 1981 Just look at the horses . Yes there are heaps of races with fields like this . But they were the days by a long shot . 1 KOALA KING $51,500 FT B R GATH 2 GAMMALITE $15,000 FT W B CLARKE 3 FRIENDLY...
Did Barynya really win the Oaks last night or was it simply the horse that drew 8. I have little doubt that several of the field would have won that race if they had drawn 8. The sprint lane is a massive penalty that a leader has to carry...
I will cop some flack but I do not care . Who is the better horse ?? I am going to say Swayzee. Swayzee has done so much more than LTF . 2 NZ cups , enough said . Plus all else he has achieved , since Mr Grimson took control . He is...

He deserves his own thread. I am just catching up Drawn 14 he toys with them in a sensational Tk Rec on Boxing Day https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fields/race-fields/?mc=BH261224#BHC26122401
The 4th and Final Rankings https://www.interdominion.com.au/rankings/ These would have to be the weakest ever seen for both pacers (in particular) and trotters :eek: To give you an idea of how decimated the fields have been by scratchings...
I was researching first season sire Captain Ahab on Classic Families and his beautiful pedigree had only one sire that I had not heard of so I looked up what horses of note that Azoff (1908) had produced and found Peter Manning (1916). Who would...
https://harnesslink.com/australia/the-time-to-adopt-driver-colours-is-now/ I am 100% sure Mr & Mrs Stride would NOT agree with you Adam. And many others.
https://harnesslink.com/australia/global-driving-superstars-converge-on-brisbane/ Very smart move QLD.
Not being much of a punter nowadays, nor a form student like a lot of you guys, I may be way off the mark but hasn't the barrier draw further improved Mindarie's chances in the 3yoF final? She can lead and will not have either of Barynya or...

Hi All, I read recently in an artice by Grant Crane trainer of the great horse Manifold Bay that Grant learnt his trade from a trainer named Norm Sait. I went to school with a Norm and Peter Sait. Around that time Early/Mid fifities a Percy Sait...
ITS JUST AFTER 4PM & THE HEAT IS STILL UP THERE. This is one hell of a concern for the horses welfare. I'm damn sure I wouldn't want to run in that heat. The majority of people have their horses worked before 8 or 9 am . I did. My Dad did,...
He was a much loved champ https://harnesslink.com/australia/manifold-bay-farewell-to-a-champion-of-the-game/ A great read from Terry Grange
Hi all, would I be right i saying that I saw Metropolitan Harness history when Watts Up Partytime won 2 races at the same meeting at odds of over $50 on tote dividends. I am aware that horses have won twice at the same meeting but at those...
Catch A Wave has been scratched from Saturday's Melton Classic so you would think that there is no way he could compete in the Hunter first up Swayzee has now been entered for the race!
I really wish the heats were worth $50k to provide more incentive (and the final $190k?) You have to be careful backing anything in a $20k heat when cruising for the $250k final is the smart move. ...
Interesting to hear HRV CEO David Martin's comments on the radio earlier this week. Whilst he stated he's still getting his head around race programming, which is fair enough, he did say he was interested in looking into some programming based on a...
What are your feelings about the changes in the harness whip rules over the last year or so? Personally, I am quite happy with them now myself, but have the feeling from talking to some harness "people" that they think that reverting back to how...
This should really go in the thoroughbred forum but I wanted to give it greater exposure https://www.racing.com/news/2025-01-20/news-contenders-brave-win-for-death-defying-horse How special are horses
