I saw a race from Ashburton while having lunch in the pub today - it looks like the sort of track that punters are entitled to = 1500m and all get a chance

We went to Ashburton when we went over for the NZ cup a few years ago . Yes everyone gets a chance on that track.Quote:

"The barrier draw “reveal” – for the TAB Trot and Race by betcha - will be shown live on Cambridge Harness Racing Club’s Facebook page at 5.30pm tomorrow (Tuesday)."
I think I am on the right page but I am getting zip - maybe it is only for NZers
But this is now up Cambridge Raceway page
and Don Hugo has the dream draw in The Race
And if they let him lead again , its over.Quote:

Can only hope the 1 holds up or something with brilliant gate speed can cross to make it a race.
Does Grant make it his job to beat DH?
1st is $450k, 2nd is $150k, 3rd $100k
For most people $150k is nothing to be sneezed at
So do you drive LTF to give him the best possible run (and guarantee $150k) and let the race/rest of the field worry about DH - after all there is no guarantee that DH will be totally on-song on the night either
Unlike the rest of the field, even if LTF is not on-song he still runs a place IMO
Of course the other way to look at is - if LTF puts DH to the sword, LTF will still run a place so the risk is worth the reward
Good thinking Kev , if he put the sword to DH , one can only hope or he might sit back & hope as you say others take care of the race. God knows. Like most it would be good if it was not boring like some races lately.
All the others will probley wait for LTF to put the sword to DH . If they all wait for each other , good night.
