Uncle Wingnut has bit me on the bum a few times in exotic's Kev ever since I mentioned that I thought his name was silly, Maybe a silly name but plenty of ability and another good run today.

That is a great achievement and a great question Grant - historians start researching
(He had better watch out - I do not plan to start training until I am 83)
Grant,
Good on him, how long has he been training for?
Obviously he is a very active person and great to see, hopefully we can read more about his story in Trottguide and on the links.
As for being a record, it is in my book.
All the best and hope he gets a stack more before he gives it away.

I must confess that he has worked horses all his life but only took his liscence out about twelve months ago. Does drive all his own track work though. If it's not a record I guarantee he could hold the record for the crankiest trainer.....
Would have to be close. Not the oldest to have trained a winner but maybe the oldest to land his first anyway!
I'm going to be sent to the naughty corner but so be it. I tried to let it go and was relying on somebody else bringing it up but that hasn't happened. I'm 'POSITIVE' that after breaking out of the gate and losing 6 lengths, one shouldn't then be pressuring the leader (after also making a pretty quick run around the field) into a 56.7 sec first half effectively leaving your charge totally spent at the 700m mark. POSITIVE!
Yarra Glen must be a pretty fast track nowadays
They had three 1650m races before the rain, all won with times in the 1.56's
Then after the track was rated Rain Affected they had another three 1650m races, all won with times in the 1.57's
I see the Pacing Priest Father Brian Glasheen had a winner last night at Echuca, Russell Jack trains the winner but strangely, His son Nathan wasn't the driver and finished last on another horse.
Rich, I think it was just that Nathan was not eligible for a claim like PittQuote:

So what you do is go to the meeting calendar area on harness.org.au. Use Maryborough today as an example. If you just go into meeting calendar and click on Maryborough it will take you to the fields. So instead, do a program search (just search C0 or C1 because most meets have these) and it will come up with at least one race. Click on the link and it will open up the original race conditions.
