That was impressive. I can’t recall the sire racing and we haven’t seen many of his progeny over here (or I haven’t noticed). I think there was one in the local sale though.
Hopefully PT gets a start in the Nullarbor.

The Storm Inside was one impressive horse who had to contend with injuries
Before breaking down in his last start, he had a record of 18 starts for 16 wins and 2 seconds
This included missing his 3yo season (other than one start) and breaks that included 8mths, 6mths and 13mths
CAW ok over 2100m last night, it was just part of his preparation but it was not a champion's run
I think he will need a leading draw
I have read a local saying that sitting 3 wide running those sectionals was one of the best runs ever at GP so we will see
The TAB (Vic) has Hot And Treacherous $2.80 favourite
He has no right to win this
He is a 6yo whose biggest payouts have been $37k for a 3rd in the Blacks A Fake (from 1.) and for an 8th in the '22 Grins
BUT will Jason Grimson do it again (and then we see the horse never win another race)
Although they're all good odds, the locals have all firmed while the raiders have all drifted
Catch A Wave - nothing wrong with his form :D
Sensational odds
But the best drive won it - congratulations Kate Gath
Just watched the replay.
Yes well done Andy & Kate, top training effort & great drive by Kate.
Just maybe Spirit should have let H&T go.........spirit was gone a long way from home.
And G Hall was smooth in pushing H&T out at the bell.....very smooth
LAVRA JOE ....... Unlucky.

The horse did all the bullocking in the race and only went down about 50 metres from the post Catch A Wave had a lot easier run.

Pinny Tiger ran a faster time in the Consolation
It was good to see an exciting race
Lavra Joe has drawn well but I am surprised that some are so short for the Marathon Fremantle Cup
Only Captain Treacherous and Catch A Wave as interstate raiders now but I think it is a good field and promises to be a very interesting race

Anyone know why Lavra Joe was a late scratching?
CAW does it again!
2936m not really his distance but driven perfectly by Kate
and I think 1.55.7 MR breaks the Tk Rec
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...24#GPM26042404
Signs of colic when he was being walked around. Breaks your heart. Draws well and then scratched :(Quote:

If the INQADJ doesn't produce any suspension(s) then they are a joke

The Stewards Report does not say when the inquiry has bee adjourned to, so we might be lucky to find the result (I don't read ALL stewards reports) - when you know when you generally find the inquiry to that day's meeting.
Once I had the Victorian stewards agree to tack such INQADJs to the original stewards report but I doubt that they still do that - it was pretty useful and a good system
GP has the biggest race of the weekend on Friday night with the running of the 2yo Diamond for $100k (and next week the Pearl for the boys)
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...24#GPM09082401
Tune in about 9pm AEST for the $100k Pearl tonight

Once again a Western Australian horse has been stitched up by those cretins on the East Coast. Never Ending Barrier 10. I will never accept that barrier draws are legitimate I think it is obvious now that when it comes to WA horses racing in the east they are penalized. :mad:
It was a preferential barrier draw.
I figure this has to be mostly about barriers although $1.38 to $51 seems amazing
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...24#GPM23082405
Never Endings run was super.
Jack drove the perfect race
Captain Ravishing delivered a fantastic performance in the Navy Cup, last night at GP proving to be the horse to beat in the upcoming Pacing Cup next week. I've heard that the connections may entrust the horse's care to Jemma Hayman and Ross Olivieri, although I'm not sure for how long. Perhaps they're considering the Nullarbor as a strategic move.
That said, I have to mention that the local contingent were unbelievable they roll out every Friday night, charging around the Gloucester Park circuit like asthmatic ants struggling under a heavy shopping load. But aside from that their enthusiasm is excellent, as noted by Captain Blackadder.
Overall, I'm feeling quite disillusioned with harness racing in Western Australia at the moment.
I don't know Rod - I will swap you for Victoria, at least you are racing for real prizemoney, have a city track and people prepared to breed this season
After last week's comment, I'm quite happy to eat humble pie. Outstanding win by Minstrel in the Pacing Cup 1:55 in the breeze very much in the style of the mighty Pure Steel.
It was a magnificent run Rod
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...24#GPM08112404
Excellent result. Great race.
I have just discovered today that Ch7plus streaming service has a WA Racing channel !!!
I wonder whether we could get TrotsVision on 7plus
Great racing at Pinjarra today. Nullabor Navajo nailing Steno on the line in 1:50:6 and Sangue Reale (can you believe it?) beating Minstrel and Magnificent Storm in the Mount Eden Sprint in 1:49:9.
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...s/?mc=PA170325
Thanks Rod - I am heading for the replays!
That was some Mount Eden sprint - they took 1.8 secs off the Tk Rec
(Well not really as Nullarbor Navajo had taken 1.1 secs off it the race before)
With an even spread of prizemoney, GP are racing for $260k tonight (10 races)
The least is for $21k the most is for $31k
Some states seem to be going well

Bunbury Cup Saturday night race 6 https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...s/?mc=BY290325
Mister Smartee and Magnificent Storm to clash all leading up to the Nullarbor.:o
Great run by Magnificent Storm. Just hope he stays sound.Quote:

That was a great result.

Well Swayzee & Catch A Wave drew well. NOT!!!
It is a long way to go to draw a crap barrier.
But someone had to draw them I guess.
Was it publicly drawn????
Trish, Swayzee's is potentially not bad at all - with no scratchings he would be the only runner on the second line
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...25#GPM25042501
TAB have Minstrel $2 fav
Jason is not worried about the draw for Swayzee.Quote:

Good luck to them . Hopefully it is a great race .
Minstrel is the horse to beat for sure.
