It is the first Vic 2yo race of the season at Maryborough on Wednesday
The first two Ride High's go around - a good showing could not hurt his prices at the remaining yearling sales

NSW has its third 2yo race of the season today (Newcastle and Riverina have had one) with some excellent breeding on show
https://www.harness.org.au/form.cfm?...rc=PCC11022513
Soho Trump is all the rage in the betting but A Buck Ten is certainly bred in the purple
San Sebastion is certainly worth a look also.
Oh most definitely Phil
It is going to be interesting to see if Art Major and Bettors Delight can finally produce a REAL successor
At this stage I would much rather gamble (not so much a gamble going on stats) on yet another Somebeachsomewhere line successor
Bronte Nieuwenburg has done a comprehensive write up of the Maryborough 2yo
https://www.thetrots.com.au/news/art...t-maryborough/
If we select according to sire - we would have to go Heavenly Nicky as Rock N Roll Heaven is easily the best performed sire
If we select according to broodmare - we would go Maxo Mighty as Princess Dilinger has been an outstanding producer
Menangle today was a case of the money being right, Soho Trump wins but only just, A Buck Ten went enormous. San Sebastion was reasonable. The rest will need to improve, and you can pretty well expect them to.
Babies running 1:54.5 on debut is something I never thought would be seen in Australia!
Today's Maryborough 2yo has only 6 horses. 2 are scratched so 4 runners. Sums up the industry atm.
Only 6 in the last at Bendigo on Wednesday night but No.'s 1 & 6 are bred in the purple

WA's feature 2year old races have already started. Announcement to bring them forward was made in December, too late for trainers to even get their horses ready in time if they weren't already in work.
Good to hear from you Katie
Yes, I saw that the Western Crown winners are at the top of the HRA 2yo winners
Another 2yo race at Kilmore tonight

Catching up with some WA apg heats

Two $125k APG finals at GP tonight
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...s/?mc=GP280225
Ideal Beach was much too good for my Fear The Storm (4th) in the colts
Ma Petite Dame much too good in the fillies but I cannot say I am a fan of driver Kyle Symington's unnecessary and excessive attempts at headbutting the one behind him
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...s/?mc=GP280225
Tonight we have the first of our 2yo Trots for the season at Bendigo
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...25#BNC05032509
If it wasn't for a scratching, Sundons Courage would have had 4 of his crop of 12 going around
8 starters but only 3 trainers represented with Brad and Chris Angove having 3 each and Mark Hayes 2
We have three first season sires represented in
Helpisontheway
Six Pack
and Muscle M Up
and 12yo Sundons Courage is in the Geelong Cup on Friday - I wonder why he is still going around
This includes 3yo racing too but I am going to copy and paste it here so that I remember where to find all the Vic Autumn juvenile racing

*Subject to change. A minimum field size of seven starters is required for races to proceed
We have Bathurst on Wednesday night
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...s/?mc=BH190325
7 heats of the fillies for the Tiara is amazing
Wouldn't you love to get $151 about your 2yo in her first start and then have her win (on protest)
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...25#BHM19032501
Tonight at Bathurst we had 7 odds on favourites ranging from $1.04 to $1.55
You have to wonder how it was determined that they were such certainties as in Total the 7 horses had only had 11 starts before tonight
How punting has changed in my time - taking $1.04 about a 2yo at its first start LOL

Some huge margins in the races , especially from 3rd onwards .

She is bred to be very good.
I backed her .
Good luck in the final , you received a great draw .
The Tiara Final for the 29th
A 5 horse $50k race tonight - WA will be as broke as Vic if they keep this upQuote:

The first of the odds on pops ($1.12) beaten in the first of the Gold Crown just run

7 long odds-on favourites again tonight - 4 won
Some very small Nutrien Sale heats for the 2yo's (and 3yo's) at Melton today
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...s/?mc=MX040425
PP has a story on these heats.
I have to agree with what he says.
What is the point of going to the yearling sales?
What is the point of training?
What is the point of racing?
There is no future in a monopoly.
Just like I borrow some of PP's stories, he borrows some of mine ;)
Although he was probably going to write this one too
I kept mine very brief and decided to put it in the Roadshow thread for like PP I think it is one of the issues that need addressing.

Sure is.
What a huge ask for Nocturnal to come to Melton 6 days after his first start at Menangle last night
While the Vics do not have to travel and have 7 days recovery

Then I remembered Emma Stewart won all the heats in vic.
Nocturnal has drawn 2 so that is good
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...s/?mc=MX110425
It was Nutrien Finals for both the 2yo's and 3yo's but I will put it here
and 4 different stables win !
We are so used to seeing the Stewart stable dominate.
Admittedly they were unlucky not to win two as Cardigan Dan went terrific after a drive from Cam Hart which I think he would like to have again - mind you it was hard to make sense of David Moran's drive which stitched Cam up
https://www.harness.org.au/racing/fi...s/?mc=MX110425
Great to see 4 other trainers win . Good on them all .
