I reckon we cannot have too much Harness news and being a keen follower of Vic harness (and an overly opinionated *@!%) I will post anything that I think may be of some interest to someone out there in Cyber Harness World.
Let's get rid of this Vic bias that I am causing.
We have keen forum posters from every state in Australia on our board and great posts coming from them but we need more. Go for it guys - tell us what is happening!
MORE!
Not a peep out of your NSWelshmen after that terrific juvenile card yesterday - are you trying to keep us Vics in the dark!

Greetings Kev, It was looking like the Waikiki Beach show there for a while but now we are really starting to see some other nice young horses emerge, Our Golden Goddess went terrific yesterday and congrats to Mr Trevor Swan on breeding another very nice horse, Yes some real good runs by the young ones at Menangle yesterday but I was very interested to see a particular race at Shepparton last night, Also a 2yr old affair, Paul's Rock N Roll Heaven Anything for Love put in a real good effort for a green young horse and I think he will improve out of site on that run but Andy Gath's Battle Born spoilt the party by sprouting wings in the last 200 metres to get the chocolates at big odds.
I have been away a couple of days and what do I discover when I get back on the board?
Proof that this is your typical New South Welshman

Four Gp2's at Menangle!
A Gp1, two Gp3's and a Gp2 at Albion Park!
AND NOT A PEEP FROM ANYONE
Can someone from NSW at least tell me what is meant by Breeders Challenge Blue?
different name for n.s.w.sires stakes
Thanks Greg

That would be right - now we get posts from the northern barbarians
Breeders Challenge Blue series is restricted to progeny from a sire and a dam that were BOTH located in NSW at the time of breeding, as opposed to the basic Breeders Challenge series which only requires one parent to be NSW based.
isn't that what N.S.W.sires stakes was
NSW Sires Stakes used to be solely for progeny of NSW based sires.Quote:

Im not a New South Welshman but I will trackside at Menangle for the first time ever this weekend heading up from south of the border. Super night of racing, some absolute pearlers n the card which should mean value for top quality horses. Can't wait.
Make sure you get back to us Stephen - it would be good to read your impressions of Menangle and the racing
The best of luck Stephen. Kev, dare I say if things go to plan Stephen mightn't be in any state to post...well not for a week or two. :cool:
Haha, thanks Wayne. Great to have a horse good enough to get into a race on such a night. Ill definitely post some pics etc when I get around to it. From all reports a much better experience then Melton but time will tell.
A 'thoughtful' clue to Stephen's horse
Love it.. Happy to talk about the fella. Never thought he'd be good enough to make the Chariots but he's proved us wrong every step of the way. Another step up come Saturday night & the draw is no help but he hasn't bottomed out yet, who knows how good he is!Quote:

For those that don't know, Pogga puts heaps into the game promoting it off his own bat and at his own expense. If successful Saturday night am sure he will buy us all a beer if (and when) he ventures back to Royal Melton.
Good luck Pogga!! #GoTheMouse
Looking for New South Welshmen to promote their meeting - isn't that moderator bloke Prior one of them!
Congratulations on owning a sub 1.50 pacer StephenQuote:

As for Menangle, wow. We were looked after well as a group of owners but there was no one there. Such a shame for a great meeting like that. Probably because it's in the middle of no where! No shuttle bus after the meeting, the train didn't stop at the station & taxi's were a 2hour wait after the last race because they hate going out there.
The difference between it & Melton's Hunter Cup night was night and day. Disappointing. I hear they will be running shuttle buses for Miracle Mile day and hopefully that'll get more punters to the track.
