Different Aspects to Programming

Something about $4,500 races especially a night meet at Melton does not sit right with me (are they making HRV any less than a $7k race)
People will tell me it is a way for small trainers to avoid hot competition and make a buck (while saving HRV money)
Sir Roman ran 3rd for the Gath stable in a $20k race at Geelong on Saturday night
Tomorrow night he goes around (from the pole again) in a $4,500 race
Then again he did the same 3 starts ago and did nothing so maybe the $20k race was the ridiculous one

Good to see Vic have 3 doubles day & night meets on Tu-Fri next week when the gallops have a little sleep

In the last race tonight we have a NR 48 and a NR 120 both off the front
(NR 45 before scratching)

If we are going to demean Melton with $4.5k races on a Friday night they should be the last two on the program not R4

They are to busy demeaning Melton with one lap dashes like the Mercury 80.

So true, I would be 100% in favour of redirecting the prizemoney for this series to increase the $4,500 races
IMO the Mercury 80 is not a harness race

Hi all

I am hoping this doesn't break the forum rules as it is advertising what we do. It relates to Harness Racing Victoria. Since 2015 when we commenced individual sectional data for Harness Racing our goal has been to have this data available for every race in Australia.
We are pleased to announce that as of 17 January 2022 we can offer individual sectionals for all Victorian race meetings and therefore every race meeting in Australia. We have always maintained the importance of sectional data as key information to compete with other racing industries.
We have been completing this work since 25 October 2021. These sectionals are not been completed for Harness Racing Victoria and are therefore only available through PJ Data. All other states sectionals that we complete are available on the states web-pages. They are available for private use. More information about our data can be found at http://pjdata.com.au/sectional-data/

On the same date, Victoria will also be added to the options for PJ Harness Analyser. This is an exciting enhancement to this product so all interstate runners can be compared in ratings. More information on the Analyser can be found at http://pjdata.com.au/about/

If HRV are going to persist with the Motor Boat races they need to update their information (I was surprised to see 8 off the front)

Look at the horses that went around in R1 at Kilmore tonight for $4,500
They have all bar one been going around in much better/higher stakes races - they drop back and probably think they will meet weaker opposition but they don't AND of course only One can win.
Truth is they have agreed to work for HALF wages

The winner was placed in $8k races at its last two starts
Havanna was in a $20k last week
Another was racing against Supreme Dominator and Platinum stride 4 starts ago
One of the scratchings was in a $20k Vicbred mares Semi v Maajida just 3 starts ago
Another was in $20k and $10k races last month
One ran 2nd in a $14k Silver Pace 3 starts ago
Another was in $9k races at its previous two starts

These horses, owners and trainers deserve better than $4,500 races where they are still just a one in ten chance of winning a mere $2,250

Only 6 races at YV today and I know it is mostly 35 mins between races but between R2 and R3 it is 42 mins - that is way too long unless they are giving me a free lunch
