Can anyone with more knowledge of harness racing tell me what the driver of the one-one horse was doing along the back straight for the lasttime in this trial? My horse is Highview Oban, that horse is Highview Aria.
Looked like he was trying to get his whip out
Looks to me like he was trying to adjust/move the "string/rope" that pulls the deafeners out, with his foot.
Maybe it got caught in the horses tail or the dust sheet or something and he had to unhook it before he could reach down as he did on the turn to grab it with his hand and pull it...????
He was using his left leg and pulled the deafeners with his left hand, whip in right hand...
Nice to see a winner for forum participant Norm Swartz " NormanS"

Good onya Norm, hope you are enjoying todays success!!
G'day Adam, the cynic in me says he was possibly pulling the first of a few strings and maybe they got a little entangled? looked like he had a few going...pull up blinds?,deafeners?,shorteners?, video replay button?, enthusiasm reminder?
It's much better in person, but I'll accept a winner from 2200km away. Hard work with that guy. Got my licence with his mother (Aussie Melody), his older brother ("Love this life" by Strong Life is also a Crowded House song and anything that's from NZ and good We Aussies claim as ours - That's how he got his name) was my first winner I trained and drove and he's the 1st winner I've bred "Love This Dragon" by Suttor Hanover (Dragons Again).
And Thanks Danno.
Well done Norman! Many congratulations
Congrats Norm and I hope there are plenty more to come.
Well done Norm on your win....excellent

Fingers crossed that maybe he can turn out like your "Palais Du Louvre"
