How are we going to get West Aussies to come if we always give them the visitors draw

You are right Kev as everyone knows I've been on about these rigged barrier draws for years particularly when it comes to WA horses it proves to be more than a coincidence time and time again.
I'd advise all WA trainers to bypass Victoria Harness Racing in future.
I'm surprised To Fast To Serious is lining up the horse is not good enough for an away ID series.

Rod, the trainer said it is as much about experience for him and the horse, as anything else

We could have a problem if another front line horse is scratched from R6
I am thinking that the emergencies start from 13,14,15 not the position of the scratched horse
With 2 out of R6 already we now have 7 off the second line - it cannot/is not supposed to take 8, so if there was another front line scratching!?

Conditions on TheTrots website I believe. From memory read this other day and emergencies take barrier of scratched horse. On phone at the moment so cant check.

correct - the emergency takes the barrier of the scratched horse

but Mona Mia is ODM so she wont
so which barrier does Jilliby Nitro get - 1 or 3?
a million to one but what if all 3 emergencies were ODM and we had 3 front row scratchings
(make a new ruling I guess)

I Should have gone to HRA's Stewards News first or read Vic's scratching report on Tango

As a consequence of the scratching of Tango Tara NZ, in accordance with the following condition of the Inter Dominion Pacing Championship:

22 (b) Emergencies that are declared in the First Round of Qualifying Heats (only) will be allocated the outside barrier positions. Any emergency gaining a start will take the barrier position of the first scratched horse but retain its allocated saddlecloth number, unless the emergency is declared by the Stewards ODM, RODM, EOD.

The second (2nd) emergency Jilliby Nitro has gained a start and is to wear saddlecloth number 14 and commence from barrier one (1) in Race 6 at Ballarat on Saturday, 26 November 2022.
