I would be amazed if trots races hold anywhere near the pacing races
And yet our industry that relies on the punting dollar is tying half its future to trotters
I am not really a punter and have not had a bet yet tonight but it has confirmed my belief in not betting on trotters

A punter could easily have backed Paris Jamilla, Hide And Seek and Courmayeur in the first 3 races tonight and NOT got a run for their money
The powers that be must see this as a problem/bad look
And spare a thought for Stingofawasp connections who did not get a run through no fault of their own.
If Courmayeur gallops in the score up - we have a false start
Gallops at release point - tough luck for the horse trailing
Maybe we need to consider rethinking when a horse can be declared a non-runner
