@tommyhud9 Did it just over race ? Looked like he couldn’t hold it when leap came outside

Catseye Beach connections could have won $3466 by running 2nd. Strange stuff 😂 #Trots

@cgleeson7319 @mleppard11 It’s about the look for the sport is all. Recreational punters can’t be expected to consider team driving tactics
English
@TroyBoomerson @mleppard11 They were the top two picks in the market ffs look at the result and think about how you could pot either tactic. So it's not forget the end result dopey
English
Friendly hand ups at the bell in a Charlton Cup. Terrible look for the sport.
English
@cgleeson7319 @mleppard11 If he wanted to drive the horse with cover he had two options earlier from two horses in the market. Then hands up with a lap to go. That doesn’t seem strange with you ?? Take the result out of it. We are talking for the look of the sport.
English
@TroyBoomerson @mleppard11 Why? What was wrong with it? I don't get it. He handed up to the fav and blew its doors off and your sooking. Seriously what's wrong with you guys
English
@mleppard11 @cgleeson7319 Yep 100%
And to hand up with a lap to go makes it even worse.
English
@cgleeson7319 @TroyBoomerson The fact the lead wasn’t there for anyone except the horse that is owned by the same blokes. Thats what’s wrong.
English
@mleppard11 @cgleeson7319 Couldn’t agree more such a bad look watching that live..
English
@cgleeson7319 If Catalpa is happy to sit, why isn’t it sitting on Dee Roe given how much pressure was applied early? Bottom line - lead was there for one horse only. And therein lies the issue.

@darrenc59 @TheTrotsComAu @BirchipHarness @chrissymonal Great idea, keep it similar grade to the cup race itself. Think you have the race instead of the cup but can’t have both.. considering the restrictions on the eureka you could do similar (no trainer with more than X winners / prizemoney last 5 years)
English
@TheTrotsComAu @BirchipHarness @chrissymonal so much going for it already has @BirchipHarness but what an amazing addition it would be to get even greater interest and spotlight on this event. So keen on peoples thoughts on the concept. Should we try and get it off the ground?
English
No surprise that @BirchipHarness featured prominently in @chrissymonal's column this week, and he ponders how a new race could work at his favourite meeting of the year...

@AdamHSport @heldupbadly Turnover is down last two years from the Covid highs but on 2019 numbers it’s still higher. In terms of turnover market share it might be down because there is so much more sport for punters to watch
English
@heldupbadly My question is do we have any evidence it has helped turnover.
Coincidence or not, harness turnover has been in dramatic decline since we introduced it.
So, why assume it would decline further?
English
Well, this is something we should all note and monitor closely Down Under.
I’m yet to hear or see any evidence the sprint or passing lane is any way positive for the game.
This “trial” without it seems a smart play.
Gabe Prewitt@gabe_prewitt
After lengthy discussions with our horsemen & gamblers,we have decided to ‘Pass’ on the passing lane to open up the new season at Hoosier. Track crew completed the removal of the passing lane today. We agreed w/horsemen to do a 60 day trial, we can reassess if we are happy in May
English
@AdamHSport Melton 38.7% of leaders win (LB win 13.9%)
GP 52.1% of leaders win (LB win 5.4%)
AP 35.6% of leaders win (LB win 12.6%)
I think it gives more horses opportunity to win no doubt. So many factors contribute to turnover levels to get a true guide
English
Swayzee or Leap To Fame?
Actually…Don Hugo for me!
Gonna be some sort of race. 🐴
English
The Janitor not getting a start in the Chariots is a crying shame. The race needs a breeze horse.

English
What a race.
Final Miracle Mile field:
Leap
Swayzee
Don Hugo
Catch Wave
Tact McLeod
Capt Rav
Sooner Bettor
Max Delight
English
Connections of Bay Of Biscay WILL NOT accept an invite into next week’s Miracle Mile - now three spots for Menangle directors to determine in the next half an hour.
English
It’s almost certain whoever wins the Chariots Of Fire WON’T run in the Miracle Mile.
Confirmed so far:
Leap, Swayzee, Don Hugo, Tact McLeod, Catch A Wave.
Who gets the last three spots?
English
@R1CHARDFREEDMAN The greens are really starting to offend me with this take. It’s so disrespectful to thousands of hard working people. They should be cancelled
English
The naivety of the Greens to think they can rehome 10s/thousands of racehorses, yearlings, broodmares, foals and stallions after shuttering racing would be laughable, if it wasn't possible for them to hold balance of power post election.

@SEN_track @SENGiddyUp Same station that had a host calling people gutless for making comments just like this.
Pick one
English
“You’ve got to call it for what it is… he slaughtered that horse!
“No one has got the you-know-whats to say it.”
Wayne Hawkes had a bone to pick with James McDonald’s ride on Romantic Warrior in the Saudi Cup.

So fixed for TAB NSW harness win only @ 7.30am now?
Is that how we see it now?

@AtThePicnics @mleppard11 That’s an outrageous comment.. no way shape or form this would be the case.
English
@mleppard11 Hunter Cup could be 100k and they’d all be there. The prize money doesn’t really worry anyone other than the connections of the winner and the poor punters that have to pay for it.
English
Interesting that HRV has cut Hunter Cup prizemoney from $500k to $250k.
Great Southern Star only a small cut from $300k to $250k.
Shouldn’t Victoria’s biggest pacing race be worth more than the biggest trotting race? 🐴
English
The breeding industry needs a ‘Buyer Rating’. Cost vs Prize Money won. Who’s actually good at finding value at these sales? Will we ever know who has the sharpest eye? #MMSnippets #MagicMillions

@BrittanyTGraham Anyone know where I can see a replay please?
English
Captain Hammerhead - first past the post - has been disqualified in the Shepparton Cup.
Driver David Moran illegally contacted the back legs of that runner in the run to the finish.
New numbers - 2,1,6 and 5
Brittany Graham@BrittanyTGraham
Hold up on all clear in the Shepparton Gold Cup. More to come
