Michael Walker having an interesting discussion on Trackside right now about draws, class of horse, etc and how difficult it can be for the jockeys, especially at The Valley.

Arguably the most difficult consultation document to find, ever, is this one. Can't find it on Love Racing, but this link came to me in a NZTBA newsletter earlier this year. View Venue Plan for Consultation Here (I'm hoping the link works, if not I will attempt to post the document in full.)

Are you kidding?

NO, purely anecdotal, but I’m sticking with my observation. Defies logic that the barrier has no effect.

Good barriers make a huge difference unless the horse is clearly superior to the opposition or very good luck goes it’s way. There’s not much in ability between the first 2 in the All Star Mile and the barriers had a huge influence. Williams probably couldn’t win it either way from the draw because Jenny ran very good horses off their legs.

Seems rather clear that any bet type not included in the “about to be introduced” betting software has been quietly discontinued so as not to be an embarrassment - the hype is all that the new software is a wonderful replacement for a current dog of a system.

“Even so, racing somehow needs to get back to having free-to-air TV coverage which is stuck on Sky out of sight of many. Getting publicity for racing these days is a tough gig with mainstream media virtually ignoring it and the only recourse for punters is to go online.” Well said. Drove to the Ipswich races yesterday listening to Radio TAB- didn’t that bring back some memories of the times in NZ when you could do that.

Starting early to avoid the heat! 1. Ellerslie R6 4,6 2. Ellerslie R7 9 3. Ellerslie R9 17,18 4. Flemington R4 1,4 BB 5. Flemington R5 1,12 BB 6. Flemington R6 1,5 7. Flemington R8 1,11 8.
