  • Just instances of unprofessionalism from certain participants towards other participants, I mean I regarded such instances as grubbier than drivers choices of attire at a race meeting but just my opinion
  • Not a great look, just like the behaviour of some participants on course, very very unprofessional
  • Yea the 7pm finishes in this weather were finally starting to get to me
  • Yes it is true that it is misleading  but how many 100/1 chances win on a 10 race programme..and I agree the average s.p of the favs would be better in my opinion not too many that's for sure, but usually there 100/1 for a reason and most wouldn't…
  • as pointed out by chariots the average starting price of winners can be misleadingeg 9 favs winning at $1.20 and a roughie winning at $100 gives an average of $11.08 the sweet spot refers to the preferred starting price range of favorites which RWWA…
  • 13 race meetings now run, 102 races, average winning starting price still holding way above the direct comparison fro 2024 at $6.11. 18 of the 102 races won by concession/junior drivers, opportunities escalating, 4 of the 9 runners in the featured $…
  • Sorry was meant to say it's a bad look , 3am starts are starting to get to me
  • Interesting facts, the 2.28 handicap model worked you win you take a handicap no dropbacks pretty simple, MCR failed, HWOE failed so now we have NR so from day one some industry participants aren't happy eg GP owners association, GP and people who w…
  • Getting Inbox and private emails telling me I am doing it all wrong, I should be doing this, I should be quoting the average starting price of the favourite, I should be eliminating outriders both short and long priced, I should be showing a graph w…
  • Just over people bagging small country clubs and firing shots whenever they can. Lets just race at GP and Pinjarra hey. And reduce the Footprint a little bit more hey Well firstly I was just agreeing with Warren it's not a bad look when tracks are a…
  • Been a few instances of that lately, can think back to a couple of the collie meetings looking like a sandstorm really isn't a great look :-@ :-@ (:| hahahha here we go just another keyboard warrior flog , don't get narky just because someone'…
  • Okay Einstein, I am open to suggestions as to how to present more than 3 weeks of data when it has only been in operation for 3 weeks? Jeepers, I am starting to think John Cleese was absolutely spot on. you don't present it ?? You wait for reasona…

  • What turned Queensland harness around when they charged  three of top six drivers,approx. 2017, when Bart Cockburn got life, and said everyone's doing it. they were ducking & diving. Same time frame Dixons wife got 12 months. ___ . Integrity. wa…
  • Mean Average??? I am not quite sure what you mean by Mean Average. Mean and average are arithmetically the same thing. Total up your data and divide by the number of data points. Median figure, on the other hand,  is the other often referred to figu…

  • QLD. must be going okay as a leading Harness Trainer is moving there.. Think he was born there .. qld is going good and the business model they have used to turn the industry around over there can't be ignored
  • Also I'm an 80s child seems like your facts and figures were off there
  • I find it very comical when people refer to the 70s-80s and they weren't even born :)) what I find comical is people who base there ideas and views on what happened in those time periods , and yet here we are living in 2025 wondering why the indus…

  • Getting back to Harness 2025 Betting Data under NR, another 16 races into the data base bringing it up to 95 races. A few "shorties" last night but most were still "backable" in the "sweetspot window" as enunciated many times by RWWA, Storyteller …

  • I remember SA , cut back on prize money a few years ago,but seems to have turned the corner, now Victoria has donethis twice in 2024. Are they the states like Crown or like WA /QLD doing the Star casino as we cant even run the $9k racesat a profit o…
  • I remember Darren Binskin driving his first winner at Rockhampton in the late 70s .. I think it was Eva Thor , Paleface Adios was in the race also. .I dont remember them racing there since the 2000s.. I can remember Darren Binskin many many years a…

  • All codes are running at a loss, all are "subsidised" by all other forms of sports betting etc. It is the degree of subsidisation that is the point and harness is clearly the most heavily subsidised. But the comparative losses for Busselton compared…
  • And where does the hugely overwhelming majority of the 46 million shortfall emanate from? It ain't Busselton, and it ain't Narrogin or Wagin. well I think you'd bunch that into 'country' racing which is indeed running at a loss the whole industry …
