  • Further- what you are suggesting is a horse can win at L4, wait 5 races, win at L4, wait 5 races, win at L4 ad infinatum. Great work, genius.
  • I will give my opinion. Get rid of the HWOE system, along with its $L5, and go to the NR system.
  • Who would know what the state of play is with the new mobile? Silence from management has provided fertile ground for all sorts of stories to be circulating. You are running a business okay, you spend a reportably large some of money on some new pl…
  • On the flip side, a postponement gives the club the opportunity to have a crowd, get exposure in the community, and get some much needed income. A $30k race at GP happens every other week and does nothing to bolster the profile of GP. A 3 week delay…
  • The Northam track is not below standard. It just rained for 4 hours straight. The horses were fine, it was the mobile that was having issues. Have a look at the vision of race 3. As for holding the Northam cup at GP, no. Why should the club be penal…
  • Northam Cup night is Saturday. How can a club prepare for their biggest meeting of the year when there is no certainty on whether there will be racing, whether there will be patrons etc? It must be frustrating for the club manager, and the commitee. 
  • You say sort them on HWOE/L then current form what about in the following scenario how would you draw them other than RBD to make a race that benefits the industry  10 horses in a race Horse A 10 wins in 100 starts current form last 5 09876 L9Horse…
  • no matter,what race and where you win, on $L3, you are doubly handicapped.Aussiebattler if RWWA programmed races correctly and alternately on L class, say if you had a L9 horse, a L7/L9 one week and then L9/l11 the next week ,then you at least you w…
  • They already tried reducing the number of country meetings earlier this month. For 3 weeks there were no meetings at Bunbury, Northam or Narrogin. Then when they kicked back up they scheduled Northam and Narrogin on consecutive nights.
  • I have been thinking about how changes to handicapping systems hasn't been replicated with race meetings. In the MCR system meetings were largely aligned with the relevant class. Kellerberrin, Busselton, Wagin, and the smaller clubs had their fields…
  • When did the Dainty's Daughter 3yo fillies classic first run? Is there a list of previous winners and the dates the races were held anywhere? Looking through results from the 90s is proving tiresome http://www.harness.org.au/hra/feature/rc_3yop.pdf
  • winner of 8 gets bar 2 via pref draw on NR - the connections of six of the seven maidens that drew outside him were no doubt ecstaticNational ratings or national rafflesee attachment As different to the L1/3 on Friday at Northam where the maidens…
  • You really have to appreciate the farcical nature of some things RWWA schedules. NOMINATIONS FOR NORTHAM - NM290121TFRIDAY, 29 JANUARY 2021KEY TIMES All times are displayed using the Australian Western Standard Time timezone.Nominations29 January 20…
  • What chance have you got? The maiden at Northam on Friday night fell over due to lack of noms. The only alternative offered is a mixed L1/3 RBD. When you have a horse that relies on a draw to be competitive in its class, why would anyone in their ri…
  • curmudgeon - when the WA system was introduced there was provision for horses to drop back a couple of levels in HWOE LT$12k and HWOE LT $25k races eg HWOE LT $12,000  also eligible HWOE LT $25,000 with less than approx $2,000 in their last five sta…
  • Anyone know how Albany Cup winner Thomson Bay has such a high HWOE given so few starts/ Must be a story or explanation? He was in last night as a L4 with a HWOE of just under $8k. Add the $12k he won last night and his HWOE jumps to just shy of $20…
  • Ragazzo Mach is owned by one of the richest cray fishermen in Southland. Apparently the crew wanting to buy Regazzo Mach were dickering amongst themselves regarding the value of the horse.  As I got told Wednesday, his run at Winton would have added…
  • There have been many on here calling for PBDs since HWOE came into place and I am surprised that their views are not being expressed now that they are being removed. I have always been of the belief that PBDs are essential to provide even fields and…
  • I think Disco Force's biggest problem was they left him a bull too long. I remember one night at GP he was trying to mount one of the Lombo mares in the parade ring, when the mare was in her sulky. He was a 3yo at the time, from memory.
  • You wouldn't want to be trying to place a maiden in a race next week. You could take a 10 hour round trip to Albany, and if your form was better than 666 you'd have drawn barrier 5 at best. Aside from that there is a L1/3 at Pinjarra, with the same …
  • The other concern with Balcatherine was her 6th in the Norms Daughter behind Wainui Creek and Our Alfie Romeo. Hardly conducive to a WA Pacing Cup start. I'd like to know your thoughts on how Covert Denario gets a start then. 8th in the Fremantle Cu…
  • So you are completely ignoring the fact that mares have not been competitive in our premier race for the past 48 years. Sorry? Last year Our Alfie Romeo beat home half the field, beaten 5.9;metres. The year before Maczaffair ran third, beaten 2.7/me…
  • For the same reason that To Fast To Serious would not have been considered for the Fremantle Cup. Until last week he had not ventured into fast class, the criteria for feature race selection. Balcatherine won a race restricted to mares and the last …
  • How did Balcatherine get left out of the field, a week after winning a group one?
  • The delay at Narrogin is because one of the stewards has collapsed. No idea how long the delay will be.
  • it was also said at the outreach meeting that RWWA is planning to upgrade the lights at GP, Bunbury and Northam to LED lighting. That wont be budgeted for for two, three or four odd years. I cant recall the exact timeline. Harness needs money being …
  • At the last outreach session, it was said RWWA is hoping to spend shed loads of money upgrading GP. Whether that comes to pass, dunno. They were talking serious money, though.
