OPINION:
@JasonBonnington
says harness racing officials have for too long tried to turn the code into something it’s not, rather than embracing and promoting the unique selling propositions the sport offers.
Do you agree/disagree?

Most know him as simply

or - possibly - The Baby Goose (courtesy of his staggering resemblance to Ryan Gosling) but if things go right in the next at Melton he will henceforth be known as 'The Quaddie King'. So huge are his approximates for 6,7 & 8 it's frightening!!

Discussion what it’s all about. 💬
First Q: Was it really a track bias? Or just the way the races were run?
One for the punters. There was an obvious track / pegs bias at Melton Sat night. Every race won by leader or leaders back. Does this kind of bias turn you off betting at this track???
