A lot of people are quick to criticise harness racing drivers but fail to realise the countless hours and effort they put in working and traveling to and from race meetings. RIP Nic dewar, condolences to his family and friends.

@David_Bricky @RaceQLD Surely the time has come that we get a proper ambulance on track. Paramedics couldn’t of been in any less of a hurry to attend someone laying motionless face first in the middle of the track

@benkrahe @joshblackmarket @PLedjen @dobbopd @arbit_jeroen If there is a horses nose in line with any part of a horse that’s galloping over the line then the galloper is relegated to behind that runner. Not ideal in this circumstance but at least it’s across the board and consistent not trying to decide if an advantage was gained

Interesting figures in RQ annual report in light of alleged concerns on greyhounds in 4Corners story. Overall betting on Qld up with greyhounds up 17.1 percent, harness up 8.8 and gallops 1.7. Bring back EF in a big hurry.

@benkrahe I do my form day before the race, so that’s before I’m aware of any change of tactics and it’s never normally too far wrong. Just have to use some common sense and understand that race circumstances can change in an Instant. It’s a great change I think.
