yes, EI, I like harness racing since it appears to be more consistent formwise than the other codes of racing, and far more elegant.
There is nothing like watching one of these champions go to the lead and run away with the race.

however.... I also find it quite curious how consistently the strong favourite just gets beaten on the line :smile:

a few weeks ago a very good horse lost the start and ended up 30 metres behind the leader. He spent the race working his way back into contention only to momentarily break as he came off the back straight for the last time. He lost another 5 or so metres and then reset his stride and raced off after the leader, just missing by a whisker.
This horse had made up about 40 lost metres and still managed to get to the leader - but if he had started well I have no doubt he would have just won or just lost.
In a sense, they are playing with the public and keeping these races close - I dont mind, but I will stick to place betting as a precaution.

There must be a lot of punters out there who go mad watching a fantastic horse somehow come second in the last metre.

I dont mind following that Double Identity - now theres a horse who knows how to win !

give me the trots any day.

see ya
