EI,

I quite like the trots - as you say you can often get some great value bets. It constantly amazes me how short some of the favourites start - $1.20 or $1.30 is not uncommon which given the nature of harness racing seems ridiculous to me. I remember one race a few months ago the favourite was $1.10 on the tote so I had a few dollars on one of the other runners at about 15-1. They had only gone about 200 metres when the favourite had a gear breakage and was out of the race - I was happy but I think I could almost hear the swearing coming from the local TAB! Unfortunately I still backed the wrong runner (came a close 2nd or 3rd from memory) - the winner paid about $30.00.
