Slowly but surely the gallops are swallowing up harness racing with night meetings now becoming a regular event
taking away turnover and we all know without turnover its game over.
The current investigation will play a huge part in deciding the future
because if its 5-10 or 15 people involved then when they are found guilty if they are a trainer or driver once sentenced they should
never be allowed back into the sport.if they let them back punters will vote with their cash and invest even less.so here is a golden chance for harness to be stronger than the gallops by banning them for life.
Changes must be made to how they make racing better and not have so many races with $1.20 jobs going around
standing starts must go
team driving(in lower class races) MUST be dealt with harshly its a punters nightmare to see he is on the horse protecting another stable runner. any trainer/driver renewing their licence should be warned investing
any amount on a race will result in a minimum banning of 5 yrs to life .
This is harness racings last chance
so the current CEO and board have to change rules on what can and cant be tolerated by a licenced person.while the rorting was going on for so long under their watch most people in the sport knew something was amiss but they took 2 years to get to the bottom of it if they ever will.
