Required: Report Change In Driving Tactics

Published: November 3, 2010 12:05 pm ET

Harness Racing New South Wales has announced that, effective immediately, all trainers wishing to utilize a change in racing tactics with their horse in a race must 'apply' to the stewards at least 45 minutes before post time.

The announcement states that the change of tactics must first be approved by the stewards. If approved, the tactic changes will be available for handicappers online on the Harness Racing NSW website (hrnsw.com.au). They will be posted to the website shortly after approval and found in the 'integrity' section.

“Not everybody is in favour of making COTs public, but if it is going to be the practice then they should be readily available,” said HRNSW CEO Sam Nati.

“The race callers and media broadcasters will still be given the information to pass on, but this provides a broader approach,” he added.

The online availability of tactic changes is just one of a number of enhancements being made to the recently launched HRNSW website. Another is 'Open Inquiries,' which provides a list of inquiries which are still to be finalized by stewards and the date of the hearing.

This hinges on the reason I don't want to hear from the drivers if there was pre race interviews.   Handicapping the drive is the biggest angle I use, as does many other serious horseplayers.   If we start advertising the intent of the driver, or the trainers instructions to driver, then we take away what should be an angle.

That whole premise is ridiculous......15 different things can happen behind the gate to alter your strategy......That is the major difference between good and bad drivers.......being able to adjust on the fly

  This is quite possibly the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.     Never work.

I realize this is completely foreign to us in the Northern Hemisphere, but I suspect it is part of their integrity efforts.  How many times do we see a front runner racing in an elimination and instead of racing his typical style, the driver stays back and doesn't challenge the pace until it is too late?  The horse still qualifies for the final but the winning horse gets away with a win off cheap fractions.  Of course, the next week, the horse returns to his front end efforts.

My guess is with this type of policy, you don't see as many unexplained reversal of forms.
