Thinking more modern version. Hayden Haitana be main plot person for  "Gambling Man" 1st edition book series by Kevin Perkins. Tv series that be good one!

Gambling Man an awesome read.

As were The Midas Man and Against All Odds.

All good Karrots . That was a pretty even field , with 10 ex New-Zealanders racing in it !!!  the winner Triple Eight is part owned by the 'pacing priest' Father Brian Glasheen , so probably had some Devine Intervention lol.

that is the most logical explanation

would have given Highland Fling a fright

Is this a good thing for harness racing, or a bad thing? 

Even Stevie Wonder can see what is happening here. 

Soft lead after comfortably beating group and listed performer at the trials ?

Maybe they should go back and charge Fitzgerald.

Anything more come of that race and the participants behaviour or was that just gossip?

Was it hushed up?

My thoughts on who the Hole in the Wall Gang are possibly, a bank or a demolition company.

or a late night diner on Manchester St, Christchurch in the 70's and 80's

complimentary bread and butter, stewed coffee in arcoroc mugs while you waited on your mixed grill

those were the days my friends

Absolutely fabulous Filly/Mare

 But still a ban is a ban. Really shouldn't be able to purchase anything during that time of ban IMO.

 I think it's a greyish area.

As an unlicensed person under the rules of harness racing I am not prevented from buying a horse at the sales.

Ken Spicer?

Valid possibility as he stood by his side when he was in strife.

I can think of a couple of others that stuck by him.

He did a heck of a job with Noble Mistress.

Good idea but odds are out already. 

Could still be done. They have had fixed odds for breeders crown heats in the past.
