Eureka 2024

By winning The Hayden, Free Thinker secured Racing Queensland’s slot in the world’s richest harness race at Menangle on September 7.
Does the slot holder profit if their slot wins?
If so, I thnk it would be annoying for Free Thinker's owner Kevin Seymour as he has his own slot which he would have used for Free Thinker (and would not have to share any prizemoney)

It seems crazy that Captain Hammerhead is still being asked to earn a slot after destroying The Lost Storm on Saturday night - The Storm is becalmed and should be scratched from the Eureka

Rod is not going to be happy

Funny, we drew 13 in the Breeders Crown years ago , I said to the CEO at the time, bugger we drew 13 , he's words were simple "your in the final". I never complained again about a barrier.

OH NO!!!!!
Poor Jess & Greg.
Hope FC pulls through.

Wisper A Secret picked for Taz.

I wonder whether a smart cookie knew a scratching was on the cards as I noticed yesterday when I posted the above market that Wisper despite being (supposed) EM2 had shortened from his opening quote

Hi Kev you could be excused for thinking that but no I expected it. There should be one stipulation with Eastern border horses entering WA major races: they will automatically draw the outside barrier. Sadly Harness Racing WA (or whatever they call themselves these days) wouldn't have the "intestinal fortitude".

Rod you commented on his wide barrier last start, even though it was a preferential barrier draw.
This race is also preferential. Also was a public draw too, with the available barriers randomly selected by hand by the connections. Can't be much fairer than that.
