The original President of the Marburg Pacing Association Brendan Sheehy and I met Dr Edwards in order to ascertain why no consensus could be achieved between the codes.

AS we waltz into a fine autumn weekend, we can think about spending Sunday afternoon at the Marburg trots.
Itâs the best with the âharness spectacleâ much enhanced on the 700 metre showground circuit where you can identify your fancy going down the back straight with the naked eye.
Gates open at 11am, with trials before the first race, which goes at 12.51 pm.
Eight races are programmed with a TAB facility, bookmaker, âfunny moneyâ bookmaker, mini-trotters, âpat a ponyâ, best country burgers, cheap alcoholic beverages, home made desserts and âpick the last seven winnersâ with $2,000 on a share basis if multiple winners.
Denis Smith THE merry month of May is upon us, the last month of autumn, and for the Marburg folk, one of the busiest. Three meetings are planned to enjoy. The Marburg Pacing Association starts the trifecta with Labour Day on Monday, presenting a solid eight race card. Racing starts at 12.27pm. All the regular features will be on the go including exciting country harness, country style burgers and other tasty items, home made desserts, amazing prices on beverage and other cold drinks. There s the funny money bookmaker for all those who love a punt but can t really afford to lose.
Denis Smith WE must practise the distant early warning technique to raise awareness of coming events. Now that the COVID threat seems to be shrinking to manageable proportions we should turn our thoughts to the traditional show season and the need to present trotting/harness racing in one form or another - actual racing or exhibitions - at these traditional, annual fairs. In the not too distant past, trotting was the excitement factor at these gatherings, which were very heavily supported by exhibits of local farm produce and high class farm animals, all of which were presented with the same level of showroom shine as a new car.
