what a drive!, i was there and backed thorate, got 16/1!

[@steveb8546]

Arguably the best drive in the history of the race - wide, back to last, 4 fence and doesn't go round a horse til the final corner

[@danarmstrong1663]

Had my mother back thorate for me as I was too young lol

[@alphillips8028]

So much for Whitby Timer

[@bgardiner3354]

The two Chambers horses locked wheels in this race. He wasn't from the very top shelf Whitby Timer but I'd have one as good as he was any day.

4 back on the fence Not these days Have not seen one for a long while West oz horse won from impossible pozy Few years ago Apart from that It's been mechanical Boring so to speak Harness racing ,was more lovable to watch Not these days Sorry!

[@kenwiese4828]

Yep was a huge harness racing fan up untill 2015. Boring asbatshitnow

[@marknorris1381]

Have to agree. The last two inter finals have been boring. The last really good final that I recall and one of the best full stop since I started watching in 1980 in my opinion was the 2016 final, of course that being run on the small track at Gloucester Park. Nowadays the mid race moves don't happen, they all sit and wait for the sprint lane.

Anything with " Whitby " in its name was always junk. They'd gallop at odds on, or be over-rated in commentary, and so on. Was always the case.
