On paper our harness racing tipsters looked like they had a poor week but it is not as clear cut as that.
Methven was a disaster once it rained overnight with one placing from five selections and although we only managed three winners over the weekend, we did have eight seconds and a couple of thirds as well.
The "boss" was joined by Matt Williamson and Robbie Holmes in the winners circle.
This week we have four meetings but none in the deep south so our number of selectors is down a wee bit this week.
