  1. Warrnambool Carnival

    Darren Weir trained 14 winners - All the other trainers 16 winners Mind boggling just to have runners in 26 of the 30 races (often multiple runners)

  4. Stawell Races Today

  9. How is it so?

  10. No Gallops racing in Vic next week

    Monday to Friday next week. It seems a strange one as horses will still need feeding and working and it is now just as likely to be in lockdown https://www.racing.com/calendar#/month-view

    In their preview of sport before an ad break they said they would be coming back with some controversial racing news (much to our surprise as that is not typical Win) BUT then Amy Duggan's sport report contained nothing about racing - obviously the...

  13. Gallops Odds and Ends (worth a post but not worth a thread)

    I tuned into the Geelong Cup today I must be a purist/traditionalist for when I saw Bet 365 engraved on the Cup, I was horrified No doubt I would be happy to accept it as a winning owner however :p
