Well Said Mitch!!!
I remember, as a kid growing up in this industry, waiting all year for the inters. Saturday, tuesday and Saturday, doing the points while listening on the radio or watching it on the ABC, i think. You just dont get that interest now, with the current format. It is still a great race to watch, but it is not the inters as i remember them. There really was nothing wrong with the old format. I think it was just hijacked by some people who were of the belief it was dying in its former format. Was not the case. As for where it is held. I dont have a problem with it at Menangle, it is the best venue to showcase this wonderful code and animal.
Stick a fork in NZ. What is it, 8 horses in 2 years ?
I made two trips to WA from Sydney a few years ago for their ID, loved it.
I've been to Gloucester Park quite a few times since, when I'm in WA for business and even on "ordinary" Friday nights there's a buzz there that you don't get anywhere else in Australia.
Firstly there's a crowd and secondly they're knowledgeable. Perhaps it's because thoroughbred racing isn't as dominant in WA as NSW and VIC ?
A mix of WA and NSW, returning to the original format.
just saw WA's offer to run the next set of Inters in WA after NSW and its gunna be tough to beat.Im talkin big big prize money!!!!!!Not sayin till its official!! and good luck if you know more!!
Apparently The Interdom is heading back to Western Australia, More to come folks.
They are talking of making it the richest race in the world and reverting to the old format of three heats and a final. That would mean a race for $1,000,000+. Bring it on I say
GP must be an amazing track or have something special.. It may be the palm trees..
