    St Arnaud is an excellent viewing track. I have stopped in before but this is my first race day here. A small track with a raised club room and stand, parking on the fence the entire span of the bottom bend and even a lookout in the back straight for another vantage point. A nice green footy ground inside the perimeter also adds to the aesthetics.

    If it wasn't for the lack of camber on the bends I could imagine a lot more meets here - I don't know whether the football club would agree to cambering the bottom bend but I can't see how doing the top bend would worry anyone

    New year's eve is no doubt a busy Sky day but near on 40 min between races is too long if you are not punting or with a party of people

    Lucky to strike such a cracker of a day but I would certainly recommend St A to everybody

    I attended Carrick speedway (near Launceston) yesterday..a twilight meeting. No camber on the bends there either and only has about 6 races a year, a good sized track. The racing was competitive although a 4 goal breeze was hanging around. The crowd was good, plenty of food, some music and a good atmosphere. A lot of small time punters as well. Free entry and you can also wander around and have a look in the horse stabling area. Had to smile at the back-up mobile gate which was attached to an old statesman in "reasonable" condition. A great day.

    Hi Kevin and Pat,


    I thought I would add to this positive thread with a comment on some of Victoria's small clubs that I've attended in the last 12 months. In particular, I had a great time at the Birchip and Wangarratta Cups which were both very well attended. These tracks and many others add so much to our sport, with a great family friendly atmosphere, BBQs, vanilla slices, kids attractions, and up-close racing action, etc., etc..


    Cheers, David

    Quadentate has the first of his progeny going around in R4 at Geelong tonight - Implode

    What do you mean you have never heard of sire Quadentate!

    He must have been a cheeky 2yo (before gelded) and sired 2

    He is by It Is I and is still going around in SA
    He won a Gp2 Southern Cross as a 3yo ($30k to winner)
    and an M0 at Melton so as a sire he may not have been shooting blanks

    I saw this in Twitter and wanted to check it myself. Soho Tribeca has been transferred to Bryan Cousins. Few people hinting that owner and Prentice are still on good terms and stewards will let us know what is up in due time but I'm very curious...

    A race the other day had Unexpected Visitor, Person of Interest, Mary of Denmark, My Girl Wylene, Flying Scotsman and Circus Runaway. I love name themes

    Good one Katie. I can see you forgetting Form and becoming a Names punter (in your old age)

    Are QLD claimers tougher than VIC claimers?
    Carson Millar's claiming of Mach Cruiser on Oct 27 is now looking inspired
    The 10yo won an M1-2 at Melton tonight to make it 6 wins, 1 second, 1 third and 1 fourth since the claim for over $32k in prizemoney
