    I am into my 'forgetful' 60's - should I have known/remembered that last year's Terang Cup winner Messini is deceased?

    Ararat Cup night on Friday
    I wonder why the pacers cup isn't over 2570m - maybe as a point of difference from other cups?
    With only 2 on the 2nd line they should all still have their chance

    Kev being a smart arse here
    Vic Rule changes

    http://www.harness.org.au/media-room...?news_id=39645

    It includes:

    When placing an exotic bet (quinella, trifecta, first 4 etc.) a horse not trained by the trainer cannot be selected to finish ahead of a horse trained by them

    Order does not matter in Quinellas fellas

    It would seem to mean no more box trifectas / first 4's for trainers

    The time between races at Hamilton today is far too long especially in the 2nd half of the program - there will want to be plenty of entertainment on track
    We have up to 42 minutes between races
    If all races had only 30 minutes between them the 9 race program would be over 52 minutes earlier - closer to 4hrs than 5

    I know you are going to tell me that it is all about getting Sky1 time
    I doubt I will go now. If the temp is over 30° at 11am it will be a no-no

    Race times are dictated by Sky - regardless of whether Sky1 or Sky2

    To me, Sky having so much power is fundamentally wrong
    It seems like they are Coles or Safeway - telling the producer 'if/when/how much'

    I am not sure how the points were awarded for the Drivers Challenge but it must have been close between Gary Hall Jnr and Chris Alford
