Ch2 ODDS AND ENDS - not big enough for a thread of their own

PP talking some total crap this morning about last night's Ballarat meet

Spot on Kev.

Whilst I'm not fan of the protestor, PP calls her a two bit hooker. For a guy who pedals respect for women like this article https://peterprofit.com/happy-intern...-of-the-sport/ it goes to show he has no credibility. Respect for woman when it gains him credit but seemingly went out the window when he forgot to put on a show.

But Brendan you have to love how he writes ups the 'Dead Horse on Course then Buried in an Asbestos Pit' story for Glenn Douglas and Eric Anderson to commemorate Bernie Winkle breaking the most wins at a track record
Sorry but like he said - they should have got life

You don't get better than that Kev.

I notice that Bernie Winkle's claiming price has come down to $50k, I know that nobody is likely to claim the 9yo but it shows there is no room for sentiment in the Eric Anderson/Douglas barn

Warragul is a bugger of a location for attracting trainers to their meetings
Hopefully they (with the help of Cranbourne) can become Mildura like in being self sufficient
In the meantime trainers like Andy Gath and the Burnett/Mifsud clan that support them should be commended for being prepared to travel

A strange write up for next Tuesday's George $25k Croxford at Echuca
Forgot to mention the odds on favourite Petillante
Mind you, 6 is a horror draw at Echuca

I know some people like the Rewind feature that HRV has ie putting up a Replay of Meltons TrotsVision program
I have not used it before but want to have a look this week
Does anybody know how long they take to put this up?
We are talking Saturday's races and it is now Wednesday

TAB confusing non West Australians today
Have trots listed as Kellerberrin - no such track on HRA list
It is Central Wheatbelt - HRA has used this name (as usual) today

ps mind you Kellerberrin probably makes more sense

Shepparton is popular with many trainers but not really Emma Stewart, which has to contribute to its popularity
It is most likely the distance. For a Ballarat trainer it is a good 35 min longer than from Melton
It is even further than going to Warragul
Warragul should be more popular with Melton trainers but the shorter trip than going to Shep is probably balanced out by the toll roads you have to take - they can add up for commercial vehicles
