    No Metro Meeting

    I can't belive there is no metro meeting this week in Sydney. We have just had a horse (metro grade) come back after a long spell, and obvisuly need to race to pay the bills for the past few months but there is not a race to enter!

    Why wouldn't they put a Menangle meet on Friday night, instead there is a Restricted meeting! With no disrespect to these horses because we also got a couple of this grade, but there are numerous race for these horses be it in the country, Newcastle or Menangle Monday.

    Here's your explanation.
    Saturday night has had the decks cleared for the Empire Stallions Breeders Challenge Regional Finals at Parkes.

    No not joking deadly serious sometimes you can't race for big money all the time so make hay while the sun shine's or do the metro horses only like racing in their own backyard's to try and get a return for the owner's

    Hi Smithy

    It very rarely happens that a club outside of Sydney has the opportunity to race for this type of money and i think it's great for the Parkes club to be able to do such a thing. They get this opportunity not only for the horses but also for the people of the central west so i think it is a great thing. People with metro horses will be able to race for good coin approx 50wks of the year surely one could understand this. Programming has been out for the last 7 wks so you or your trainer should of been aware of this and nominated your horse at Menangle during the wk or elsewhere.
