    Burnie in Tasmania is 606m and the Busselton track in WA is in the low 6's, both are enjoyable for the crowd.

    Now, nobody cares because only 2 and a dog go. And the dog can usually be found in the dining room; not a jam donut in sight.
    I have only been to Melton on 2 occasions on my way back to the Gap and to be fair both times were beautiful summer evenings but each time there was a very good crowd there - so it can still happen

    It would be good to know Pat. South Australia (and Queensland is nearly as bad) do not even have a calendar up on HRA for October much less next year

    I will not be missing this for quids, the posts from the races at the Ekka in Brisbane look awesome, I've been to show meetings in Sydney (now Fox Studios) the Melbourne Show, Noorat Show and Bega amongst others, the crowds make the racing so I hope they get a good one. The closest thing to this type of racing these days is Mount Gambier and I highly recommend that to anyone close enough to go.

    We tend to turn up our noses at SA trots and, by all indicators, it is on life support. Has been for a long time.

    However, the passion runs thick and they can put on a show! Anybody who has been to an ID Grand Final at Globe Derby will attest. Wayville will be a great spectacle and a lot of fun.

    Busselton pulls a great crowd each week too. Lots of fun

    Not sure if there is a significant occasion behind this event but workouts were held at the Adelaide Show last year and were well received, and are scheduled again for this year

    The old Newcastle Showgrounds track was probably similar in dimension to Wayville

    Am lucky enough to have attended meetings at Melbourne Showgrounds. The atmosphere was tremendous and akin to a VFL game with spectators around the entire track. Trotting was big! Unfortunately I never got to see a Wayville meeting. What a great idea putting this meeting on. It will be very interesting to see what times modern bred horses will run around this track. Looking forward to being there October 27th.
