2018 Victorian Interdominion

[Pogga]

Fantastic decision and well done to the powers that be, listened to the harness racing community & made the right decision. Bring on 2018!

[David Martin]

Thanks Pogga. Most likely the first night will be at Melton, then 2 nights of non-Melton heats, followed by the final at Melton. All Vic clubs have been invited to respond to an Expression of Interest by Jan 12, so that we can select the two clubs who will host the non-Melton heats. We are also still considering what we will do for the Trotters.


Our challenge is to make this ID18 a great event! All ideas welcome.

Some of my fondest memories came from the Interdom in Melbourne, how exciting to have it back David! Well done on bringing it back to us & I for one will be doing all I can to make it a great experience!


1992 Westburn Grant, what a champion & then the homegrown (sort of if we count John Justice as a Vic now ) win of Shakamaker in 2000, that nearly brought the stands down! Trackside in 2008 (even though not the traditional format) I'll never forget Blackie pouring on the pressure and being a mile too good.


Gets the hair standing on the back of the neck just thinking about it & no doubt the successful country tracks having heats run will promote this sport to within an inch of it's life as well.


Fingers crossed, I'll have one of my own fit enough to contest the series, Tact Tate, which would tick off an item from my bucket list!

Nah, Cocky Raider's win in the 1970 Consolation stood the hair up on the back of the neck. Reminiscent of his 1969 Melbourne Pacing Cup win.

Admire the enthusiasm but one feels this will be like passing the clocktower in the Melbourne Cup (a big field but only a couple of winning chances)

Victorian Clubs have until COB on Jan 12 to make their submissions for hosting the 2 nights of non-Melton ID heats. Who do you think should nominate and why?

I think Shepparton deserves one just for the weight of numbers they have supporting each race meet & the club no matter the time of year.. Ballarat the other, host the best cup night (just my opinion of course ) and deserve the right to host a heat night. Guaranteed bumper crowds!

Wondering how the submission process is going David?

[Yabbie]

Commercial recommendations will go to the next Board meeting which I believe is next week
Cheers All
