If an optimist means paying more down to last, I'm the epitome of.
The strapper looked over the Shepp noms during breakfast, "they could run 14 races".
I reply "I wonder how that would effect nom numbers for next week?"
Quick as a flash, "won't worry Wednesday as they're at Mildura".
I shake my head in disbelief at strapper's knowledge of the racing calendar. Thinking I might have to up her pay I stutter out "how did you know that?!"
"I've got a hair appointment booked for Wednesday"
As I have said before - Mildura is a great little 'sub' state to the rest of Victoria whereby the industry keeps turning while most have a day off.
I have however noticed this season that a few southerners are being tempted by the $ on offer

Cranbourne strikes again.
Not a great advertisement for Saturday night racing.
Seven races, 47 starters.
Two races with eight, one with seven and four with only six.
Travelling trainers seem few and far between.
Another nail in their coffin.
Especially for Tricodes night which (I guess) is top 10 for attendance for a Vic trots meet each year. And following on from another big crowd day at Yarra Valley on Melb Cup day which had small fields.Originally Posted by thepacingman
Perhaps they should have run a trainer incentive across those two meets, and sold a three meet entry pass including the Cranbourne Inter heat to the general public.
The Silver Chalice and Bruce Skeggs Cup once were staged at this meeting to give the trots card some extra polish.
There may be some who dislike the busy aspect of the night with things like the stables and limited warm up before events too.
Just more reasons that Cranbourne should not have an inter heat ! Their only hope of decent horse numbers is that trainers of heat runners might bring an extra runner with them.
Don't die wondering !
Pretty ordinary size fields for Gunbower Cup day

HRV want quantity not quality, they work on the old theory that punters will bet on 2 flies crawling up a wall !

Not sure where you're going with that in reference to Kev's post.
May have been the Emma factor Kev. When noms were extended numbers shrunk, including the cup.
