    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.

    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 !

    What a great meeting at Cranbourne last night.
    Average field size 6.3.
    5 out of 7 favs won. longest win price for the night $3.10.
    Average price for winners $1.93
    And this meeting gets the prime slot of Saturday night over the much better meeting at Melton the night before.
    I wonder how many trainers, owners and punters saw the other 2 codes on the night and decided to change over to them ?

    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.

    HRV don't seem to care much about small fields, they just want as many races as possible even if they only have 6 runners. Many of the 6 horse fields have 1 scratching so most end up with 5 runners. I suspect people may be nominating horses just to make sure there is enough for a race then scratching when fields come out.
