    Thats true he missed a bit over a month so his figures might have been over 10?

    But who would have predicted it
    I said 'vagaries' as inexplicable for as he is showing tonight, he is one of the VERY BEST

    Maybe Chris is back in favour for he has kept the drive on trotter Cover Of Darkness having replaced Jodi Quinlan for his last start
    Previously Jodi had won 8 in a row on COD before he blew it in the Vicbred Final on the last night of 2020

    I see the Strides have take Puntarno Stride off David Miles and given him to Butt & Smith. After a good 2020 season he won his first race of this season but only had 2 seconds and 1 third from his next ten. So far after 2 runs the new stable has yet to improve his fortune

    Greyhound trainers, "as well as being dissatisfied with prizemoney, the association is campaigning against Greyhound Racing Victoria because of what they describe as unfair treatment - including the regulator’s harsh stance on contaminated feed. The trainers argue welfare officers are treating them like quasi-criminals"

    Some are planning to boycott the races on Saturday, complaining that city track prizemoney has not gone up for 10yrs. However the article says that there was an increase in prizemoney of $6m this year and that there is to be a $6m increase this coming year

    I wonder what they would make of Melton and its $4,500 race card on nights like tonight
    (that is not a rise but rather a huge decrease)

    I read an interesting suggestion that Bob Butt could not have done any homework for last night's Trotting Championship heat at AP or else he would not have stayed behind $151 and very nearly cost himself qualifying

    He may not have done his homework but he was not at risk of missing qualification as there is 2 rounds of heats

    Both Jack Laugher and Wayne Hill drove 4 winners at Mildura today. It is not often that you have two drivers have a Big day
    Leigh Sutton also got a double with Ryan Sanderson the only other winner on the 11 race program

    Anthony Butt loses Rosati horses

    https://www.thetrots.com.au/news/art...rms-out-stars/

    There is an article going around that Ant's stable was not being used as 'exclusively' as Emilio may have expected
    BUT that author is now backtracking his story
    One thing for sure is that there is no way Butt & Smith would have initiated the loss of all their stars so
    "we both agreed it was best to go our own ways" is pretty much a nonsense

    Dexter Dunn won 7 of the 11 Kindergarten 2yo heats at the Meadowlands yesterday

    http://ustrottingnews.com/getting-it...ns-7-at-big-m/

    I found it interesting that there were 4 pacing heats and 7 trots heats
