I think we have to stick with Melton and make it better. Friday night racing at Melton was a disaster for our sport as people and horses struggled with traffic and it just was not possible for many people to get there for the first few races. The previous board should have realized this after 12 months and not let it drag on for years.
We need to stick to Saturday nights , having the gallops on that night may even increase turnover with people betting on Harness between gallop races.
Melton should have been a 1400m track from the start so extend the track and provide some more outdoor under cover seating and fix the parade ring.
Bring back standing starts and race from 1 mile up to 2 miles for variety. Without a massive boost from the state government another metro track is just a dream.
They need to focus on getting new owners and breeders as well as turnover.
Don't die wondering !
New Harness Racing Victoria chief executive Dayle Brown has mooted the possibility that harness racing may seek to re-establish a base in metropolitan Melbourne.
Almost ten years since the final harness race was run at Moonee Valley on February 6, 2010, Brown admits a need to market the sport to a broader population may lead to HRV looking to access a venue closer to the Melbourne CBD than its current base at Melton, some 40km away

I see Moonee Valley as the only viable option.
I wouldn't call Melton a "Metro Track".
Don't die wondering !
