    let me guess...fitzpatricks want the change, they'd change the track back to harold park if they could! the boys only know one way, lead- walk- sprint

    taking 100m off will make a big difference... to the draw! horses from the inside will hit the turn 100m earlier and be easier to hold out horses outside them

    If you find out any info about that damn timing system showing the full mile rate as they go past the post , would be appreciated too. It was several months ago that this was announced that steps were in place to have the software "tweaked". Thanks for stopping the "and change" for the decimal point of the unknown mile rate

    Have a good day. Great weather so far.

    Just watched the first at Menangle on Sky. Anyone know what the two large square metal structures are behind the advertising boards at the 200 metres and 100 metres? Are they for future giant video screens or something else?

    Cheers ozi , no news on timing system but keep tuned for the distance variations....
    Flashing, there have been some 3009m races but only one in the past 2 years however I believe
    They would like to have a few open class pacers and trotters races over
    This distance in coming months!

    Thanks FH, what are the two large structures on the inside of the straight I mentioned in my last post?

    I would like to see a distance greater than 2300m but less than 3000m personally (most tracks have a 2700m-2800m etc distance) but I guess now I am getting picky!

    Saw on In The Gig that now the extra cost for the increased drug testing throughout NSW will no longer mean reductions in prizemoney, as was previously mooted. It's now coming out of "interest from investments" or something like that , whatever that might mean. At least some sanity prevails.
