I would prefer to see them meet over the sprint trip. But I can't see LA ever beating RH.
It would seem that the 2 poster boys are going to meet at Ballarat on Saturday
BUT it is not the ideal race/timing for LA, it is simply a case of the trainer not being able to find a suitable race

Don't die wondering !
Lack of marketing gumption from HRV. They could have promoted a Pure Steel v Satinover style match race and targeted the locked-in-their-houses Victorian market with a post-curfew race time. No foresight, absolutely no will.Originally Posted by gutwagon
Notwithstanding they are both on 0 open age Gp1s wins so I fail to see why there is such an appetite for a match race but would interest in a match race not skyrocket in 2 months if they both continue their form. Plenty are tuning in weekly to watch Ride High and Arty's demolition jobs...once one of them loses a match race are they still tuning in with the same anticipation or have they lost interest?
When will either get to race then. Moran was saying that one of his limited options other than backing up this week was Terang on Sept 12 (3 weeks away!)

Ride High is time trialling (unofficial) in a few minutes after this R4 about to be run at Ballarat
Tune into TrotsVision (and maybe Sky2)

I watched it on TrotsVision (nothing other than horse hooves to hear)
Was there any commentary on Sky2's coverage?
Having watched harness racing for a long time, after watching the pacemaker, it never occurred to me that a Standardbred can gallop faster than it can pace or trot. It may look a bit bouncy but why don't we have gallop races?

Wouldn't it have been nice to have a commentary...with some times for the quarters.
From On-course...Ride High 1:52.2, last half 52.7
