    It is good money again for the locals today
    R8 is worth $12k for NR 60 to 73
    You don't see daytime races for more than $10k so I am guessing the club must be going so well that they are putting in the extra. Presumably so for when they run $20k night races too as you don't see it at other tracks other than when they are Metro races

    There are a few claimers going around tomorrow night which you could buy cheaply, take to Mildura and maybe win $200k

    You might notice the Madness has gone from the thread title - only fair when you a club is going gangbusters
    Interesting to see Adam Hamilton use Mildura as an example as to why we don't need sprint lanes

    An alternative reason for the club going gangbusters which was suggested to me is
    Participants have come back in droves since the cheats that were fixing the races up there were disqualified - something you should probably consider Adam

    Another $20k benefit for Bernie Winkle

    Is Mildura club contributing $10k of this? I only remember $4,500 $7,000 and $10,000 as being HRV's non-Metro race prizemoney options

    Race 5 tonight, I thought I was onto a good thing
    The fields had Mondooley Mach and Junior Feelgood both at $4
    Looking at the trainers we find that Kate Hargreaves has an unbelievable strike rate of 41%
    and Julie Douglas has an incredible 37%
    Now if I back them both I have a 78% chance of winning and will double my money which ever wins

    Alas too good to be true - the TAB has Mondooley at $2.20

    Julie Douglas contested 6 races at Mildura tonight for 5 wins and a third - reminds one of Cramp days

    How times change OR Trainers don't need to travel nowadays

    Browsing the 1971 Year Book (I do strange things like this sometimes) and I see a Mildura meet on Friday Apr 30 where they had a 2.19 class race for the equivalent of metro money ($1,100 for 1st) and they attract Reichman
    Nowadays they only get Bernie Winkle

    Greenwald, My Gal Sal, Adios Court and Deep Court were also regular competitors in FFA's at Mildura back then. Old Bernie would be getting a bit of a lesson if he had to race against those old timers.

    All were top notch pacers. You get an idea of the quality of those mentioned with Deep Court finishing second in Mount Eden's Miracle Mile. No disgrace being beaten by a freak.
