It is almost 6mths away but the TAB have put out pre-nom markets
They must be a winner for them or they have too much time on their hands

They frame a market because it is too cold for two flies to be crawling up a wall. Only the truly desperate would be betting on some of these. $8 for Lochinvar Art looks a bargain, except there are still very real doubts about his soundness. Australasia's most consistent pacer Self Assured looks an absolute good bet at the same odds. Problem: The ID starts on 10 December while NZ Trotting Cup is run just a month earlier and is has higher stakes. Three days later is the NZ FFA is worth another $200K - how many Kiwi horses will by-pass these to come to Melbourne? Self Assured is already most likely to stay home and Copy That is another on the comeback trail.

Soho Tribeca at $31 during the stud season anyone? He's trilled OK twice but will be 10 and has not raced for three years, only once in the last 4 years. $1.50 Louie Fly, $4 Buzz The Blowie look better value at this stage. Proof that some people will bet on anything.

Sorry your dates are incorrect, the Interdom Grand Final is on Sat 10 Dec 2022 (Melton) with qualifying heats as follows:
Sat 26 Nov 2022 (Ballarat)
Tues 29 Nov 2022 (Shepparton)
Sat 3 Dec 2022 (Geelong)
Although your point about NZ horses coming to race here makes perfect sense.
However, this has also been the case for the last few years

And it is all very well framing a market, but the conditions of the racing have not yet been published ......

My mistake, the scheduling of the series only serves to weaken the both the ID and, possibly, the NZ Cup. The early market reminds me of the great folly last year. I wonder how many wagers were taken on Ride High up to final acceptances?

New ranking system revealed for Victoria's 2022 Inter Dominion

https://www.thetrots.com.au/news/art...nter-dominion/

a) Winners of any Australian or New Zealand Grand Circuit race

It does not stipulate how far back in history we can go, it would appear that a horse that won a GC race 3yrs ago and not raced since would be near the top of the rankings

As predicted Soho Tribeca's comeback was short lived. Back to stud for you lover boy!

Everybody seems to think they have a horse good enough for the Inter
Giveitatry wins its first metro race and they are talking Inter
Mind you he did beat Arggghhh, who after winning last week, had connections talking Inter (Arggghhh has won more than a couple of metros)

With another golden ticket into the Interdom, The Minuteman FFA has given us a magnificent field even with the scratching of Rock N Roll Doo
8/11 runners have some sort of chance

Honolua blitzs them again
The amazing thing about Emma Stewart horses is how they string so many wins together
It is normally very hard to notch up a hattrick but she does multiple hattricks
