Penrith, Dubbo and Canberra are just so-so. Goulburn looks like a good track but most races the result is in the first 2 or 3 around the corner. Most runners are off the bit at the 400 and rarely does anything come from back in the field there.
    Your dead right about the collaboration, team driving is happening at every track. You must be from the Hunter Valley where its rife. Sydneys no better.
    The only tracks that you would put a horse around are Menangle or Newcastle, the sooner they either upgrade to 1000mt tracks the better or close down. HRNSW should put a plan in place for the redevelopement of such. Goulburns straight it too short for the sweeping bend at the last turn, nothing can make up ground. Newcastle has a sweeping bend but its the straight caters for this.
