    Where is the money?

    How well is HRV travelling? We have the Kilmore Cup feature meeting on Sunday with 3 good stakes races BUT hrv cancels it out by having no metro stakes races tonight at Melton. As it is, our Friday programs are only a little over half metro stakes. Counting the 3 on Sunday (and the Nyah cup) we will have only had 49 metro races for the 2 months of Sep & Oct. Maybe I am being picky but with an average of only 6 a week, I don't see enough to feed owners horses much less their dreams.

    They spent 40+ million on Melton, so now owners and trainers suffer !
    Don't die wondering !

    I don't know what $40m should buy but you have made me feel better Gutwagon as I am pretty impressed with Melton.

    Vic is surely falling a long way behind NSW - NOT A SINGLE METRO STAKES RACE for the entire week/weekend

    What is going on! Victoria must be broke. It is Monday, a traditional day for a good day meeting in Vic and what have we got - 7 Races at Charlton with a total prize pool of $21k. NSW may have corruption problems but at least they still seem to have a harness industry

    HRV are at it again (no doubt all partying up in NSW) - no Metro races over the weekend in Vic

    I agree with all you say Chris except wanting a 1400 track. I like small tracks (properly banked of course) as I think being able to see the horses the whole way with the naked eye is something we have over the gallops - otherwise you may as well stay home and watch it on TV (not that our coverage is up to scratch - why they use the zoom lens in the home str instead of the back has me beat)

    The third at Melton tonight is a Group 3 Trot with prize money of only $20,505. How can a Group race in Victoria be worth only $505 more than an M0 at Menangle!
