    Was one of the reasons that we moved our horse to NSW.

    But Ash, if they cannot come up with the stakes commensurate to a group race then you cannot be calling it a Gp3

    I reckon $20k for trotters is still a fair stake for group 3 racing. Menangle prizemoney is great, lets look at that as a bonus, rather than the stakes in Vic as not up to scratch. We wouldnt know any different if it wasnt for a once in a lifetime oppurtunity.

    You'd know different Brendan if you ever watched those horses with the little blokes on the back of them go round between the daytime trots meetings! They get fed the same that we feed standards too. Just work them less and charge triple the raining fees. You'd also know different if you can remember that sires stakes races in nsw were worth 15k in the country in 1990. We have only taken a small step forward after decades of neglect.

    I'd love for prizemoney to be double, triple, quadriple current levels but I'm talking relative figures and allowing G3 status.

    Trotters Gp3 at Menangle this week worth $25K so not a massive difference from the $20K Melton G3.
