I now read that they are proceeding with a 'fun day' at the racecourse with big screen coverage of their meeting that has been shifted to Donald. Of course this could have been part of the trots offer - it will be interesting to see how many they get to turn up, I think there is a far greater chance that Donald not Stawell is going to reap the benefits but then again maybe more people might turn up to the athletics on the Sunday (usually the quietest day of the 3 day carnival). The Stawell/Grampians area has been doing it tough with the effects of the 2011 floods and fires again this year and really could do with a big Easter. I have to admit that a drawback for Stawell Harness putting it on could have been a lack of room.
