    Its a shame more mile races at Menangle aren't run like R3 last night. It truly was a race full of non-stop action as opposed to what I consider the norm.......zero moves in the 2nd & 3rd qrts.

    The one thing I picked correctly all Satdy Night......shame it didn't help my bank.

    A.Robinson was questioned as to the reasons he continued to drive with vigour and apply the whip to APOCALYPSE DREAMA after the winning post. A. Robinson stated APOCALYPSE DREAMA has a tendency to pull up immediately after the winning post and he was aware there were several horses immediately behind him finishing the race at speed. He stated he was concerned about safety and attempted to get APOCALYPSEDREAMA away from other horses. Stewards advised A. Robinson that it was a technical breach of Rule 156(3)(f) however they accepted it was done for safety reasons. Stewards advised that in similar circumstances in future, he should shift APOCALYPSE DREAMA to the inside of marker pegs after the finish line.

    And much safer than the stewards suggestion. If he is 4 or 5 wide on the track a slowing horse coming down to inside the pegs could cause a bit of trouble.

    Wonder will this new racing channel mean that the trots will get a fair go on normal Sky 1 & 2 and not get cut off or crossed to part way through a race? We can but dream.

    It sounds like a rebadged TVN to me which involved no extra cost to Foxtel subscribers as it had become part of the basic package, so I am not sure what VL is on about when he says unprecedented.
    For us it could be a catch 22 - if we are not intermixed with gallops I fear we have zero chance of growing.
    Toni, I suspect they will still do it the TVN way in that you will see the main gallops on both Sky 1 and Sky Racing World
    We are always going to be intermixed with the dogs - *%#@ I hate the dogs
