    That sounds fantastic Kevin if it comes off.

    I took a couple of flights to Perth in 2012 for the 3 Heats and Final and I had a fantastic time. It was a great series. It pains me to say it but the best racing in Australia is in WA. No track in Australia can match Gloucester Park for atmosphere and it's a very knowledgeable crowd.

    I sincerely hope a Sprint Lane isn't in order. What a disaster that would be. Don't mess with it, make improvements sure but don't stick a cheats lane in.

    Sunday final, no thanks to that as well. Harness Racing in a night sport, it's at its very best under lights. It just isn't the same during the day. I've been to the 2 Finals at Menangle and Gloucester Park before it. Chalk and Cheese.

    Saturday night final would be far better and then take off home the next day.

    I agree with you guys about the appeal of a night final and to cater for an eastern states audience I guess 8pm would be early/late enough. (They do have daylight savings over there don't they?)

    Before Tabcorp took control of Harness Racing in NSW and VIC feature races were always on nearer 10pm.

    WA should schedule an Interdominion for WA.

    Do you turn into a pumpkin after 10pm Kevin ?

    In 2012 (March 2nd) the ID Final was Race 7. I guess that would of been near midnight on the East Coast and the Kiwi's no longer support the Interdomion concept so forget them.

    They should want to replicate that series, despite the naysayers. The build up to the final that night was electric. I've been to the Jug twice and quite a few Pace nights and Hambo days at the Meadowlands and all the big meets at Yonkers (I lived very close to Yonkers) and it bettered them.

    The 3 x 4 Heats of 9 runners off the front and same for the final worked. The barrier draw is huge at Gloucester Park but by the final heats and then the final the draw was less of an issue. Look at the ID heats this year, all of them were dominated by the draw.

    7 beat 5 and 2 in 2012. Can Return Fire at a 1000-1 ran 5th beaten 10m from 8. Mr Feelgood led from the pole and cracked likewise Auckland Reactor who got outside the leader cheaply.
