    If it is true (the three heats format returning), three cheers...


    It puts the onus fairly back to the connections of the top flight horses to support the concept. A real litmus test for the series being supported in WA taking into consideration the time and travel involved to see all of the best available horses making the trip.

    Quite right Smoken it does have something special but it does need a 1000 metre track - even bigger but I don't think they have the area to accommodate.

    Always loved the scenery there @ GP. Not many if any has those views! Definitely needs a 1000m track, at least!
    I loved Moonee Valley and the atmosphere, track might not be as good as Melton, but over all I preferred it much more, and so much closer..

    Moonee Valley closer than Melton? Are you sure you are not getting mixed up with The Showgrounds EV? I am assuming you are talking about the tracks not their location as you opened with a need for a 1000m tk at GP and talking about atmosphere

    Moonee Valley is a fair bit closer to the city than Melton Kev, easily. Melton is a nice complex, regardless of distance, but I'm sure if it was the same distance as Moonee Valley is, more people would be going. Moonee Valley is only 7.7km from the CBD, Melton is around 46km. Huge difference. I remember Strident won the last race run at Moonee Valley. Sad night it was

    Just like I did not get your drift - you are not getting mine. I thought you were saying the track was closer to the people as you were talking about things like atmosphere. I know the suburbs distances Ev - I lived in Melbourne for 58yrs before moving up here (and maps are a passion of mine)

    I hope this is true best thing for the sport the Menangle way sucks.

    Hahaha, sorry Kev, now I get ya I'm sure you know Melbourne/Victoria, & have far far more experience in regards to Harness racing, & seeing different tracks. For me, Moonee Valley any day compared to Melton, the whole atmosphere/area/history etc. Maybe in 30yrs God willing, Melton would be special in its own way. I ain't that old, but I definitely love the 70's 80's and early 90's, and Smoken Up has really given me priceless memories in the last 7yrs.
    They should put Palm trees all around Melton, and a river/beach
