    Sponsorship

    Having really only just rejoined the hearing world again, I realize I have not necessarily been missing out on much.

    I knew about the named/sponsored sprint lanes but to hear that the Bendigo back straight is sponsored is bordering on ridiculous

    Pretty soon we could end up with

    The Big Mac stakes
    with
    the Chicken Nuggets lead time
    the Filet O Fish straight (or strait?)
    the First Quarter Pounder
    the Double Quarter Pounder half
    the Hash Brown third quarter
    the Banana Smoothie sprint lane
    and the McCafe final quarter


    Pity the poor callers!

    Steve, I imagine you would of gone with the Hot Apple Pie sprint lane

    Hahahahahaha, and more than a few times, the race callers have a hard time saying the name properly. It's funny at best

    Big Russ would have had a field day with the above sponsors.

    Bendigo's Tennotrump Back Straight has been that way for about 3 years. Maryborough's McPherson's Printing Back straight probably the same.
    It's about revenue... got to cover the costs of racing somehow.

    I have only had my hearing improved the last couple of months Noel (up until then I watched without sound) but I consider the calling of the back straight and the sprint lane by sponsors names absolute bastardization of the call.
    I reckon Greg Miles would retire if they asked him to do that for the gallops

    How about the Jet roofing Kilmore cup. They run into the Northern Fascia sprint lane. These two companies are in direct competition with each other.

    Dean, I was worried that you were going to complain about my Big Mac Stakes in the opening post

    Hopefully I can have a horse who would one day win the Big Mac stakes

    Kyle continues to achieve for Warragul

    http://www.harnesslink.com/Australia...rragul-sponsor

    Already Pogga have reached somebody that had never heard of them before - me
    I could not bring myself to start a new thread for them as the longest price winner would have to be getting $1000 before I could bring myself to do that

    I have toyed with the idea of getting a funeral home to sponsor the Passing Lane - or a chiropractor to have naming rights to the Back Stretch.


    May as well take the mickey at the same time as a wad of cash!
