As someone who frequented both places regularly I have never been to Melton and been to Menangle once and it was a soulless experience. I can't say that either move has been the filip for the sport that they promised to be. Exactly the opposite I suspect. Punters like form that they can follow, mixing it up just makes it less likely that people will retain interest. I find races at Menangle terribly boring as a spectacle, it's not all about speed.
