In another thread I suggested that only a 6 race program at Swan Hill last night was a bit of a worry but I did not realize that fellow Murray town Echuca was on tonight so that may have stretched the local horse population a little as they are only about 120k apart. I would imagine the programming is aimed at catching a few school holidaymakers so I hope they were heavily promoted and did/do well

After a nasty fall the 4th at Echuca tonight was rerun but now telecast on Sky2, which gave one the pleasure of hearing a Norway gallop call before it - funniest thing ever. Caller was working off their numbers which he admitted to not being able to see - saying things like "it is hard to see", "its number 5 or is it number 6?" ..... Paul you could lose Luke to Norway as soon as next week

Punters must not rate Mildura form. R.1 winner at Ballarat tonight Laquila drew 2, had Greg Sugars on for the first time, had won 3 and placed 3 of her previous 9 and paid $40
R.5 Ballarat Volkswagen Pace - horses were tested for emissions
ps Lance Justice trained a running treble and none were favs

The last at Geelong tonight felt like a Sydney gallops race (ala Chris Waller)
Pretty hard for the punters to know which way to go when Geoff Webster had the top 3 picks
Doug's Limousine $2.90
Angel of the City $3.50
The Harlem Hammer $3.60

The Canola Cup meeting at Eugowra looked another great day on TV, and the main straight had the most unique floral display befitting the day.
Steve, I saw a bit of it on Sky and being a Vic did not know the track so I looked it up and was surprised to see it was 800m as it did not even look that on TV

Watched the replay of the last at Shep to see if the wind was a factor - it would appear not and no mention by the caller although the BOM says there were gusts of up to 59 km/h at time of running.
Our poor galloping brethren had no Kilmore meet today as the wind forced its abandonment after part of the poly running rail was blown down before the first and the wind had still not abated over an hour later - they did have gusts up to 89km/h according to the BOM.
Another advantage of our well trained standardbreds I guess - we only need pegs not a running rail

The Eugowra Club do an outstanding job and keeping kicking goals every year. The location and atmosphere is tremendous, and at the time of year, with the Canola in full colour, it's a really hard act to follow :-)
