    Good win by Hi Tech Fury at Stawell yesterday for Cranbourne horseman Ken Browne.


    Ken is not afraid to travel with his horse, on the quick back up from a second at Bendigo on Saturday night.


    The horse races again a bit closer to home at Warragul next Monday.

    Hi Tech was my best bet of the day but unfortunately I think it was also Rob Aubers so when I looked at the odds it was odds on (look on) but ended up paying $2.35.
    He held the track record at Stawell for a while. Another that loves the track is Metrofromelle and she was very impressive in the way that she won the last
    There have been a few improvements at Stawell - new bigger and better bank of tvs in the betting area, a replay screen in the lounge, new entrance feature
    There was a decent crowd there, especially for a Wednesday

    I'm afraid I have to tell you that it was superior to Warraguls - a big plate of lamb and as usual their pumpkin is the best in the land

    Good to see

    This part worries me however:

    "Unfortunately, harness racing is a lot more about keeping the punter happy these days. Harold Park races moved to Menangle and Moonee Valley moved to Melton, so crowds are not great now. It’s sad to see. Occasionally there’s a good crowd at a meeting, which is exciting, but it doesn’t happen too often."

    Can anybody tell me how we can survive without followers (= owners)? I am scratching my head and thinking of what might happen one day. Could we survive with just a dozen farms/owners supplying the racing population or what is the answer? I don't want to be a negative Nellie, it's just that I worry about where we are heading and whether the gallops will more or less eliminate us if we do not get our act together

    Peaces Of You, Final Peace.
    Thanks for the link Kevin. Almost everyone around the Stawell, Ararat area would know Kerryn, she would have to be one of our sports greatest advertisements. She has not let fame go to her head, she has time for everybody. I've never herd her be rude or even complain, shes always happy and cheerful .
    Don't die wondering !

    No gallops in NSW and VIC was huge for harness racing turnover. I bet Kyle wishes Warragul had been scheduled for today

    Would prefer a public holiday Monday. The tote holds will be interesting though.
