ODDS AND ENDS - not worth a thread but worth a post

I believe they were found at nearby Lake Tyrrell

The Ouyen Cup has certainly been decimated.
All Craig Rail's place selections have been scratched!
Probably one of the weakest open company races you will ever see going around for $30k
Uncle wingnut has won $200k, a couple of the other 5 might take their prizemoney up near $100k if they win

How many of the country cups have suffered the same fate as Ouyen....with not many horses going around for a lot of money.

Ouyen 6 starters
Cranbourne 7 starters
Charlton was better with 10
Terang had 11
Bendigo had 6 ( Lenny scared them away)
Ballarat had 12
Hamilton had 11
Shepparton had 12

Wonder what Kilmore will get.

Lenny is going to Kilmore too so you might not get each way betting there either

Goulburn had trots today while the Black Opal/Cup was on in Canberra

I really am having grandpa moments. I obviously forgot I posted this about the winner in the Speed Explosion thread little more than a week ago

"I just had a look at it too. IMPRESSIVE
He might not have placed in his previous 10 starts in NZ but have a look at who he was racing against! (And he did win 9 of 10 if you go back further)

I know it is easy in hindsight but having Horsham's feature today, the Gp3 Tontine Trotters final, within 3min of the Adelaide Cup was always going to see it bumped to Sky 2

Make sure you catch trots at Broken Hill on Ch 520 tonight - their only TAB meet on one of the tiniest tracks in the land

Dont Think Twice's win in the Tiara (covering for you New South Welshmen again) puts now deceased sire Armbro Operative back in the spotlight. It has been a couple of years since he had a 50k earner and he has only ever had one Million dollar earner (Fleur de Lil)

Fifty years of race calling today for Victorian broadcaster Peter Eustace...not a bad innings!
