    And remember those figures you quoted don't include corporate turnover. And the corporate graphs are only growing each year. That information comes back to the HRV wagering manager after about a month.

    Kevin, on your first 4 notes few posts above, as I said, trots punters react differently to gallops punters. That race had first 4 written all over it. I got it several times and so did just about every trots aficionado I spoke to. It wasn't very hard admittedly. But just because there's an odds-on favourite dominating the market doesn't mean there is no chance for punters to make an earn on the punt. It's about educating punters who think it's $1.5 each-way or nothing else to see they can play a $3 first 4 or trifecta and still have a great chance of making money IMO.
    As I have said on a few occasions, odds on favorites often do not hurt turnover as what you lose on the win and place pools - you can gain on the exotics.
    There would no doubt still be even more punters who could be educated to try this strategy.

    On my way home from a weekend away, a mad dash saw me arrive at Maryborough just in time for the Pacing Cup BUT what a bonus, due to a power outage races were running an hour behind time so I saw the Trotting Cup too.

    It may well be 35 years since I have been to Maryborough and I must say it is an excellent viewing circuit.
    I loved how they were 6 across the track to contest the finish of the 3 races I witnessed - almost within arms reach for the crowd
    While The Boss Man could not hold out the wide charge in the Trot, Ohoka Punter had no such trouble in the Pacing Cup
    With the Cup now being a mobile affair, Ohoka can now lay claim to the 2690m mobile Tk Rec which up until today belonged to the trotter Wilmas Mate for both pacers and trotters thanks to her win in the Trotters Derby late last season

    The crowd seemed pretty good especially considering the man on the gate told me plenty had already left because it was too cold - it did not seem that bad to me
    The crowd however had to be 99% old rusted-ons like myself and what with the facilities looking a little tired I could not help but fear for harness's future - a feeling that will not escape me of late
    The Chairman was there and I wondered how he sees our future

    Gotta love this video promo too, filmed in my old home of YG - the pub, the old rail bridge, the hilltop views (I lived in that road until Black Saturday)

    The story says

    It will be the third year that the Yarra Valley has also held its pacing and trotting cups on Oaks Day, which Mr Shambrook said gave punters “another bite of the spring carnival cheer”.

    I am pretty sure this is wrong - I cannot remember the YV Cup being held on Oaks day before

    Thanks Kyle, that is what I thought. After looking at yesterday's pathetic TAB pools when competing against the major gallops meet, what I thought was a clever move, it would now seem to be a risk putting up your cup against another one. Or are they getting a share of what is bet on the gallops on course?
