Not a peep about the Irish horse on Twitter Kev. It's funny, I'm in WA for the week ... the "International" spin surrounding the series before Northam disappeared very quickly. As for Twitter, 60% self adoration, 30% fluff and 10% useful information.

As for Bunbury, ignore the spin, it was surely a massive disappointment. I was at Gloucester Park on Friday and drove down to Bunbury on Tuesday. Chalk and cheese. It was a poor turnout to say the least. What did they expect kicking off the meeting @ 4.50pm, the first ID heat before 6pm and the first 5 races run in daylight. I watched the races on the infield screen. The glare for at least the first four races was terrible.

Harness Racing is half the product it is from a spectators perspective in daylight. This infatuation with running feature meetings during the day, in heat, is beyond me.
