    I like a big card too, it was just with the 2 heats, the draw for the final and then the final of the Great Southern Star, I felt the Hunter Cup got a bit lost

    Great race the southern star. I read Pat paid a huge amount for the horse & good luck to him. Great run Just Believe as well , he does it tough & digs in deep every start.

    Well done to Grant Dixon & team with LTF.

    This was Vics biggest night of the year - the racenight TV coverage was VG, the stars were there and the weather good BUT we have to pull more than 2,000 people. Local footy can pull that
    I did a count off some of their crowd drone shots and there was not 1,000 on the lawn and I will be generous and say there could be 1,000 in side.
    With free admittance that is not a sport that is going places

    I really don't like the drone footage of the start of races, just give us the normal angles .
    Don't die wondering !

    During the coverage there was a good story about Just Believe during which G Sugars proudly claimed that he is the only person that works him. Yet he is not listed as his trainer or co trainer. The industry know that he is part of a co training team but HRV don't force them to register that way. This could lead to the same problems that they are having with E Stewart's team.
    Don't die wondering !

    Totally agree. You can’t differentiate horses, driver and colours, too far away etc. It just doesn’t add to the spectacle of the race in my opinion.

    Drone footage is great for the replay they tend to do immediately following the race
